Elizabeth Gemmell, chairman of the elections committee for the Winnetka League of Women Voters, urged that the vote be large on April 7. She reminded the clubs that this would be a most important contest as two tickets are to be presented for consideration and that no one should vote without giving the issues much thought.

Mrs. Arthur Barrett called the club's attention to the card party to be given on the afternoon of April 14, for the benefit of Mr. Davies' camp. Mrs. William Hale then introduced the speaker, Miss Lydia Schmidt, who talked on the Fifth Assembly. Miss Schmidt was filled with information on the League of Nations. She has attended several of its sessions and showed upon a screen, pictures of many of the world's famous statesmen, who are most serious, and in great earnest in thinking of every possible way to do away with war. It was shown that 54 nations had joined the League, but that Afghanistan, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Mexico, Turkey, Ger- many, Russia, and the United States were still out. The speaker was of the opinion that the League is of great value to the smaller nations, as it is in reality a world forum. Issues are here dis- cussed with intelligence and thought, and much that is of value is gained in that way. Our own Mr. Wilson was responsible for the League and we owe to Lord Robert Cecil the privilege of having public sessions. Anyone may be admitted. She further stated that the Amer- ican Press has given neither great nor intelligent publicity to the meetings, and our citizens are in that way kept in the dark. After asking Miss Schmidt several questions, the meeting was adjourned for tea. The hostesses were: Mrs. Al- fred Alschuler, Mrs. Melville C. Chat- ten, Mrs. Stanley Rich, Mrs. William C. Van Horne, Mrs. H. L. Woolhiser, and Mrs. Eloise W. Wortley.
