—— UL T FIGATFORPROGRAN] WOMEN'S PURPOSE Voters’ League Resolves to Press Legislation—Organi- zation Ends Session. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 16.— ‘he second annual convention of the Na- tional League of Women Voters closed its si v session here this afternoon with a meeting of the na- tional board of directors and the state chairmen, at which the coming work of the league was finally dis- cussed and planned. Mrs. Maud Wood Park, national president, announced today that the fight to carry out the extensive pro- gram of legislation adopted at the convention would be started without delay. Will Call on President. A deputation of league women will call on President Harding next Mon- day morning to present the resolu- tion of thanks adopted by the con- vention for his support in his mes- sage to Congress of the maternity and infant care bill, the resolution (adopted requesting the President and Congress to initiate the movement for an immediate reduction of arma- ment by all nations and the propo- sition to make August 36 a federal holiday. in recognitioa of tite pro- claiming of suffrage f&# women. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New York had offered the resolution to the conven- tion at the suggestion of the Tennes- see delegation. It was unanimously adopted. Invitations were received from Bal- timore and Houston, Tex., for mext year's convention. The board of di- Tectors will select a meeting place at a later date. The convention this morning adopt- ed the clause in the recommendations of the standard committee on election Jaws and methods pertaining to rimaries. Action on this matter had een postponed until today at the re- quest of Mrs. Catt, chairman of the committee, because of a joint debate held on the subject last night. 1 Zhe plank on primary elections fol- ows: “The comsittee urges the utmost in- fluence of the league be exerted in oppositiod to any attempted repeal of state primary laws, and that support be given to proposed amendments = which tend to make nominations more rapresentative of the masses of the voters.” Introduction of the new national officers and regional directors, and the clearing up of unimportant busi- ness occupied the balance of the morning session. NOW USING AIRPLANES i " TOSPOT MOONSHINERS ‘ i l ¢Stern Reality” Reported From Counties in Area East of the Blue Ridge. Special Dispateh to The Star. ‘WINCHESTER, Va., April 16.—Em- ployment of airplanes to spot moon- £hine camps in the mountains of [Z Virginia, recently put down as the |= product of rural reporters’ imagina- (= tlions, now is a stern reality, accord- (= ing to residents of severai couaties!= east of the Blue Ridge mountains, [= who were here today and told of ctually seeing one of the two oc- upants of a machine in Madison county - taking _photographs of the surroundings of several distilleries. One man said he had business across . the mountain several days ago) and, feeling somewhat fatigued when he reached the vicinity of a still, whose owner he knew. he stop- ped to refresh himself. While the hospitality of beimg extended and -he just in" the act of ]l'ftlfll a gl “to his lips and saying. ‘ell, old boy. here's lookin’ at ya' they ‘were h\terrumed by a buzzing, Wwhich sounded like a mighty swarm of bees. They looked up_just as the photographer “snaj * ped” the surroundings. The “gues aid he darted under a large tree hat had fallen in such a way as to afford a comfortable refuge for any one seeking it. The excitement over, the visitor resumed refreshing him- self where he had left off. Residents of Rappahannock, Greene and other- counties not so densely populated say the appearance of air- planes in those sections is no longer unusual, but, it was pointed out, moving a moonshine still from one place to another is a simple process.
