Twenti Anthony League.—There is a tide in. the affairs of clubs which, taken at the opportune moment, leads on to greater usefulness and achievement For 12 years thp Anthony League, through the untiring ecorts of its founder, has filled a useful place in the club activities of the Capital City. The time has now come for a more &pe- cific work, a movement for the pay- ment of e great debt—the debt of gratitude which men and women owe to one who dedicated her life to the emancipation of mankind. Susan B. Anthony's name deserves to be enshrined in the heart of every true American—in the memory of every girl and boy; and it is this task, this recreating of interest in her ca- reer, and the just recognition of her long life of service to humanity, which the Anthuny League. now to be known as the Susan B. Anthony Foundation, has set 1or itself. This will include | Speel ir and | recent | six months | dantias. TeQUests | seeking a night's lodging. At a meeting to be helll at 1734 N street.

Anthony as a national educational feature of the Anthony “wheels.” which she will explain, and the raising of funds for the memorial building.

By the Associated Press. STOCKHOLM, September An effort to rescue and revive the dying dynasty of “visents,” or Kuropean buffalos, said to be the rarest living mammals in the world today, has just begun here in the opening of a 100-acre preserve where these ani- mals will be allowed to live and breed under natural conditions. Out of a total of only 56 “visents” in the world, seven are to be found in Sweden, and up to the present time this herd has been kept in the open- air museum of Stockholm. But the animals did not seem to thrive well in the restricted space. Information regarding the situation came to Con- sul General Axel A. Johnson. who immediately offered to set aside 100 acres of the wildest part of his estate in central Sweden as a preserve. The offer was accepted and now a bull “visent” and two females have been turned out into the kind of country over which their ancestors roamed thousands of years ago 13,000 Volts Fail to Kill. ‘While working on a high-power electric line near Fargo, N.
