Mrs. Richard Edwards of Peru, Ind. former suffrage worker and first treasurer of the Natiopal League of ‘Women Voters, is the national chairman of the memorial plan. ‘The completion of the national roll of honor will be | celebrated at the biennial convention of the league, to be held at Louisville, Ky, next April. This is expected to be re. miniscent of the league's first conven- tion in Chicago in 1920, when its ses- sions alternated with those of the last vietory convention ‘of the National American Women® Suffrage Association under the leadership of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, now: honorary president of the league. Aides representing all parts of the country are helping the States work out the details of the memorial idea and are making plans for special anniversary features in celebration of the league’s * tenth birthday. "The aides who have accépted the call to revive and make permanent old as-. sociations and old memories are Mrs, Augustus L.

Mrs. Vilas has appeared before many critical audiences, and always with suc- cess, often in productions that present- ed her in the combined roles of poet, dramatist and director, x “The Drummer of Fyvie,” a stirring modern ballad, is based upon the ancient curse upon the Fyvie Castle in Scotland, which avers that no Lord of vie will ever be succeeded by his son. death of Lord Leith of Fyvie Cas- tle in 1925, subsequent to the death of his son, whe died while serving in the South African War, aroused anew in- terest in this legend, which lives again in _the brilliant poem by Mrs. Vilas. In her “Maker of Souls” Mrs. Vilas has been credited with having written a drama of lyric beauty. It is described as an Oriental phantasy in two acts and a vm‘lgue. for which Mrs. ¥ilas has also tten the musical concur- rence. Javan, the alchemist, is the maker of souls, and to him come the “Wanderer,” a soul seeking perfection, and other characters of uni - terest. Mrs. V. C. Moore of Nevada and California is also a Pen Woman, State vice president of :the league in Ne- vada. She has been doing some im- portant work in California in the field of social research, and her talk will have the authenticity of a recital of personal experiences. Mrs. Grace Thom) Setorr, 'who has 1 been widely known through her fia, chronicles of her adventures in China, India and other far-off lands, 1s gaining new laurels in a quite differ- ent field of writing—that of poems and lyrics. A quality in her verse has inspired composers who have found them ideal for musical setting.

In fog, or where visibility is poor, a pilot sometimes mes lost. Perhaps his gasoline supply is growing low and it may be imperative for him to find an airport. If the name is not written for him to read from 'a safe altitude he is often forced to dive at the railroad station, where he is rea- | sonably sure .to find it. Picture the difficuity-—and the danger—in trying to decipher at a hundred or more miles an hour a sign intended to be legible for passengers on a slowly mov- ing train, “Of course, the more inexpérienced a fiyer the more often the diving stunt is tried, for it's easy to get off a course while learning. Inexperience makes a double hazard for the pilot and the peo- le below, A novice should always fly igh and safe and can ha be.bgnul if accidents -occur. under’ these condi- tions. Incidentally, to come so low over populated areas is against Department of Commerce regulations. ‘So important has the need for sign paifiting become that various organiza- tions have made efforts to have it done systematically. Following instructions | from the Department of Commerce, the Guggenheim ' Foundation = has ted diretions for properly painting or set- ting up markers, and distributes them free. It also has written each post- master in towns between 1,000 and 50,- 000 population asking that they try to persuade a local club or the city fathers to display the town's name.
