LYNCHLESS SOUTH 1S GOAL OF WOMEN Convention at Atlanta Work- Ing for Record in 1933. Mississippi Is Cited. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, November 19.— Women representing 12 Southern States met here today and started 2 campaign they hope will bring the South through 1933 without a single lynching. | They met as delegates to the annual convention of the Central Council of the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching and adopt- | ed this motto: “A lynchless South in 1933.” Reports that aroused their encourage- | ment _included these: Only six lynchings have occurred in | the United States thus far this year and only four of these were In the South, the lowest number for a similar period in 50 years. Mississippi’'s New Record. Thé State of Mississippi, formerly high in its lynching ratio, has not a Iynching in more than a year. More than 7,000 women in many States have joined the association within two years and have pledged themselves to the eradication of mob violence. i Thirteen hundred towns and 575 counties are represented in the associa- tion’s membership. Women's organizations and churches have indorsed the movement and are lending aid, including the Council of | Southern Methodist Women, the South- | ern Baptist Missionary Union, the Na- | tional Council of Jewish Women, the Young Women's Christian Association. State federations of women's clubs and various other religious and civic organ- izations. Will Widen Membership. Regarding Mississippi, where the col- ored population is greater than in any other State, the convention had this| to say: “If Mississippi can have a lynchless year, a lynchless South is a possible and Teasonable goal.” ; The delegates agreed to campaign for extending the membership into all of the 1,282 counties of the Southern States during the forthcoming year. Another goal is the indorsement and co-operation of all types of organized women’s groups and & membership of at least 13,000, or 1,000 in each Southern State. | Make No Exceptions. ‘The women pointed out they want it made plain above all things that they do not subscribe in any sense to the | theory of some that lynching is some- times necessary for the protection of womanhood.

Sir Arthur addressed the annual din- ner of the Academy of Political Sci- ence just before sailing. He declared there that the American economic sit- uation “seems to have passed from the pessimism and panic of last June back to the depression of last January.

HILDHOOD drama, which sways the juvenile mind, was presented before the as- sembled younger Washin ton at the National Thea- ter yesterday forenoon. It appeared that there were several reasons why it was a popular performance. One was that the author, Frances Hodg- son Burnett, occupies a very special piace in all j nile mwinds in America, and perhaps also in some other parts of the world. Grown people who understand childhood are especially for- tunate, for they not only enjoy the symapathy of their own age class, but are favored also with the enthusiasm of a child. They have the expertness to create the things that require adult ex- perience, but arouse the emotions of the younger class and bring satis- faction to their budding thoughts. At the beginning of the last act of “Sara Crewe" yesterday, childhood applause greeted the rising of the curtain for the climax of the play, indicating that the author had cap- tured their imaginations, and their desire for more of the story had produced a sweeping eagerness for the play to go on to its glorious end. “Sara Crewe” might be classed as the feminine companion piece to “Litte Lord Fauntlero; elling about the charming little patrician girl, who was as fine a character as the “Little Lord” himself. Its story has entertained millions of young reades and on the stage it has become even moere impressive than on the printed page. - Another reason for Interest is that Mrs. Burnett has been known to the Capital in years when the city it- self was attaining its growth, and in a way she knew something about the youthful Capital and the chil- dren” who helped to make up its growing population. It is even pos- sible that Fauntleroy and Sara Gene Magnus. z;%‘&%‘&%‘ Your Last: Chianee 4. N Only 50c a Week -3 N 34 S teaspoons. Six salad forks. Six cream soup spoons.
