The Universal Alliance

The Woman's Universal Alliance will open its first annual conference on world welfare work at Washington on April 30. The meetings will take place at " Clifton," the home of the Alliance, on the outskirts of the Capital. Delegations of women from all over the world are expected. The subjects of discussion will cover a wide range—from " Unemployment in England" to " Character Education in Homes, Babies and Children."

" The purpose of the conference," according to Mrs. C. C. Calhoun, one of the leaders of the movement, "is to offer women of the world an open forum for the study of and consultation on the great problems which now threaten the welfare of mankind. . . . Men are to have a part in our effort, too. We are asking sons of mothers to help us build a temple in unperishable marble to the mothers of the world. No such temple today exists."

Woman Suffrage and Politics (the "inner story of the suffrage movement"), by Carrie Chapman Catt, has been written for those whose hearts will thrill to every step of the march toward the polls.
