Suffragists Urged to Join Class, Which Will Meet Every Wednesday Afternoon in Y. M. C. A. Building. A SPLENDID opportunity to learn to speak in public is being offered to suffragists in Baltimore this winter. The three State Leagues have joined in securing the services of Mr. Dale H. Camagcy of New York, who will conduct this class every Wednesday afternoon in Room 404 of the Y. M. C. A. Building, corner of Franklin and Cathedral streets, at 2.30 P. M. The price per lesson is not to exceed twenty-five cents, and by securing a large number of women to join the class the cost of each individual may be less. The need for public speakers is very great. This will be a strenuous year for suffrage workers, for there is much work to be done, and even those who do not care to speak from platforms should avail themselves of the opportunity to learn to express themselves logically to small groups of people. It is hoped that a large number of Just Government League members will consider the matter seriously and lie present next Wednesday after- noon, January 13, when the first meeting of the class will be held. BALTIMORE TO HAVE SUFFRAGE DEBATE. "Shall Women Vote?" One of Many Subjects Included in Edu- cational Extension League Course—Debate to Be Held at Albaugh's on January 30. BALTI MORE will soon have an opportunity to hear Beatrice Forbes Robertson again, for she will be here on January 30 to take the affirmative side in a debate to be held at Albaugh's Theater on the above date at 8 P, M. Mrs. Hale, as she is known in private life, will come under the auspices of the Education Extension League, which is arranging a series of lectures to be held in different parts of the city from January 12 to March 10. Miss Lucy Price of Ohio and Hon. J. A. Mathews of New Jersey will be the speakers on the negative side, and, judging from the interest which has been aroused on both sides, it is thought that the attendance at the debate will be a large one. Tickets for the debate are $1 apiece and are on sale at J. G. L. head- quarters. Tickets for the entire lecture course are $5 apiece, and anyone holding a course ticket will be entitled to admission to the debate on the 30th. The tickets for the entire course are also on sale at J. G. L. headquarters. IMPORTANT NOTICE. The open meeting of the Just Government League of Maryland to be held at headquarters, 817 North Charles street, on Friday, January IS, 8 P. M., Will be addressed by MISS M. S. HANAW on "THE WIDER USE OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS." The public it cordially invited to attend. JUST GOVERNMENT LEAGUE TO HAVE PARCEL-POST SALE. Mrs. Wm. P. Holmet Arranging a Unique Entertainment for January 29. ONE of the most interesting events in suffrage circles will be the "parcel-post sale" to be held at J. G. L. headquarters on Friday evening, January 29, at 8 P. M. Mrs. Wm. Pinckney Holmes, the chair- man of the Friday night meetings, is arranging the sale, and, judging from the enthusiasm already aroused, the sale will undoubtedly be a success. The object of the sale is twofold—first, to make money for suffrage, and second, to make the open meetings at headquarters every Friday evening a place where people will learn to come and bring their friends for enjoyment. All friends of suffrage are asked to send in something valued at ten cents to Mrs. Holmes at headquarters via parcel post. The parcels will not be opened at all, but will be sold in their original covers on the 29th for ten cents each. In this way the purchasers will not know just what is inside of their package, but they may be assured that it is worth every penny of the sum that has been paid for it, and the enjoyment received from the sale and from opening the packages will be worth a good deal more. Mrs. Holmes has sent out postcards asking for "packages," and it is hoped that a ready response will be forthcoming. It is further hoped that the attendance on the evening of the 29th will be a large one. No admission fee will be charged, and a cordial invitation to the general pub- lic is extended.

The big while area in the West is GROWING GROWING GROWING and a long white finger beckons over the Mississippi to the East. The East, loo, is beginning to sit up and lake notice, for in 1915 four Eastern States, namely. NEW YORK. MASSACHUSETTS. NEW JERSEY. PENNSYL- VANIA will subntil the question to their voters. When one of these stales enfranchises its women, just watch for the while finger to beckon down the easlern coast, for in every stale clear down to Teias there is now an active suffrage organization. You can help prepare the people for this Voles-for-Women question by tending suffrage literature into every nook and cranny of Maryland. Those who will not argue the mailer with you (ol' 'fraid cats) will read the literature in the privacy of their own homes.
