A million members is the nati’onal Jubilee goal. The new plan is for an “allegiance to the constitution” en rollment with the name of every mem ber on file at Washington by Con gressional districts to prove to Con gressmen just how the women stand. Kathleen Norris was right when she said: “The 18th Amendment has given us one of the greatest oppor tunities of our lives. Administrations will rise and fall, but the work we may do now to build up this cleansing and strengthening and constructive law into our national life will never be undone.” The members wore paper carnival caps, and the occasion was enlivened by clever stunts.
