Restoration: 1,165 informal ouC of 6.913, or 1685 per cent. Mrs. Clark says: “These figu r es came before our Executive, and we th<.light you might like to have them. We feel they were brought about by having the two issues on one paper, and a great number of people not exercising sufficient »*are did not notice that the two issues were on the one paper, and voted only on the lower '"lie, Trust Control. We tliink it might be a help to some women to see thoe figures iti print.” I or further discussion of this point, read the report of the Alliance Annual Report prepared by Mr. Milner, and appearing on pave 4.
