All along the route tbe women, who are in motor cars, are gathering signatures to petitions for peace which are to be laid before President Hoover, the object being to have the United States take the lead in the international disarmament conference which will be held in Geneva next year. Our illustration shows the scene in Los Angeles as the caravan is about to start. The trip across the continent, over mountains, deserts des-erts and plains, will take more than three months, for the women depart often from the highways in order to visit as many cities and towns as possible. They expect to reach the National Capital on October 16, and their parade up Pennsylvania avenue will be something some-thing to look at Miss Vernon has conducted a number of coast-to-coast caravans in the last fifteen years and knows bow to run them. |
