Every Deceirfbei: in recent years ?,Trs Carrie Chapman Catt, pioneer suffragist and leader of other women 's movomenUs, has surveyed the doings of her sex and picked the "ten outstanding women of tho year."

Top place for tho last three years went to Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Recently Mrs. Catt decided her lists were becoming perhaps too pepular. Because she was bombarded with "snggestions" of names to include anrong her selections, to the point where she felt the list was no longer "a personal thing,." she announced she would ckoose no more. Now 77 years old, Mrs. Catt is de'rcding the rest of her years — "as long as I can stand up" — to the causo of pormanenfc world i>oace.
