HAVE TO TELL THEIR AGES.
Women of California Don't Like This
Phase of SUFFRAGE.

San Francisco Nov. 11.-Woman
suffrage is welcomed in California by
many of the gentler sex, but telling
of ages has caused considerable con-
sternation. Assemblyman c. c. Young,
in an address delivered recently, hint
ed that the publication of women's
ages as prescribed by law, might be
menace to suffrage.
When women register they must
declare their ages. Declarations are
published. So it is easy for cosby
neighbors to obtain sworn figures.
President Taft declared here recently
that suffrage will be failure unless
all the women voted.

Washington, April 3.-That the fed

to shirk the responsibility of adopt

Mr.. Humphrey is the Philadelphia

SUCH" said Mr.. Humphrey, that by
reason of the influence Of greedy
commercial and realty interests the
local authorities are unable, as well
as untitled, to revise properly the
building codes. The city of New York
has one of the most antiquated build

all the more deplorable for the reas
on that New York often serves as a
model for other cities.
"The recent attempt to revise the

safety and decency the mayor was
compelled to veto it.
"One of the reasons why the build
ing laws of European countries are
so effective is that the essentia,
features are promulgated by the gov
ernment, and the authorities of the
various cities make only such mod
ifications which are necessitated by
local conditions, and which do not
affect the general law. This policy
might be followed advantageously by
the United States government. Little
real progress in the making of build
ing codes can be recorded until we
get a general law, for it is a fact
that commercial interests of a city
always fear that the enactment of Il
strict and honest laws which compels
the erection of safe building of fire
resistive types will drive capital to
places where the building regulations
are lax"
