SAN FRANCISCO, December 2S-By
catering to the feminine desire to conceal
age. the last legislature of California
brought upon state and county officials
a series of unexpected problems, which
are now coming up for solution.
The legislators amended the registra-

of the embarrassment of recording their
ages AS the same amendment frees
male voters also from recording their
ages, and the new county registration
Lists do not contain age figures, county
officials are unable to report to the state
the names of men eligible to military
service, as required by law.

far east. met the full force of the hur-
ricane off Ushant, on the French coast,
Christmas morning.
Great waves washed the vessefs decks
from end to end, and flooded most of the
cabins. The passengers. driven from their
berths, were compelled to sit for many
hours, most of them in light night cloth
ing, knee-deep in water.
Vessel Is Crippled.
Finally an immense sea struck the ves-
sci and crippled her. Wireless messages
were sent off asking assistance. but be-
fore this arrived the captain had once
more got his vessel under control, and
was making his way as best he could to-
ward the mouth of the Thames, where the
Narrung arrived with a heavy list and
everything on the decks smashed, torn
or washed away.
From most of the southern ports come
reports of the arrival of storm damaged
vessels. Many of them were compelled
to abandon the voyage on which they
had started because of the injuries they
had suffered during the series of hurri-
canes.
