RATHER LOSE VOTE
Than ADMIT AGE

Since the beginning of registration
for the primary election many of the
women voters have refused absolutely
to give their exact age and have
stated that rather than tell how many
summers and winters had been credit
ed to them on the books of Old Father
Time they would not vote at all. One
can hardly blame them, more espe-
cially as the registration agent is a
young and handsome bachelor and
many OF the ladies are of an age when
lovely woman Is about half as old as
she looks.
The near-riot was precipitated when
District Attorney Powell was consult
ed and gave his legal opinion that il
man must give his right age, the
over twenty-one" subterfuge would
not stand. However, as a court of last
resort, Mr.. Powell offered to telegraph
Attorney General Thatcher and this
morning the word came from that
Office that the august opinion is that
II is perfaetly legal to fill out the
identification card with the age of
"over 81"
So the peace dove COOS again. but
why a woman should wish to camou 7
fiage her age when she has grown-up
ons and daughters. and occasionally
a grandchild, is puzzle to the editor.
