and give that wife his vote and see
how she will exercise same, and it
will not be necessary to ask if she
is a Republican or a Democrat, for
she is a Prohibitionist, but, never
theless, women are going to get
their rights. Do you suppose Ken
lucky will allow other states to give
their women the right to vote and
ours not vote? No the Kentucky
women are as free as the women in
any other state and will know as
well how to cast their vote as the
majority of our men do.

HOUSING
D. c. WAR WORKERS
EXPECTED TO PASS

Proposed legislation for housing in
the District OF Columbia, as well as
housing for war workers the country
over, is expected soon to take shape
in Congress. 8
With the demands for housing in
Washington and elsewhere growing
every day, the House today has be-
fore 1t the general housing bill, pro-
viding 50,000. 900 for housing, and in
cluding an amendment which allows
$4,000. 900 for housing in the District.
The imperative need for Govern
ment action in reference to housing
in Washington has been set forth re-
peatedly. both before the House COM
mittee on Public Buildings and before
the House District Committee. In the
recent report OF the District Commit
tee on the Mapes bill, IL was brought
out that many eligibles are turning
down Government jobs in Washing
ton because they cannot hnd quarters.
Indications are that both the House
and Senate will act favorably on the
proposed appropriation for housing in
Washington.
