WOMEN FLOCK TO CAST FIRST BALLOT

vote" gasped the woman as she sank weakly onto a convenient bench
 Two sisters who went to vote informed their father when they went home that they had been unable to operate the machine and wanted to know if they could not have another chance. They were chagrined to find that they had made their complaint to the machine tender at the time, when their difficulty would. have been looked into by the moderator and they could have recorded their votes.
 Two middle aged women who are neigh bors were seen inside the booth at the same time. Which one did the voting is not known
 Che nan on the West Side was allowed to take his aged mother into the booth as her eyesight is very poor and he pointed out to her where the levers were.
 Mrs William H. Bowen was the first woman to vote in the Greenevilles dis trict and Mrs. Mary c. Lerou, wife of Mayor Herbert M. Lerou, was the frs: woman to vote on the West Side.
 Most of the women voters came to the polls by couples or il groups and in many cases husbands accompanied their wives going as far as they could with them but of course not b b-hind the machine curtain when they actually did their vot- ing.
 Members of the republican. women S committee were conspicuous around the polls all day long, working to get out the women's vote and having automobiles with which they brought in the tardy ones Several of the women workers were so much interested that they stayed till after ' o'clock in order to hear the vote that had been recorded on the machines

NORWICH TRAFFIC OFFICER
 HAS HIS CALCULATIONS

The trials and tribulations of the traf- fic officer are many, especially when the fire alarm sounds. While it is law that all vehicles should pull up close to the curb when they hear the alarm or the siren of the apparatus very few Of them pay any heed to the law.
 In talking with one of the officers on the Broadway corner he told of some ot the things he has to contend with, not only during a fire but in the routine or work. People will approach his corner blow their horn and then if he is direct ing traffic somewhere else will blow again. When he does notice them they point in an indifferent sort of way and leave the officer to guess which way they want to go. People should always make clear the direction in which they wish to go so as to avoid confusion It requires no effort to point, distinctly the way one wants to go.
 A few days ago during fire woman driver approached the corner, blew heI horn and blew again. The officer motion ed her to stay where she was but she kept coming and when the officer told hel to turn into another street she insisted that she must go to the Boston Store and would listen to no instructions of the officer Then she was terribly peevet when told she could either do as she was told or go to the police station.
 The traffic officer is there to avert ac' cidents and his instructions should b' obeyed and without argument for he is generally right and you are wrong. Civ your signals to the officer distinctly anC everything will go all right.

From the way the Norwich women eligible to vote exercises their right of franchise at the first opportunity they had to participate as equals at the polls with their husbands. brothers and sweet hearts, it is probable that there is not a community in the country that could show such a high percentage of the wo- men vote cast
 In the first district, out of 1858 wo- men eligible to vote, there were only IT who did not exercise their ri~>-. In the third district there were only 39 out of 594 in the fourth 19 out of 367, in the fifth 1S out of PAP, and in the sixth 12 out of PA.
 Two women came to the town hall to vote bringing along their babies, little tots just about able to walk. The moth CTS left the babies with the door tender when they went in to vote and then ap- parently forgot all about their offspring. The children wandered around the hall ways and up and down stairs, visiting police headquarters and other parts of the building until they were taken in charge by some of the republican women workers at the polls The mothers final ly remembered their children and reclaim ed them.
 One woman who was in the line, when it took her about half an hour to reach the checkers desk was heard to remark that she thought it was very nice that she could vote down town though her husband had gone to the Greeneville poll ing place to cast his ballot
 When she got within four or five places of the checkers desk one of the officials who heard her remark inforn1sd her that her voting place was where her husbands was. And I've wasted all this time and have got to go to Greeneville to
