THE DEAR LADIES
MUST GIVE AGES

Women will have to tell their ages in
Connecticut, after all, if they wish to
vote in the November elections.
Section 900 of the General Statutes
still stands untouched and requires that
every person taking the oath must tell
when he Cor she) became Fl years old.
Section 551 affecting application was
amended
The number of men and women who
applied to have their names placed on
the to-be-made lists will probably never
definitely be known, for the registrars
and theri deputies and increased office
force will have no time to count them.
A rough estimate places the number of
women at about $4,000 and the men at
1000. The number of those who are
made will be kept daily between October
9 and 10, but by no means all who ap-
piled will take the electors OATH Some
will be found ineligible and others for
various reasons will fail to appear.
The time limit for filing applications
expired Tuesday at e o'clock, but there
were so many applications in the regis
trars' Office at that time, that the mas
ter clock was stopped at S AS in order
that all present could file their applica-
tons before it was too late.
