New Voters Lay
 Siege TOCity Hall By The Hundreds
Today Will Probably Ere a k Yesterdays Record of 2,3OO But With Only Three Days More the Making of All Those on the List Looks Hopeless.

Elshty-five new voters were made m the first half hour today and there was a long line waiting in the hall leading to the Council Chamber all the morning.
 The Selectmen say that if the rush keeps up as it started yesterdays high record of 2,331 will be beaten today. ,
 Among the women who were made McCoombs. S6 Lynwood avenue; Mrs. Ethel Keefe, s17 Beechwood avenue; Laura L. Armstrong, 20 Brooklawn avenue; Amelie L. Lashar, 697 CIin- Clinton avenue; Lucia Klien. 76 liar rIet street; Florence Goldberg; Mrs.
 Frank B. Finn ,1361 Iranistan ave
 nue; Mrs Thomas J. Bray, Hawthorn
 North Main street, and Mrs. F'lrra
 Fairchild, 1920 Park avenue
 Foreign born women who have
 married American born husbands
 were again cautioned by the Select men that it was necessary for them to have their husbands come along With them to make an Identification
 and American born women who have
 married naturalized husbands that it is necessary for them to bring their husbands naturalization papers with them.
 Any woman whose name was at. any time on the lists as a voter at the school elections in this city, no matter whether they had their names pldceu on the 10 Be Made lists can i be restored to the lists by applying to 1 the General Registrars at Room No 1 Z, City Hall and it is not necessary l for them to appear before the Board l of Registration in the Council Chame Der.
 i Most of the women who applied 1 for citizenship this morning came to l the City Hall in trolley cars or buses although there were some who came
 in their private limousines. l They were of all ages and many of | them had with them small children 1 who they led by the hand while oth-
 CTS carried babies in their arms. 1 After being made voters most of l the women inquired for the location 1 of the voting machines which are i used for demonstration purposes and | they took great interest in the work 1 ing of the machines.
 From the number who requested to
 be shown how to split the ticket so B. Brandegee for United States Sem ator it would appear that Brandegee 1 is to get very few of the votes of Republican women in this city. i Yesterdays record of 2,331 new voters is the best that has been made since the making of voters began last Saturday but at that it is evident that
 a large number of those whose names ! are on the To Be Made lists will not have an opportunity to vote this year 1 as in the limited time there will not l be time to make them all. , There are over 1S,5O0 names on i these lis and there are have been only 7,S00 made up to closing hour i last night.
 i This leaves 1O,7O0 to be made in four days and it can't be done.

 LIQUOR WHICH
 PUT OHLA OUT

That two other men drank the same liquor which is believed to have caused the death of August Ohla, of 51O Railroad avenue, on October II |, and neither suffered any ill effects from their drinks, was learned this morning during the investigation which is being conducted by Coroner John J. Phelan. A number of wit ness were heard today, but the cor oner has not yet brought the matter to close.

He retired in good health Sunday night, but on Monday morning complained that he was not feeling well. He went to his work in Jennings Brothers garage, where he was employed in the plat ing room, but returned home in about an hour, saying that he was feeling much worse.

She stated that her father did not recognize uer- sons in the room during the evening, hand asked that the lights be turned on.

ITS COUTURE" A TRADITION
"Hielnbrow" City of Bogota, in coIom-
bia, Does Not Really Live Up
to Its Reputation.

BogOta, the capital of the Republic
of Colombia, is sort of South Ameri-
can Boston. Ever since the days when
it was a colony of Spain it has been
accounted "highbrow" town and its
name has been associated with litera-
ture, art, science and education. 1t
is filed with sculpture, which ranges
In subject from local heroes to great
figures in Spanish history. There are
many schools and colleges, museum
III an astronomical observatory.
Despite all this, the intellectual at
mosphere of Bogota is more of tradi-
ton than reality. No great works Of
art have been produced there. The
city is full of poets, but that Is true
of every city in Latin America, where
young men and women compose and
recite poetry as social diversion.
just as they play the piano and sing
songs In this country. The scientists
of Bogota have made some real prog
ress, especially in archaeology and nat
ural history.
Many of the people of Bogota are
Spaniards- of the purest descent. When
the country was colonized by the Span
iards centuries ago the cOlonists re-
tired to the high Andean region and
have lived there ever since In an isola-
ton which has kept them trne to type.
These Spaniards form the ruling class,
the rest of the people being ''mestizos'
of mixed Spanish and Indian blood.
BogOta is situated at an elevation
of almost 1900 feet and enjoys a
splendid climate.

plants Demand Cold. .

After the period Of growth in spring
and summer there is period Of dor
NANCY before the cold weather sets in,
and if plants are maintained artifi-
cially at a high temperature this dor
ynant period persists. Exposure to
cold is needed to activate the plant for
another period Of growth. Perhaps the
liberation Of engines acts on the
stored starches, converting them into
sugars, or the phenomenon may be due
to a change in the permeability Of the
cell-membrane. Though normally the
stimulus required for a renewal OF
growth is supplied by cold, mechanical
injury or a period of drying may have
the same effect. The process occurs
independently in any exposed part Of
plant, so that II one or two branches
of plant be kept continually warm
while the other is subjected to the
usual winter chilling, the former will
not develop on the return of summer
temperature, though the latter devel-
ops as usual.
