Young Women Only
Register As Voters
At Winchester Va.

Winchester, Va, Sept. Election
registrars in this section Of the
State are declining to make public
the ges of women who are regis
tering under the provisions of the
Nineteenth amendment.
The registrars have given out the
names and addresses of the new
women voters when applied to, but
they have consistently refused to
d'vUlge the ages given by the
wCmeE when they register, giving
almost any number of excuses for
their attitUd..
Observers who have interviewed
women claim that most of those
who are registering are young
women. and that comparatively few
of the older ones have qualified.
The fact that women will be
called for jury duty when the new
jury lists are made up is said to
have deferred many from being as
sessed up to this time.
