'@,0O0 WOMEN ID
 REGISTER BEFORE
 THE BOOKS CLOSE
] 800 Qualify Yesterday --12,- 500 Have Registered In Jeff ferson County Since 0b-
 taining Right to Vote

JCllSIo DUH COuity WOlllSH al qualifying to vote in the Mo- vember election. On the first day the registration books were open at the courthouse under the general registration law enacted by the legislature at it's special session, 1,500 persons registered.
 From the time the office of the
 board of registrars opened at
 o'clock until it closed at 6 o'clock
 last night. women thronged the
 corridors of the courthouse and
 practically swamped the fourteen
 clerks detailed to care for their ap-
 plications in an effort to get their
 names on the polling list of the
 county. When members of the board of reg istrars reached their office yesterday morning after tour of several days of the rural precincts of the county, sew eral women were waiting to be regis tered and there was continuous stream of femininity jostling each other all through the day.
 HUSBANDS, TOO
 Many women were accompanied by their husbands, and many mothers brought their young daughters and sons who had just come of age to reg ster with them.
 Of the number qualifying on the first day the books were open in Birming. ham, approximately fifty were men These were in the majority of cases boys who have just reached the age ol 21 or who have just returned from mil itary service. No person who has no become qualified since January 5, 1920 is eligible to register at this time.
 Registration books will close at midnight on October 20, and will not be opened again until July, 1921. Prior to their close on Sep | Aenber 8. approximately 5000 wom- en had qualified. Since they were reopened on October s, more than l 5000 have registered. This brings | the total numebr of women eligible | to vote up to date up to 12,5OO. It | IS estimated lhaI $bsVUO NVmGn VIII I be qualified to vote when the reg | istration books close next week. | ABOUT LURES
 | There is some misunderstandins among the women about jury duty, ac cording to M. F. Morris, chairman 0 ! the board of registrars, who state they were not registering as he had ex pected. Many have told him they woul, l qualify but they didn't want to serv on juries, he said, but this idea i wrong, for in Alabama no woman cal | be called for jury duty until the law i amended by the legislatufe, which doe 1 not meet for several years, unles called into special session.
 1 Any woman living in Jefferson coun l ty who has not registered may do s l by coming to the courthouse. Espe cially are all women living on the ca lines urged to qualify, as on account o l the limited amount of time allowed fo the registrat ton of the new voters i was impossible for the board of reg | istrars to visit each precinct.
