MANY WOMEN
ELIGIBLE TO VOTE
(By Associated Press

Washington, Sept. "a. = Figures
compiled by the census bureau and
other government departments indi-
cate that the number of women in
the United States over 21 years of
age is 28,035,000 of whom approx
mately 26.500,00 are eligible to vote
in the November election. This esti-
mate makes liberal allowance for
alien women, American women mar
ried to aliens and others eligible.
Exact figures are not available on
the number of women over q but
barred from voting through various
reasons. Census Bureau officials be-
lieve, however, that this year at least
100000 of the 5,25000O foreign-born
women in the United States will not
yet have become naturalized. In ad-
dition there were in 1910, according
to the census about $4,000 Indian
women most of whom were living on
reservations, S,6O7 Chinese and Jap
anese women ineligible to vote, a
comparatively small number Of Am.
erican women married to aliens and
barred from voting for that reason
and larger number deprived of the
ballot under state statutes in harmony
with constitutional provisions, The
total Of these ineligibles was estimat-
ed at about 100000.
American women married to aliens
are not eligible to vote, the Depart
ment of Justice has held, but foreign
born women-married to American cit
izens or whose fathers have become
Americans citizens are entitled to the
ballot without naturalization proceed
Iings.
The number of eligible male voters
in the United States this year has
mot been determinedx Based on an
estimated population of 105,O00,OO

How Big Things Are Lost.

Everywhere we see people jeopardiz-
ing the big things for the little. While
attending to some little picayune detail
that. ought to be left to a clerk,
stenOgrapher, or Office boy, men lose
some great advantage they might have
gained had they been free to attend to
1t, just as shOrt-slghted economists will
lose a chance to make 500 in the fu-
ture in trying to save 80 cents today.
They do not realize that q small coin
close to the eye can shut out the sight
Of gold eagle.
The great thing is to get the right
perspective, not to emphasize the
wrong thing. The man whose head is
buried in details cannot plan large
things.
1t is great art to know what to
leave undone to know how to weed
out the less important things and to
spend ones energies in doing the
things which will cOunt.-Orison SWEET

Good Sportsmanship.

If anything were needed to show
at once both the British love of out
door sports and the number Of young
Englishmen who were crippled by the
war, 1t could be found in the actions
of the British National Lawn Tennis
association in so modifying the rules
of the game that One-armed player,
when he serves, may toss the ball
from his racket instead Of with his
hand. To put disabled player on an
equality with competitors who are
whole is the very flower of sports

srIt.,c.s Oldest Posse ssions.

The Channel islands Jersey, Guern-

are the oldest possessions Of Great
Britain. They were formerly an APP
panage Of the duchy Of Normandy and
were united to the English crown aft
er the Norman conquest of England by
William of Normandy, in 1O66. The
inhabitants Of the Channel islands pre-
ferred to remain subjects of King John
at the period Of the conquest of Nor
mandy by Philip Augustus, 11S0-1223.
To King John II has been usual to
ascribe a document at one time re-
verted to by the Channel island people
as their Magma Charta; but modern
critics have cast very grave doubts on
its authenticity. Almost every war
with France included descent on the
Channel islands, but all to no avail.
The people, about $4,000 in number,
adhere to their old CUSTOMS and with
i'm well-defned limits make their own
laws. They are not bound by acts of
the imperial parliament unless special
ty named in them.
