Delaware Women Won't
Lose Vote if They Marry
After Registration
BUT THEY Mustn't
WE'D NON-ClTIZENS

Women OF Delaware may take
unto themselves husbands between
the time they register ;or the com
ing election and election day Itself
without either losing their vote or
being obliged TO drag poor. dear
hubby to the polls along with .hem
as an identification card.
This exhilarating news came pop
ping out OF the lips OF Lambert J.
Foulk, secretary OF the Department OF
Elections for the city OF Wilmington
with Offices on the second floor, city
end OF the Public Building.
But there's always somebody tax
ing the Joy out OF life" and so Mr..
Foulk was obliged TO qualify his
declaration by adding that women
who marry unnaturalized aliens will
lose their vote. even II they the wo-
men, have registered. Citizenship
goes with the husband. under the
la Of the United States.
Out in Chicago, the election officials
have ruled that unmarried women
who register and then get married
will be required 10 take their hu5-
bands TO the polls ,ith them 10
Identify Z, m as the same person
who registered as unmarried. There
is no such restriction in Delaware, %
sad Mr. FUulk. ANY woman who

ton and election day may vote under
the uame she gave when registered '
How about a woman who obtains
a divorce between registration and
electiOn2' was asked.
The same thing, answered Mr.
/ Foulk. "She will be entitled TO vote
under the name by which she was
registered.
therefore, summarized, marriage

new CENSUS TO
Change HOUSE

WASHINGTON. Oct. s UNITED Pressl
Changes IN The character and prob
ably the size OF the House OF Repre-
sentatlves will follow announcement
OF the results OF the 1920 census, ao-
cording to Census Bureau officials and
Congressman today.
Some OF the anticipated changes
are:
The size OF The House may be in
creased 10 nearly 500 members II the
basis OF representation is kept as it
is now or 10 may be decreased by in
creasing the number OF persons each
Congressman represents. The num-
Der OF ''oity congressman" Will be in
creased and the number or rural
congressman" decreased.
Some states will gain more members
n the bass OF representation Is I'M
changed. II 10 is unchanged. many
states will have fewer members.
The total census made public yes
terday, show there are iO5,6S3.i iOS per
sons in the country, a gain OF 1910
si2 or fi.9 per cent. since 1910. More
imporiant Is the fact that city growth
| has been so much faster than rural
that the country population is In
minority for the first time In history
The present size OF the house Is
/ 435. Increased by the same percen-
tage as the population increased, ihe
House would have about 90 new MEM
bers.
Many members OF Congress, how
ever. say the House Is already too
large for efficient work and they want
/ 10 reduced by enlarging Congressional
districts. This has been proposed
before but always blocked by mem
bers from States whose representa- on
would be decreased under the plan.
The rural representation Will be
, decreased because the rural districts
have lost many inhabitants TO the
cig,e,s, , ..,.....r .., ...,,.,,,..,,
