By KATHLEEN MCKEE.

Feeling it my patriotic duty that
learn to manipulate a voting machine to
the extent of being able to take my
choice between two men l had never
heard of before the campaign, 1 set out
to the democratic headquarters for the
purpose of becoming initiated into the
mysteries of voting, hitherto uncontam-
ined by women's interference.
Considering the state headquarters the
source of education and knowledge in
all matters political l decided to park
there first.
After taking a look around the room
l managed to hypnotic one of the ex-
traordinarily busy stones" into looking
at me.
Have you got a voting machine here, -
asked politely.
Dear me, no, this is the democratic
state headquarters for women" she said.
Il was under that impression or |
would not have come here" l returned

to teach a lady like myself how to vote -
Whereupon she asked me what 1
wanted to know.

turned patiently.

Her face frightened, "Ah, l under
stand, now" she said and she immedi-

papers.
Now" she said, there is little
pamphlet on the record of Gov. James
NJ. Cox, the democratic candidate for
president, and, here's one on"
But listen here l interrupted, 81
didn't ask you to tell me who / am to
vote for; l asked you to instruct me in
the art of casting the ballot"
Il don't know anything about that, -
she said in a frigid tone.
/ muttered something to myself about
what she was up there for.
We'll, is there anybody here who can
tell me how to operate. a voting ma
chine?"
She stepped aside and called a con-
ference of two associates who cast Gu
rious glances in my direction, and finally
she came over TO me.
None of us know anything about vot-
ing machines, but If you go to the state
central committee room they might be
able to tell you something"
Having thanked her for her lack of
information l made a second trial.

told the man in charge Of the commit

He gave me a frightened look which I
interpreted to mean that he considered
me a subject for West Washington
street.
Wei, realiy-that isl mean-why,
don't know enough about one to be able
to instruct you along that line"
why don't you try the county head
quarters" he suggested. II am sure
that they will be able TO tell you all

her face assumed a blank expression
and she said, voting machine, voting

at the election, isn't it,
Having been assured that it was the

me that she had never seen one.

A Memorial Minute.

The Social Service League of Montgom-
cry County. Maryland. hereby places on
record its appreciation Of the great loss
which we have sustained In the recent
death Of the Hon. Philip D. Laird.
For years Mr.. Laird was loyal and
generous supporter of the Leagues efforts
to promote the welfare of the people Of
this county, with whom and for whom he
lived and labored.
When this exemplary statesman was
compelled. by declining health. to retire
from the exactine duties of the high posi-
tons in public life to which he had been
called. he counted 1t privilege to devote
his ripened counsel and influential coop
GRAFTON to the expanding work Of our
benevolent Corporation.
Among his latest labors was a careful
and systematic compilation Of Bylaws
adjusting the Leagues activities to the
work now urgently demanded Of 1t.
These Laws abide with US as a working
memorial of his fellowship in Social Ser
vice and their submission marked fitting
close of our association with this Christian
gentleman.
For the League:
