The change in the ritual was recon-
mended By the rules and resolutions
committee. IL was adopted unAof-
mously amid cheers.
The delegates also voted TO change
the constitution TO permit civil war
veterans living in communities where
there are no posts OF the organization
to become members at large OF the
organization. This change was sux-
gested by the commandments
who said deaths In recent years had
caused many posts to disband. leaving
many veterans living in communities
without a post. Under the new plan.
those veterans may apply TO their
state departments for membership.
The woman's Relief Corps elected

Al the sitting OF the registers on
Tuesday and "Wednesday hundreds OF

and who declined 70 reveal theh ages

The registers hoped that the lesis-

he had made his bill broader by ex-

had pressed the bill more vigorously
on Tuesday. Il might have passed
both houses and might have become

Despite the age objection women
registered on Tuesday and wednes-
day in larger numbers than had been
expected. The guess OF the politicians
now Is that 10 per cent OF the women
will register. This 10 a jump from ~
per cent. the first estimate.
Such large numbers registered as

cans showed a prepopderance In the

Among those advanced was that
thousands OF voters. who have here
tofore registered as Democrats and
voted the Republican ticket, believe
that tbis was q Republican year, and

Carrying them to work as part of

Meanwhile city officials are plan
ming criminal prosecution of profiteer-

restaurant and hotel proprietors have
been quizzed closely as to the factors
determining the alleged exorbitant
prices charged.
The fact that corn dropped below
the 81 mark on the board of trade
yesterday for the first time since 1917.
and the general decline in grain and
hog prices, which has been noticeable
for several days, is regarded by the
authorities as an indication that con-
