HE'LL RUN HOME AS
SHE SEEKS OFFICE
Mother of Five Files Petition for
Place in City
Council.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 9.-"My
husband is thoroughly in accord with
my aspirations and 1 am confident OF
election" said Mrs. Catherine M.
Greenbaum, yesterday. after she had
filed a petition for the Democratic
nomination for seat in Camden city
council as a representative from the
Fifth ward.
She seeks the nomination for the
one-year term and as her petition is
the only one on file 1t is likely that
she will receive the nomination with
out opposition. Jules A. Allendorf.
a saloonkeeper. will probably be her
opponent Thus far he is the only
seeker for the Republican nomina-
tion.
Mrs. Greenbaum is the wife OF John
Greenbaum. an asbestos worker, and
is the mother of five children. She
does not anticipate that her home
work will be a bar to service to the
city in the event OF her election TO
council.
"My husband thinks ] will make
good as politician and does not
object to me running for office" said
Mrs. Greenbaum. "As a matter of
fact he has volunteered to help me
to run the house. IL my official du-
ties encroach too heavily on my time.
I have been a resident OF the Fifth
ward for thirty years and have been
a booster for suffrage for many
years. Conditions in this section
need lettering and I am confident
that IL elected / can be of much SER
vice to the ward"

NEW YORK. Sept Another blow
at the high cost OF living was struck
today, when the State conservation
commission announced that Il had at
last solved the problem OF raising
oysters by hand. Hereafter. oyster eat
ers will not have TO depend upon the
will not have 10 depend upon the
natural supply from the Chesapeake
Cape Cod, and Blue Point beds. They
can. by following the example OF
w. f. Wells, biologist and sanitsrisn
OF the State commission, grow their
own.
Mr.. Wells, after months OF expert
ment has "A colony OF several thou
sand baby oysters, all hand raised
and doing finely, in the laboratory OF
the Blue Point oyster Company at
West Sayville, L. l. They are all too
young TO be OF any benent TO con-
sumers during the present oyster
season. but one OF these days the
hand-raised oyster may be expected
to take its place In the bill or fare
with such gastronomic wonders as
the boneiess shad, stringless bean.
and clamless chowder.
When II is considered that a single
oyster lays from 100000 10 100,-
OO0. 900 eggs every season. 1t seems
incredible that alarm should be felt
over the possibility OF an oyster
famine, yet that, according to Mr..
Wells, is exactly what the world was
facing prior to the discovery of the
hand-raised product. The present
short oyster crop is attributed 70 the
failure OF the oystermen to obtain
"set" for young oysters. Once "set"
the infant oyster can be transplantei
to the growing and fattening beds.
but the oyster men have been derelict
and the crop OF new oysters has con
sequently fallen below par.
Mr.. Wells has succeeded for the
first time in taking eggs from the
oyster. putting them In an incubator.
and bringing them up by hand until
they reach the setting stage.

Governor Ritchie asked him for the
opinion last week. Mr., Armstrong
mailed the opinion to the governor
last night. but declined TO make II
public until Ii was in the governors
hands.
Among lawyers there is strong
belief that he will hold that the laws
do not apply TO the women voters
Notwithstanding his informal view
some time ago that they do. Lawyers
have said lately that the off-hand
view OF any lawyer would be that the
laws apply. The reasoning. they say,
would be that the laws apply to Vot-
ers, and that II women become voters
they come within the scope or the
acts. But careful study, IL has been
said. is very likely to cause changes
IT, however. the Attorney Generais
opinion, based upon careful eXamina-
'tion of the law, is the same as the
off-hand view he expressed Informally
some time ago, the Democrats are
certain to offer a bill in the extra ses-
sion to exempt women from the ap-
plication Of these laws this year. II
they go no further than that they Will
collide with the Republicans, for the
latter want these acts wiped out en-
tirely.

Governor Ritchie Names Sept.
20 As Date to Plan Ma
chinery for Stuff Vote.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 0. Governor
Richie Of Maryland yesterday issued
the formal call for the extra session
OF the legislature, which is to meet on
Monday, September 20. to provide ad-
ditional machinery for the coming
registration and election. made neces-
sary by the ratification OF the suf'
frage amendment. The call sets $3.50
o. m. AS the hour for convening the
session.
After stating the proclamation OF
the Nineteenth amendment by the Sec
retary of State, and the consequent
fact that women may vote. the gov
ernors proclamation reads as fol-
lows:
whereas II Is manifest that the
existing registration and election
laws OF Maryland do not provide ade-
auate facilities for the registration
and voting OF the female population
of the State, particularly in view OF
the limited number OF registration
days fxed by law for the months Of
September and October. in the year
1920, and of the election TO be held
in. the month of November: and for
the aforegoing reasons an occasion
exists which requires a special or ex-
traordinary session of the General
Assembly of Maryland;
"Now, therefore, ], Albert c. Richie.
governor of Maryland, by virtue OF
the authority conferred and duly i'm
posed upon me by the Constitution.
do hereby call a special or extraordi-
nary session of the General Assembly
of Maryland to consider and act upon
measures necessary to AFFORD the fe.
male population OF the State oppor-
tunity to register and vote in all cleo
tions held hereafter under the laws
of the State. said session to begin at
$50 o'clock p. m. on the Goth day OF
September, in the year of our Lord
1920, in the city of Annapolis"
1t is understood that President VIII
lam l. Norris. OF the Senate, and
Speaker MiIlard +. Tydings. Of the
House, will be continued in their Of
fees without the formality of cleo
ton. There is some question among
lawyers as to whether the presiding g
officers in regular sessions hold over
in extra sessions, but no disposition
to raise an issue is apparent.
In the extra session of 1917 the
late Peter J. Campbell remained in the
chair OF the senate without GGeustion
On the house side the speaker in the
preceding regular session. the late
Philip ID. Laird, had resigned from tbe
house to become a member of the
public service commission, and David
G. Mcintosh was elected in his stead
Such Of the other officials and clerks
Of the regular session as will be need
ed will be employed, it is probable
without contests.
The fighting that will occur will be
over legislation, and IL the Democrats

Arms has spent the last six months

But this was only one OF the vari-
Gus body blows which will be aimed

We are not seeking to monopolize the

justly declare that the time has come
when we will seek and demand our
