one and the game person.
 Last year. it Is stated, much con fusion resulted from the fact that number of women registered in their own names and then paid their poll taxes in the name of their husbands and as a result of this mistake were not given any credit for the payment of poll tax. When they went to vote their names were on the poll lists In the name they registered under and when they produced their poll tax re- ceipts they were in a different name so the election officers refused tc allow them to vote until they hac gone to see the members of the coun- ty board of registrars and had gotten the matter straight.
 In order to avoid this confusion II Is necessary for all peI sons to pa. their poll tax Tn the name in which they registered.

COOK

Boston, Dec. Admiral TsaI
Ting Kan, senior advisor to the Chin
ese arms delegat
Sunday suggested that a woman who
would keep her husband, never
should permit him to learn to cook
or mend his clothes.
A woman, he said, loses one OF her
matrimonial props the moment her
husband masters the art OF frying an
egg.
"It makes the husband independ-
emit of the wife, and that is fatal. "
he said.
If the sewing on OF buttons OF the
repairing of rent garments is left to
the housemaid. he added. beware OF
the housemaid. She may take care
of the things too well. The wife may
discover missing buttons lead to o
missing husband and a missing house
