Cleveland, April 9.-The future in
fluence Of women in politics, through
reforms in election laws and methods,
will be largely determined by the de-
cisions of the National League Of Wo-
men Voters on proposals to be sub
mitted by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
to the leagues second annual conven-
ton here April II.
Mrs. Gait, as chairman of the lea
gue's committee on election laws and
methods, is counted on to supply the
surprise Of the convention
: A veil Of deep mystery has been
drawn over the proposals to be made
by her with regard to election re-
forms While outlines Of the reports
of all other committees have been
submitted to headquarters. Mrs. Gait
has declined to give any indication Of
the nature of her report.
It is suggested, however. that the
recommendations may deal first with
plans for greater participation and in
fluence by women in local political af-
fairs. This is an off year in national
and state elections, but is the year
when the majority Of municipalities
and counties elect their officials.
$780,. ~ Increase Power. T.
BY concentrating on obtaining a
larger share in local election matters
this year, it is suggested, the women
will be able to present demands more
effectively next year when they come
forward with their program for re-
forms in state and national elections.
While Mrs. Cats proposals for
program Of election reform laws, be.
cause they involve the whole future OF
women's influence at the polls, is the
center of interest, the coming conven-
tion will deal with many other import
ant issues touching women's affairs
Plans will be laid for continuing
the fight for laws to help the house
wife's fight against the cost OF living
Included in these are:
Federal laws for the regulation OF
the meat packing industry; for great
er appropriations for studies and in
struction in home economics: for cold
storage regulation; protection of CO.
operative associations; for extende1
work in social hygiene and for the
regulation of conditions affecting wo-
men in industry.
State Action.
State action, along uniform lines,
will be urged to restrict profiteering
and the boarding and waste of food;
to establish public-owned markets,
abattoirs and milk depots; to encour-
age legitimate cooperative associa-'
tions; to establish more uniform laws
for marriage and divorce; to equal
ize the property rights of wives with
those of husbands and provide joint
guardianship rights over children; ex-
tension of mothers pension laws, and
fuller cooperation between state
committees on American citizenship.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-The numerous matri-
monial bureaus of Berlin, where a
spouse may be had for the payment OF 10

ing business. The advertising columns
of the newspapers are being utilized,
prospects" are being bombarded with
letters and circulars extolling the adj
vantages and virtues of the several
bureaus are being scattered broadcast.
The marriage literature makes its
principal appeal to the "home-loving
instinct" of men, who are in much
greater demand in the marriage market
than women.

always discriminating or discreet in the
selection of eligible males One bureau
