About Passports

About Passports
Revised passport regulations announced
by Secretary Hughes simplify requirements
for Americans desiring to go abroad.
Holders of passports issued since January
3, 1918 under the new regulations will re-
quire no further Identification in obtaining
new passports to any part of the world. Tho
requirement Of documentary evidence as to
the purpose of the intended visit has been
withdrawn and Americans seeking passports
need only state their business in general
terms
Withdrawal of any restriction as to the
country in which holders of passports de-
sire to travel was in compliance with the
American custom re-established by the re-
peal of war legislation under which no re-
quirement is laid down for citizens desiring
to leave the country for any destination
Under the new regulations the issuance
OF passports is wholly for the convenience OF
t. Jewellers and they will be issued for travel
in Russia or elsewhere, even where the Unit
ed States has no diplomatic or consular rep
resentatives A passport in countries where
the United States has no representatives, it
was explained, carries with it no assurance
of protection as the traveller moves in such
countries at his own risk.

History Repeats
The women's vote, proclaimed as new
element in politics, was an old, old story
1000 years ago.
That is only one of the old, old stories
told by recent excavations at Pompeii
others, old when that ancient city was young
but hailed as original every time the metrop-
opolis of the New World holds municipal
election, have also been unearthed.
Pompeiis Tammany Hall, her anti-vice So
cieties her health organization are dead,
but their posters and propaganda survive.
The woman press agent was not unknown.
| The manifestoes of Asellina, apparently one
| of the chiefs of the Pompeii League Of
| Women Voters, still shine red OF the WALLIS.
"Aselina with her friend Zmyrina recon-
| mends the candidature of Caius Lollius Fus-
| Gus for Mayor because he will look after the
| streets, buildings and amusements for sacred
| feasts.'
But even then woman could change her
| mind. Beneath the appeal of Aselina, traces
! of whose electfoneering abound on the walls
! of the dead city, the diggers found
| "Zmyrina objects to her mama being used
and instead recommends the canddature Of
Caius Julius Polidius.'
| The only traces of Pompeiian writings
hitherto found have been of a political or
obscene nature, but now the works of the
universal age-old reformer have been dis
covered.
"Raise, not looks of desire on other mems
wives, but cover thy face with modesty."
'"Try to avoid hateful QuaTrels and go
home quietly"
"See that thy body, is kept clean and
clean sheets adorn thy bed"
