WOMEN
NEGLECT FRANCHISE
Less Than Half of Those Entitled to

Women Vote.

STOCKHOLM. Feb. Less than
half Of the women of Sweden entitled to
vote exercised their newly-wou franchise
rights at the polls in the elections of
1921. the first year of full suffrage for
women. according to report of the
Swedish central bureau of statistics just
made public. However, the official re-
port Of the 1921 elections give the suf-
fragist leaders at least two causes for
rejoicing.
The men did not show q much better
record than the women. and the number
of women voters exceeded the male vot-
crs In the capital of Stockholm by more
than 5000 voters.
The official report shows that HI per
cent of the Swedish women voters cast
their ballot while 80 per cent of the
men voted. The total womens vote in
the city of Stockholm was 1866, while
the votes cast by men were II .19S.
The general impression throughout the
country seems to be that the Swedish
women have not fully realized the i'm
portance and significance of their new
privilege. 1t Is believed that in the fu-
ture they will make a better showing at
the polls.

.SENATESWATS ~
BARBER BOARD
Votes Solidly For Wiping Out
Examiners Who Draw Fat Sal
aries And Do Nothing

ATLANTA, July 27-The passage
of a bill to repeal the law requiring
BARRIERS to be examined and licensed
by a state board Of barber exannin-
ers introduced by Senator Clay, and
favorable action on a measure of
Senator r. w. Campbell to create
an additional judge for the Stone
Mountain circuit were features of
the Wednesday session of the SEN
ate. The vote on the bill to repeal
the barber bill was 81 to 0, which
followed a brief speech by Senator
Clay in which he declared that the
board of examiners were a bunch
of men who drew fat salaries for do
ing nothing, and that the law was
a joke as we'll as a disgrace to the
State of Georgia. He charged that
anybody with SIS bill could get a
license to be barber by making
application to the examining board.
The bill to provide an additional
judge for Stone Mountain circuit
precipitated a warm debate in which
Senators Womble, Nix and Jackson
took part, and an amendment to
provide that the new judge should
not receive salary in excess of 49,
600 by Senator Ballah, was killed by
a close vote. A committee amend

says;
Recently l shipped one car of

brought $189.31, and the freight on
this car was $189.6O, leaving de
