BALTIMORE. October 16.-Should
women be compelled to give their
ages when they register to vote?
Not 60 long ago whenever this
question was propounded it provoked
smiles Of amusement. Now. how
ever. it seems it has a practical. II
not a serious side There. are ques-
tions. sucn as the school loan, In
which women are supposed to be SUI
premely interested. If women fail to
register IN sufficient numbers, the
passage of such measures Is en-
dangered. And the fact Is 4 very
small number Of women are regis
tering.
The assumption used to be that
Womans reluctance to give her age
rested on vain and romantic con-
alterations altogether. The older a
woman becomes the less her chances
of marriage. This. 1t is admitted, is
not true In the same degree with
men. But. in addition to marriage
prospects,. many women now are
claiming that the woman also en-
dangers her prospects Of success in
business.
Teachers Are Exceptions.
They say that the woman who has
passed certain age finds 1t hard to
get Job or to change an old job
to q new one. II her age is known.
And what is to prevent an employer
in search of positive evidence from
consulting the registration books?
On the other hand. there are many
women who do not "look" their ages
and who. In the absence of positive
records. would have as good q chance
for employment as the younger ones.
According to Miss Laura Mainster.
president Of the Elementary Teach
ers' Association. the question Of CIV
Ing their ages when they register
does not affect teachers SO vitality as
women In other pursuits. Miss Main
ster explained that teachers ages al
ways are known because they art re-
quqired to state them when they
make out their teaching contracts.
No Reason for Telliak.
However. Miss Mainster says she
sees no reason why women-or men
should be compelled to give their
ages when they register when all
that is. needed Is the fact that they
have reached the voting age of
twenty-one.
Mrs. william H. Tarbell. welfare d.
rector in one Of the large department
stores. says she has known Of "some
pitiful cases Of women who applied
for positions and were turned down
because Of age"
