Only Married Women
Allowed to Vote.
Politics are becoming of increasing
interest to the club women Of Bull
garia, but as yet only married wom-
en- have the vote. said Mile. Naoum-
of. "At first only married women
with children were permitted the
VOTE" she added, but later all mar
ried women were included"
Ofice holding has not yet become
the common rule for Bulgarian
women. and although women have
the right to serve on boards Of ed
ucation, women lawyers are not per-
mitted to practice publicly, Mile.
Naoumoh said.
This fact has come "close home"
in Mile. Naoumoff's family, as her
sister-in-law, Nine. Naoumoff. wife
of the Bulgarian Minister, holds
degree in law and is also active in
the Bulgarian Association of Uni
versity Women.
Mile. Naoumoff was guest speaker
yesterday at the luncheon of the

In the meantime, the board
members of the national league,
behind closed doors, will center dis
cussions upon the annual convention
to be held in New York in the spring
and on the part that the organiza-
tion will play in the subsequent ma
tional campaign.
Public Service During
Campaign Is Aim.
1.-The question which concerns us
IS: How can we best serve the pub
lie during campaign times?" Miss
Marguerite M. Wells, president, de-
clared. I'VE wish to help Amer
lean voters to form their conclu-
sions after rational consideration.
Our province is to furnish objec-
tive, non-partisan information, and
to encourage citizens to distinguish
between issues and propaganda.
Miss Wells also discussed the
leagues expansion campaign to Sc
cure money and more members
''in order to do a better job for
democracy" declaring the drive is
in full swing now in a dozen major
areas.
Miss Wells stated that the league
adhered strictly to democratic
plan in making it's program Of work
to be voted at its own national con-
vention.
I'm order to allow our work In
citizenship to grow from the grass
roots we asked our members two
months in advance OF the board
meeting for their, ideas" she said.
"These suggestions are collated, and
then sent back for consideration by
the individual delegates three
months before they are called upon
to vote on them at the national con-
vention."
Miss Wells Praised
For Neutrality Plea.
With revision of the neutrality
laws already accomplished in line
with the policies advocated by the
league, little new in the matter OF
foreign policy is expected to de-
velop at the board sessions.
Miss Wells, incidentally, was COM
mended widely on her statements
issued while Congress debated re-
vision of the: act. A plea for calm"
sent out the latter part Of Septem-
ber evoked approving editorials
throughout the country. And a let
ter Miss Wells sent to members OF
Congress was described by one OF
the Representatives as "the most
thoughtful the most constructive"
and the one he enjoyed reading
the most" of all the letters he re-
ceived on the controversial issue.

compared with 8205 per cent last
October, and with 8191 per cent in
May year ago. For the purpose
of contrast it may be noted that the
low figure in Office building occu-
pancy was registered as of January
l, 1884, when the ratio was 72.43 per
cent. Conversion of this into terms
representing the actual absorption
of vacant space since 1894, therefore,
the improvement is approximately
35.2 per cent.
Regional figures reflected the i'm
proved trend toward occupancy.
While individual cities-principally
those in the smaller population
group-in some instances reported
vacancies of greater percentage
than those in the survey of October
l and Of May l a year ago. the
regional reports have indicated a
general absorption of vacant space
in the Nations skyscrapers.
The Southern region continued its
dominance as bell-Wether for the
United States in the matter of office
building occupancy, the figures from
1873 buildings containing 8,O41.131
square feet of rentable area show
ing vacancy of only 1892 per cent.
In other words, the occupancy ratio
