II the turnout of absentee
voters in the District Of Co
lumbia is typical Of q ma
tional trend, Democratic pros
poets look pretty good this
November.
The casting Of absentee
ballots-brisker In the voteless
District Of Columbia than any
place else in the country
in concentrated largely in
three spots: The Absentee
Voters Bureaus of the Repub-
licans and the Democrats. and
the League of Women Voters.
All are run by women.
The three proved to be
pretty good barometers Of ma
tional voting intentions in
1852.
Business was booming at all
three that year, but propheti-
cally was briskest of all at the
Republican voters bureau.
There was an inkling OF
things to come, too, that year
even at the determinedly nom
partisan League of Woman
Voters bureau. Mrs. Clarence
E. Fisher, longtime director OF
the Leagues absentee voter
activities, reported then that
there was q remarkably large
turnout of voters who con-
fessed that this was their first
time to the polls in 35 years
or more.
Some volunteered the infor-
nation that they had cast
their last vote for Charles
Evans Hughes and Warren G.
Harding-G. o. P. standard
bearers, respectively. in 1916
and 1920. It hardly seemed
likely that these one-time
G. o. p. supporters were COM
ing out Of seclusion after all
those years to vote for a
Democrat.
This year Mrs. Ethel Y.
Black, who heads the Demo-
cratic Absentee Voters Bureau.
reports business "very good for
an off-year election"
Mrs. Faith Gwynne Fisher,
director of the g. 0. p. bu-
reau, says business is pretty
slow. But I'm sure it will
pick up," she added optimis-
tically. 81 think it's because
it's so hot. The people who
do come in say they can hardly
believe it is October"
Voters Are Eornest
The League of Women Vot-
ers' Mrs. Fisher doesn't know
what it means but the thing
that strikes her this time Is
"the great earnestness Of the
voters. There's none Of the
joking and joshing that we
had in past years. They seem
to want to vote this time more
than I ever remember before"
All three bureaus have COM
plete information on voting
laws in each Of the 48 States.
They supply ballot application
forms, and provide free notary
service. The time to apply for
ballots is rapidly running out,
all three stress. -.-
Republican and Democratic
bureaus also have polling
booths. to which voters can
retire to mark their ballots
privately before bringing them
to be notarized.
The League of Women
Voters booth is located in the
lobby of The Evening Star
Building, Eleventh and Penn

cans and Democrats. believe

Possersby Amused
This is q source of consid-
erable amusement to passers-'
by. Mrs. Black says that she
and her assistants "get. q big
kick out Of watching people
pass by. They look at one
headquarters, then the other.
Then they look back to the
first one. A look Of surprise
comes over their faces. FL
nally they burst out laughing.
Proximity Of the two offices
has of course confused some
would-be voters. More than
one upon realizing his mis-
take, has turned and fed
without uttering a word.

canned beer.
The attractive looking olive
green cans with the WellknoWn
black and gold label printed on
the metal have special inner
coating of plastic so as to pre-
vent the beers coming into con-
tact with metal surfaces. St.
Erik's is the first brewery in
Scandinavia to use this method
for packing beer, developed in
collaboration with the ALB Plat
manufactur, Stockholm.
The beer is being delivered in
cartons of "a cans, weighing only
62 per cent of the same quantity
of bottled beer. The saving in
volume is almost so per cent. The
company proposes to sell the can

and ships chambers to start with,
gradually offering it for general
export. When, in October 1865,
