Upon tho second occasion spoclal precautions were taken to seal the vault.

Amendment Murt he Ratified Before Mav 1st or Ehe They Lo?e. WASHINGTON. March 25. Women in,secral states may ldenied a vote in the coming presidential election despite ratification of the suffrage amendment before November, it is said at the headquarters of the national woman's party here, unless changes are made in registration laws. In order that women all over tho United States may register for tho coming November election under existing laws, ratification must be completed before May 1, 1320, on which date Georgia closes its registration. Bxcluding Georgia the next date is Jur.e .10 when registration closes in Hhode Island. Begistratlor. in all other states does not close until September or October by which time suffrage leaders are confident the amendment will be ratified. Laws in South. Other requirements, however, beside the element of time may nullify the women's vote next November in certain of the states, especially in the south, unless the legislatures are willing t make necessary changes in the laws. Payment of a poll tax is required In eight of the states; In Virginia over a period of three years before the election and in Florida und Louisiana for the two years previous. Texas law calls for the payment of a poll tax on Jan. 1, Alabama and Mississippi on Feb. 1. and N'orth Carolina and South Carolina on May 1. Pressure will be brought to bear upon the legislatures, where necessary, to have registration re-opened and the laws modified. It is Kiid here, but women political leaders hope the changes will be accomplished without difficulty. In states where women have not heretofore been given the privilege of fultillIng the necessary requirements, provision should be made for them to go to the i oils this November If tho amendment is ratified in tlrnc. they assert. No opposition to the operation of the suffrage amtmlment in strongly anti-suffrage state, similar to tactics employed in the south to limit tho negro vote after the passage of the B'th amendment, is considered likely by suffragists here.

PEACE-TIME RESERVE OF ENGLISH WOMEN

BONBON, March 2". Women probably w ill play an even greater part in I'ngbind's next war than in tho last, when they were first formed into companies, brigades and divisions for behind-the-lines service. Plans are now being canvassed by War Sec'y Churchill how best to es'tablirh a peace-time reserve of skillid women. The government fully recognized the invaluable work done by Waacs, Wrens, Wrafs, and other skirted soldiers. Tho reserve will probably be one that can quickly be expanded in case of hostilities. It will be the world's first woman's war reserve.

ARE YOU ONE OF THE MODERN THIEVES, CIVIC OR SOCIAL

COBBMBUS. O., March 23. Bo you know what "modern social thefts" r.re? They ar: Dishonest taxation returns, extravagant living, emphasis on expert publicity rather than the quality of Roods sold, unjust distribution of wealth by employers, and taking Tay for time not put In by employes. At least, this is the judgment of Rev. Dr. Irving Maurer, pastor of the Firi-t Congreratlonal church here. Now. what are "civic thefts?" Again the Rev. Dr. Maurer sheds light by explaining that the spending of public money and equipment by wasteful employes is one of the worst of civic the ft 5. "The profiteer, too, is a thief, because he goes on the theory that he has a right to whatever he can get away from yoj." said the clergyman. "You can always tell by his use of an automobile whether the man driving it pays for the gas and tires." ha said. Thieving from corporations has attained alarming proportions, according to Rev. Dr. Maurer.
