is finished in -white enamel and is
very easy to clean. This freezer is
ideal for short motor trips and for

"I don't feel that way about it,"
said Mm. Hubbs. "Those women are
deep students ot social conditions and
their only endeavor is to help to better
them. Mrs. Thomson has told me that

only because she wanted to help women,

Intention of antagonising the women.'
Mrs, Hubbs stated that women arc
registering in large numbers, all over
the city today, .,'.,'. ,,
"The women are alive," she said,
I'flnd most of those who, have been
assessed will be registered. Our work
ers throughout the city are encouraging
wpmen to register today, After, we sec
the result of the first day's registration,
we will compare the registration of
women by divisions with the assessment
of women by divisions, and then make
a drive on the two remaining registra

assessed on the registration list."
Senator Vare.sald today he was sorry
there had been a misunderstanding at
the city committee meeting.
"I am confident," he said, "that we
will all be able to work out a plan of
co-operation whleh will be satisfactory
to both men and women.
Despite Coroner Knight's statement
Republican Alliance and Vare lad
era announced today that they would
hare to-adopt an entirely new line of
procedure In dealing with the work of
organising Philadelphia's army of wom
en voters.
This announcement was made because
of the clash yesterday. ,...
The meeting had been called by Coun
cilman Charles B. Hall, chairman of
the esmpslrn committee, for the ptlr
rwi nf rUvdlnir nni and means of se
curing co-operation with the women a
committee. The Vare lenders raised the
hntnt. for the sake of technicality, that
the-women had dot been officially chosen
directly by the people as nati me mem
bers of the men's committee.
Prnmntiv. the women, headed by Mrs,
Walter 8. Thomson, chairman of the
Philadelphia county committee, arose
to resent the suggestion that they hod
no standing. Mrs, Thomson. Mrs. John
II. Mason and others Insisted their
authority, and standing came directly
from Will H. Hays, chairman of the
Republican National Committee.
IJoth Alliance and Vare lenders ad
mitted today that there could be no real
question as to the standing oi tne wom
en, Technicalities, furthermore, had no
place In the situation, It was added, for
tfc remnn that the women have not
used the ballot, and therefore have had
no chance to elect women committee
men In the same way as the men are
elected.
