Quiz Male Voters
Otntfostd from Pe One
IPorty-necond Ward, nt Broad street
And Oak Lane nvenue, was too excited
to 887 much.
"I do hope I get a lot of them," she
aid. Her nttltude was that of a
hostess who hopes everybody will come
to her party In spite of the threatening
weather.
Mrs. John Costello, mother of Pnul
Costello, Olympic oarsman, wan the
first of her family to register. She
was up nt nn early hour, had break
fast cooked for her husband and
her two sons, Paul and Jack, and was
too busy to do much talking except to
iar she was going to register Republican
this year. Lait year she registered
Democratic, but she expressed herself
as vry well pleased with the present
Administration, this accounting for her
change.
Tho registry booths had barely opened
when Mrs. Dobson Altcmus, vice chair
man of the Republican Women of I'hil
ndelphla County, started a tour of the
city.
In a Ford automobile, and dressed for
real work, she started from the head
quarters of the women'-) organization.
221 South Eighteenth street, at 7
o'clock. She wbm out on the Urine
line before hundreds of voters had
reached the breakfast table. She ob
served the work of women registrars and
gave them assistance wherever needed.
Mrs. Altemus, attired In a black silk
dress, a turban hat, gray hllk ho.e and
black suede shoes, attracted much atten
tion when she entered n saloon in Man
uyunk and registered.
Diamond earrings and a pearl neck
lace were her only Jewels. After regis
tering and visiting several other polling
places in the Mannyunk section, Mrn.
Altcmus drove Immediately to her or
ganization's headquarters on South
Eighteenth street.
From thore she struck out directly
through the heart of the South Phila
delphia wards. She visited eighteen
polling places within two hours nnd
one -half, and was received on every
hand with courteous ntteutlon. Mnny
ward and division lenders recognized
and saluted her.
In a polling place near Sixth nnd
Christian streets. Mr. Altemus met
Mayme Wisher, of 010 South Sixth
street, n colored woman who told the
Republican woman leader she had left
her work nt the washtub in order to
reelster.
Mrs. Altemus complimented the
woman on her civic pride, and after
several minutes' conversation promised
to consider placing her on the South
Philadelphia committee of the Republi
can women.
Mrs. Altcmus had visited but n few
polling places when she decided to make
a practical suggestion to the regNtrn
tion commissioners. She said she was
Impressed by the obscurity of the poll
ing places and expressed the belief thnt
If they were easier to And. registration
would be heavier. She will suggest to
the registration commissioners the plac
ing of large placards to mark the loca
tion of the polling places.
In the Twentieth division of the
Forty -Seventh Ward, the first woman
to register was Arbertha White, colored.
1745 North Twenty -first street. She
arrived nt the polls at 7 :03 o'clock. She
said she was a music teacher, and was
compelled to get up an hour earlier to
register, ns she expected a crowd of
women to be nhesd of her.
Mrs. Fannie Price. 2f22 South Sixth
street, believes woman's plncc is nt the
polls, at least on registration day. She
left her child at home with its grand
mother this morning and took her place
as Republican watcher at the twenty
seventh division polling place of the
Thirty-ninth Ward. I'p until 0:H0
o'clock no one bnd registered there, but
Mrs. Price was not discouraged.
Eleven women were included in the
thirty-three electors who regiotered at
the eighteenth division polling place of
the Seventh Wnrd during the first two
hours.
Thomas .T. Jeffries, socially prom
inent and a Pennsylvania member of
the joint Delaware River Bridge Com
mission, entered the sixteenth division
polling place of tho Seventh Ward and
blinked his eyes when he beheld Miss
Catherine Maguire seated at the reg
istrar's desk.
James Craven, another registrar, for
mally presented Mr. Jeffries to Miss
Maguire. This function over, Mr. Jef
fries then unearthed n lot of personal
Information concerning himself. Includ
ing Ins age, his height and weight. IIo
gave the Information unhesitatingly nnd
appeared to take the new order of things
with delight.
"I am glad to see wonmn take her
place in the political life of the. city
and nation," he said gallantly.
Itride-Elect Asks Question
"When Miss Marian Taylor, of 1R25
Pine street, daughter of Dr. William J.
Taylor, had finished registering at the
same polling place, she announced rhe
planned to be married in the fall.
"We will live in Chestnut Hill." she
said. "Will I vote here or in Chestnut
Hill?" She was instructed to vote
where she had registered at the coming
primaries and election, but to register
in Chestnut Hill for the succeeding elec
tion. She came in from the Taylor summer
home in Jenkintown to register. She
will be married In tho fall to Charles
Willing, son of George W. Willing, of
Chestnut III11.
Mrs. Sophio Selden Rogers, of 17.14
Spruce street, became indignant when
n registrar at the polling place asked
her if she was n housekeeper
"I am a genealogist." she said. It
was tho registrar's turu to become in
dignant when Mrs. Rogers added. "l)o
you know what a genealogist is?"
He did.
"Iown With Vare"
"I nm n Republican, but down with
the Vnrcs," she went wn "I didn't
believe in suffrage for women but now
it has been grnnted them they should
exercise the privilege. The present Ad
ministration is bad, but the Vares are
worse."
One of tile candidates who registered
In the fifth division of the Eighth
"Ward, Drury street aboe Thirteenth,
was Mrs. Edward Robins, who is run
ning for school visitor
Mrs. Robins came from Media, where
she has been spending the summer, to
register. Sho Is prominent In civic af
fairs. A constant procession of women reg
istrants sought counsel of Mrs Flor
ence Still nnd Mrs. John Wunumaker.

of Philadelphia County, at the head-
Suartern of the organization in South

A fairly heavy registration In resi
dential nnd Independent wards. In the
early hours of today, the first of the
three registration days, encouraged
leaders of the primary fight against the
Vnres. Men and women appeared at
tho polling booths to register almost

averaging CO to 00 days duration are
vastly moro nrofitnblo for the hanks
than loans to farmers, which necessarily
must run tor tno crop period or n year.
More than that, the possibility of crop
failures has mitigated against rural
credits.
The kenyonMcFndden Bill proposes
to create two corporations, a rural
credit society with n central bank,
iorty-cigiit Htate uraiicncs nnd any
number of community fnrmcrs associa
tions, and n multiplo insurance league.
The rural credit society, with nn
initial capital of $25,000,000 to be sup
plied from the federal Treasury, but
ultimately paid back If the plan works
successfully, is designed to make short
time loans to fnrmcrs. The multiple
insurance society is designed to insure
the farmers' crops, thus milking it a
more solid basis of credit. The unique
feature of the scheme is tho proposal
to brine ono of the Inrsc life Insurance
companies in ns guarantor of the In-
surnnco society, wiucn would ue or
ganized witii local mutuals, similar to
the rural credit locals.

Something of the chnrncter of thl
accomplishment in n short period of
four months Is realized when it Is stated
that at least two of the measures men
tioned hove been before every session
of Congress for more than ten jenrs.
These are the packers and gruin exchange
bills. Time nnd time again In the post
these measures have passed one house
or the other, but nlways they have died
at the end of the hcsslons.
Harding Voted Against Them
There Is reason to believe thnt Pres
ident Hnrdlng came into office opposed
to both proposals. As a member of the
Senate he had voted ngnlnst them. But
as respects these bills, as In the ense
of the other ngrlculturnl proposnls, the
Administration has been forced to fall
info line.
And the activities of the farmer group
have in no sense been confined to nd
vocacy of legislation directly In the in
terest of agriculture. It has stood con
tinually and stands more than ever to
day as the great stumbling block of the
Administration in other lines of en
deavor. It was, for instance, the
farmer power, exerted in the Republi
can House caucus, which prevented the
repeal of the corporation excess protlts
tax as applied to incomes of the current
j ear.
The former Democratic Administra
tion hail favored repeal of this tax and
President Harding came into otfi
pledged to the same policy. Even the
farmers, it appears, are not enamored
of the corporation tax in its present
form, but they purpose to hang on to it
until they know exactly what rhe nib
Htltute for it is to he. When the
House enacted the tax bill it wns well
known that its production of revenue
would he Insufficient to meet the civ-
I crnmetifnl need and thnt further taxes
would be imposed by the Senate. The
fanners are preparing to insist that
the tax shall in no event be shifted
from the city to the farm, or from the
corporations to the conbutnem of the
country
Without nuetiou the most difficult
task which Chairman Penrose lias he
fore him is to steer a eour'-o between
the repeal of the excels -profits tax and
the lightening of the burden of business
which he regards us imperative, nnd
the insistence of the powerfully repre
(cnted farmers that thej shall in no
ecnt be compelled to assume an added
load nf governmental expense.
Senator Penrose has seen tills Nsue
clearly from the beginning and he has
lot no opportunity to play for co-operation
of the farmers. He personally
opposed the emergency tariff nt the
opening of Congicss last December, but
he permitted the bill to pass without
opposition, even going to the length of
lining up the Eastern Republicans In its
favor. He is plulnly piepnrcd to go
any length to satisfy the agricultural
ist's respecting the permanent tiiriiY law.
even if it menus granting the total of
the farmers' demands.
The reconvening of Congress will see
the "bloc" pressing for measures more
fnr reaching than nn thing m far
enacted. Conspicuous among these Is
tho Keinon-McFadden Rural Credit and
Multiple Insurnnce Bill, which has as
its purpose the tapping of the commer
cial credit of tho country in the interest
of the farmers.
Crops as Security
The present rural credit system is
confined exclusively to land loans. It
is designed to enable the tenuut farmer
to buy a farm of his own. The new
proposal is to form a government sup
ported agency to supply short time
credit to farmers, with their crops as
security.
The complaint of the farmers has
alwavs been that the bulk of the
Nation's cash has naturally gravitated
to the industrial regions for the reason
that industrial and commer iul loans

Cut Down Depreciation
Eliminate Expensive
Shut-Downs
1)0 This With Perfect Lubrication
PERFECT Lubrication involves something more
than good oil.
Good Oil assures perfect lubrication only as long as it
remains clean. Unless constantly circulated, oil in use
becomes very dirty.
Dirty Oil is the direct cause of rapid depreciation and
frequent shut-downs for repairs.
With a space of .003 of an inch between bearing surfaces,
there is no room for dirt.
A Bowser Circulating and Filtering System furnishes a con
stant supply of cool, clean oil to each bearing. The oil is used
once and is returned to the Filter. It automatically passes
through the Filter is freed from all water and sediment
and returns to the gravity tank ready to be used again.
Bowser Engineers can help YOU. Give them an opportunity.
