Previously the registration record for any one day had been (10. which shows how much work the registrar of voters and his assistants had to do in those lt two days. The scenes at the main office and the emergency registration bureaus during the closing day were spirited. Women thronged the bureaus to register at the last moment, but according to an esti mate not more than Ji.Oe women have tjuallned to vote In Kan Francisco at a.he (residential primary. blow to Rrajtaler. Hardly one-quarter of the newly en franchised cltisens of this city have Indicated their desire to make use of the ballot. Probably the proportion in the country districts will be larger, but it will be some days before com plete figures for the state are avail able. There were ll.eoe it-omen in the city who were quallned to vote at the time of the bond election. Since then It is estimated that K.OOd other women have r gist red. In virtually every Instance they declared their party preference. From the totals so far made it appears that 71 per cent of th women have declared their politics Republicans and It per cent as Democrats.

The Chines vote, which Is about 0t strong, will soon be swelled to very respectable proportions. The reason Is that a great many Chinese women are going to vote. This may seem surprising to those who do not know the down-to-date women of San Francisco's Chinatown, t to those who are acquainted with hat Interesting creature who shops la ur most interesting establishments. njoys all our amusements and has earned to adopt Occidental fashions her Oriental style of dress. It will not come aa a shock to learn that the Chinese women are going to vote. However, it la said the Chinese women are not anxious to vote. They will do so because the men of their families desire It. Sympathy fer Harveja. A great deal of sympathy Is felt for the misfortunes of the Downey Har vey.

One or two men they would like, have similar departments lu other state universities, and are holding them under favorable contracts. What wltb the fine agricultural farm, at Davis, be longing to the university, together with ote r accessories and the splendid op portunities there are In California for the study of agriculture, the regents think it Is high time for a fully equipped mao to be at tho head of so important m. department.

These cards en title the visitors to all club privileges, including admission to the grove. But a stop is to be put to this practice. An amendment to the by-laws has been proposed restricting admission to the grove to members of tho club and guests Invited by the sire of the jinks.

Sulphurro has been In constant use in my family ever since I first advised it. Several members were troubled with rheuma tism, eye Injuries or stomach trouble, - and in every case Suiptiurro ras given relief.- Now Sulphurro is used In place of many different kinds ot medians, as it seems to unite the good qualities of all beneficial medicines in one bottle. The relief is quicker and more lasting.
