MOBILE WOMEN PREPARE TO VOTE, 1920

Registration May Reach 1500 Before It Closes Tonight

Mobile, AL, September 1 - Mobile women again invaded the office of County Registrar Hinson today in such numbers that he was compelled to add several assistants to register their names and addresses. The women are not compelled to give their exact age, but they must swear they are more than 21. The registration closes Thursday night, and it is is expected that 1500 will have been made qualified voters.
