Ring and
Mccarthy
Elected

Returns received from large
part Of the state indicate that John
Sparks for Governor and George A.
Bartlett for Congress, and most Of
the Democratic state ticket have
been elected by big majoritles.
The mining towns returned partic-
ularly large majorsies for the Dem
ocrats. Ii is reported that Gold
field and Tonopaa each gave
Sparks a majority of over 500.
Sparks is estimated TO have carried
every county in the state with the
exception of Ormsby, which he
lost by ii, and Douglas, which he
lost by e. 1t is possible that W.
6. Douglas for Secretary of State,
Jake Eggers for Controller, Orvis
Ring for Superintendent OF Public
Instruction, J. G. Mccarthy ion
State Printer, have been elected by
the Republicans.
A curious feature about the elec-
tion is the fact that the Republi-
cans have elected so many State
Senators. They have elected State
Senators in Douglai Ormsby, Ian
der, Eureka and possibly in sever
al other counties. This Is taken
as an indication that the people dc
not approve Francis &. Newlands
as u. S. Senator. II is also peliev-
ed that the next legislature will be
Republican.
The election passed off very
quietly all over Douglas County.
There was less 1button holing'
and less intimidation than ior
years past. The voters lad evil
IDENTIFY made up their minds and
they voted accordingly. Douglas
continues to be the banner Repub-
lican county. The Republican
state candidates ala carried the
county by big maiorities. With
the exception OF the two commits
sioners, the Republican county
nominees were all elected.
Maurice Mack received one of the
biggest votes, defeating Mr.. Hen
ningsen for State Senator by 80
votes. Tn. complete vote in the
county follows:

HAY MEASURES

The following rule for measuring
hay in the stack is taken from the
Silver State. Throw tape line
over the stack from the side; from
the ground across the stack To the
ground on the other side. This
will give the overcast. Then
measure the width. Deduct the
width from the overcast and divide
the remainder by two. This Will
give the square of the stack.
Multiply the width by the squa re
of the stack; this will give the
number OF cubic feet in each foot n
length in the stack. For example:
stack 30 feet long; overcast 30 feet;
width 16 feet; 30 minus 16 equals
Il; IA divided by 2 equals 7 feet;
Is multiplied by equals III feet;
ll2 multiplied by 30 equals 1860
cubic feet. This stack wonld con-
lain 1850 cubic feet. There are al
the way from $50 to 5l2 cubic feet
in a ton OF hay. This varies ON
account of fineness, age and solidl-
ty OF the hay.

somewhat feeble he was in his usual

when he sustained a shock of paralysis.
He was born in Bernardston, Mass,
March IL, 1919, and was one of a large
family of children of Jared ana Lucinda
(WrighD Fox and a grandson of William
Fox who settled in Bernardston in the
early colonial days. coming from East
bury. county of Hartford, colony of Con-
necticut. He came to Brattleboro in 1865,
entering the employ Of the Estey Organ
company and remaining in their service
nearly 80 years. He retired from active

Something You Didn't Know About Sub
marine Boats.

Talking with young naval officer yes
terday, l learned something about sub
marine boats that astonished me. He
had been down in one of the Holland
crafts several times and made light OF the
dangers, but he ridiculed the value OF
such vessels for warfare. Then ne told
me the strange inexplicable fact that
after the boat is entirely submerged the
compass ceases to point to the north. 1t
flies around any old way and cannot be re-
lied upon for steering. Even when the
water is clear and still, the man at the
lookout cannot see more than 20 feet in
front of the bow. Rough water on the
surface has the effect Of giving an opaque
ness to the sea underneath-the opposite
of theory. The approach of a submarine
can be detected by the masthead that
stands out Of the water The vessel rarely
descends more than 10 or 10 feet below
the surface. The general supposition that
the boat founders about in the mud is
erroneous. But the impossibility OF steer
ing by compass destroys the practicabiity
OF this weapon for actual warfare. In an
engagement, the submarine would be as
likely to torpedo friend as enemy. All
manner of strange currents exist under
the surface of the sea, and as they have
the boat wholly in their grasp, she might
be turned entirely round In a quarter
miles run. Many of the most expert men
In the navy are trying to divlse means to
overcome the effect of submersion upon
the compass.

A Trip to Labrador.

William r. Moody spoke in the Baptist
chapel Tuesday evening his recent
trip to Labrador, 1t being one of the
monthly practical talks" arranged by
the Young Peoples Union. In spite of the
storm a good number were present, and
Mr.. Moody's address was much enjoyed
He told of his trip on the ship Home
from Newfoundland to Battle Harbor, the
first fishing settlement in Labrador, where
he Joined DR.. Grenfell on the latter's little
hospital ship Strathcona. A trip down
the Labrador coast was described in an
easy matter-of-fact way that added much
to the story. The varied service of DR.
Grenfell was touched upon his reading
the lessons in a Church of England
chapel service. clad in Norfolk jacket,
sweater and rubber boots his work as
physician, surgeon and dentist; an almost
amusing experience as Justice of the
peace; and finally the reading of the
Episcopal funeral service over the body
of a fisherman who had died at the Indian
Harbor hospital, and the burial in a grave
half full of water,-a depressing scene
that called forth from DIR. Grenfell the
remark: ITS like old Labrador. 1t won't
even give a fellow a decent resting place"
In the recital of things seen along the
coast Mr. Moody made clear that Dr.
Grenfell does not discriminate between
the religious and secular, but that in his
philosophy all things have a religious
value. The corruptness of the New
foundland government and the condition
of practical serfdom in which the fisher
man finds himself were touched upon in
closing.

Mems Fashions,

Never before have mems fashions been
20 broad and so elastic. A man may ex-
press his individual taste with a latitude
tantalizing to fashion bound women and
still be within the limits of the we'll dress
ed. He may have his trousers loose meg
top they are called in true tailor parlance)
or close-fitting; he may have his coat
double breasted or single, his overcoat
short and straight or long and close
htted at the waist, and still be "in the
fashion" There are no longer rigid styles
that must be adhered to.
Art has entered more into this matter
of dress The man and the tailor he
tween them decide what particular style
and cut of coat most suits the man and
choose accordingly. The stout short man
reels no compuision to wear the full, baggy
suit because 1t happens to be worn a good
deal by the tall and slim; he chooses the
suit that will give length instead of
breadth to his appearance with no fear of
FEELING out Of the fashion.
Recognizing the growing tendency Of
the well dressed man to have his clothes
harmonic with himself, the foremost
tailors endeavor all the time to learn what
their brother tailors are making and con-
stantly try to get away from it as far as
possible. They are striving continually
after the individual touch. OF course.
along certain broad lines there are several
styles that prevail, prevail frequently in
spite OF and not because of the tailor.

fashions that he did not create and does

There are several different leading styles
