Ball Seasons Poor Start.

A Boston newspaper remarked the
other day: "This has been by all odds
the worst season thus far ever known
for major league baseball in the way of
weather conditions. The clubs will,
however, make UP much of their finun-
cial losses by double headers later on.
And the most distasteful condition
known to the player is playing double
headers" Wrong as to first statement

Former United States Senator D. Caf-

on the part of the senator was taken
after he had tailed to draw the lieutenant

ohone poles and sidewalks, and across the

LEAVE WAKEFIELD FOR SMITH
COUNTY DEMO
Gratis RIGHT ABOUT FACE.
General Scramble to Get Into the
Band Wagon, Leaving Only
Corporal's Guard.

Special Dispatch to The Star
ROCKVILLE, Md, November 2.-1t was
definitely learned here this afternoon that
the leaders of the democratic organization
forces in Montgomery county have de-
cided to support former Gov. John Walter
Smith for United States senator, and nave
directed the faithful to hustle for him at
TUESDAYS senatorial primary election.
AS the members of what is known as
the Old Guard are for him almost to
man. 1t is believed to be certain 'nat ne
will carry this county by an overWheim-
ing vote, which means that ne VIII re-
ceive the votes of the county's representa-
tives in the Legislature, provided OF COURSE
the democratic legislative candidates are
successful next Tuesday.
Nearly all Of the leaders OF the no"
dominant faction of the party in the
country are former ardent supporters OF
Gov. Warfeld, and 1t was generaiis
thought that they would be with MN III
his senatorial aspirations. but the ehtlre
outfit has scrambled into the Smlth pane
wagon. leaving the governor with hardly
more than a corporars guard TO look
after his senatorial interest.
Eye for the Future.
The change of heart on the part Of the
governors friends is thought to have
been due largely to a belief that Mr.
Smith is certain to carry the state for
United States senator and that, as ne
will be closer to Judge Crothers should
that gentleman become governor than
probably any man in the state. they have
everything to gain and nothing to lose by
advocating the cause of the Worcester
county candidate.
II is also thought that in lining up
With the Smith people the organization
leaders were Influenced by the belief that
it would help. and possibly save from de-
feat, the democratic candidates for the
legislature at least three of whom belong
to the faction now in control Of party
affairs in the county, their idea being
that II 1t was thought that Gov. Warfield
stood any chance of carrying the county
and being elected senator many of his
democratic enemies would vote against the
legislative p nominees.

Business Motors in Town.

This weeks issue of Automobile Topics
contains a discussion of The Busin ess
Motor Wagon In the National Capital
1t is of sufficient interest for reproduc-
ton in part as follows:
washington. D. C. is about as easy a
place on motor cars as could well b.
imagined. There are few grades of any
size in the city limts-none that any
motor car, business or pleasure, should
find any difficulty in negotiating. TIL
streets are wide, universally paved with
asphalt. and the roads leading to the sub
urbs are always good 1t would be natu-
raj, then, to find Washington overrun
with business motor wagons, but such is
not the case 1t is very doubtful how
ever If there are hundred buslnc sS Wag-
ons all told in the city, and this is 1nclud-
ing the fifty used by the two express COM
panies.
Adams Express Company has twenty
some electric wagons built by the Lans-
den Company of Newark, N. j. The
wagons carry a ton and weigh ton and a
half. Under full load they travel fifteen
to eighteen miles per hour on the level
More electrics are in use here than
horse wagons and the company regards
the innovation as highly satisfactory. Th
local agent diSiikes being quoted and
would give no very definite hgures, but
estimated the work done by the electrlcS
as at least ono-third more than that done
Firestone solid tires are used here, as, IN
deed, on almost all the heavy drayag
ears in the National capital. The FIRE
stone seem to stand up well under the Sc
we're usage given them on the Adams eX-
press wagons, the average day run OF
which is thirty-five miles.
The United States Express Company
has about the same number of cars as
the Adams The powers that be in TINS

otherwise little judicious questioning g

Vehicle Equipment Company cars and
have capacity of half a ton and two
tons, the two-ton dray being used for fur
nture and other large package work.
Firestone solid tires and Exide batteries,
with tops for merchandise protection, arr
the equipment. The concern IT CARDS the
electrics as essential TO up-to-daie deliv-
cry, but does not think there is much saw
ing on the ordinary route on account of
the time lost in coming to a stop and
starting again. With the horse wagon tha
assistant is up the steps of the house
and has delivered the package by the time
the horse stops, and the wagon IS una !
way before he jumps in. This the com
pany says is not feasible with the elec-
trtc and its better speed on tha road Is
lost by the lack of speed in making s:ops

few stops. the superiority of the electric
over the horse for speed is admitted

versally condemned cigarette smoking be-
cause Of the injurious effects of the inha-
lation of the fumes from the burning pa
per, as the paper absorbs the oil of the
tobacco during the burning of the cigar
cite and volatilizes this Oil in the burning
Of the paper. SO that each inhalation
draws in a portion of this toxic vapor.
BY use Of this invention the main OBJ
lection to cigarettes from hygienic
standpoint is overcome. In addition to
this advantage the cigarette paper will
absorb a large part of the oil of tobacco
decomposed in the burning. and as this
wrapper is not consumed all injurious ef-
fects OF the oil of tobacco are avoided
This device Is also of great medicinal
value. as by its use cubebs and other
drugs may be smoked and inhaled with
the assurance that only the fumes of the
pure drug will come in contact with the
delicate tissues of the throat lungs, nose.
etc. and will therefore prove great
boon to those afflicted with throat and
bronchial troubles. The evils heretofore
existing in cigarette smoking have be-
come SO universally recognized that the
legislatures of five states have absolutely
prohibited the sale of cigarettes. and there
is no doubt that all the states will even

cigarette. As no other form of tobacco

The Anti-Toxic Cigarette.

The patent office recently issued a pat
ent for remarkable invention which will
be a great boon to cigarette smokers.
This invention is a smoking device which
enables a smoker to smoke with all the
fascinating characteristics of the ordi-
nary paper cigarette without its injurious
effects. The remarkable feature of the
invention is the fact that no portion what
ever of the paper is consumed in the
smoking. Medical authorities have uni
