MAKES
A GREAT STIR.
Admitted That The Progress
i've Republicans Are a
Powerful Element
STAND-PATTERS AGITATED
BY NEW MOVEMENT

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Jan. pa re-
straint from comment for publication
until they are able to figure out
definitely what it means to the future
of President Taft, characterized the
attitude today OF stand-pat and ad-
ministration leaders toward the new
Progressive Republican League.
Several strong hackers OF Taft said
they we're inclined to look upon the
league as a movement designed prim-
arily to oppose Taft's nomination next
year, but they we're anxious to with
hold Judgment on account of tho as
sertion by the organizers of the
league that It had no definite purpose
affecting the personal fortunes Of any
man.
Powerful Element.
The new league is the general topic
OF political conversation and II was
seriously talked over by the Cabinet.
That It is a powerful element in the
rapidly developing political situation,
is admitted on all sides Few. out
side it's members are willing TO ac-
cept, unreservedly, the statement that
it is not designed to affect the polit-
ical fortunes OF any man or group ot
men.
The announcement has set all the
old-line political sharps figuring and
the answers are so confusing that
there is no concensus of opinion. The
stand-patters admitted today that
they were refraining from comment,

ure out whether the Administrations
policy will be to attempt 70 make
terms with the league or to start on
a 'reading-out-of-the program.
Suspect Hidden Purpose.
The regulars have been surprised
so often by the coups and strategy on
the part of the progressives that many
OF them expect some hidden pur-
pose," to crop out within a few days
The members OF the league were
greatly encouraged today over reports
/ of it's reception In all parts Of ths
country. They we're content witf
their announcement and declared thai
they we're out purely for a fight fol
the establishment Of popular govern
ment through the Republican party.
Many persons here look upon tn
league as an organization formed q
nominate Senator LaFollette for tn
Presidency and predict open warfare
between progressives with LaFol
lettte, against the conservatives, witt
Taft. for control OF the Republican
party. II is suggested that Senator
Cummins. avowed insurgent. who
however, has declared for party reg
ularity, is being figured on as a pos
sible compromise candidate"
In general the progressive leagu'
announcement has set the nationa
political pot boiling over at a furious
rate, and all sorts of visions are seel

KITCHEN TABLE COVER.


An up-to-date housekeeper has. the
top of her kitchen table covered with
zinc, which is brought over the edges
and tackled in place underneath. This
table top is very easy to keep clean,
for when 1t is washed with hot water
and soap and wiped dry or secured
with a little sand soap, it is almost as
bright looking as silver. Hot pots and
pans set upon the zinc do it no harm,
Il if grease OR anything is spilled
all she has to do is to wipe it UP
with the dishcloth.
When baking day comes, the table
top is thoroughly washed and dried
and serves as an excellent bread and
pie board-one that there is no danger
Of having the dough stick fast to, and
one that can be quickly and easily
cleaned.
Meats, vegetables and fruits can be
chopped on the zinc top without injury
to either, and when covered with a
thick blanket pad and ironing sheet II
makes an ironing table that is unsur-
passed.

epce he was almost fully ~feathered and
making little flights under the careful
supervision Of his c~ircling mother. On
his eighteenth day he was of age! It
was something marvellous, but such Is
the fortune and the law of night
hawks.
He was a remarkable bird now, of
an appearance which was as unique
but far more graceful h that of his
silently fitting cousin, the whippoor-
will OF the bushes and the night. With
his forked tail, he was a full ten inches
long, and his thin-bladed outspread
wings were more than twice that
length. He was trim in every contour,
and his tiny bill n wide, capacious
mouth but gave a not unpleasing gro>
tesquerie to his expression, He was
beautifully oolored. His plumage was
an intimate blending of black. brown
! and tawny shades, like d~ark-veined
marble. His great eyes, singular hue in
a bird, were of the deepest blue and
gentle in expression as those of the
wild dove.
But looks are a little thing. 1t was
his great gift of flight which made of
Swoop a wonder. Upon powerful wing,
as soon as twilight fell, he would hurtle
up into and across and through the
sky. ~coursing for food there and giving
such exhibitions as only his kind might
| offer.

TO USE OLD 0

WORKOUT brooms can be utilized in
various ways. For a floor polisher, cut
the straws down halfway and cover
with a piece of felt or an old piece of
carpet. Sweep the hard wood floors
with this and use 1t as a polisher after
wax has been applied. An old broom
covered with a soft cloth makes a
handy brush to clean walls and cell
ings.
Cut the handle off short. leaving
about six inches of II. and cut the
broom straws down until they are even
across the bottom, and you will have
a handy hearth brush.
The usefulness of a broom can be
prolonged many days by keeping the
broken ends of straw clipped off ven
across the bottom. You will also find
that if you give your brooms an occa-
sional bath In warm suds and rinse
them with cold water they will keep
fresh and new looking a long time.
Never allow brooms to stand on the
straw end. Eelther hang theIl up or
stand them in the corner with the han
die resting on the floor.

CARE OF WOODWORK.

Highly polished furniture and wood
work, mahogany especially, require at
teption. The slightest dampness causes
this beautiful wood to become smoky
and gray looking. This condition Will
entirely disappear if rubbed occasion
ally with olive oil, taking care to r1lr
the furniture until the oil entirely dis
appears, then polish with a soft cloth,
Another splendid polish is made OF
beeswax and tu~rpentine. A polish made
of equal parts of vinegar, linseed oil
and turpentine is most effective. Boi-
the oil and add the turpentine and vim
egar while 1t is warm. A spot of ink
may be removed from furniture by
adding a few drops of spirits of inter
to a ~teaspoonful of water. Put a droI
on the ink stain, but do not allow 1T to
remain; 1t will turn the wood white
1t must be rubbed dry instantly with q

Calling Cards Etiquette.
| NV Dear Miss Doom

MY Lear MISS Doou'
VIII you kindly inform me what is
proper in this matter? My daughter is
engaged. Her f1ance's mother and friend
Gladly friend who lives with them) called
on me shortly after the engagement, leav-
ing cards for the older son and daugh-
ter. AS the father is not living, I am at
a loss to know what to do when I return
it. Must I leave my husbands card? II
so. how many cards in all must we leave?
I trust that you will be able to help me
out. Thanking you in advance, / am,
A. HIGGINS.
A card represents it's owner and
means a visit or some courtesy, and
women do not call on men or send
cards to them. Therefore, their cards
are for the women of a household,
their husbands cards for the men. and
one for each of the women. Leave
one of your own and your daughters
cards for each lady in the household,
one of your husbands and your sons
for each member of the family.

But once was Swoop in a sore strait.

September was very near nov and
there arose in the breast of Swoop a
feeling which he would not under

in hts flights. as We're all the night
hawks he encountered in the air. Then
came an afternoon when. flying early
and with but vague intent. he saw

THE CARE OF O O

One housekeeper has declared that
hardwood floors require as much care
as a baby. Although we doubt the
statement, 1t is a well-known fact
that if floors are not properly cared
for they soon lose their beauty.
Attention should be given them sys-
tematically. Every day they should
be brushed over with a broom covered
with a flannel cloth made into a bag,
with a drawstring in the top.
Once a week at least. twice if you
can. the floors should be oiled. using
linseed oil and applying it with a
cheesecloth rag to prevent lint from
spreading.
Deeply stained or vanished floors
should be wiped lightly and frequently
with a solution of milk and water.
Polish with q dry cloth.
