THIS RUNAWAY RUNAB0UT
A PUZZLE TO THE POLICE
Electric Automobile Moves Several
Blocks Apparently of Its
Own Volition.

This is a story of an electric automobile
belonging to Mrs. Ernest G. Walker, wife
Of newspaper correspondent. that mys-
teriously drove itself several blocks. Mrs.
Walker went shopping yesterday after
noon. Her last stop was at 18th and F
streets.
Mrs. Walker stepped down from the
machine, and. after taking the plug out.
went into a store. Fifteen minutes later
she emerged from the place. to find that
her machine was not where she had left
it, Five or six policemen doing traffic
duty on F street were called and told of
the disappearance of the machine. Then
Mrs. Walker starred home. A couple Of
blocks up F street she espied an automo-
bile that looked like hers and. moving
quietly up. to the machine, she recog-
nized her own license numbers on the
rear. Mrs. Walker looked in. hoping to
see the thief but no thief was there.
The police are at loss to explain how
the machine moved itself minus its plug.
1t is believed. however, that some one In
tended to steal the car. but after running
it a couple Of blocks decided that 1t was
dangerous business and abandoned the
plan

Despite the Handicap"

A remarkable tale by Octave Thanet
appears in our next Sunday Magazine.
Just to show what some people think
about it. one Of our editors said en-
phatically: That story ought to get the
first prize of twenty-five hundred dol
lars. We have had many of high quail
ity. but not single one that contains
the perfect technic and remarkable han
ding of a situation, Handicapped by pop
ular disapproval in. the beginning. that
practically every story writer shHns. And
vet she has made q superb story out OF
this difficult situation. which holds you
spellbound from beginning to end, and
without single improbabflity." This
Handicap the editor talks about is the
very basis of the story-human expert
ence after death. Really, Octave Thanei
has made almost a wonderful story.

A GOVERNMENT BY ACREAGE

In our school text books relating to
the government of the United States
it is always assumed that representa-
tion in congress is based upon popula-
tion and number of voters. It was
evidently the original intention of
our government founders that this
should be true, but it isn't. How
far we have strayed from the
representations according to- population
idea is shown by the following state
ment brought out in the course of a
recent reference to that question in
the senate at Washington.
The average number of voters re-
quired to elect a member of congress
in the state of New York is 49, 408.
The average number required in the
whole United States is 81, 1876. The
average number of voters for congress
man in the nine states Of Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, South Carolina. Texas
and Virginia is 5. 1855. In Mississippi
5000 elect a congressman in South
Carolina. 4, 341 in Georgia, 5,O72 and
in Arkansas 5, 1856.
Thirty eight states of the American
union have population of As 780, 297,
while ten states have a population of
As $50, 900; and yet these ten states
have twenty senators and the SO state
with practically the same population.
have 49, The four contiguous states
of Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyom-
ing, have population of 926, 785. The
four states of New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Ohio have a population
of q, 1874, 437.
''On popular basis of representa-
tion by the people these four states of
Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming
have four members of the house of re-
representatives., while on the same basis
the states Of New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Ohio have Us members of
the house of representatives. But in
the United States senate this 927, 900
Of population of these four states have
eight senators, while the q, 1874, 900
of the other four states have eight
senators.
1t is quite apparent that our govern
ment at Washington is coming to be

perhaps, rather than a government
based upon population or at all re-
lated to the number of voters. -Cadil.

grams. Your committee did their
best in selecting, and we feel that
we have given our patrons and friends
we'll balanced, and withal as goo d
lot of attractions as can be had for
the price, and we ask you again to

Wisconsin is the only state in the
union which has a law forbidding the
sale of corn syrup unless it is labeled
glucose. Corn syrup is made from
snelled corn. While corn syrup and
glucose are quite similar-in fact all
corn syrup is glucose, all glucose is
not corn syrup. Glucose is also made
from potatoes. from rice, and other
articles and is like the crystals that
form around the top edges of a cup of
home made jelly. Under the present
law many people think glucose is
some product made from glue and re-
fuse to buy it, For many years corn
syrup was sold in this state as such
and after the present law was enacted
in 1907 it is said the sales in Wiscon-
sin fell off 80 per cent An effort IS
being made to have the legislature
change the law and permit this pro
duct to be sold as. corn syrup. the same
as in other states, which would seem
right and just.

that the prosperous citizens each con
tribute one days income for the

and that those who have work lay of
