the Geological Survey on the White

Cen. George Otis Smith, director OF
the survey. in a statement accompanying
the reports. declares that the survey
investigation proves conclusively the
contention Of the forest conservation
lists. He says that tine reports arc based
upon exact scientific data and figures
that cannot be controvertad.
The report has been flied with the
National Fores. Conservation Comnis-
sion. with the notice that it's findings
are in every way favorable to the pur-
chase of lands under the WeeYs' ma
tioral forest reservation law.
The question of whether or not forest
cover affects stream flow has been the
subject Of much controversy among the
scientists Of the day. and the conserva-

Women's Democratic
League Is Organized.

One apparent result of the recent
Dolly Madison breakfast-the harmony
feast of feminine Democracy-is the
newly organized Womcn's Democratic
League which met Wednesday morning
at the New Willard for the first time.
The object of the league as defined in
the constitution is ITO promote the
principles of Democracy and to assist
in the election of the regular nominees
of the Democratic party. THIS league
shall In no way use its influence In
behalf of any person or faction prior
to the nomination of the Democrat tic
candidates. Its organizers feel that
there is much to be done-in a woman )
way-toward the education of women in
the present campaign. and it is intend
ed to mark the upbuildng of the
strength of the Democratic women. At
the meeting Wednesday, arrangements
were made for the close of the Con-
be announced for the work of the
league.
The presidents daughter, who has
been at Bryn Mawr, has been greatly
missed from her accustomed place at
the center of social activities of the
younger set. True loyalty to her alma
mater, however, caused her to absent
herself from Washington during the
gayest week, Of the summer. to attend
the commencement exercises of the
class with which she would have grad
uated had not her social duties inter-
Vened
In the absence of her daughter, Mrs.
Taft went about but little in a social
way. The luncheon in her honor which
Mrs. White, wife of the Chief Justice,
gave at the Country Club Thursday.
marked her only appearance at any
formal function throughout the week.
The White House will remain open
until early in July, 1t is understood.
though the summer White House at
Beverly is even now ready for oCCu-
pancy. Mrs. Taft and her daughter
will remain in Washington until the
last of the month, when they are ex-
pected in Cincinnati for the marriage
of Mrs. Taft's niece. Miss Harriet An
derson and Hugh de Fritsch. of New
I Ork. going on from there to Beverly.
Miss Taft is to be one of her cousin S

WORK STARTED ON
ELECTRIC ROAD TO
VIRGINIA SUBURBS
Bluemont Branch of South
ern to Be Improved for
Commuter Traffic.

With the passing of the Bluemont
branch of the Southern railroad into the
hands of the Washington and Old Do
minion Railway Company, on July /, It
is expected that the line, or a large part
OF it, will be electrified.
Elaborate plans to that end have been
made by the Old Dominion line and al
though they have been delayed in some
instances by bad weather, yet rapid
work with the large force Of men that
is promised, should push the change to
a finish.
The construction work has been let to
one of the largest construction COM
panies In the country, and a large NUM-
Der of workmen already are at work,
with more awaiting orders as soon as
material arrives.
II is stated by the company that II II
is found impossible to electrify the en-
tire line by the list of next month, that
portion of 1t that is ready for such use
will be placed into commission, and the
steam trains used for the balance.
& The cutoff. saving seven miles, via
Torreyson and Cherrydale, is graded,
the bridges and culverts are construct
ed, and the ties are being placed. In this
way commuters will not be obliged to
come to Washington by way of Alex
andrta and the Union Station, but may
use the cut-off, leaving the Bluemont line
at Torreyson, and reaching the Old Do
minion Great Falls line at Cherrydale,
with a material saving of time, and
probably reduction in fare.
Z Hourly service is in contemplation. at
least from Herndon, Va, which Is the
