BOTH TAFT and ROOSEEELT
CLAIM To BE In THE LEAD
WITH Delegates.
Former Leads in Uncontested Dele
gates-If Taft Gains Four-fifths of
Contested Delegates 1t Will Give Him
Control of Convention-More Than
225 Contests Filed.

Chicago.-President Taft must win
four-ffths of the contested delegates if
he is to get the nomination of the re-
publican convention This is conceded
by one of the Taft lieutenants now in
Chicago. The Roosevelt representa-
tives grant nothing of the sort, holding
that the force of popular will already
insures Taft IS defeat.
While refusing to permit the use of
his name, the Taft leader made an
estimate of the strength of the candi-
dates. The Taft man s figures give
Colonel Roosevelt AIS uncontested dele
gates, Mr. Taft 1913, Senator La Fol
lette SO and Senator Cummins TO- He
figures the contested seats at 222 and
omits from his calculations the % dele
gates yet to be selected.
Taft Forces Figure Closely.
This is the first concession from
the Taft campaign that Roosevelt is
leading in uncontested delegates. II
likewise is regarded by politicians as
the first admission that the president Is
denomination depends upon steam
roller tactics by the national commit
tee. Should Mr.. Taft gain four-ffth:
of the contested delegates, as his ad
herents predict, it would give him an
additional 176 votes in the convention
or a total of $40, only nine more thar
enough to nominate. The estimate
shows the Taft forces are figuring
closely.
Colonel Harry S. New, chairman o.
the subcommittee of the nationa
committee, and strong Taft partisan
was asked to comment on the esti
mates from the Taft man.

broad band of silk or velvet ribbon

Lastly, there is the hat of softest felt
with brim very narrow all around,

boldly against a high rounding crown
that is banded with an inch-wide
length of corded ribbon going twice
around and ending with a true lovers

an Aid to Housewives

Commercial industries were long
ago studied by scientific methods.
since it was found that gaining knOwl-
edge by experience was much more
costly than gaining it by systematic
study. 1t is only lately that we have
come to realize that it is equally
profitable to study the housekeepers
problems.
Fifty years ago few such ques-
lions had been taken to the labora-
tory and few schools gave instruction
in such subjects. Today very many
men and women of scientific training
have taken the home problem to the
laboratory and are finding ways OF
helping the housekeeper to solve her
problems satisfactorily.
The department of agriculture has
studied many questions which relate
to the use of agricultural products on
the farm and in the home, but per
haps none OF them has a closer re
lation to the household than the nu-
triton investigations Of the Office of
experiment stations, which have to do
with the use Of agricultural products

Scientists Believe There Is Reason for Bugs

people OF Vienna do not like the idea
of giving any inducements to Outsid-
ers to bring bedbugs near their vii
lage.
Some Of Uncle Sans scientists be-
HeYe there is a reason for bedbugs
and if they manage to substantiate
this theory they intend to put them
to work at a more gratuitoUs task
than that upon which they are gener-
ally engaged.
There is a theory that most self
respecting species of bugs will have
no dealings with bedbugs-in fact.
they will not live in the same neigh
borhood.
This theory is based upon two as
sumptions. The first is that bedbugs
are scrappers and beat up and kill
anything else that happens to cross
their way in bugdom. This theory 1s
disputed by another school of bug
ology. which holds that bedbugs do
not prey upon other species, but that
their general characteristics are so
dispIeasing that other bugs eschew
them altogether.
It is generally admitted that they
are not accepted in any circle Of bug
| society.
| Now the department of agriculture
| scientists have about decided which
bugs do the most damage to fruit
! trees These experiments have been
| carried on at the Lewis farms for
many months. The most deadly bugs
as far as fruit is concerned, have been
segregated in boxes and bottles.
The bedbugs are to be introduced
| to these select fruit killers and then
the scientists are going to see what
happens.
If the bedbugs carry on the hon
ors Uncle Sam may try to induce
them to leave their present abodes fol
fruit orchards.
