WILL BEGIN WORK
ON CAMPAIGN IDEAS
Various Matters Discussed by
Democrats on Return From
Seagirt.

Following the trip of the Wilson and
Marshall Democratic Association to Sea
girt yesterday, local democrats will be-
gin work today on several campaign ideas
which were discussed on the return trip
last night. One OF these is the civil serv-
ice proposition agitated in the main by
Fulton r. Gordon, who had a talk with
Gov. Wilson on the subject yesterday.
Mr.. Gordon told Gov. Wilson that the
local democrats are interested in the bet
terment of conditions in the civil service.
and suggested to the governor the ad-
visibility of Incorporating a reference to
that subject in his message to Congress,
in case of his election. The governor
promised to investigate the matter.
Mr.. Gordons idea, as he expressed il
yesterday. was to bring about reform
in the civil service which would provide
for more humane management and bet
ter regard for the merit system" One
feature of the proposed reform would be
the establishment of a court of appeals
for government clerks in the civil serv-
Ice. in which clerks could air their griev-
ances without fear Of censure from chiefs
Of bureaus

came within a few thousand Of the COR
rect number, and after careful figuring
and study ng Of the various contestants
work the supervisor of the campaign yes
terday set 1900 UD as the mark to be
reached during the present month.
Reasons for Prediction.
In making this calcula ton DIR. Murray
figures on the old contestants being re-
enforced by many new entrants and hard
err work on the part OF the experienced
fighters. 1t is known that the terrific on
slaught Of the past three months has re-
suited in short fly market for this sea-
son of the year.
Further than realizing that close to
II, 100000 flies is a great number. few
people appreciate what vast quantity
were destroyed last month.
The II, S73. 100 flies which We're killed in
July at the hands of The Star contestants
would fill eight barrels or almost thirty
bushels. When an average of almost a
bushel day of flies is being destroyed
it is no wonder that Washington is enjoy
ing a summer with less flies than ever
before in the memory of the oldest resi-
dents.
Washington is having this year an I'M
usually healthy summer, and it is reason
able to believe that The Star campaign
against the flies is one of the principal
causes of the good conditions.

FRIENDS IN FEATHERS.
How to Attract Nice Birds About Your
Place,

Place.
Some birds are on quite intimate
terms with the "children Of men,"
None are more so, perhaps. than the
wee nut brown wrens. No birds are
more interesting or may be more
easily watched. for these tiny crea-
lures need only the encouragement of
the right kind Of nesting boxes to take
up their abode ALMOST at ones very
door. For some years a pair of these
birds (the same wrens apparently re-
turning each spring. have nested in a
cigar box tied to one of the pillars of
my porch Regardless of the fact that
this porch is a veritable outdoor living
room from which some of the family
are seldom absent, the birds have car
ried on their housekeeping and fed
their wee babies entirely unmindful
of us.
The secret Of success in Turing wrens
is that the hole in the box provided is
small enough. The outline of q TWEEN
ty-five cent piece is just the right size
but as wrens raise two broods these
birds will often take possession of a
box put out late in June. Bluebirds.
martens and sparrows also nest in
houses provided for their use, but such
boxes must be placed some distance
from the home if they are to be occu.

3 MEN GET SHOCKS
OFF CHARGED LIMB
Street Commissioner Gem
Touched Burning Limb
and Fell to Ground.

Three men were shocked last even
Ing when they came into contact with
q fallen limb Of a large tree in front
of the High school building on North
Eighth street. The limb had been
burned from the tree by contact with
a high tension wire of the city light
plant.
D. c. Gem, street commissioner,
was the first victim. He arrived after
n telephone call reporting the condi-
Ition Of the limb, which blockaded the
.east side. He seized the limb and an
iron hitching post at the same time,
and was thrown to the ground. He
arose to sitting posture, gazed
around, and seeing DR.. Kinsey across
the street, called to the physician.
DIR. Kinsey also Investigated and re-
ceived slight shock.
"They have more policemen than
they have street commissioners, and
If the police want it removed, let 'em
try it," said Gem, as he struggled to
his feet. He left the scene after re-
porting the matter to the Light, Heat
and Power plant office and the City
Light plant office. He is suffering
from a stiff shoulder today.
A motorman of street car also
received a shock. He stopped his car
and climbing on top of it touched the
off linz iroh 0P ho cd
to the ground, but was not seriously
hurt.
The accident happened at $3.50 last
evening, and the sparks flying from
the tree attracted considerable atten-
tion Early this morning it was still
burning, but later employees of the
City Light plant removed the limb,
and repaired the wires.

How to Save a Carpet.

What every woman knows is how
many a handsome carpet is made to
take on a prematurely middle aged
look by ignorant and injudicious sweep
ing. An inexperienced maid will sweep
hither and thither, utterly regardless of
the pile Of the carpet and raising
clouds of dust during the process that
spell ruin to the furniture.
That carpet sweeper will pay for
itself many times over is easy to un-
derstand when one considers that this
process is dustless and that a carpet
treated in this way is more efficiently
cleansed, while at the same time less
stress is brought to bear on the fabric,
and therefore the life Of the carpet is
greatly heightened. When threads.
etc, become a tangled mass in tho
bristles of the roller brush and seem
impossible to remove use a wire hair.
brush Of the ten cent variety. After
removing the roller from the sweeper
vigorously brush out the tangles with
the hairbrush. 1t will be clean in less
than five minutes.

WATERING PLANTS.

ed-Thinqs to Avoid.

ed-Things to Avoid.
On first consideration 1t does not
seem possible that there can be much
to learn in the simple matter of gar
den watering, but such grave and dis
Rstrous mistakes can be made in this
direction that few hints should prove
useful to amateur horticulturists.
1t should be said at once that the
watering OF whole beds and borders
should be delayed for as long as posi-
BILE. moisture only being given artif-
cially to such subjects as must have a
fairly damp soil in which to prosper
and, of course, to small Seeding plants.
Overwhelming is frequently a cause Of
loss.
By keeping the surface well loosened
with the hoe. so that every drop of rain
sinks into the soil, the time when the
hose or water can become absolutely
necessary may be put off for several
days. But when the day arrives on
which watering is essential let it be q
Thorough soaking you give the plants.
A mere sprinkling of moisture then
does much more harm than good.
Water applied direct from the main
through hose or can Is not beneficial
to plants On the contrary. it frequently
does them injury.
II there is no storage Of rain water
available do not let cold tap water
touch the stems and leaves of plants.
Direct the stream on to the surface
round the stems or place some old, de-
cayed manure round the plants and
pour the water on to 1t.
In hot weather watering should be
done in the evening. unless there are
young plants which are liable to be at
tackled by slugs. Such plants it is adj
visable to moisten in the morning.
