ELECTORAL COLLEGE
MEETS TO CONFER
DEGREE ON WILSON
Lucky Thirteen" Again Is Play
ing a Part in Real Presi-
{ dental Election.

Gov. Woodrow Wilson gets MS high
est collegiate honors today-the luckiest
of lucky ''thirteensn marking his career.
A diploma marked Elected President"
will be the college honors conferred.
The electoral college will do the con-
ferring.
Today is set by law for the really and
truly election of Wilson as President.
Presidential electors, chosen at the No
vember election, are meeting in every
one of the forty-eight state capitals to-
day. They are casting their votes for
President and Vice President-they are
the only persons who actually vote
for" Wilson, Roosevelt and Taft.
Today's vote is, however, perfunctory.
The electors register. as they were
pledged on the November ticket, the
choice of the people for the nation s
chief and substitute" eXecutive-Wil-
son and Marshall. The result has long
been known. because of the inviolable
pledges of the electors to vote as they
are told.
Today the electors prepare their RE-
turns" to- forward here to the Presi-
dent pro tenn of the Senate. These re
turns" will be sent, one set by mail and
one set by a special messenger named
by the electors of each State. The re-
turns will be canvassed February l.
In joint session of the Senate and
House, when Wilson will be formally
proclaimed President.

in every sense Of the word. Thirty-six years
ago. when he first started in the business.
he drove his own wagon. He understands
cows from A to T. and knows what food
they need at every season of the year He
makes 1t point to see that the cows re7
ceive the proper food and care on the farms
and that the barns whence his milk comes
are kept as clean and sanitary as possible.
There is no department of the National
Dairy that Is not subject to inspection by
the officials Of the health department. OF
course, the analysis of the milk Is the most
important, but the curiosity Of the inspector
is not satisfied with this alone. The in
spector, who is apt to drop IN unexpectedly
at any minute, examines the floors, walls,
spection he even uses his nose. II he de-
tects any odor he investigates the cause
of II. In the case of the National Dairy
the official scores of the Health Depart
ment show every department to be in ex-
cellent condition.
The fly. which holds the worlds record

port of the Health Department verifies this
statement. Every door and window is
screened.

and has plenty of windows. Investigations
at various times have proven that II always
is kept clean. and this cleanliness which
greets the person at the entrance of the
establishment reigns throughout the entire
plant
Another point made by the dairy Is that
its milk is not only clean and free from
germs. but that il is up to the standard
regarding the proportion of its various prop
critics. Before the milk Is started on its
course through the various processes CT

Each of the three compartments Is di-

In other words the bottles get a double dose
of each treatment. When the bottles leave
the washer and sterizer they pass over

of the machine. He can quickly see that
all of the bottles belong to the National
Dairy and make sure that none of them is

Two of the machines were OF the gaso-
lene type. while the third was an elec-
trio. William Bent, driver, was
cranking one of the gssolene machines
when back fire. from the motor caused
an explosion which ignited the gasolene.
Bent was slightly burned about the
hands and face. but declined to go to a
hospital. s.
The blaze spread So rapidly that be-
fore Bent could get out Of the building
the machine was enveloped In flames.
Another employe who was cranking the
engine of the other gasolene automobile
endeavored to get the truck out Of the
burning building. but the fire got SO
hot he had to give up the task.
Several companies responded to an
alarm from the box at Eighteenth and
ID streets, but the gasolene and oils
had fed the flames so rapidly that all
three machines were destroyed before
the fire was extinguished. The garage,
a frame structure. was badly damaged.

the dairy, but every effort also is made to
have the milk pure when IL arrives at the
dairy from the farms AS fast as the milk
in the ten-gallon can is poured into the

the cans are washed and sterilized. The
treatment given the cans is as heroic as
that received by the bottles. They are first
subjected to stream OF hot soda-water
solution then scrubbed inside and out, thor
oughly rinsed, then sterilized by live steam

of the National Dairy, is great believer

HYATTSVILLE, Nd, Jan. 13.-A great
many persons in this town are much
wrought up over stories in some of the
papers of Washington and Baltimore in

drafted by the State Department and
which will be forwarded to the Eng

she has taken with reference to giving
coastwise traffic free tolls. but will give
Great Britain assurance that the Unit

ton and that steps toward actual set
tlement cannot be taken before the case

Before the close of the present Ad'

OF providing funds for the fortincation
of Guantanamo Bay.
The near approach of the time when
the Panama Canal will be opened has
directed attention to the necessity OF
beginning to make Guantanamo Bay a
strong base, to be compared with Pana-
ma and Pearl Harbor. Congress has
been liberal with Pearl harbor, but has
spent very little On Guantanamo.
Naval Officers hold that Guantanamo
is as important in the scheme OF nation

that reason are anxious that Congress

detectives about the home to ward on
insistent newspapermen. and photogra-
piers, and curious citizens.
The report annoyed Mrs. Cleveland,

truth In the story, and then she remark.

the day would be lucky.
