ready knew how they were going to
vote. and great relief also to some who
were still uncertain. 1 am sure it is a
good thing for the democracy"
Senator Reed also expressed his de-
light over the outcome. The democrats
who signed the minority report-Senators
Pomerene, Hollis, Shafroth and Lee-said
that their report spoke for them.
Senator Lewis of Illinois. who cham
pioned the cause of Mr.. Jones, declared
that had the President kept his name
before the Senate Mr.. Jones would have
been confirmed.
May Also Withdraw Warburg.
President Wilson has decided to make
one more effort to smooth out the diff
ferences between the Senate and Paul NJ.
Warburg, his nominee for the federal re-
serve board, and If he finds this impos-
sible he will withdraw the nomination. as
he withdrew that of Thomas d. Jones
yesterday. He has been informed by
Senate leaders that Mr.. Warburg's nomi-
nation can be confirmed if he will appear
before the banking and currency commit
tee.
The President, 1t became known today,
will wait until he finds what Mr.. War
burg will do before choosing a successor
to Mr. Jones. but Is determined to settle
both cases without further delay. He is
anxious about Mr.. Warburg, because II
the latter's name is Withdrawn only one
banker will be left on the board. and the
law requires that two members be bank
ers.
Mr.. Wilson fears that he will have
difficulty now in getting the kind of men
he wants on the board to accept nomina-
tions. 1t was said today by those in
his confidence that men with business
connections are liable to balk at the
prospect of being Quizzed by the Sem
ate committee.
May Be a Republican.
The successor to Mr.. Jones, 1t was un-
derstood today, will be picked from the
Chicago district, and probably will be
republican. Senator ]. H. Lewis is
urging I. NJ. Fenton. George E. Rob-
erts is also being supported.
White House officials said today that
speeches in the Senate against Mr..
Jones had nothing to do with the with
drawal of his nomination. They de-
clared that Mr.. Wilson had already
drawn up in shorthand his letter ac-
cepting Mr.. Jones' withdrawal, and
that no change in this draft was made
after the attack on Mr.. Jones began
in the Senate.
The President wrote his reply 1t was
said, while seated on bench under the
trees in the grounds south of the White
House. and at the time took nobody
into his confidence.

"Your action in requesting that your
name be withdrawn displays your usual
sensitive regard for considerations other
than your own personal interest and
sincerely as I regret it, I cannot but
honor you for the action you have taken.
1 have no right to ask, much less to
urge that you continue to allow your
self to be made the foot ball of the sort
of contest which has sprung up over
this nomination. 1t is a matter Of
genuine sorrow to me that a man like
you should be excluded from the public
service upon a great occasion. But
neither Of US is responsible for these
extraordinary circumstances. We must
both accept them. 1 cannot ask you to
undergo more than you have undergone.

tendency to draw or slip on the table.
and If you would greatly obYiate the
difhculty OF cutting such goods, first
cover the table with a felt or heavy
cloth.
In renovating feather pillows, first
open one corner of the ticking and
pour boiling water in. This renders
the feathers kind OF pulpy, wet mass,
which can be easily handled. Have
ready some soapy water and take the
feathers out and thoroughly wash
them In this, using more soap If nec-
essary. Then thoroughly rinse them
In several waters and put back into
the washed cover and hang 1t out in
the hot sun.
With long, clean stick you can
turn them occasionally through the
opened corner. AS the suns heat
dries the feathers they will swell to
I'LL the cover and wonderfully light
and fluffy and perfectly clean without
being scattered at all, which inva-
r1abiy happens when they are handled

A neat and very satisfactory way to
keep patterns Is to file them away In
25-cent letter file. Kept this way

torn when the housewife needs them,

mystifying how the different poses can
be secured of the same individual

shows how this may be effected.
There are two special mirrors with

feet high and three feet wide. placed at

being formed by the edges of the glass

Prunes are frequently ordered by

at the plain stewed dish, try prune
jelly. Wash half pound of prunes
and soak them overnight in cold wa.

stove In an agate pan, cover with half
q cup Of water and bring to the boiling

quarter of box of gelatin In half a
cup of cold water. When 1t is dis.
solved add 1t, with quarter of cup
OF sugar, to the prunes. Now press
the mixture through a colander into a

are the sending and receiving OF mes

The spsed Of the train on q straight.
away run has not affected the mes.

when the train suddenly shoots around
a curve or enters a tunnel while O

continuity Of the message is broken as
when q disconnection occurs in the

The n1eSsage is picked up again as
Soon as the train has rounded the

the distance IN curves and tunnels Ia

example, Mr.. Foley wants the wireless

railroad uses that at no time will the

city where wireless service communi.

slight modification Of the aerial ad.
