Democrats After Losing First
SkirmiSh Round Up Mem

Republicans Gather Every
Available Member in Order
to Put Up Stiff Fight
Against Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. - After
losing the first skirmish in the reve-
nue. fight, the democrats this after
noon regained supremacy in the
house by the slender margin Of 16
votes. BY a vote Of 20S TO 1872 the
democrats put through a preliminary
motion the first step toward limiting
debate on the administration resolu-
ton extending the war revenue tax.
On a rising vote the republicans
had won on the same proposition by
164 10 173, but a record vote brought
the missing democrats in and the
roll call resulted in the democrats
having the control

Revenue Bill Is Up.
The first administration measure
designed to patch up the depleted
federal treasury was started on its
legislative way today. Majority
Leader Kitchen called up In the
house the resolution continuing for
one year the war revenue bill with
it's income Of about 100000 a
month.
Both democrats and republicans
were on hand in large numbers for
the first real legislative struggle OF
the present congress. The demo-
Gratis faced the fight fully realizing
that a few defections from their
ranks would throw the balance of
power to the minority. The repub-
licans, with the party whip and nu-
merous assistant whips busy, had
gathered every available man to the
chamber.
Chairman Kitchin, Of the ways
and means committee, was in charge
OF the measure. The republicans
were led by Rep. Fordney Of Mich
igan. ranking minority member OF
the committee, aided and abetted by
Minority Leader Mann.

WHITE HOUSE REFUSES
LIST OF FAMILY GUESTS
President Considers His Mar
riage Purely and Simply
a Personal Affair-Will
be Unattended.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-With
the time for the wedding of Pres't
Wilson and Mrs. Norman Gait only
as hours off, Washington society was
still completely in the dark today
concerning the arrangements. All
inquiries at the white house re-
ceived the uniform answer that the
president considered his marriage
purely and simply a personal affair
and that he had decided that none of
the facts concerning it were 10 be
made public.
1t is understood that o'clock on
Saturday night has been the hour
fixed for the performing of the cere-
mony at the home Of Mrs. Calf. Both
the bride and bridegroom will be
unattended. according to today's ru-
mors, which, OF course, could not be
verified. But whether the newly
welded pair will leave the city after
the ceremony or not is known only
to two persons, the president and his
bride-to-be.
Up TO the present time no ar
rangements have been made for
either a private car or a special train
to carry the couple away from Wash
ington.
May Take Auto Trip.
Indications today were that If a
wedding trip is undertaken it will be
made by automobile and that a point
in Virginia or Maryland nearby will
be selected. 1t had been supposed
that the yacht MayfiOwer would be
| chosen as the vehicle 20 avoid the
crowds and extensive renovation was
| made on it by the naval authorities.
However. today it was said that the
| officers Of the converted yacht had
been told that they would not be
needed, at least Saturday.
The present critical state OF the
relations with Austria and the gen.
eral European situation was expect
ed TO prevent the president going
far from Washington In fact there
were many persons who believed
that there would be no wedding trip
but that the president and his bride
would go 10 the white house and re-
main in seclusion there for a short
time
A very few officials professed to
believe that the couple might go 10
Williamstown, Mass. where the
presidents daughter, Mrs. Sayre, re-
sides.
Receives No Callers.
Information even as to the list of
family guests who will witness the
wedding was refused at the white
house, while Mrs. Gait positively de-
clined to receive any callers or to
answer any questions. To reach her
by telephone, it is now necessary TO
call up the white house switchboard,
thus permitting a censorship on in
coming calls.
Washington society was distinctly
miffed today over the situation.
While il had been expected that
the guest list would be limited there
had been a belief that certain init
mate details such as the style and
the material Of the wedding gown
and the like would be made public.
But at the request Of the president,
Mrs. Gait has taken only Mrs Nc
Adoo, Miss Margaret Wilson, Miss
Bones, and one or two Of her closest
relatives into her confidence and
shown them her rousseau. Naturally
they have been pledged not to talk
about what they saw.

Whether we eat to live Or live to
eat. there is no getting away from the
fact that each one of Us consumes an
enormous quantity of food. Have you
any idea how much? II not, the fol-
lowing figures probably will staFtls
you. A scientist with love for stats
tics has investigated the whole ques-
, ton; and, according to this authority,
the average old gentleman, during the
process of attaining his three score
years and ten. disposes OF something
like fifty-four tons of solid food and
.hsty-thrsse tons of liquid. He will have
eaten 12,OGH eggs, 400 pounds Of
, cheese, about four tons Of fish. and,
could it have been Su baked at once,
q loaf Of bread equal in stze to All ordl-
mary family poteL But think OF the
vegetables deyogred! Our scientist
says train three miles long would be
required to bring a lifeis supply to the
average man; though in this same
ttrain it might also be possible To carry
ihis 100000 cigarettes, his halfton OF
tobacco, his 10000 pounds of sugar

In order to keep up with the in.
creased demand, due to the war the
domestic toy manufacturers will add
to their production facilities during the
coming year. 1t seems to be the gen.
eral belief that the business coming
from the necessary substitution of do
mestic for foreign toys will, in large
part, remain here, even after the close
of the war. This is looked for as a
result of the wider understanding on
the part of buyers of what this coun.
try can supply. Formerly the buyers
were accustomed to pay a flying visit
to this market and embark as soon as
possible for the other side, where the
bulk of their purchases were placed
Now, even though trip abroad is to

MAKE WAY FOR LIVE. STOCK.

The live stock industry has suffered
TWO great calamities in the last two
years, the drought of 1913, with the
consequent slaughter OF breeding stock.
and the foot-and-mouth plague, which
wiped out some of the finest herds in
the land AS an offset to these destruc.
tive influences. the American people
should resolve to make the greatest
possible use of western ranges by es-
tablishing grazing homesteads. and to
quadruple the live stock possibilities
of the South by driving out the Texas
fever tick This last measure will
give quickest and biggest results, says
Chicago Journal. There are still about
100000 square miles of land in the
South where cattle supply food for
ticks, rather than for human beings.
Much of this country is splendidly
