Using Peat in Germany.

Peat coke in Germany Is proving
serviceable in many ways. II is not
only valuable for generating cleo
tricity at moorland stations, but is
much used by blacksmiths and for va
fious metallurgical purposes, espe-
cially as a substitute for charcoal
In producing high-grade iron. A new
turf-cooBing plant at Elizabeth-Fehn,
Oldenburg, converts 80 tons of peat
into nine of coke, with gas and tar
as by-products. Specially-designed
ovens are used and the gas generated
is made to heat the retorts and to
generate electric current to drive
the peat dredging machines. The
tar yields creosote oil, gas oil, par
atm, sulphuric acid and ammonia.

men presented themselves for free ad-
mission that the ticket takers lost the
count early in the evening.
The exhibitors generally were delighted
with the results of the first week OF the
show. Never before has the attendance
reached such proportions. While they
anticipated this. a number of them tele-
graphed orders last night for additional
supplies to take care of the expected
throngs that. with the continuation of
the good weather, will be in attendance
daily during the present week. Manager
Patrick announced that every feature
would be redone and that there would
be added stunts foreach afternoon and
evening.
The Hecht models. with a new line
of apparel for men and women, will be
on view, and there will be a general
brushing up throughout the maze OF ex-
hibits. The afternoons will be marked
by special lectures and demonstrations
by the Housekeepers' Alliance and by
Mrs. Haar in the lecture hall OF the big
exhibit of the Washington Gas Light

Districts Suffrage Opinion
To Be Told At Food Show
Rare Chance Will Be Afforded Local People Express Their
Views-First Week Has Record of Attendance
and Keen Interest.

A vote on the question of suffrage for
the District of Columbia will be taken
at the food show at Convention Hall to-
morrow afternoon and night. Realizing
the bond that exists between the ballot
and the home, Manager Perry P. Patrick
believes 1t is eminently fitting that house
keepers of Washington be given an op-
portunity to express their desires with
respect to local suffragS.
There will be no discrimination along
lines of sex in connection with the bal
loting. Every person whom the ticket
collectors Judge has reached the age of
discretion will be given a ballot. Men.
women, and even big children, IL they
appear sufficiently developed mentally,
will be given an opportunity to vote on
the vital question.
Because Of the immense crowds that
visit the show every afternoon and even
ing, the vote will be representative. 1t
will be an index to the wishes of the
people of the city regarding local suf-
frage, as all classes, all sections of the
city, and all types of philosophers are
embraced in the throngs that crowd the
floor of the hall.
The balIoting will commence tomorrow
afternoon at $50 o'clock and the polls
will be closed tomorrow night at IL
o'clock The counting of the votes will
be started Immediately after the closing
of the polls. 1t is probable Manager Pat
rick will be able to give the result OF the
balloting by midnight.
Little children will not be permitted to
participate in the balloting, and no one
will be allowed to deposit more than one
vote. Stuffing the ballot boxes Will be
an impossibility, and because of the strict
supervision of the voting, advocates of
local suffrage are looking forward with
interest to the result of the vote.
Tuesday afternoon and evening will be
celebrated as Fraternity Day. and 1t is
expected there will be large representa-
,tions from every fraternal organization
in Washington. It has been suggested
that those who have uniforms or insignia
wear them to the show.
The first week of the show came to a
brilliant close last night, when the bald
headed gentlemen held sway. Every man
with a bald spot on his head three inches
or more in diameter was admitted free.

shining domes. So many bald-headed
