On May Is the eastern ENJOYS are

ASKS FOR ITS ENACTMENT.
Utilities Board Approves Bill in In
terest of Local Railway.

With a request for Its enactment, the
public utilities commission has sent to
Congress a bill which will permit the
Washington and Maryland Railway
Company to operate by a grounded re-
turn until such time as, in the opinion
of the commission, the company should
operate by a complete metallic circuit
The object of the measure is to give
the commission authority to determine
when the metallic circuit should be
installed. There Is no necessity at the
present time for a non-grounded re-
turn on the line of the company, it is
stated, since it runs through an unde
ve1oped section, but the necessity will
exist, the commission asserts, when
the adjoining territory is built up.

HOUSEWIVES DAILY

GLOVE HINTS.
By. FRANCES MARSHALL

Nowadays washable gloves have been
so highly perfected that almost all of us
wear them
There are many good kinds of wash
able gloves-chamois and doeskin, fabric
and wash dress kid.
sThe first hint toward gaining economy
N wash gloves concerns their washing.
They must be washed according to d.
rections. Each sort needs a different
treatment. Sometimes directions printed
on a slip of paper come inside the gloves.
II they do they should be carefully read
and needed.
For chamois gloves soapy water that
Is just warm enough not to be chilly
should be used. The gloves should be
thoroughly washed In it and then wrung
softly in the hands. then rinsed in a Sec
ond lukewarm, soapy water. The same
method should be used for doeskin. For
washable dressed kid gloves water that
is almost cool should be used. with pure
soap, and then clear rinsing water.
good way to wash dressed kid gloves
Is to put them on the hands and wash
them with a soft flesh or nail brush. All
dirt can be removed in this way.
This year, when long sleeves are in
fashion, We don't need so many pairs of
long white gloves as We have needed for
several years.
One woman with an economical turn of
mind who needed many pairs of short
white kid gloves, cut of her long gloves
above the wrist, turned them in and
hemmed them by machine-and behold.
she had the needed short gloves. To be
sure, the long gloves may be In fashion
again for daytime wear In a year or so,
but I'm the meantime they might have
rotted out or grown yellow. She sniped
the raw edge after cutting II, into small
scallops, and then turned IL under onlv
once, to avoid bulkiness.
One Of the troubles about channels and
doeskin gloves is that the snaps pull out
often Of almost new gloves. II this hap
pens the gloves seem quite useless. One
way to make them useful again is to pull
the clasps out entirely. to buttonhole the
hole left on one side as neatly as possi--
bic, to pull the other one together or put
piece of cloth under It, and to fasten q
button there-a pair OF buttoned gloves
results.

HISTORY BUILDERS.
Two Famous Election Foeecasters.
BY DR.. e. j. EDWARDS,


The late Colonel George Bliss, who
served with Chester A Arthur-afterward
President Of the United states-upon the
staf of Governor e D. Morgan. Of New
York, IN civfi war days, was esteemed
the ablest forecaster Of the results Of
the election among all the Republican
politicians OF his State. Several times
his forecasts, at least OF the vote In New
York City. were within two or three
hundred Of the figures reported after the
ballots were counted
once asked Colonel Bliss II he had any
special method by which he was able to
make these forecasts. He said that he
took the registration figures, ward by
ward and district by diserict, and also
gained information respecting changes In
the population Of any district since the
previous election.
"At that time" said Colonel Bliss,
party lines were very rigidly drawn. For
that reason. with registration figures as q
basis and with thorough knowledge Of the
election districts, It was not difficult TO
work out an answer to the problem In
volved In the question-What Is the actual
vote going to be7 I discovered that we
could rely confidently upon a certain av-
erags percentage of falling OF In the
vote from the registration figures.
But when you ask me about campaign
managers who have been able accurately
to forecast results can tell you that the
two men, one Republican and one Demo
crst. who had a really marvellous ability
for forecasting the net results of the
election were James @. Blaine-who was
for years the chairman OF the Republican
State committee Of Maine-and Samuel ].
Tilden, who was for some years chair
man Of the Democratic State committee
of New York. The difference between
Blain and Tilden. however, lay In the fact
that Maine Is a small State In population
as compared to New York. II was said
Of Blaine that he knew personally almost
every Republican in Maine. For that
reason he was able to make very careful
and complete canvasses, and these
showed him what the Republican vote.
or at least the minimum Republican
vote, was sure to be. When greenback
and labor factions prevailed In Maine
Blaine was at a loss.
'Tilden, However. had the State of New
York with its large population as a field
for his estimates. At times I thought
there was something uncanny almost in
Tilden's canvasses-~of the vote In New
York State. He seemed almost to rely
uPou hhsuiiion, Out as matter OF TACT
he did not. He was the greatest master
Of canvassing so that every voter could be
placed this country has ever seen. 1t
was ability of that kind which partly ac-
counts for the prominence Tilden secured
tn the Democratic party as political
manager. His friends said he never took
anything for granted. By the way, rilden
would have been one Of the greatest mas
tsrs Of mathematics the United States
has produced II he had chosen It as a
profession"
