HUGHES SILENT AS
RETURNS COME IN
Eagerly Reads Newspapers and
Dispatches From Doubt
full States

New York, Nov. s. - Charles z,
Hughes awoke at S o'clock this morn
ing after sleeping nearly seven hours
and a minute later was reading the
newspapers and latest dispatches from
doubtful States.
The private telephone wires between
the nominees rooms and Republican
national headquarters were kept busy
and on the basis of incomplete re-
turns tabulations were prepared for
his perusal. Chairman Wilcox COM
munfcated with the nominee and de-
clared belated reports were reassur-
ing.
Mr.. Hughes adhered to his deter
mination of last night to make no
comment and issue no statement un-
til the result was beyond doubt He
breakfasted with Mrs. Hughes and
their three daughters. Newspapers
were propped up in front of them all
and the meal was frequently inter-
rupted to read the latest reports from
doubtful States.
Mr.. Hughes was especially interest
ed in returns from California, Mime
sofa, Nebraska and Missouri. Early
advices to the nominee from party
leaders were that the two last named
States were in doubt with a steady Re-
publican trend as returns came

EMPLOYED as typist by large mail
order firm.
In October I made the acquaintance
OF gentleman fifty years of age, all
though he looks much younger.
He is a well educated gentleman,
has his own business. and Is in ali
respects perfect gentleman.
He has asked to call at my home
and meet my parents. and has also
invited me to go out with him, proyid-
ing my parents consent.
What I wish to know is. do you
think this gentleman is too old for
me to go out with? E. C.
Can you possibly. imagine yourself
happy as the wife of a man who Is
in all probability older than your
father? Surely your tastes and inciin-
ations are altogether different since
YOU are practically two generations
apart. 1t would be unfair to both of
you for you to permit this friendship
to go far for 1t might only result in
pain and unhappiness for both of you.

From the doubtful States the re-
turns continued to point first toward

a notice OF a steady drift toward
President Wilson.
When word went over the country
that President Wilson had been de-

jubilant. Although New England re-
turns supported the predictions, of a

with the encouraging returns from the
west he promptly raised it again.
1t is the first time In IS years that

PAPER USERS FEELING PINCH

Perhaps nobody has been hit harder
by high prices this year than the men
who use paper. The war in Europe,
which excuses and explains everything,
is offered only as partial excuse by
the paper makers. They say that raw
materials are every year becoming
scarcer. and manufacturing processes
more expensive. Paper. they declare.
was bound to be higher priced. any
way, and the added war cost of GER
tain sulphides and coloring chemicals
is only one among a number of causes
of the paper famine. We cannot tell
about that. We only know that paper
is moving skyward week by week and
month by month. It may never come
down to the old figures again. Many
publishers are feeling the pinch at
present and view the future gloomily.
An increase in the subscription prices
of your favorite journals is among
the ossibilities.-Farm Life.

late hours of the night.
The authorization by the people of
the million and a quarter loan means
that Harrisburg can at last proceed to
the relief of its congested high school
conditions. The general plan as al
ready outlined provides for the erec-
ton of a new high school for girls.
the remodeling of the Technical high
school in order to accommodate all the
boys. and the erection of three junior
high schools.

The Campaign

The decision at the polls yesterday
was the result of a vigorous campaign
that had been waged by a citizens
committee appointed by the Chamber
of Commerce and a special committee
from the school board.

dinance in brief provides that the jit-
ney owner must file bond of $50,
and each month pay into the city
treasury s5 per month until fund of
thousand dollars is raised upon
which suit for damages can be
brought in case of accident. The
license fees are fixed as follows: for
the bus carrying not more than seven
passengers $40; more than seven and
not less than fifteen. $40: more than
fifteen persons, $40. A fee of a dol

The Amendment In Effect

The jitney amendment becomes ef-

The amendment was suggested in
Council during the recent trolley
strike when the jitneurs protested
against the original provisions of the
ordinance fixing a $4,000 bond for all
who obtained a license.
Council however declined to act on
the amendment and put the whole
problem up to the people to decide by
initiative vote. Further action by the
city fathers will be unnecessary as
the decision of the people yesterday
automatically enacts the amendment
into a part of the iitneY law
