ters at Chicago.
Maj r. w. Altstaetter-in charge
Of the army engineering office in
this city and district-has been

Korbly May Resign.
Bernard Korbly, the present state
chairman, has been on the point OF
-esigning many times during the
past few weeks and a more or less
spirited contest has been on in the
ranks OF the party leaders TO de-
termine who should succeed Korb-
~. The situation still is chaotic
Many names are being mentioned
for a successor 10 Korbly. II now
is apparent, it is reliably reported
here. that William II. O'Brien Of
Lawrenceburg, definitely has turned
down the earlier proposal that he
be elected TO the craftsmanship.
With O'Brien out Of the way, sup
Porters of state Sen. J. r. Fleming
OF Portland are urging that he be
elected. What is known as the Fort
Wayne crowd in democratic politics
Is insisting that Fleming be select
ed, and other leaders are just as
strenuously insisting that another
be chosen. The opponents of Sen.
Fleming declare he is too closely
Identified with the element in demo-
cratic politics that has been follow
ing stephen B. Fleming in past in

Sentiment for McGill.
There is a sentiment here to Sc
lect a so-called radical democrat,
such as James McGill Of Lafayette,
who has fought the "old guard" in
state politics for several years. 1t
is surprising TO see the younger men
of the so-ca1led "old guard turning
to the McGill idea II is hardly
probable, however, that the move
ment will gain enough strength 10
insure McGill's election.
Another proposal is that Charles
Sallee, the dapper little secretary of
the state committee during several
campaigns, be made executive secre-
tary Of the committee and that Ber-
nard Korbly be allowed to remain a.
state chairman until the primaries
next spring. Under such an ar
rangement Sallee would be the &C
tive head of the party and would
devote his time TO building up the
party organization throughout the
state. Just at this time some such
scheme as that seems the one best
bet. Dig leaders here declare. An
mother proposal is that Burt New.
formerly legal clerk to the governor,
be made state chairman. New is
in line, IL is known here, for big
federal appointment shortly.

DAY COACHES FOR TROOPS.
sIeepsrs Not to Be Provided Under
 War Conditions.

Washington.-It is announced by the secretary of war that standard Pull, man and tourist sleepers will not be used for the transportation of troops under ordinary conditions during the war. Day coaches hereafter will be used on the basis of one officer to each double seat and three men to each two double seats. The new order applies to all cases except journeys of unusual length, covering more than one night and one day, which cases will be sep arately considered when they arise.
 It is explained that the new regula- tion Is necessary owing to the limited number of sleeping cars available for troop movements and to the congestion that would arise on transportation lines if sleepers had to be collected for every large movement of troops. More over, by doing away with sleepers, 1t Is declared, the number of cars neces- sary to handle the movement is de- creased by One-quarter.

FiIlina In Cracks.

One of the bits of repair work that need occasionally to be done in the house is the filling up Of cracks in the walls or baseboards. Cracks should always be filled promptly. Putty, plas- ter of paris, sawdust and glue are all good filters for cracks of different sizes and in different places. Any of them may in time wear out and need re newaI. Very thick paint is a good filler. Putty is whiting mixed with lin seed oil, and if applied to unfinished wood the inner surfaces of the crack or hole should first be touched with shelIac. If this is not done the oil from the putty will be absorbed and make a visible line or ring. Perhaps wax Is better.
 By the handy man or boy or by the woman who can use few tools fairly well large cracks can better be filled with small wedges of wood driven in tightly. These may be so well filled and matched in color that they will not be noticed.
