The term of the present officials ex-
pires on December 81, 1917. The new
officials, if any are elected, will as.
sumo their duties January l. 1917.
Just as soon as the Board of Affairs
formerly passes upon the ordinance
for the primary election, the political
parties will be expected to make plans
lcr their respective conventions. Fol.
lowing the conventions and the sub.
mission of the candidates, the present
CITY officials will make the final ar.
engagements for the election.
The commission form of government
which the city is now using, provides
that four commissioners shall be elect
cd. The candidates receiving the high.
est number of votes shall be mayor;
the second highest shall be the commits
sioner Of finance; the third highes,
shall be commissioner OF water and
sewerage the fourth highest shall be

be not more than two commissioners
elected from a single party.
Each party may put as many as three
candidates into the field for office.
Each voter is entitled to four votes, but
not more than two OF these may be cast
for candidates of any one party.
The announcement OF the meeting
CT the Board Of Affairs published in The
West Virginian yesterday afternoon
has started many rumors on the streets
az to whom will be candidates. There
is quite bit of public interest in the
prospect of an election and there is
every reason to believe that there will
lie many candidates throw their hats
into the ring as candidates If the
scheme goes through. In the last mu.
n!cipal election held four years ago
there were five parties entered: the
oppressive, Republican, Democratic,
ST cialist and Prohibitionist.
On the street last night and this
morning it was rumored that on the
Republican ticket there would be l.. NJ.
Davis, formerly editor of The West
vlrginian. The rumor was also circu,
lsting that Captain Thomas Reed, a
soldier Of the Civil war, had expressed
the intention of entering the contest.
Among the other candidates on the Re.
publican ticket whose names were
spoken of in connection with the city
offices were: Col. Howard Fleming

File. Hate Blue Glass.

Blue glass will keep flies away.
Orange, white or yellow glass will at
tract them. That is the one Interests
ing conclusion Of two English scientists
who have been experimenting alons
this line for, some time.
A room was fitted with windows
made OF blue glass. and altho myriads
OF flies were in the vicinity it was
found that they avoided the room.
Similar experiments with orange, white
and yellow glass windows brought
swarms of flies into the room. 1t u
believed that the action Of light on
blue grass made the interior OF the
room so dark to the eyes Of the flies
that they instantly avoided It. But the
effect Of light on the other shades OF
glass was exactly opposite. and the
flies consequently swarmed into room
that was brilliantly lighted. according
TO their vision.
II is believed that these discoveries
may result, In the adoption OF blue
glass window that could be left a1af
in hospitals, workshops and other
places where a maximum Of light Il
desired.
