Those to whom such queries are put

ply, cit is in the atmosphere. We
also suffer from such compla nss. !"
A woman, however, has found out
the cause of all the trouble. Miss
Elizabeth Timlow, who directs a
boarding school in Washington, and
is health expert besides, says cold
is caused by peevishness or anger
rather than a draught or wet feet.
Miss Timlow explained some of
her ideas to gathering of blind per-
sons at the Congressional Library
last night.
cit is anger, resentment, fear and
worry that cause people to be sick, "
said Miss Timlow. "These emotions
cause the heart to act too fast or
too slow and the body gets out of
order right. away. Fear will make
the heart beat slowly for an hour or
may be month.
eve think We get colds, grip and
pneumonia and host of other us
eases because we have gotten our feet
wet, or because of a draught, but
we simply believe that because we
have been trained so.
Miss Timlow urged the cultit.'!on
of love and other virtues, and these,
she said, were a tremendous power
to destroy the suggestions of sick
ness.
This is simple preventive and
will cost us nothing No need to
pay doctors fee, nor invest in
drugs. Let US test this formula by
keeping in good humor with one
another. If the prescription fails,
we lose nothing.

MARTIN AS FLOOR LEADER

The many friends of Ihomas D.
Martin senior Senator from Vlr-
pinia. rejoice to hear that he was
yesterday chosen majority leader IN ,
the upper branch of the Congress OF
the United States, compliment ne
well deserves. MIR. Martin was MI
noritv leader at time when the re-
nublicans were in the majority IN the
Senate, but when the democrats had
gained the ascendancy Senator John
w. Kern, of Indiana, was chosen
leader, and Mr.. Martin made chair
man of the appropriations committee
a post of high honor and power
Senator Kern failed Of reelection,
and the friends of Mir. Martin I'M
mediately urged his selection as ma
iority floor leader. Friends of Sena-
tor Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana
urged his election as floor leader, but
Mr.. Martin took the lead in the demo-
cratic caucus yesterday, and ne now
heads the body.
While the selection of MI. Martin
is naturally hailed with delight by his
many friends in Virginia, he is also
being congratulated throughout the
country, as he has long been looked
upon as one Of the most useful men
ever sent to the Senate. His seiec-
ton is especially gratifying to the
District of Columbia. Senator Mar
tin being member OF the Sen
ate District. Committee He has
taken keen and friendly interest In
the affairs of the national capital fol
many years. AS chairman Of the
Senate appropriations committee the
Virginia senator has established q
record for "getting things done" in a
Senate where the unlimited debate
permitted has often caused great de-
lay in legislation.
If the Democrats retain control
of the next House, Virginia vii lbe in
the forefront in the Senate, and in
the House. Senator Martin, in add
ton to being majority leader, will
be chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, and Senator Swanson, his
colleague, in addition to his chair
manship of the Committee on Public
Buildings, is spokesman for the adj
ministration on naval affairs in the
Senate.
In the House, Representative Glass
will be chairman Of the Committee
on Banking and Currency; Repre-
sentative Flood will be chairman OF
the Committee on Foreign Affairs
and Representative Jones will be
chairman of the Committee on In

.larly to Pitt street, between Wolfe
and Wilkes.
| have been observing the traffic on
this street for some little time. There
are very few vehicles that will at
tempt to travel this square, as they
will go out of their way to avoiu it.
Most of them that have business on
the square, will stop at the corner and
walk down. I have seen no less than
one dozen machines and wagons get
stuck in the mud along there 1t
would be almost impossible for a
fire engine to run through this street
in bad weather. 1t is dangerous to
attempt to cross over, as in some
places it is nothing but a ni..ish.
Water, mud and filth, lying in the
ruts and hollows make it unhealthy
for people living along the square.
When the gutter overflows the water
finds outlet down the middle of the
street. Considering the wear and
tear on traffic, and the inconvenience
that it causes, / don't think it would
be bad investment for the city to
put few repairs on it.
Just what those repairs should be
is, naturally, up to the city council
and city engineer, but that something
ought to be done, is self evident to
everyone who has occasion to |ass
through the street. As it is now and
has been for some time it is dis
grace to the city. A few carloads
of clay were emptied into the holows
and moist places not long ago which
made fine miro holes as soon as the
rains came.
If the city cannot build nlacadam
or some other kind Of permanent
road there at present, why not con
struct one of dirt or gravel? In
fact, anything that Will make the
street passable for traffic, would DC
appreciated.

CAN EVADE U-BOATS


las will be seen elsewhere in the
Gazette, Great Britain, and, in fact,
the civilized world. will soon enjoy
comparative immunity from U-boat
attacks. We are told that Aeneas was
enveloped by clouds sent by Venus,
his mother, at the approach Of dam
ger. and British ships now can pass
into a total eclipse by the use OF
smoke at the approach of sub
mersible, and should torpedo be
discharged it will be at random and
the missile is likely to pass mile
beyond it's objective.
The Cunard steamship Caramania,
which arrived at New York yester-
day, after having passed safely
through the danger zone, exemplitied
it's safety apparatus. AS soon as a
U-boat is discerned a huge bank CT
smoke is emitted from d steamer,
rendering it impossible to make a
target out of the ship.
The advent of submarines has set
many brains in motion in order to
devise scme means of evading or
destroying these monsters of the
deep. The smoke protection is said to
be practical, and its immediate adop-
ton will soon reduce the number OF
victims of submarine warfare.

ANOTHER REMINDER.

The Richmond Times Dispatch in
its clippings from files of fifty years
ago today republished the following
paragraphs:
Governor Pierpont has written a
letter to John Hawkhurst, Of AleXan-
dria, giving it as his opinion that
under the Sherman act negroes can
vote in all of the spring municipal
elections in Virginia.
Over 1000 negroes offered to vote
in the Alexandria election yesterday,
The commissioners rejected their
votes, but they were recorded by the
! radical candidates for city offices, and
contest will. follow.
The above brings to mind happen
ings in our city half century ago.
The late Hugh Latham had been
elected Mayor the preceding year,
and in March, 1867, was the demo-
cratic candidate for reelection. The
term of office that time was one
year, and the spring election was
held OH the first Monday in March.
Latham was opposed by George
Tucker, Of Vermont, who came here
after the city had been captured by
the. federal troops. He was tall,
dark-compleNioned man, who wore
full black whiskers. He was a law
yer by profession, and his office vas
on the north. side of Prince street,
near Royal. He was at one time
clerk of the Pierpoint Legislature.
Virginia was out of the union, and
the local authorities held to the laws
existing before the war. Of course,
they refused to allow negroes to
vote. After the commissioners re-
fused to receive their ballots. Tucker
voted them at his office. coralling the
blacks in blocks. After the closing
of the polls, according to fuckers
count, he had majority. On tn, day
set for the inauguration of the new
Mayor, Tucker went to the Mayors
office ard demanded the keys of
Latham. The latter refused to trans
fer the office of him, and Tucker,
supposing Paul Il. Hambrick, Mill
tary Governor of Alexandria at the
time, would espouse his cause, an
nounced that he would make con-
test Hambrick, however, manifested
no interest in the issue
Two years later, when negroes
were allowed to vote. Tucker was
candidate for Congress before the
Republican Congressional .Conven-
ton. While others were in the con-
test, the real race was between
Tucker and Charles Whittlesey. The
latter secured the nomination, but at
the election Lewis Mckenzie, who
had been nominated by the democrats,
was elected by large majority.
Tucker left Alexandria later, but
Whittlesey remained here until
death, practicing law in the mean
time. Most of his business, how
ever. was in Washington He died at
his home on the north side of Prince
street, between Fairfax and Lee,
about forty years ago.
