DEALERS SAY PRICE OF EGGS
 WILL GO UP

Many egg dealers throughout the state are opposed to the enforcement of the so-called egg law passed at the 1917 session of the Legislature, which has not been pushed because of war conditions, but is to be now according to announcement by Thos. Holt, state dairy and food commts sioner, as published last week. The commissioner said that there is no alternative for him other than to en- force the law. The 1917 law reads that each cold storage, incubated or preserved egg, shall be stamped, while the 1913 law says that each crate containing storage, incubated or preserved eggs shall be stamped.
 Dealers interviewed yesterday said that the 1917 law is severe and that if they have to stamp each individual egg, the price of eggs will be bound to go up.

OHIO VOTERS MANT ID STAY IN DRY COLUMN Vote Three Times Bigger Than That of Last
 Year ALSO RATIFIED
 DRY AMENDMENT T Municipal Elections Were Very Warmly Con-
 tested

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 5-Ohio yes terday voted to remain in the dry column by a majority which may reach three times the size of that by w- -hich it voted prohibition a year ago, according to incomplete and unofficial returns received early today at the office of the secretary of state.
 Secretary of State Smith said early today that partial returns to his of fee from half the counties in the state indicated a dry majority on all four prohibition proposals of approxi= mately 75,OO0.
 Yesterdays dry victory came just a year after Ohio first voted statewide prohibition by a majority of 25,0O0 and less than six months after pro- hibition became effective on May 27.
 In addition to defeating the pro- posed repeal of state wide Prohibition Ohio apparently voted by big majori- ties to uphold the action of the legis- lature in ratfyinS the Federal pro- hibition amendment; to kill a propos- al for the manufacture and sale of beer containing as high as 2.75 per cent. alcohol, and to put into effect the Crabbe prohibition enforcement bill passed by the legislature last spring.
 Both the vets and drys put up un- usually hard fights this year, know ing that the nation was watching to see what Ohio, the largest prohibition state, would do. Ohio is the first state that has held a referendum on the Federal Prohibition amendment.
 On additional returns today, the drys continued to show increasing majo-ities in almost every section of the state Secretary of State Smith said that practically all counties showed large dry gains over last year.
 The drys made a gain of more than 2,G00 over last year in Cincinnati, and showed large gains in practically all of the smaller cities and rural coun- ties. The vets made a gain of 5000 in Cleveland and smaller gains in Youngstown and several other of the smaller cities.
 Warmly contested municipal elec- tions brought out a large vote. Mayor Harry L. Davis. Republican, was re- elected in Cleveland; Mayor Cornell Schreiber. Independent, was reelected in Toledo, and Mayor George J. KaT>b, Democrat. was defeated for re-elec- ton in Columbus by J. J. Thomas, Repu blican.

REF, LA GUARDIA DEFEATS MORAN BY 1868 VOTES Expected An Official Re count Will Be
 Asked MURPHY WON'T
 ADMIT DEFEAT Tammany Loses Contest for Supreme Court
 Seats

New York, Nov. 5-CompIete re- turns of the vote for president of the Board of Aldermen show that Repre- sentative F. H. Laguardia, Republi- can, defeated Robert L. Moran, Dem ocratio incumbent, by 1868 votes. An official recount will be asked for in MT. AIoran's behalf.
 The vote was: LaGuardia, 4O3, ,O51: Moran, 401,6SS; James O'Nen, Social ist, 12G, ,35J.
 Charles F. Murphy. the Tammany leader, refused to admit early today that Moran had been defeated. sam nel s. kOenig. chairman of the New York county Republican committee was equally positive that LaGuartlia, had won by a small margin. He at tributed the candidates success large Iy to his record as an aviator during the war.
 Tammany lost all three contests for seats on the supreme court bench in the First and Second judicial dis tricts. Justice Joseph F. Newburger, who was refused a renomination by the Democrats and then was placed in the field by the Republicans, had little difficulty in defeating Irwin Un- Iernyer, a 33-year-oId pominated by Tammany. Major P. J. McCook, the
 
 First district, won from Justice Rob ert L. Luce, appointed by Governor Smith to fill a vacancy. Arnon L. squiers, the Republican in the Sec ond district, was elected by a com paratiVe small plurality. James A. Foley, son-in-Iaw of Leader Murphy, scored 9 moderately easy victory over James O'AIaIley, his Republican opponent for surrogate of New York county.
 Reuben L. Haskell, Republican, was elected a county judge in Brooklyn on Q ''wet'' platform and Harry ? Lewis, Republican, won another term as district attorney of Kings county, but George A. TVingate, Dem ocrat, was elected surrogate. The socialists failed to make good their claim they would poll a larger vote than they did in 1917 and were credited with little more than ten per cent Of the ballots cast for alder | manic president. Apparently they gained no seats in the assembly, and l the number of their representatives il 1 the board of aldermen has not been l determined.

ABOUT KITCHEN WARE.

Aluminium is very durable and does not rust. But it is affected by aIkaIies and acids, and so you should avoid using washing soda and strong soaps on pans of this material. Clean with weak acids, such as dilute vinegar or sour milk, and rub off with whiting or fine steel wool.
 Enamel and agateware is smooth. easily cleaned and not affected bv acids or alkalies- There is danger. of the glaze slipping off and exposing an iron or steel surface which may be affected by water and acids and thus injure food. To tougher new pieces, fill with cold water, bring slowly to the boiling point and let the water cool in the dish
 Glassware is smooth, unaffected by foods and suitable for storing food. To tougher it, cover with cold water, bring slowly to the boiling point and cool in the same water.
 Iron and steel grows better and smoother with careful use; takes and keeps an even heat, but rusts easily To prevent rust, cover new utensils with fat and bake it in; keep in a dry place, and if you intend storing such ware for any length of time, cover with paraffine or wrap in a news paper.
 Tin is not affected by weak acids or alkalies unless the plating is injured. Great heat on empty tin makes il warp, and also melts the plating.
 Wood makes comfortable handles on kitchen articles because it does not transmit heat so quickly as metal. In cleaning wood, it should never be soaked. Wash it quickly. using a scourer rather than a soap rinse and wipe dry; use as little water as pos sible, and rub down occasionally with sandpaper or steel wool.

 marching by. Red fire, horns news papers, and confetti were hurled to the four winds. The entire police force was out on duty and they had their hands full to keep the crowd in any senblance of order.

 King at his home.
 l Mir. King appeared and spoke at i some length on the election yester- i day. He was cheered at every word | Finally the long line commenced to move up Park avenue to Fairfield to Clinton avenue and then to the
 mayors home near Nap1ewood ave nue where he was obliged to speak.

 AS a possible indication of the drift of popular sentiment preparatory to the national elections next year, yes tcri1ay's results were beng closely scrut:ntzed by party leaders Ken lucky was swept into the Republican fold in the govern orship fight. but to- days returns made it certain that New Jersey had reverted to the Dem ocratic column Maryland, the only u.he- state in which there was a ser .;o1s contest for the governorship, was sill il doubt with the Demo- cratic candidate leading
 Local issues complicated the fight in a least two staIes. In Massa chu- sets the police strike issue in Bos- ton was said 10 underlie the purely party division al the polls Richard T. Long, defeated Demo cratic candi- date lad appealed to the labor vote. while former Governor Coolidge .rtood square1y on his record in deaI- ing with the Boston police strike and rolled up a plurality of almost 125.- OG0 votes
 In New Jersey, Edward l. Edwards Democrat, running on a "wet7 plat form had an apparently safe lead of almost 12.000 over Newton A k Isugbee, Republican. but the 1egis- Iature will be Republican by a nar- c'uIF margin
 The t5efeat O* Governor James D. Tlack Dem oorat, for reelection in Tez7tucky, where Edwin r. Morrow lis Republican opponent, was credited today with 9 plurality approaching % CC0, probably will be more than any other state result by party managers, who have the eyes fixed On next years campaign Previous Demo cratic majorities were upset in some Iarts of the state
 Republicans also will control the lower house of the Kentucky legisla- ture, while the Democrats will con trol the Senate
 The wet and dry issue also entered into t72e Kentucky contest, q state wide prohibition amendment appar- entIy having been defeated decisively.
 Lee M Russell, Democrat, was elected governor Of Mississippi by the usual majority. He was opposed by a socialist who boiled only about ten thousand votes. The legislature will be solid1y Democratic.

 (Answer.) That's a point depend ing on the way you give your invi- tation. If you invited them to be your guests both flor a ride and din ner, then of course you should pay the bills for both. But if you invited them simply for ride, it is rather expected that they will offer to pay for the refreshments, both for them selves and for you.
