WOMAN VOTE REAL
FACTOR IN POLITICS
Party Managers Regard It
With Anxiety in New Cam
paign Projects.

Whether or not the woman suffrage
constitutional amendment Is ratified by
the necessary number Of states to
make it effective for the next presi-
Dental campaign, the political mana
gers here realize that the women's
vote is bound to cut q big figure in
that election. Hence all this recent,
current and prospective solicitude for
the women's vote. expressed, enter
tanned and planned by the democratic
and republican managers.
In twenty-eight states women now
have the right to vote for President
states in which :his privilege is en-;
joyed control nearly IS per cent OF
the electoral college. more than SO
per cent Of the Senate. As per cent OF
the House Of Representatives and 81
per cent Of the votes IN party con
ventions. OF course. the women do
not swing all those percentages. but
they exert their proportionate influence
in the total vote which does control
them.

Conferred Since Last Election.
In sixteen Of these states the right
to vote in presidential elections has
been conferred upon women since the
last presidential election. That means
that since the voters last went to the
polls on the presidential ballot, q
new element has been added to the
electorate, practically or approx

Of tho new vote can be relied upon as

1t is Of the greatest importance, be-

suffrage to women on presidential

Letter From Manager.

His letter to Col. Sanctuary follows:
AS manager of the dormitorles at
the plaza, 1 allowed certain guests OF
the dormitories the use of the recre-
alton hall on the evening OF May ~
for the purpose of holding a meeting,
but with the distinct understanding
that such meeting should be held with
open doors. 1 am informed that you
seemed to be in charge of the meeting
and that the same, contrary to the
wishes of the management. was neld
behind closed doors. This circum-
stance and the numerous statements
made in the press Of the city during
the past few days convince me that
you are endeavoring to do all you can
to create discord, dissension and dis
content among the guests at the DOR
mitories, and l respectfully request
that you will abstain from visiting the
premises unless you should have le-
ultimate business there.
"It seems that you have succeeded
in getting a small number out of the
more than sixteen hundred guests
somewhat discontinued, and l hardly
think you will be any more successful
in the future. but when we are doing
our best for the comfort of our guests
and, judging by the paucity of COM
plants, are succeeding. 1t is somewhat
annoying to have an outsider trying to
create confusion and dissatisfaction.
"As you have no possible connection
with the dormitories, official or other
WISE I trust you will realize the pro-
priety of ceasing your efforts to in

May Appeal to Secretary.

Mr.. Viewers announcement that the
"open door, policy is to be followed
with respect to all meetings to be held
in the future is expected to lead to a
ruling on this point by the Secretary
of Labor. That the guests who COM
prise what is known as the 'insur-
gent" group will carry the case to the
cabinet member is little doubted.
Today's developments. in fact are
believed to render likely investiga-
lions by the Department Of Labor and
possibly by Congress, with a view to
clearing up all the facts as to the
administration of the dormitories.
Mr. Weaver has made it plain that he
desires an inquiry which will estab-
liDh whether there is any basis for
the criticism that has been launched
against the management. a.,
Friction between Mr.. Weaver and
Col. Sanctuary developed, according
to the manager, when he opposed the
latters method Of making allotments
to. the dormitories. The breach was
wfdened when Mr.. Weaver overruled
Col. Sanctuary's decision that secre-
tarfes to congressman should not be
given accommodations in the hotel, on
the ground that they are better paid
than war workers. The outgrowth Of
the disa greements was that Col. Sane

Cabinet Officers Chagrined
Naturally, the published report Of
Hawker's speech provoked consider
able comment, but cabinet officers
deemed it improper to say anything
publicly about it, though they did not
conceal their chargin.
They noted especially that the Brit
ish audience received that part Of
Hawker's speech in silence, after
minutes before when the statement
was made that American naval avi-
ators had succeeded in reaching Eu-
rope through the air.
Naval officers generally were sur
prised at HaWker'S comment, because
they said it was so inconsistent with
the sportsmanship SO characteristic
of the British navy and people. Some
went so far as to make excuses, won
dering if Hawker's meaning had not
been abridged by the brevity of the
published quotation, though it was
argued, on the other hand, that the
representing the Associ-
ated Press, who were present, must
have received full impression of
what Hawker said before writing the
dispatch.

GAVE IDEA TO INVENTORS
Timothy AIden's Typesettlng Machine
First Of the Kind to Be Placed
on the Market

Timothy Alden was born in Barn.
stuble, Mass, SO years ago. He was
the first man to invent a typesetting
machine. In his bOyhoOd Timothy was
apprenticed to a printer. He was
born inventor, and almost from his
first day In the printing Office he be-
gan to think of plans for improving
the various processes connected with
the typographical art. He invented
several machines connected with
printing before he turned his attention
to the mechanical setting of type.
After several years of study he pro-
duced his first model of typesetting
machine in 1946. This machine con-
sisted Of horizontal rotating wheel
with type cells on It's circumference
making receivers rotate with it to pick
out the type at the proper places. This
appliance was ingenious, but 1t effect
ed no improvement over hand compo-
sition. Timothy Alden died in Boston
in 1858, and his brother, Henry, later
made several improvements in the ma
chine. Timothy Alden's machine had
the merit Of setting others to thinking
about the same problem, with the re-
suit that hand composition Is rapidly
becoming thing Of the past.

PICTURE THAT WOULD LIVE

When Daniel Webster was eight
years old he saw in q country shop
cotton handkerchief with something
printed on both sides of It. He gave
his whole stock of boarded pennies to
secure it and absorbed its contents
that night with his keen dark eyes, on
his fathers kitchen floor, by the light
of the roaring chimney fire. What
painter will be the first to make that
scene perpetual in our country's his

All About Euus.

In hens egg only one-fifth of the
substance is nutritious. One-nlnth is
refuse, and the greater portion, about
twO-thirds, Is water.
Judged by the amount of nutriment,
gOOse's egg is the most valuable;
next in order are ducks. guinea fowls,

Eggs contain a large quantity of
sulphur, which is purifying to the
blood and good for the complexion.
To get the best egg you must feed
your fowl on grain.
And to cook it in the most dlgeStible
way you must not boil the water. Heat
the water to $50 degrees and leave

Gasoline to Be Mined.

. The latest estimates of the United
States geological survey show that If
gasoline continues to be used up at
the present rate, all the petroleum
fields now In use will be exhausted be-
fore 1850. Where, then, will the fu-
ture supply of gasoline come from?
Billions of dollars are involved in the
question. The probable answer is that
mined" gasoline will be used.
Colorado, Utah and other Western
and middle Western states contain ex-
tensive Oil-bearing deposits Of bltumin-
Gus shale. Crude oil can be extracted
from them and this can be distilled
further to obtain gasoline.
1t is estimated that enough gasoline
could be produced in this way to equal
many times the amount obtained from
all present-day fields.

SUMTER June 28.-Sumter
City and community is considerably
wrought up over the work of a
mysterious poisoner who for the sec
ond time in a year, has been at
work on the place of H. J. Webb, a
young farmer living half mile from
Sumter City. The first job Of the poi

several cats hape died and eight
chickens were found dead at various
places about the premises.
According to information, the poi
son, placed on pieces of biscuit, was
strewn about the outside of the
house and yard last Wednesday night
the family were in Americas attend
ing the high school graduation qXer-
cises. The next morning the first
intimation they had of anything
wrong was when the big st. Bernard
dog, pet of the family and espe-
cially the two small children, was
found in spasms. After treatment
he gradually recovered. In the mean
time search for the poison revealed
the bits of biscuit, the inside of
which were sprinkled with a white
powder resembling strychnine. Small
bits here and ther were left on the
ground, however, and these were
picked up by the chickens resulting
in their quick demise.
''It is only by the greatest good
fortune that our two small children
did not get hold of pieces of these
poisoned biscuits" said Mrs. Webb
in speaking of the experience. "They
are up early in the mornings and out
into the yard the first thing, and
like all small children, will pick up
anything if it looks like something to
eat, no matter where they may find
it."
Mr.. and Mrs. Webb profess to have
not the slightest suspicion of who
planted the poison, although heads
wag rather wisely in the neighbor-
hood, indicating at least that theil
friends have their suspicious. How
ever, no hint of a name has been
dropped in connection with the case.
1t has developed since this in
stance that year ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Webb discovered that on several oc-
casions a number of eggs which they
gathered from the nests about the
barnyard bore small punctures
through which apparently, a poison
had been injected. After a careful
scrutiny of these suspected eggs, they
were buried.
