BALTIMORE. Aug. 30.-Declaring

Maryland unless the legislature is
| called into extra session to amend
! the election laws, State Senator
| oliver Metzerott. OF Prince Georges
county. in a statement issued last
night insisted that Governor Ritchie
should call the session without loss of
time.
He based his statement that men.
as we'll as women. would be shut out
from voting on the ground that 1t
would be "A physical impossibility to
vote them all within the legal voting
hours OF election day. with the limit
ed number of polling places now pro
vided Emergency legislation. he
added, would be required to over
come. this deficiency.
"As the law now stands" he de-
clared. "the supervisors of elections
are without authority to designate
new precincts or polling places
without additional polling places 1t
will be impossible for many men. as
November ..
boards OF supervisors may create ad-
ditional precincts, provided the regis
tration books OF any precinct contain
more than 600 names. But IL is also
provided that. to do this. the pro-
posed creation of new precinct
must be advertised for at least three
weeks prior to September /. in order
J that the public may nave sufficient
| notice thereof
Thus the law recognizes the prac-
| tical impossibility of voting more
than 500 persons in the allotted time
at any one polling place, this being
at the rate of one voter per minute
during the hours that the polls are
open. Now there are at the present
time many precincts throughout the
State where the books already show
from 400 to 500 names. The new
| registration of women will virtually
double these figures thereby allotting
to such precincts more than the num-
| ber IL is physically possible to handle.
Thereby. unless legislative meas
ures are taken to remedy this condi-
tion, we shall find a situation in which
several hundred voters of both sexes
will be left standing outside each
! polling place referred to when the
| closing hour arrives.
| This Is difficulty entirely out
side the question OF the facilities for
registering the large number of new
women voters eligible for registration
under the suffrage amendment. The
easiest and least expensive solution,
| 1t would seem to me, would be the
passage, by special session OF the
legislature. of an emergency act pro-
viding for two ballot boxes and a
double crew of voting officials at each

pulsory use OF schooihouses and other

SCIENTIST, SO, SCOUTS
GOAT GLAND THEORY
Won't Work, Says Venerable Balti-
more Physician-He Doesn't
Like Autos, Either.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 30.-There are
several things in the world today that
make no appeal to DR.. John J. Z.
Krozer, the oldest living graduate Of
the University of Maryland, who to-
day 10 observing his ninety-third birth
day anniversary. One of these things
Is the monkey gland which, scien-
lists say. will restore youth. An
other Is woman suffrage, which DR..
Krozer stamps as ridiculous. others
are automobiles and airplanes. which
he opposes for personal use only.
81 am strictly opposed to woman
suffrage" said DR.. Krozer. because
the majority Of women will have lit
tie knowledge of what they are vot-
ing for. The polling place is not the
proper place for a woman who has a
home, husband and children to look
after. And for the scientists monkey
gland theory, 1 will say II Is a hum
bug and will die natural death"
DR.. Krozer Is a stanch prohibition
list. He said the EighteeSth Amend
ment was the greatest step since the
abolition OF slavery.
Whiskey, beer, wines or alcoholic
stimulants of any kind are injurious
to the body" he said. Many crimes
are committed by those who over
indulge. and I am thankful that I
lived to see the day when liquor was
taken away. Today / am ninety
three years old, and during that time
I have never tasted an Intoxicating
drink"
DIR. Krozer has never been up In an
airplane and has no desire to do so
and has been in an automobile only
once. He says he wouldn't take zone

SHE CATCHES TRAIN
AS TAXI WINS RACE
Too Late At Baltimore Station,
Chauffeur Makes Wild Dash
to Woodbrook.

BALTIMORE. Aug. 30.-Memo. for
Automobile Commissioner Il. Austin
Baughman: Baltimore tsxicabs aren't
so slow, after all.
Comes the tale OF how one morning
recently one OF Baltimore's brightest
hued taxis sailed out Charles street
and Charles Street avenue at about
nifty knots and beat a Maryland and
Pennsylvania railroad train to Wood
brook station.
The xi-driver was commissioner
to take a handsomely-go gowned young
woman over to the North avenue and
Oak street station for the $50 o'clock
train for Delta, Pa. But when he got
there the station was ba-well. just
as old Mother Hubbard found the i'm
mortal cupboard. The train already
had passed out through the yards.
The driver scratched his head and
the young lady stamped her foot Just
then some little pal poked his head
through the gateway and said, why
don't cher ketcher at Woodbrook ?"
The train would be due at Woodbrook
in about ten minutes.
So back hoped the handsomely
gowned. vexed young lady into the
gay colored cab. and zip! the chauf-
feur cranked the engine. and away
sputtered the taxi over North avenue
to Charles street. "Details are lack
ing as to the presence of any traffic
cop.)
Up Charles street thundered - the
cab and out past University parkway.
at which point the chauffeur dis
covered clouds of smoke in the wake
OF the train which had passed Stony
Run few minutes before. SO he
gave his machine "all she'd take"
and she" sped, with the little lady
within.
The scene OF narrative now shifts
to the platform of the station at
Woodbrook. Ave miles distant. A
half-dozen villagers are gathered to
purchase their Sunday papers from
the newsboy on the train from the
city. All of sudden as things are
wont to occur out there-the old taxi
comes laundering out the avenue.
bounds down the hill and dashes
across the railway tracks and stops
with a squeak.
HAS the NJ. and p. got here YETI"
cries the driver.
Nav" replies a Woodbrooker.
Saved" eXclaims the driver.
And out steps the handsomely
gowned, pleased young lady smiling
and adjusting her turban. Five
later she boarded the train
for Delta.
But the most notable fact OF all is
that she has the distinction of being
the first person on record who has
ever motored to the depot in Wood
brook in taXicab.

WILCOX
Only Permanent Solution Of
Street Railway Problem,
= Says Utility Expert.

NEW YORK. Aug. 30.-Dr. Delos f.
| Wilcox. OF New York, today gave out
| q statement in which he severely
4 criticises certain aspects OF the Fed
ersl Electric Railway Commission's 8
report recently fled with President
Wilson.
Or. Wilcox is the public utility
expert whose services were engaged
by the commission to aid In the
analysis OF the testimony taken last
) year at the public hearings In New
York and Washington, when the
american Electric Railway Associa-
tion. the Amalgamated Association OF
Street and Electric Railway Employees
OF America. and many OF the state
commissions and municipalities pre-
Z sented their special claims.
Wilcox made comprehensive
4 analysis OF the evidence, including
| detailed traffic and revenue figures
J from most OF the important street
| railway systems OF the country show
Ing the effect of fare increases. The
figures indicated as fares go up. the
usefulness OF the street railways
goes down. Wilcox reached the con-
clusion that the only permanent
solution OF the electric railway prob
lem would be in public ownership
and operation.
The commission, in it's report to the
President, called Wilcox's analysis "a
complete and masterful study of the
whole electric railway problem" and
followed many of his suggestions. but
came out against public ownership
and in favor of service at cost, the
plan advocated by the electric rail-
ways. Furthermore, the commission
voted not to print Wilcox's analysis
and recommendations, thus excluding
from the record the tables showing
the detrimental effect of increased
fares.
ATTACKS COMMISSION STAND.
Wilcox's statement discloses the
funds for printing and distributing
the testimony and the commissions
own report are being supplied by the
American Electric Railway Associa-
tion. His principal criticisms relate
to the commissions stand against
public ownership and to the commits
sion's failure to make his analysis
part OF the printed record which is
to be deposited with the principal Ii
braries of the country and with the
State public service commissions and
the mayors OF the principal cities.
TT is not clear why service at cost,
which Is admitted to be in the eX-
perimental stage should be strongly
recommended, while municipal own
ership and operation, also said to be
in the experimental stage, is rejected

and put off as something that may
have TO be accepted in spots as q
last resort" says DR.. Wilcox. THE
fact is that the service -at-cost plan,
which the electric railway Industry
urged upon the commission and 10
which the commission has given it's
approval. was originated by Judge
Taylor in Cleveland. and has been in
operation there for a period of ten
years. This plan. modified and gem
orally made worse as result OF
local conditions, has been put into
effect In a numbet of other American
cities. including Montreal. during the
past two or three years so far as
the commissions record shows. IL
was never tried anywhere in the
world before its inauguration in
Cleveland ten years ago, and has not
since been adopted in any foreign
country>with the exception OF one or
two recent experiments in Canada
OPERATED SUCCESSFULLY.
ION the other hand. municipal own
ership and operation was inaugurated
by the city of Glasgow twenty-six
years ago and proved so successful
there that ii has become the nrmly
established policy of nearly all the
big cities of Great Britain. The Glas-
gov municipal tramways have paid
for themselves out of earnings, and
are now entirely out of debt. The
Liverpool tramways and other munich
pal systems in Great Britain are fol-
lowing a similar course. In this
country the San Francisco municipal
railway has been In operation since
1912, almost as long as the Cleveland
service-at-cost plan, and the success
of the San Francisco experiment has
been quite as notable. In fact, Judge
Sanders. the city street railroad COM
missioner of Cleveland, charged with
the duty of operating the service-at-
cost contract there. testified before
the commission in favor of municipal
ownership. and made the principal
criticisms of the service-at-cost plan
criticisms which. in spite of their
origin in practical experience with
the plan the commission in its report
characterizes as more theoretical
than real"

DRUGS EXCITE YOUR
KIDNEYS, USE SALTS
Ii Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers, Drink Lots OF
Water.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot Of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts
take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
! juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
! neutralize the acids in urine so it nc
| longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in-
| jure; makes delightful effervescent
| Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to KEEP
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble and
backache.-Adv.

rooms, well-ventilated and sunny. Two
of the bedrooms are Is by 13 feet, and
the other two slightly smaller, 13 feet
8 inches by IA feet 6 inches. At the
head of the stairs at the front of the
home is a large sewing room, and in
the corresponding position at the back
is the bathroom.
All of the bedrooms look out on the
roofs of the porches, which the archi-
tect has specified to be covered with
prepared canvas deck cloth, making
the floors less noisy and more easily
kept clean. Each OF the bedrooms has
a series Of closets adjoining 1t. These
closets are to be equipped with space
saving clothes-hangers, which save
great deal Of closet space and keep the
clothes in excellent condition.
The basement extends under the
whole Of the building proper. Here
are located separate rooms for the
heating plant. the fuel storage, cold
storage of fruits and vegetables, and
space for the storage of tools and 9TH
er garden and lawn utensils.
One of the strongest attractions Of
this design is that 1t can be built at
comparatively low figure. The
shape of the house lends itself to eco
nomical construction; the dimensions
are not large considering the number
and sizes Of the rooms, and the mate

they are more in one location than in
another, depending on the labor situ-
alton, the distance from the source of
material supply and other local condi-
tions. It is an easy matter, however,
to get fair estimate Of cost from the
local architect, contractor and mate.
rial dealer. All Of these men are in
touch with market prices of materials
and labor, and can give pretty ac
curate estimate, II they are convinced
that the inquirer is in earnest.
In this connection it will be found
that the Dutch Colonial type Of home
is one of the least expensive types OF
homes to build. Also the Dutch Co
lonial, to the writer's way Of thinking
is one of the best, both from exterior
appearance and interior arrangement
In other words, they give the home
builder the very best in comfort, con
venience, and satisfaction.
