SHORT TCUTTOVO
IS A 12-HOUR TRIP
ON STATEN ISLAND
FreakiSh Placing of Polling
Places May DisfranchiSe
Thousands.

With the big Presidential election
coming on in November. residents of
Hamilton Court, New Dorp Manor,
-Egbertvllle and part OF Richmond. all
on Staten Island. are wondering how
they are going TO vote. BY a freak
Ssh arrangement of polling places
they are practically disfranchised. as
they are required 10 pass by at least
twenty polling places 20 get TO the
one that is officially designated as
Theirs and which trip requires a full
ak hours each way even with the
best of trolley and bus connections.
As an alternative to the circuitous
bus route to their polling place, the
Board Of Elections advised the resi-
dents-400 Of whom had signed a
petition for a new voting booth--to
walk. BY walking up the highest
ridge on the Atlantic coast between
Florida and Maine they can drop
their ballots. But this walk, although
q short cut" is five miles and none
but a young athlete would cure TO
do II even on Election Day.
The disfranchised voters are prac-
ideally all descendants OF the first
settlers. Their homes are those once
occupied by Revolutionary War SOL
diers and they boast that they are
100 per cent. Americans in principle
and in lineage as we'll A few miles
from them lis n foreign speaking col
ony. This colony has a voting booth
within three minutes walk. The
pure -blooded Americans would not
mind sharing this booth, but for
some reason are instructed that they
must go TO their own. even though
the trip takes them over all Staten
Island.
Here Is the road to the ballot box
as explained to-day by one of the lost
voters: walk from the vicinity of
Ambrose Channel Light to Richmond;
take a bus to St George; transfer TO
a trolley to Port Richmond then
another bus to Bullshead: and walk a
milo or so TO the booth. The round
trip takes six hours, covers twenty
miles and passes up twenty polling
places along the way.
Matt Cahill and Major Charles
Reese, representing the 500 voters con-
cerned, appeared before the Board of
Elections. Their appeal was lost when
Joseph Thompson, the Republican
leader, said: "A change Is unneces-
stry."
The districts concerned usually give
only a scattering vote to Republican
candidates.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Kerosene oil applied nightly to corns and bunions cures them.
 A few drops of camphor on the tooth brush is refreshing, and it will harden the gums.
 Overlooking the stomach of a child will sometimes cause convulsions. Dyspepsia may be fastened upon very young infants by too frequent feeding. Mothers should not feed a baby every time it cries, night or day, and injure it's little stomach by working it all the time without rest and thus causing infantise indigestion, If you really wish to consider foot comfort and health the best shoe for every day wear is an oxford with a mod crate toe and heel. Low shoes allow greater freedom of ankle movement and better ventilation. In winter spats should be wore for nothing is harder on the heating system of the body than cold feet The same principal applies to rubbers Sandals are the best variety because they
 do not cause the feet to become over hated as do the storm rubbers. That sleeveless gowns are the vogue
 women are paying more attention thar ever to their elbows, many of which tel 1 tales of leaning on tables, etc. There 1 is nothing calculated more to cause tht skin to assume 8 coarst and scaly ap pearance than this habit. Fortunately the roughness can be remedied. In tht 1 first case the habit must be abandoned
 and then plenty of friction used to re | juvenate the skin. Rub some common kitchen salt into the elbows at night
 then wash in warm water and, after dry 1 ing, add little cold cream.

THE LEyIATHAN.

What is going to be done with the Leviathan? is a question that many more than government authorities have liner, the largest steamship ahoat, has been lying for the past ten months at her wharf under the care of a partial crew and with only a part of such at tention as it ought to have received given to it. That it is rapidly deterio- rating is readily admitted The big ship which cost s15,oO0 900 was taken over by this country during the war. Used as a transport it did wonderful service and when the war ended it was docked. It was altered over to suit the require that the changes that will be necessi- tated in order to reconvert it into a pas senger carrying liner would require somewhere in the neighborhood of eight million. It is one of the vessels built to outdistance in size another It's size
 is such as to make it less desirable than a smaller ship hence the inability to get anywhere near an offer that really rep resents the money that has been ex- pended upon it.
 Efforts to sell the liner have been made. The most favorable offer was blocked by legal action, since which tima nothing approximating the figure has been secured, while 1t has been rust ing away at it's wharf in Hoboken A it stands today it is going from bad tc worse at large daily expense to tn, government.
 The government naturally doesn't fee like refitting the ship inasmuch as it il fast getting out of the shipbuilding bus | mess. It doesn't feel like sacrificing tn noble ship for song, yet every da! that there is a delay in disposing of i and getting it headed for a different ex
 istence it is becoming a greater burdel
 and becoming a poorer ship. 1t is n small proposition to operate such a shil
 and make it pay though a fleet of ship
 that would represent no greater an in veetment would be profitable.

SUGGESTIONS FOR

THE HOUSEWIFE The only thing stale coffee is good for is coffee gelatin.
 To remove iodine or grass stains apply alcohol.
 The longer you cook dried fruit the sweeter it will be.
 Use tin pans and kettles over gas they heat quickly.
 Stale bread can be used as basis for many meat dishes.
 Never allow silver to stand overnight without washing.
 Celery added to cream potatoes will give them good flavor.
 Add little ammonia to cut the grease when washing dishes.
 Lemons will not shrivel if kept in cold water. Change twice week.
 If a cake bursts or cracks it has too much flour or has been baked too rapidly
 When salts of lemon fails to remove iron rust in oxalic acid and rinse well in borax water. Boil your black burners for fifteen or twenty minutes in vinegar, to which has been added few onion peelings. It vii make them bright as new. If there is no vegetable cutter handy when you wish to break up crackers ol nut meats, put the article in bag ant run the rolling pin over it several times This will do as well as the cutter ana you will not lose any crumbs. l Drive a medium sized nail through tht cork of your bluing bottle, thus making a hole large enough to let the bluins come through in drops. This adds it tt l the rinsing water without uncorking bot 1 tie and staining fingers.

APPROVED ACTION TAKEN
 BY GOVERNOR HoLcOMB

That Gov Holcomb is in the right in his controversy with the Connecticut legislature over the ratification of the woman-suffrage amendment will have to be admitted The objects for which he summoned the assembly in special session did not include action upon the amend ment. When the two houses effected their so-called ratification on Tuesday the amendment as transmitted from Wash ington was not officially in their pos session and the whole proceeding was undoubtedly void. As the governor has called another special session for next Tuesday for the purpose of ratification, al which time he will present the amend. ment in due form, the assent of the thir, ty-seventh will then be recorded in s manner never to be questioned.
 Probably the legality of Tennessee': action upon the amendment will be sus tained but it presents possibilities O
 litigation which those opposed to the ex
 tension of suffrage win delight in pur suing So long as this door of conteH,

THE DRUG HARJT

When Chairman Weber of the com niitee on narcotic drugs and crime of he American institute of criminal law md criminology told the members of hat institute at it's annual meeting hat i5 per cent. of the addicts of mar ,otic drugs are boys and girls approxi- mating Is years of age he must have surprised his hearers quite as much as he report of his statement must startIe he country.
 With such conditions existing it is plainly evident that greater efforts than aver need to be put forth for the over coming of the drug evil Legislation which has been enacted has shown its weaknesses. Difficulties of enforcement ,nd trouble preventing the smuggling ot lope have been encountered. but when il g claimed that boys and girls of lt rake up the majority of the addicts the act cannot fail to be realized that the .uture of the nation is seriously threat med unless a prompt and effective check 8 placed thereon.
 When Chairman Weber makes such 2 statement it is to be supposed that lit aas the facts to back up what he says and that these are based upon investi cations regarding which there can be no question. It discloses a state of af fairs that calls for the putting forth o every possible effort in the way of en forcing existing laws and of passing such new legislation as is deemed nee 5ssary to meet it. It is through addi 'ional legislation that he has any hop, of effective relief
 The situation would be bad enough [, have the addicts number those over 9 but when it is shown that the big ma iority of them are about Is it shows tn effect of laxity in fighting the use o narcotics and emphasizes the fact tha the demoralizing habit is getting in it deadly work. Such figures explain to : degree the increase that is being show in the number of youthful criminals ant delinqucnts and presents a most horribl picture for the future if permitted f, continue.

LAUNDRY HINTS.

Press all woolen underwear on the wrong side with moderately hot iron. This prevents that disagreeable scratch ing so common to woolen underwear.
 Mildew stains cannot be dissolved. A simple way is to bleach them. The mil dewed cloth is soaked in weak javelle water, rubbed well and allowed to remain until the mildew is oxidized. The cloth is then well washed.
 Silk waists must be ironed vines quite damp or they will have rough, unfinish- ed appearance Use a moderately warm iron and place a piece of muslin between it and the rigght side of the silk A hot iron yellows silk and gives it cromped. rough look. Should the waist get dry be- fore it is ironed dip it in clean, cold wa ter and roll it in cloth. Do not sprinkle it. as that would make it look blotchy when ironed.
 When either rugs or small carpets ro- quire washing dissolve four ounces of good white soap in four ounces of boil ing water. When cool add five ounces of liquid ammonia, two and half ounces of glycerin and two ounces of chloroform. Bottle and cork well for use When needed add one teaspoonful of the prep aration to pail of tepid water and wash the carpet with a flannel and soap in the usual way. One wash will have a won derfuily cleaning and brightening effect. Stretch out on a flat space. tightly nail ing the corners or sides if necessary.

THE ALAND ISLANDS.

Much time has already been used in trying to reach an agreement as to what will be done with the Aland islands. whether they will be made a part of Sweden or whether they will be Finnish erritory. They are near to both, were .ormeriy Swedish territory until taken rom that country by Russia many years lgo. Finland now lays claim to them nasmuch as they are close to Finland md considered a part of what was taken rom Russia.
 The islands are so located that they sould be a serious menace to Sweden if another and unfriendly nation should 'ortify them. Whatever Notifications there were on them long ago have dis sppeared and in recent years there has oeen an agreement that they should net Do fortified

AVOIDING WAR.

Possibly Governor Cox thinks that. the people are going to swallow the claim that he is making to the effect that his election will result in keeping the coun try out of future wars That assertion is based upon the assurance he gives that if elected he will proceed at once to bring about a ratification of the trea- ty with the league of nations, which President Wilson sought with such de- termination to have ratified but which the senate refused to do under the claim that the interests of America were para mount to those of a league of nations.
 MT. Cox seems to be endeavoring to give the people the impression that he will let them, if elected. adopt for him the same slogan He kept us out of war that was used in connection with the campaign four years ago. How we were kept out of the war only to be plunged in way over our heads is all too well known. Even at the time it was well understood at what sacrifice we were being kept out of the war and now it is not to be supposed that in view of all the experience we have had and all that has been pointed out regarding the league or nations Chat the lalh dDOuI keeping us out of war is going to be swallowed by the American people. In this connection Chairman Hays of the republican national committee well said the other day that he would leave it to the American women to say whether they were willing to endorse the league of nations and make it possible for the American boys to be called into service to participate i1 wars throughout the world.
 Senator Harding isn't laying claim to keeping us out of war but he main tains that We should support our own Constitution before disregarding it and plunging into entangling alliances, and it is from such an attitude and such a | course that it can be expected that war will be kept at the very minimum. We l certainly cannot think of transferring to
 the league rights which are specially l given to congress

FALL COATS.

The new fall coats are here and it Is hard to get away from their allure for they are displayed in all the shops.
 They are for most part simple enough in line and detail-these early fall mod els. We have not yet had the elaborate imported afternoon and evening coats or view but the so-called utility coatsY are at their best, vastly handsome in their own way.
 The simplicity is of the knowing sort 1 that is the despair of the mediocre tailor. | Materials vary from hard-service | tweeds and homespuns to silk cloths and
 wool velours, but the smartest things for general wear are in these handsome stuffs. Wool materials of suede or vel vet finish; others light as thistle-down
 and as silky, yet of fleecy wool are first
 choice There are many reds dull yet of
 an exquisite bloom, browns on pleasant
 tones, ranging from light to almost black | and all of the browns have come in stror 2 of late years; blues, tending toward the
 soft cadet blue of earlier years, but run ming down to deep shades; yelowisf tones from tawny gold to yellow browns q purples in a charming series from dull amethyst, through pansy tone to shade! almost black; all of these are offered 1T the thick, soft light coatings, and wher these stuffs are cleverly cut and fur trim
 med they make coats to conjure with.
