SEATTLE VOTERS IN A SPIRITED
 VOTE BATTLE

SEATTLE, May 2.-With rather un- usual climatic conditions here, and February weather prevailing, the vot- CTS of this city wended their various ways to the polls today to exercise their suffrage in one of the most i'm portant spectacular municipal cam paigns that this city has seen for many years.
 The voters cast their ballots for mayor, three city councilmen, two school directors, port commissioner, and also passed on seven referendum measures, the most important of which is the proposal of Councilman Brick son that the expenses of maintenance of the Municipal Street Railway sys- tenn be paid out of the funds derived from general taxation. Under this last measure the only fares charged would be for the extension and addi- tion of the present system through the building of new lines supplementing the present routes, and the cost of re- newal of the lines now in operation.
 The campaign over the Erickson measure has been exceedingly bitter. Nothing like it has ever happened in Seattle during it's entire history. It is unquestionable but that the in terest of the people has been aroused and it is safely predicted that over 90 per cent of the voters will go to the polls before evening calls halt on the battle.
 The next in interest to the street railway fare problem is the contest over the mayoralty between Daniel Landon and Dr. B. J. Brown, dentist. Landon has been a state senator and is a lawyer. Brown has been promi- nent in Seattle politics for years and has been a candidate for mayor be- fore. He is a picturesque personality, who besides being a dentist has been admitted to the bar of the state. The fight between Brown and Landon had been confined almost entirely to bit ter personalities.

Unless he was told. it is possible that not one member of the PoI audi ence would suppose that Click, Click the headHner at the vaude- vile house the latter part of this week, had anything to do with a camera, but that is really the thing upon which the act is based. And a splendid little act it is with five ta1- ented dancers who present every type of dancing from Jazz to .. very prim littlo minuet. A delightful spanish dance tby Miss Mildred Rogers and Billy Huges, the stars of the act, brought memories of Valentino's lit tie dance in Blood and Sand" and rereived much applause from an en- thusiastic audience.
 A little sketch which is unique on the stage but very usual in real life is presented by Alan Coogs4l and Mary Casey in Bidding Her Good Night Much laughter was caused by Howard and LeW1ss, Jewish com Like Me?" and Willie Lang was re called several times for his xylophone playing.

 SHOES LAST 10 YRS.
Puts Glue and Sawdust Sole on Old Uppers; Presto! Like New Ones.

Zion, H., Oct. 20-Don't throw your old shoes into the ashcan! Policeman Isaac Parry, of Zion, Illinois, has dis covered a method of restoring worn out soles and making them like new. Even if your soleS are almost on the ground and the bottoms of your toes are beginning to show through like young potatoes. Parry can fix 'em. He has invented a simple method of making shoes practically everlasting, so far as the soleS are concerned Just so long as the uppers will hold together Parry can make them last ten years.
 Here is his formula. Just get a nickePs worth of sawdust and a dimes worth of glue. Apply the glue in liquid form to the soles of your shoes and cover the glue with rich coating of sawdust Then let the shoes stand overnight so that the glue will dry. When you walk on them the sawdust will pack as hard as bricks. If you use waterproof glue it will stand we. weather When they wear out just
