HERE'S HOW SITUATION WILL Be
HANDLED If The PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION GOES INTO CONGRESS

turns TO Washington. In congress
the Republicans had n majority in
the senate, while the Democrats had
Il majority in the house. On this
point r. II. Fuller, as cited above,
has the following to say:
20. Neither party was able to
have its return from the disputed
states declared valid. 1t was final
" decided to refer the controversy
to a returning board or electoral
commission, consisting of five sem
ators, five representatives, and five
Judges Of the United States supreme
court. This commission decided that
Hayes had carried Florida by n plu-
rality of 926 and Louisiana by 4
plurality of 4,627.
The supreme court of Florida
had given Tilden a plurality OF 81
in that state, and the face of the
returns in Louisiana, it was assert
ed, gave Tilden 5,303 plurality. The
electoral votes of these two states,
however, were counted for Hayes,
giving him lS5 electoral votes and
Tilden 1874. The count was not
completed until two DAYS before
March t, 1877, when the new pres
ident was to be illaugurated. -

wife last Christmas. just how his
own ear "siaes up' with the Yo-
semitic record is best told by him
self, according to Claude Cotton,
manager for the Davies-Overland
company in FL Centre.
"a short time ago we took trip
to Los Banos, and filled the gas
tank and set the speedometer at
zero before starting, to learn ex-
actly what we might expect as to
highway gasoline mileage. We re
turned by way of Pacheco pass and
Gilroy. At the finish, with the
speedometer registering 334 miles,
we drained the gas tank and found
it contained an even quart, That
meant 334 miles on 9M gallons of
gasoline, or about 34H miles to the
gallon. So | think the Yosemite
record is not deceptive. -

Editors Note-This is the
second and concluding article
on what happens when the
presidential election is thrown
into Congress. The first arti-
Gle coversd the manner in which
such election is handled-this
tells what happened in 1924
and 1876 when the election was
IN doubt.
WHAT HAPPENED IN 1924
In the presidential cans,aign Of
1924 Andrew Jackson, John Quincy
Adams, Henry CLAY, and Williom H..
Crawford were candidates for pres
ident. John c. Calhoun was chosen
vice president by the electoral col
lege but none of the presidential
candidates had majority of the
electors, the vote being: jackson
80, Adams 81, Crawford II, and
Clay 81. The election Of the pres
ident, r. II. Fuller notes, was there
fore again thrown into the house Of
REPRESENTATIVES and Adams was
elected by q majority Of the states
receiving Is votes to seven fer
Jackson and four fer Crawford. Clay
had been dropped because he wss
among the fhst three in The
electoral college.
According to Professor j. A.
Woodburn. in "The American Re
public and It's Government it
was charged that 4 corrupt coali,
ton had been made between AdamSi
and Clay. Clay, being fourth on
the lis. of candidates, could not be
voted for. and it was said that his
influence resulted i'll the election
of Adams. Professor Wooaburn |
adds that CLAW was afterwards made !
secretary Of state by Adams, which /
gave color to the charge, though I!
:. there was not bargain, corruP: |
or otherwise, between the two !
men, But Jackson and his friends |,
always felt that the people had been
deprived of their choice, and this
election is said to have increased
he Democratic movement for :. di
.ect popular choice of the electors
md for more popular system of
,artv nominations. By the time of
Jackson s second election, in 1892,
he. representative party convention
vstem was coming into use.
WHAT HAPPENED IN 1876
In 1876. Professor Woodburn goes
n to relate, there was a still more
arious dispute over the presfden-
al elechon-"a dispute which
.early illustrated an almost fatal
e@kness in the system of electing
president by the electoral col I!
Age. " In that election there were
80 electoral votes, 1S5 being neces-
ary to a choice. The Democratic
andidate, Mr.. Tilden, carried with
ut dispute, 1S4 votes, lacking only
me of enough to elect; the Repub-
lean candidate, Mr.. Hayes, had l63
-otes! We are told further that in J
our states-Oregon, Florida, south !
and Louisiana, with % !
lectoral yotes-there were disputed |
eturns. If in any of these states
he Democratic electors were found
o have been chosen Mr.. Tilden
-ould have a majority in the col
,ge and would be elected; while

MAPS OUT
HOUSE SURVEY
DETAILS
Senate Inquiry Will Be Widest
Ever Undertaken-5ased
on Robinson's Charges.

Plans were being laid today for
the initiation Of a District housing
survey by Senator Ball, chairman
Of the Senate District Committee.
Information relating to the de.
mand and supply Of homes and
apartments, the general scale Of
rentals, current construction costs,
profits and practices Of real estate
owners and dealers and other data
will be obtained from all possible
sources.
The Senate District Committee
will compare data furnished by the
District Rent Commission with that
from the local real estate interests.
the District Commissioners and from
various citizens organizations.
In this way it hopes to arrive at
dispassionate and accurate Ver-
dict upon the question Of whether
the District Rent Commission should
be- continued.
Charges BY Robinson.
The direct charge of Senator
Robinson of Arkansas that com.
bination Of real estate owners and
dealers fixes rentals by agreement.
will be one of the first matters
to be brought into the investiga-
ton.
Senator Robinson will appear as
a witness, and has some interesting
testimony to present.
1t is understood that tenants
will be invited by Senator Robin.
son to furnish him or the District
Committee with additional evidence
along the same line.
The survey probably will open
next week, collaterally with hear
ings to be held by the District
Committee.
Sentiment for Law.
The inquiry must be completed
by March 81, thus giving the Sen
ate approximately two months in
which to frame and pass, or reject,
the rent extension act, inasmuch as
the measure expires by limitation
on May %.
The sentiment In the Senate in
favor of the rent law appears to
be as strong al It was two years
ago.

Failure to underscore the new
subject matter in he bill. as re.

probably partially responsible for
failure to discern the hidden pur.

uov. to Saw, Your Eyes.

A famous psychologist says that our
minds are making US blind. We do not
know how to relax our minds, and the
strain Of hard thinking affects the
nerves Of the eyes more than poor
lights or close application to study.
To avoid having to wear glasses
premnture!y, this woman suggests that
We exercise the muscles Of the eyes by
rolling them around. up and down and
across several times. morning and eve.
ming.
We should close our eyes for short
periods each day and try to blot out
all unpleasant thoughts. This will re-
move the strain from the mind and the
muscular strain Of seeing at the same
time.
Keep calm. Do not get unnecessarily
excited over small details. and we shall
find our vision as clear at forty rs at
fifteen. according to this woman.

Size Of Ocean Cables.

It would perhaps be quite natural
Idea to hold that an ocean cable, con-
Meeting countries thousands of miles
apart. would be very large in diameter.
Also. it would seem logical that the
cable should be largest where the
ocean IL deepest. AS matter Of fact.
where the sea Is deepest, the cable Is
smallest. for the reason that cable
Of very large diameter would be very
heavy to raise when repairs were
necessary, and, moreover. where the
water Is very deep. there is practically
no movement on the bottom and q
small cable answers every purpose. In
shallow water, because 1t Is subject to
greater strains, being shifted about
more or less, heavier cable must be
used, and still heavier cable is found
at shore ends. These three sizes Of
cable are known as deep sea-" Inter.

spectively. one. one and three-quarter
and two and three-Quarter Inches In

Some Cases.

1t sounds very fine. But Is 1t really
wise? Does 1t apply to everyone, and
in all circumstances7
The truth is that while TRY, try. try
again" has been a spur and an encour-
agement to some, to others 1t has been
disastrous, for, If the success striven
for cannot be attained, to keep on try
ing Is a waste Of time and energy.
TO use hOmely Illustration, 1t Is
not the slightest use to try. try. try

Is not suited to them. The most in
tense perseverance will effect nothing
under these conditions.
So "if at first we don't succeed" In
doing something we wish to do. and
then try again, and fall again. 1t is
time to give serious thought as to
whether or not the thing we are trying
to do Is really possible.
1t may be that We are not properly
equipped mentally for the task we have
set ourselves. In that case we must
get the mental equipment, and then
tackle the task.
Or our temperament may be such
that 1t nullities our TRY, try, try
again" In that case we must trans
fer our perseverance to more con-
genial object.
Again, we may be trying to do some
thing for which the best Of tools. spe-
cially made and expertly used, are
absolutely necessary. We may be u.s.
ing the wrong tools, and using them
badly. Under those conditions success
can never come. Try. try, try again
Is futile.
