the bat.
Watch boxers, wrestlers, tennis
players, toe dancers, soldiers and
tight-rope walkers-it's the feet that
count as much If not more than

UHICIdI QDnCdlyH,
THE mail arriving from Continent
I al United States today brought
a copy of Senate Bill No. 2786, IN
troduced in the Senate on March 10,
1924, by Senator MCLEAN Of Con-
necticut by request. This bill IS en-
titled: "A Bill to poyide a Civil
Government for the Virgin Islands,
and for other purposes"
Idesire to inform the people of the
Virgin Islands that the Government
had nothing whatever to do with this
bill; was given no opportunity to
comment upon it prior TO its presen-
tation to the United States Senate
and, in fact, knew nothing concern
ing it until the printed copy was re-
ceived this morning. Further, inso-
far as this Government isaWalC the
party or parties orcqUested Sena-
tor MCLEAN to introduce this bill act
ed without the consent and APPROX
al of the people inasmuch as the
people as represented by the two
Colonial Councils have not signihed
a desire for a complete change in
the form of government of these
islands.
The danger of legislation con
corning the Virgin Islands being
introduced in the Federal Congress
without official backing is only too
apparent. Would not this bin, if
enacted, endanger the Federal ap-
preparation now made for the IS
lands? Porto Rico, from whose Or
ganic Act this bill is largely copied,
receives no direct Federal appro-
priation.

WALDROP LEADS
 IN VOTE CHECK
Managers Reach City Boxes In LabOriOus
 Recount

After seeing W. J. Waldrop's lead cut to pieces by discoveries of errors in the ballot boxes, and after having taken the lead himself at times during the week, W. B. Copeland was five votes behind for fifth place on the county board of revenue when managers of the recount recessed for the weekend Sat urday night at o'clock.
 The 24 precinct boxes that yet remain to be opened contain the ballots cast in the thickly populated districts of the city, and for this reason the work on the check has slowed down consid- erably. It is even possible that the count will be carried on to Wednesday morning.
 Saturday morning whe counting began Waldrop held a three votte margin over his contender, and this lead was slowly increased from box to box until he was eleven in the lead The afternoon count was more favorable to Copeland, for at one time he was within two votes of tie. Copeland was never in the lead Saturday, however.
 If Copeland is defeated, he will lose about $1,0O0 for the cost of the re- count. If he wins, the expense of the recount will be borne by the county.

1 Enomo process. Briefly, this is as fol- lows: Burn off, clean, dry, and smooth body. Apply prime coat and allow to dry on overnight. Apply enamel binder which is made with clean lacquer and about 10 per cent color. Apply two or three coats of color lacquer, allow to dry. Last coat of Enamo applied has about 30 per cent color and 70 per cent lacquer.
 At present lacquer finishes may be applied to car in from 6 to 10 days. but some shops are doing faster work and it is expected that within a few years the time will be reduced to a matter of hours Once a car is finished with pyroxylin, it can be refinished any color desired even yellow over black, in about one hour. It takes only 15 minutes to 30 minutes for the lac quer to dry, after which the car may be taken out on the street.
 The equipment used to lacquer car includes on air compressor, a paint tank and spray gun. The gun is equipped with a nozzle which regulates the thickness of the spray. The work CT sprays one panel, covering the parts not being sprayed with cloth or paper or a special compound which is easily rubbed off afterwards.
 The cost of having a car refinished with lacquer paint is now about the same as a regular paint job. but it is expected that as the system is devel- oped the price will come down.
