TEN STATES
CONCEDED IN
DOPE SHEET
Democratic Committee Line
up Looks Bad for Re-
puOIiCanS.
By HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

EwI ASHINGTON, May 14.-Ihe
W chickens aren't Matched yet,
0 but they're already counted.
The tally-sheet of the advance
count. up at Democratic national
headquarters, certainly does look
discouragi7g for the Republicans.
Out Of forty-eight States. the
Democratic dope-sheet for the com
ing election comedies the party of
Lincoln and Garfield and Roosevelt
just ten. That many, with a total
of just ninety-six electoral votes. is
admittedly for the G.. O. P.
OF the remaining thirty-eight
States and 435 electoral votes,
twenty-three States with 249 votes
are confidently set down as safely
Democratic.
Fifteen Doubtful"
Fifteen States having 1856 votes
are put into the doubtful" column.
These are the States where the
battle royal will be waged to insure
the additional seventeen votes
needed-On the face of this advance
computation-and to pile up a safe
~ substantial majority.

As evidence of Democratic cock
sureness.' one notes that in addition
to the "Solid South" this dope sheet
made when the Democratic can
didate is still anybody's bet-p1aces
in that partys certain" column
Arizona, Delaware, Indiana, Mary
land, Missouri, Montana, New
Jersey. New Mexico, Ohio and West
Virginia.
These States, with their even 100
electoral votes, will, however, be as
confidently claimed by Republicans.
G. o. P. Makes Claims
Similarly, Republicans smile at
Democratic nerve" in presuming to
list as doubtful" the results in
California, Connecticut, Illinois.
Kansas, Massachusetts, Nebraska
and Washington. Democrats, how
ever. meet smile with smile and
maintain they have an excellent
fighting chance not only in those
normally Republican strongholds,
but also in Colorado. Minnesota, Ne
vada. North Dakota, Rhode Island
and South Dakota.
New York, they admit, is too tenn
peramental to risk placing in any
but the doubtful column, although
they are hopeful. And if Repub-
licans can get any satisfaction out
of Wisconsin's probable vote, the G.
o. P. is welcome to it!
Would Split Vote
To no small extent, States set
over into the doubtful" column
have been so placed because of the
expectation of a schism in Repub-
Hcan ranks. led by Senator La
Toilette and aided and abetted by
such men as Brookhart, Norris,
Ladd, Frazier, and congressman
F'rear and Nelson.
In event an Independent or third
party campaign is waged in mid
West agricultural States, Demo-
Gratis count on it merely splitting
the normal Republican vote and al
lowing them to walk away with the
electors.
That, however, is not the view
taken by either the regular or in
dependent groups in the G. o. P. AS
they see it, the seeds of insurgency
are sufficiently ripe in half dozen
northwestern States to enable a
militant Independent ticket to pile
old parties.
In which case, the total of 249
now claimed by Democrats as rea-
sonably secure, might be the maxi
mum they could win. Which would
be seventeen short Of election.

Red Light Irresistible
Lure for Insect Pests

A means for combating the winged
insect pests of tropical regions has
been evolved, by means of which the
flying bugs are lured into deadly bath
of acid and either drowned or asphyxi-
ated by the fumes.
It was found that red light served
as an almost irresistible lure for the
night-hyers. A red electric bulb. or q
lantern with red globe, is placed near
the vessel containing the acid solution
As the pests fly to the light the fumes
destroy them, even though they may
not actually fall into the bath.
To protect human beings from pos
,sible accidental contact with the acid
bath. the liquid is placed in a wide
mouthed bottle, to which is attached a
funnel with very broad fiaring cone.
The light is suspended directly over
this funnel, and the insects, stupefied
by the acid fumes, fall into it and so
into the acid bath.

RACE FANS HEAR
AS WELL AS SEE

An innovation in automobile race
announcing made a distinct sensation
at the Flag Day races at Altoona, A
Public Address System was the means
whereby Starter Fred Wagners voice
was easily and distinctly heard
throughout the throng that jammed
the grandstand at the Speedway when
Jimmie Murphy won the International
250-mile automobile race.
Wagner's voice was carried above
the noise of sixteen cars roaring
around the great wood bowl and the
cheers and chatter OF $1,000 fans gath
cred to witness the classic. Thus the
crowd was instantly and fully in
formed as to all the incidents OF the
race-incidents that ordinarily many
would neither see nor know about.

WAS AMONG FIRST TO
TRY OUT TELEPHONE

One of the few men, now living on
the Pacific Coast, to talk at the Cen,
tennial Exposition, held in Philadel.
phia In 1876, over the first telephone
instruments then being exhibited by
Alexander Graham Bell, is Walter j,
Thompson. of Tacoma, Wash At that
time he was president of the bank OF
New Tacoma. At the exposition Bells
invention attracted little attention at
first and 1t was not until Dom Pedro,
Emperor of Brazil, saw and enthused
over 1t that it was given much atten'
ton. Shortly thereafter Mr.. Thomp
son had the privilege Of testing the
instrument.
Returning to the Pacific Coast, he
related his experience and told about
the wonderful new invention and the
thrill 1t gave him to talk over the
wire to someone else at a distance
1t was not until 1878, however, that
the telephone was first introduced on
the Pacific Coast.

star. of the Gaithersbure Home Economics
Department, one of the local leaders of the
Oakmont 4th Club.
The Montgomery county group was among
the larger county groups attending the State
camp. They took very active part in
the general activities of the camp, so
much so that the Montgomery group was
looked upon as leaders. On Saturday
morning Curry Nourse and Mary Eunice
Chisholm demonstrated the making of
mullins. This was one of the best demon
strations given during the entire week.
This is State camp for All Club work
ers. Only those are allowed to 60 whose
work is up to standard and have shown that
they have the ability to benefit by this
opportunity and bring back something to
their clubs and communities. In other
words, this is leadership training camp.
Curry Nourse was one of the prominent.
outstanding members attending the camp.
Because Of her past record in All Club
work, her leadership ability shown in her
own community. her leadership shown
when with group and her ever readi-
ness to be of service to others. She was
one of the four girls selected from the
whole State to attend Camp Veil. held
at the Eastern States Exposition. at
Springfield. Mass. the week of September
Gath. She will demonstrate the making
of mullins and assist in the general ac-
tivities Of the camp.
This is the greatest attainment ever
made by a member Of All Club in Mont
gomery county. Curry was one Of the
twelve members attending the camp Sc
lected by the All Star Group for member
ship in the national organization. This
is the highest organization in All Club
work. Curry was consecrated into this
group at the All Star conservation exercises.
Members are selected for this All Star
group because they have shown ability to
be of service. Its motto is Purity of self
and service unto others"
These two honors are the greatest which
any All Club member may achieve. Curry
has surely proven to Montgomery county
All Club members that it pays to develop
ones All. namely: To train the Hands to
be useful, helpful and skillful. To train
the Health to resist disease, to enjoy life
and make for efficiency. The Head to
think, plan and reason. and the Heart to
be kind. true and sympathetic.
