MEETING WILL
DISCUSS NEW
AIMSHOUSE
Difference of Opinion Expect
ed to Mark Conference Of
Prince Georges Citizens

PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY,
Nd Oct. 26.-According to reports,
| the meeting of citizens of Prince
! Georges county tomorrow at Upper
Marlboro with the county commits
sioners, to discuss whether or not
the county should have a new
almshouse, may develop quite a
marked division of opinion.
Representatives of women's clubs
and civic and other organizations
| throughout the county are expected
to attend the meeting which has
been set for 1890 a, m.
Those favoring a new almshouse
| state the present one is unsatis-
I factory both as to equipment and
! location and it is suggested that
a new one be built in connection
with which accommodations would
be provided for mental observation
cases and detention of juveniles
and witnesses. 1t is argued that
these observation and detention
cases can now be handled only
through placing the person under
| observation or under detention in
jail.
{ 1t is stated, however, that there
is some opposition in the county
| to a new almshouse among those
who feel that the county has more
| important needs for which to pro-
vide. 1t has been suggested that
I instead of maintaining an aims
house in this county all the poor of
l 1T / q
! of the State, be taken care OF in
one large State institution.
| The call for the meeting with
! the county commissioners has been
broadcast by Miss Agnes DuVall,
! county social service worker, that
the commissioners might learn the
| true sentiment Of citizens of the
! county regarding the situation.
| Among important meetings sched-
| uled in the county tonight are
| the monthly session of the Citi-
zens Association at Mt. Rainier;
I regular meeting of the mayor and
town council at Brentwood; October
meeting of the Chamber Of Com
!merce at Hyattsville, and a mEet-
I ing at the home of Mrs. G. G. |Chn-

AUSTRIA TURNS
To WHITE
COAL
Republic Rick in Waterpower
for Vast Hydro-electric
Developments

The Republic Of Austria, all that
is left of the Austro-H Hungarian EN-
pire, is rich in waterpower sites
suitable for hydro.-electrical de.
velopment. according tos William
Ford Epson, United States com
mercial attache at Vienna. Mr.. Up
son reports that sites which might
profitably be developed could pro.
duce about 100 900 horsepower of
electrical energy.
This is particularly important
since Austria's pre-war supply OF
coal came from mines in Bohemia,
now part of Czechoslovakia. With
out coal of her own, Austria has,
since 121. been turning to water
power produced electricity, and to
date thirty seven hydro-electric
generating stations, with a total
capacity of los 800 horsepower of
electrical energy, have been put
in operation. In addition, thirty
one other hydro electric generating
stations, with total capacity of
100000 horsepower, are now in
process of construction.
This is all part of the plan of the
Austrian Waterpower and Electric
Commission which calls for the con
struction, by 1885, of hydro-electric
plants with total cacpacity of
100000 horsepower of electrical
energy.

Household Hints
NoIU for the Fail Clearing
BY SALLY E. DAVIDSON

Although many of us do not Look
upon fall house cleaning as divert
ing bit of amusement come to break
into the monotony of everlasting
household routine, it is nevertheless
just that. Done Systematically, it is
very simple and the results are just
as satisfying as though the house
wife has worked nearly to death. In
our house the cleaning begins in
the cellar and the leading player in
this underground drama is not the
harassed housewife but her hus-
baDd--Mr. Davidson.
Once the furnace is cleaned and
the asbestos covered steam pipes
and cellar walls are gone over with
the electric cleaner one has some
assurance that when the upstairs
part of the house is cleaned and
winter draperies are hung, dust
from the cellar will not seep up
stairs and settle pall-like over every
thing. Otherwise that is exactly
what happens and then the house
Wife wonders why her house stayed
clean such a short time.
Cleaning the attic, if there be one,
should follow the work in the cell
lar. At this time unpack winter
draperies and rugs and air them
while the summer things are being
washed and packed away. | have
found that it simplifies my cleaning
tremendously to wash all covers,
curtains? draperies and rugs and
put dhem away unironed. In this
way with my electric washer can
do all the washing in one session,
taking the curtains first, draperies
next, furniture covers after that
and, last, the rag rugs.
Or If one objects to having the
house entirely curtainless for day
or two then do one or two rooms at
a time. In this instance the upper
floors should be cleaned first. This
is a particularly good scheme where
one must do the cleaning without
help. In this way also one may do
only certain amount Of cleaning
each day or even each week and not
overdo it. Besides there is thrill
in store every time another room is
cleaned and ready for winter.
AS a rule, in house cleaning a
room, I wash the woodwork first,
or rather wash it after I have
gone over the walls and particularly
the woodwork with my electric
cleaner. using the proper flexible
hose attachments. If this is not
done the dust on the Woodwork,
when wet, forms a greasy film
which is very difficult to remove,
whereas once the cleaner has suck

Day after day the drivers of the
headquarters cars have guarded the
little place in front Of the Four

But last night someone slipped his

The experience in the Arctic,

We should have, indeed, nothing

u. S. PAUPERISM DYING.
By Arthur Brisbane

A Washington correspondent
says president Coolidge will keep
out of the Mitchell fight refer
ring to Colonel MitchelPs charges
as to general incompetency in the
management of United States air
forces and the suggestion that Col
onel Mitchell, lowered in rank for
telling the truth once, should now
be arrested for telling the truth
twice.
How could the President, who is
head of the Army and Navy, keep
out of the Mitchell matter? 1t is
not conceivable that his subordi-
mates, knowing of the Presidents
readiness to hear both sides of any
question, would undertake any &C
ton without his approval.
Inc people 10 HoI UcheNe "1''
the President will permit any &C
ton against Colonel Mitchell until
the entire aviation question shall
have been fully thrashed out, lr-
Guiding the fasco in the effort
to fly to Hawaii, and the catas-
trophe of the Shenandoah.
It is to be hoped that the in
curry when it comes, will not be
a whitewashing enterprise, but a
real investigation.
The President will want to know
why the protest of Commander
Lansdowne, an experienced airman
who had flown across the Atlantic
IN a di,igible, was ignored. The
President will not want any white
washing or any ofhand suppress
sion of Colonel Mitchell, who isn't
