WEST VIRGINIA HOLDS
PRIMARY NEXT TUESDAY
Nominees for Six Congressional

BY the Associated Press.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 81
An off year" primary campaign, set
for next Tuesday, neared close in
West Virginia today with little indi-
cation OF interest except In scattered
localities where contests for county
offices have been enlivened by local
issues.
Beside naming the party standard
bearers Of the two major parties for
the six congressional districts,
nominees for 10 seats In the State
Senate will be chosen. half Of the
Senate being elected every two years.
Each county also will nominate can.
didates for the Legislature and for
numerous county and district offices.

the United States. This inquiry fol-
lows the sensational developments of
the Fenning case before House COM
mittees at the session of Congress
which closed July 8, involving several
present and former employees of the
hospital
Engagements contemplated and
outlined In the annual report of the
superintendent to Congress last Win
ter would provide facilities for 500
patients. but would allow an increase
in the present population of the hos
pital of but 500. DR.. White declares
Many of the patients are housed In
temporary structures which are alike
a menace to health and constitute a
grave fire hazard, while it has been
found necessary to inclose porches to
provide necessary room.
Has 1890 Patients.
The institution now houses about
1890 patients, of whom 1000 are
listed as insane and criminally insane
from the District of Columbia, About
900 more are Veterans Bureau pa
tients, who under the law are eligible
for transfer to Veterans Bureau hos
pitfalls in the State of their residence.
Transfer of these patients is being
expedited as MUCH as pOSSlDle, pul
additions coming in every day for OBJ
servation and treatment keep the
number large. Little possibility of
the demand upon the hos
pital facilities is seen by DIR. White.
St. Elizabeth's Hospital is composed
of a group of buildings. many of
them temporary, erected during the
war to take care of the greatly en-
HANGED activities due to concentration
of so many members of the military
branches in and near Washington.
These buildings are not only badly in
need of repair, according to DIR.
White, but should be replaced by
of permanent character.
Estimates submitted to the Budget
Bureau place the cost of the new
at between 50 500 and $4,000

BUILDING PROGRAM
{ 5,CC0,00o Needed to Re-
Iieve Congested Condition
at st. EIizabeth's.

Moving toward completion of a
building program to relieve present
cvercrowding and provide for future
expansion, authorities of st. Eliza
leth's Hospital already have had q
preliminary hearing on u request for
IS 900 600 for improvements to plant
and structures and will soon lay be-
fore the Budget Bureau an itemiZed
statement of the needs of the Govern
nlent Hospital for the Insane. Con-
geStion at ST. Elizabeth = has been
the subject of condemnation by Con-
gress, and a local grand jury nearly
year ago brought N a report urging
enlargement to meet the expanding
needs of the hospital
Three reasons are urged by DIR.
William A. White, superintendent of
the hospital. for emharlting On an
extensive building program at this
time. They are: TO relieve present
overcrowding, TO permit of further
expansion, and to replace temporary
buildings constructed during the war,
which constitute fire hazards and are
inconvenient for proper care of insane
patients.
Investigation Under Way.
Hospital authorities have been urg-
ing a large building program for more
than three years, during which time
several requests have been trans
mitted to the Bureau of the Budget,
and DR.. White has appeared before
committees of Congress to point out
the needs of the Government inStitu-
ton. An investigation of the hospital

When looking for work, the hrst
thing to do is visit the barber and the
tailor. They have a knack for max
ing your services more marketable. If
you are seeking executive or clerical
work. :
Needless to say, these externals
only help you TO make the first con.
tact. After that, progress depends
more on character and intelligence
than on outward appearances. In the
future. employment methods are less.
likely to be hit and miss. The larger
corporations are already deyeloping
personnel departments to study
methods of picking workers. Some
are experimenting with intelligence
tests. whereby the employer may come
to some estimate of the inner man as
well as of hte outer appearance.
Intelligence tests are still in an
early experimental stage.
Meantime. most employers still use
rule o thumb methods. Tempered
optimism is contagious. On the other
hand, defeatism operates in geometric
ratios. The rest of the world will be
quick to revise its estimate of you

NEW YORK, December 22.-The
cotton market opened steady today al
an advance of to IL points on mttie
trade buying and covering which ap
peared to be influenced by buliiSh
view OF the weekly weather repoiN
and the somewhat steadier tone of the
later Liverpool cables.
There was further transferring of
long contracts from January to later
months, spot house brokers buying
January against sales of March or
May, but general business was quiet.
After selling up to 1892 for January,
prices held within a range Of to 5
points during the first hour.
The weekly weather report said very
little progress was possible in gather
ing cotton remaining to be picked in
northern sections of the belt, owing
to unfavorable weather conditions.
New Orleans Market.
NEW ORLEANS, December % Up.
The cotton market opened firm here
today despite poor Liverpool cables.
The weather was unfavorable, how.
ever. which induced covering. First
trades showed no change to 5 points
up and the market continued to ad-
vance after the opening until January
traded to 12.40, March to 1856 and
May to 1874, or to 10 points above
the previous close. Advices from the
Western belt indicated that the move
ment of cotton to market had been in
terrupted by rains and that the basis
on low grades has advanced. At the
end OF the first half hour prices were
steady and at the highs.

Sees Changes Coming.

Here is prediction, that after
more than 10 years. work we are on
the eve of a complete revision OF the
production of fuels for the motor In
dustry. BY this do not mean that
within a year we will completely
change our methods OF refining or our
methods of utilization, but that we
will greatly improve the methods of
producing and OF using fuel, so that
over a period Of years we will be able
to perhaps double the number of miles
per gallon. We know enough now to
begin this work, and industry always
responds to a new situation of this
kind. Most of our industries have
been by-products OF some fixed ma
terial or methods.
civilization have not been only tech
nical, but there has been advance.
ment in our minds. Just as long as
we recognize that we must build from
all phases, as we'll as from the ma.
terial side, we will continue to ad.
vance. II we can keep our American
factories from producing great in.
ventories which must be placed on
the market at reduced cost, then we
will progress along that line. We
must keep people wanting new things,
better conditions. in order TO have
progress, and therefore 1t is the bust
ness of the research engineer to con.
tinually study this situation and to
present to the public from time to
time such new things as will fit into
the normal progress OF business"

George Bernard Shaw should apply
to the Radio Corporation of America
for royalties.
Morally he will be entitled to them.
when and If present experiments in
the company's laboratories in te1e-
vision Tor seeing around the world by
RADIO result in actual successful
practice.
DR.. r. r Alexanderson, consulting
engineer for the Radio Corporation
and the General Electric Co, in an.
nouncing his work on such an inven-
ton, acknowledged his Indebtedness to
Mr.. Shaw for the idea. In his play,
Back to Methuselah." in a scene
dated 2170 AID. the British premier
is shown in conference with cabinet
ministers who are hundreds OF miles
away. The premier presses a button
and summons forth on a screen
images of individuals on other con-
tinents to whom he speaks by tele-
phone.
Thus, practice follows theory.
This was what Oscar Wilde had In
mind when he remarked that life
initiates art.
Once more it may be demonstrated
that what man can imagine he can
accomplish.
Mr.. Shaw's cotemporary, Fl. G..
Wells, an ex-chemist, makes many
daring forecasts into the distant
future. His speculations are likely to
be stimulating to scientists engaged
in practical research.
Welded to Research.
Big business In the United States
! is welded to the idea OF research.
The General Electric Co. spends
more on research than Harvard
University.
Among manufacturing companies.
the General Motors Corporation Is a
leader in research. Research Is the
means by which business keeps pro-
gressive and perpetually challenges
the accepted way of doing the ordi-
nary work of the world.
Charles F. Kettering, vice president,
is directly In charge of General Motors
research.
In explaining the aims of this ae-
tivity, Mr.. Kettering said: "A great
many people think that research is a
disregard for anything that is old, and
that we believe anything that is old
is wrong. This is not true at all. We
question everything. And If an old
thing is right, we try to find out why
it is right, and II 1t is wrong. whether
or not, with great advances that have
been maze IN materials ana produc-
ton methods, it cannot be corrected.
I'm our work we fail about 80 per
cent Of the time, and the only time we
do not fail is the last time we try.
We do not foolishly try things, but
from a complete analysis we know
that there is a known chance of the
particular problem being solved.
These problems are only worked upon
provided their solution is of immensely
greater value than the. cost which
it may take to solve them.
