Officials Left Posts.


1t also was stated that both Demo-
cratic and Republican poll officials in
one precinct of Bethesda district, at
intervals during the counting of the
ballots, left the polling place to eat,
leaving the ballots, the receptacles
containing the ballots and the polling
place unguarded and unattended.
The petition charges many other ir-
regularities on the part of both poll
ing officials and voters, number OF
which are identical to the allegations
made by John B. Diamond and Ra-
leigh S. Chinn, Democratic candidates
for county commissioner, who filed re-
count petitions earlier in the week.
DaWson's petition claims that 81
ballots were illegally counted for Pugh
by poll officials throughout the
county, while an identical number
properly marked in his own behalf
were not counted and returned to the
Board of Canvassers.
Unlawful Handling Charged.
In addition, he declared, 180 ballots
which were rendered invalid by ''rea-
son of the act on the part of the
voters in marking them" or by reason
of the illegal and improper act of
the judges of election in counting the
same" were recorded in Pugh's favor.
It is charged in the petition that
watchers and challengers of the DEM
ocratic party were unlawfully per-
mitted to handle and inspect the bal
lots before, during and after the
judges examination to determine
whether or not there appeared on the
ballots proper marks, erasures, ident1-
fication marks, ETC., in an effort to
determine whether the ballots should
be counted as whole.
In certain instances, it is alleged,
ballots were snatched from the hands
of the judges by Democratic watchers
and challengers and they were per-
mitted to scrutinize the same, contrary
to the rights of the petitioner.
Accused of Sleeping.
Dawson also accused certain other
Republican judges and clerks" In the
Wheaton and Bethesda districts OF
sleeping at intervals while supposedly
engaged in their duties in the count
ing and tallying of votes, leaving only
Democratic officials to inspect, pass
upon, count and tally the votes.
Polling officials in every precinct,
the petition says, counted for Pugh
many ballots which should have been
rejected because they were illegally
and improperly marked by voters with
cross marks outside the allotted spaces
on the ballots. with marks other
than those required by the statute
and with identification marks Mu-
| tilated ballots marked for Pugh also
were passed and recorded, the petition

Certain ballots cast for Dawson
were rejected by officials throughout
the county, despite the fact that they
were marked in every respect in ac-
cordance with law, 1t Is claimed In

the declaration that Russia has prom
ised military aid to France should she

The officials gave as their reason
the lack of translation of the speech,
but generally indicated they were of

interpreted"

appearing on the tally sheet when the
counting of the ballots was completed.
Dawson also claimed in his petition
that one of the Potomac district
Judges abandoned and deserted" the
polling place lone or more hours be-
fore concluding the counting of the
ballots" He said that the judge de-
clined further to participate in the
counting of the ballots, and without
arranging for a substitute, thereby
depriNng Dawson of the benefit and
protection of the laws controlling elec-
tionS.

HOME LAUNDRY
MODERN|ZED

The modern trend in home
laundry equipment is the same as
with other types of electrical ap-
planes.
The laundry is planned and
equipped for the convenience of
the housewife with the factors OF
health, safety, and the saving Of
time and labor foremost. The
modern electric washing machines
and ironers- have made the old
fashioned wash day a thing of
the past. The new wringer, spin.
ners and electric clothes driers
have made any day a wash day
rain or shine.
A bright and cheerful laundry
room with gay curtains at shining
windows, fresh paint and attrac-
tive floor covering, together with
the modern equipment, make
laundering a pleasure. The old
method of scrubbing with it's
backache and wear on material
has been replaced by the new me-
chanically safe agitator, vacuum
cup, and cylinder washers, which
force suds through the soiled
clothes, loosening and suspending
the dirt which is carried away in
rinsing. An electric plate in the
laundry provides adequate facil.
tiles for making starch. Most ma
chimes are equipped with hose and
pump to eliminate the need Of
carrying pals.
The modern rotary and presser
type ironers have been perfected so
that the housewife need no longer
stand while doing the family
ironing.

OpeningDqy
Visitors TO
Get Gifts

During the two days of the Elec-
trio Institutes formal opening
there will be a number OF valua-
BILE gifts given away.
Each of the larger gifts will
consist of an unusually attractive
and valuable set of cooking uten-
sils. There will also be a large
number of single pieces of cooking
equipment to be given as smaller
gifts.
These utensils represent mer-
chandise made by the various
leading utenSil manufacturers and
have been designed especially for
electric range use. There has
been an increasing demand on the
part of these manufacturers to
supply such equipment, since
there has been a tremendous in
crease of electric range users.
These gifts are extremely prac-
tical and any woman would be
proud to add them to her present
kitchen equipment. They are the
latest in design and are finished
in such a way as to have an un-
usual appeal to the eye.
Everyone visiting the opening
display of the Electric Institute
today and tomorrow will receive
information as to how these gifts
are to be awarded.

Electric DishWashers
Attract Husbands

The man of the house will find
many points of real merit in the
electric dishWashers displayed in
the electric kitchens at the Elec-
trio Institute of washington.
There is a good reason for his
interest, as recent surveys made
in Chicago, Cleveland and New
York developed the startling fact
that from 80 to 40 per cent of all
husbands help their wives do the
dishes-and how they dislike it!
Christmastime sales of dish
washers exceed all other seasons
of the year, as Friend Husband Sc
lects his gift for Friend Wife and,
incidentally, relieves himself of a
tedious and much-disliked task.
Reduces Work
There are portable models that
can be kept in any convenient cor
ner of the kitchen and rolled to
the sink for operating when the
dishes are to be washed. Then
there are built-in models that fit
in with kitchen cabinets for those
kitchens that are to be remodeled

What One Cent

Here are a few things which
cent will do, electrically speak

the Electric Institute.
All these estimates are based
upon a power rate of 4 cents
per kilowatt hours, which is
higher than the rate for Wash
ington and the surrounding ter
ritory.
It will make is cups Of COT
fee. or it will make 10 slices of
toast. It will heat an iron for
Is minutes, operate a cooker for
40 minutes or heat a waffle
iron for Is minutes. It will
heat a grill for Is minutes.
A cent will operate a radiant
heater for IS minutes or oper-
ate a health lamp for 80 min
utes. Or. it will operate an egg
cooker for Is minutes.
When summer GOODNESS is de-
sired. a cent will run a fan
for five hours.
A vacuum cleaner can be run
for one and one-half hours, or
a washing machine for one and
one-fourth hours for a cent. A
sewing machine costs a cent for
five hours of operation.
An electric clock will run for
1875 hours for a cent, while a
radio will operate for four and
one-half hours on a cent, and
the same amount will keep a
floor lamp burning for more
than four hours,

flor new homes that desire the last
word in modern equipment.
The housewife of today is
rapidly learning of the merits of
electric dishwashing. Dishes need
be washed only once a day iE the
family of four-usually after
breakfast when other household
work is being done. The CLEAN.
ing white porcelain tank of the
dishwasher provides a sanitary,
well-ventilated container in which
to store the soiled dishes until a
full load accumulates.
Dishes are prepared for washing
just as they would be for hand
dishwashing-a little scraping to
remove bones, prune pits, and
other larger particles. Instead Of
stacking the soiled dishes on the
sink, they are stored away in the
dishwasher for later washing.
The actual washing operation Is
much more sanitary than hand
methods. Water hotter than hui
man hands could endure assures
real sanitation. Each dish, glass,
and piece of silver is washed for
five or ten minutes instead of re-
ceiving a brief bath in the dishpan
and a partial rinsing on the sink
drainboard. Five minutes in a vir-
tual torrent of hot soapsuds re-
moves all grease, food particles,
and other food soil. Two quick
one-minute rinses in hot water
complete the operation.
Dishes and glassware dry per-
fectly without any streaks or spots
cleaning, clean, and ready to
put away. There is no lint from
the tea-towel. The dishes actually
feel cleaner.
Contrary to general opinion,
these devices have practically elm
mated chipping and breakage, as
the dishes do not move from their
positions in the rubber-cushioned
dishracks. There is actually less
handling of each dish than in
hand methods. No chance for
slipping from soapy. slippery
hands.
Pots and pans can be washed
in the dishwasher if the house
keeper elects to do so. Glass bak-
ing dishes, of course, are washed
with the regular dishes.
Years of development and re-
search engineering have brought
this new electrical wonder to a
high point of practical, efficient
performance. Modern styling adds
real eye appeal, which is needed
because this is an appliance that
must go into the modern kitchen
of today. One manufacturer has
developed a clever sliding rack de-
vice that permits the dishes to be
placed in the racks and then slid
back into the dishwasher for the
washing and rinsing operations.
Prices are moderate. One of the
portable models can be secured
for approximately the same cost
as a good clothes washer.
No household task is SO time
wasting, monotonous or disagree
able. When dishes are washed by
hand the housewife usually tries
to get the dishes out of the way
at once, and this is the very time
she is needed elsewhere-to get
the children off to school. hus-
band away to work, or go to the
movies with the rest s the family.

Electric Cooking
Always Certain

Cooking with electricity Is al
ways dependable and certain. The
results once obtained can always
be duplicated without variation
and with assured success.
Measured heat, automatically
controlled, gives a perfect product

Outlet in Ceiling
Need of Each Room

Ceiling outlets should be in
every active room in the home.
For a time there was tendency
to eliminate the ceiling light.
Two of the principal reasons
for this trend were because the
bare lamp fixture shed a cold,
barren light and because it was
not entirely comfortable. Both
of these objections have been
overcome almost entirely by the
newer, shaded lamp fixtures.
