Political Predictions.

VIZ E TAKE the opportunity to an
w nounce that the Literary Di-
gest, or rather its journalistic sue
cessor, will not conduct a poll on
next years congressional and state
elections. The burnt child breads
the poll.
Let others go around taking straw
votes, but, the way the Digest folks
feel now and, in fact, have felt ever
since last November, they wouldn't
start canvass to prove that two
and two make four. Because, look
here-what if it should turn out that
two and two merely make some
more Marx brothers or a double
set of Siamese twins?
Anyhow, the business of basing
cocksure predictions on half-cocked
estimates doesn't seem to be -four
ishing these days. Figures don't
lie, but the citizens who furnish the
figures may do so, either uninten-
tionally or just for the sake of a
laugh. The rise of candid camerasa-
tionalizing-say, we just thought up
that word-proves that a photo
graph of things as they are is
mightier than lot of loose sta
tistics predicated on what the vot-
ers may or may not do-and prob
ably won't, when the time comes.

bill collectors desire her signature

check. Speak of her to the newer
generation, and somebody will say,
"Who? Spell it, please"
She is all through, all washed up.
But, like the deaf husband whose
wife has slipped, will be the last
person in town to hear the news.
Having travelled a road which is

she still dreams of a comeback.

With q view to making q nation
wide survey Of the late improve
mentS and new ideas in the use of
brick and building tile for home
construction, the Structural Clay
Products Institute has announced
a home competition with prizes
aggregating 5000.
The purpose is to disseminate to
the building public ideas evolved
since 1928, looking to increased
beauty and utility in the construc-
ton of fireproof homes. With a

building upswing is showing a
definite trend towards homes OF
greater durability and lesser up,

Building contractors, realtors,
architects, designers, craftsmen
and engineers are eligible. Details
are being sent out by the institute
on request. They cover houses of
one, one.and-a-half and two story
buildings Of clay masonry, brick
or clay tile and combinations.
Two sizes o: homes are contem'
plated-thoSe not exceeding $4,000
cubic feet with five rooms and one
bath, and larger houses Of five to
seven rooms and one or two baths,
but not exceeding "a, 900 cubic feet.
The competition closes Septem.
Der 20. Entries will be judged by
a jury Of three realtors and four
architects selected from four geo
graphical divisions Of the nation.
Aside from the prize-winning en-
tries, the institute will pay for all
photographs or designs utilized in

FOREST. SAVING
PROGRAM IS
STUDIED

With their ultimate objective
being the formation of national
forest conservation program,
whereby the use of lumber can
be increased annually without de.
creasing the country's annual pro.
duction, approximately 200 lum.
bermen, State and Federal Off
Gals, foresters, directors Of farm
organizations and timber investors
gathered here today at the United
States Chamber of Commerce Of
fees to work out its program in
the interest Of the lumber indus
try.
Following on the heels of a two
day gathering at the Mayflower
Hotel earlier in the week by the
National Lumber Manufacturers
Association, the national confer
ence on conservation, Government
relationships and other phases of
the industry will continue for
three days and conclude with
specific recommendations to be
presented to State and Federal
Governments and the public to
achieve its goal.
Aims Of Program
In presenting a summary of the
recommendations drawn up by the
manufacturers association to the
conservation conference, Wilson
Compton, secretary-manager Of
the association, said:
I'm securing a reasonably
prompt and adequate solution of
our forest problem, a program
should be planned to rely to the
maximum extent practicable
upon private forest ownership,
management and operation,
with public action to the extent
necessary, to remove unreasOn-
able economic obstacles, to Gre
ate reasonably favorable cOndi-
tiOnS for sound private forest
management, and to develop a
more satisfactory pattern of for.
est ownership among Federal,
State and private interests"
The continuous production, or
sustained yield of forest resources
was cited as the ultimate objec.
tive of the industry, while the
method necessary to hasten the at
tainment of the objective was cited
as cooperation by State and Fed.
eral agencies, with enactment of
legislation recommended by the
Forest Conservation Conference.
Will Assign Duties
Recommendations to be drawn
up at the conferences three day
session here will assign definite
duties to public and private agen.
cies; private action by the indus
tries; state legislation and federal
legislation.
Among others addressing the
session today was F. A. Silcox.

Service.

FUNERAL HELD
IN D. T.. FOR
H. R. TALC0TT

Funeral services for Harry r.
Talcott, assistant chief engineer Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
who died yesterday after a two
week illness at his home, 1929 r
st. N. W., we're held today at his
late residence. Private burial was
conducted in Oak Hill Cemetery
with the Rev. F. Bland Tucker, of
st. Johns Episcopal Church, in
Georgetown, officiating.
A native of Richmond, Va, Mr..
Talcott, who supervised the build
ing of the first railroad in Alaska,
from Skagway up into the Yukon
(about 1900, came to Washington
as a boy with his parents shortly
after the civil war. He was gradu-
ated from Episcopal High School,
Alexandria, and the famous old
Rittenhouse Academy here. He
began his railroad career with the
Chesapeake and Ohio shortly after
leaving the academy in 1873.
He is survived by a brother, Ed
mund M. Talcott, Washington rep
resentative for the w. r. Grace
Steamship Company, of New York,
and sister, Mrs. Herman Hol-
lerith, also of Washington.

KENNEDY CALLS
D. {. REVENUE
MEETING

An organization meeting to
plan procedure will be held to-
morrow by the special House
District subcommittee named to
study legislation to provide the
District with additional revenue,
it was announced today by Rep
resentative Ambrose ]. Kennedy
Cd, Of Maryland, chairman Of
the group.
At that meeting it will be de-
cided whether the House District
group should seek to put a sepa-
rate measure through the House
granting the subcommittee $4,000
for the purpose of employing ex-
perts to aid them in the study
and draft of the tax legislation
or to attempt to have the Senate
insert an amendment in the Dis
trict appropriation bill providing
for such an appropriation.
Roberts Considered
Members of the subcommittee
are known to have William A.
Roberts, former Peoples Counsel
for the District, in mind as the
expert they hope to employ in
their study of this important leg
islation. Expressing the opinion
that he not only is familiar with
District problems, but is well in
formed as to what types of taxes
the District residents would pre-
fer, since they must shoulder
some additional tax burden, men,
bers of the subcommittee believe
Roberts is the man for the job.
Besides considering the tax
problem, the subcommittee will go
into fields Of possible reorganiza.
ton Of the District government
setup, and members have pointed
out that Roberts familiarity with
this subject has been shown in
that he several years ago served
on a committee which Investigated
this matter thoroughly and he,
personally, submitted a lengthy
report with recommendations.
It is possible that Representa-
tive Kennedy may turn the chair
manship of the subcommittee
over to some other members
probably Representative Jack
Nichols Cd, of Oklahoma, who
has expressed himself as eager to
get going on the problem and get
the bills through the House. He
has declared, however, that he
does not believe the legislation
should be speeded at the expense
Of improper consideration.
Favor Tax Limit
Along with Kennedy, Nichols is
of the opinion that any increase
in local taxes should be held
merely to the amount necessary
to meet the anticipated 1898
deficit of about 100000. He
feels that there Is no advantage
to be gained by increasing the
taxes to the point of creating a
surplus, which would only lead to
increased expenditure.
From their expressions 1t
would seem that the District
Committee will either kill some
of the proposals recommended re-
Gently by Representative Ross A.
Collins Cd, of Mississippi, chair
man of the House District
Appropriations Subcommittee, or
will scale the rates in those bills
down so that the revenue they
will produce will amount to some
where in the neighborhood of
$6,000,000, rather than $4,000, 900
as Collins estimates they would
bring if enacted as proposed.
