.HANGOVERS
BY LITTLE HEISKELL
POLITICAL HlGHLlGHTS
OF 1899

Now that 1899 is almost his
tory, let's give quick look at
the events which were news dur
ing the year:
Governor O'Conor takes office
after one of the big upsets in
Maryland poIitics-that of sweep
ing Baltimore City in the pri-
mary and leaving nothing for his
political rival, Howard jackson,
except an empty bag; here in
Washington County, the Demo-
cratic Party lost, through death,
it's ace political dopester, Barry
M. HartIe, and the vacancy caus-
ed by his untimeIy passing, sent
the Democratic State Central
Committee into oblivion as far as
action was concerned; while all
this was going on political ap-
pontments were being dished
out by the county's newest po-
IiticaI star, Thomas w. Pang-
born, the Governors personal
representative in this section Of
the State; the new Attorney Gen.
eraI, Bill Walsh shocks the timid
souls when he discovers that the
Job of uperintendent at the Pc
nal Farm wasn't under the Merit
Systen and a rush for that S.
o00-a-year post is on; Lansdaie
Sasscer, defeated in the Guber-
material race, has an easy time
winning the Congressional con-
test and goes to Congress, still
determined, however, to have an
other 90 at that Annapolis job;
Millard TaWes, who was elected
Comptroller of the State by the
greatest majority ever given a
State candidate, proceeds to dis
play plenty of political smart
ness by keeping out of the var
ious dog-fights in all sections of
the State and his gubernatorial
stock shoots above par; the City
Of Haeerstown starts construc-
ton of its new City Hall and
when it's about completed an ar
gument develops regarding the
names to appear on the plaque
the boys go into a huddle and
by vote of four to one decide
to forget about the matter and
have said plaque served w to
the taxpayers, plain; Mayor w.
Lee EIuin is named Commission
er of Motor Vehicles and he goes
down to Baltimore Town, recon-
mends permanent auto tags,
among other things and later
discovers that haIf-milion auto
inspection stickers are printed
"Marland" which enbarrasses
him no end; City Attorney Rich
ard Sweeney succeeds the Com
missioner and an argument en-
sues as to whether or not the
City Hall is paid for, he tosses
a lot of screwy ideas out of the
window and settles down to the
lob of being mayor; Howard
Bruce files for the Democratic
Senatorial nomination and Geo.
Radcliffe does the same; David
Winebrenner,of Frederick Town,
Bill Walsh, of Cumberland, and
Brooke Lee of Montgomery coun-
ty edge up to the National Com
mitteeman and make the Sum-
papers in one hop, but the Head

Glass Reduces SpOilage

Discomfort of humans and spoil
age of show-window goods, caused
by the hot rays of the sun, are be-
ing reduced by a new type of glass
scientists call aklo, which absorbs
the infra-red rays that carry ap-
proximately one-half of the suns
heat. The glass is being used by
merchants to lengthen the lives of
their show-window displays by keep
ing flowers from whiting, bakery
goods from spelling and fabrics
from fading, for example. Outer
panes of notwithstanding on sides of
a house or office most exposed to
the sun have been found to assist
greatly in controlling temperatures
and reducing the load on air-condi-
tioning equipment. Railroad COM
panies are using the new glass on
coaches to eliminate passenger dis
comfort caused by the hot sun pour
ing through car windows.

Moon Cycle Regular

The moon is dark body, and
we see it only because of the sum
light falling upon it. AS the moon
revolves around the earth once each
month different portions of its il
Illuminated surface are turned
toward us. When the moon is be-
tween the earth and sun, it is new,
and when it is on the opposite side
of the earth from the sun, it is full.
Two or three days after new moon,
a thin crescent is seen in the west
after sunset. The crescent increases
in size until the line dividing the
Light and dark portions runs straight
across. This is first quarter. The
lighted portion increases until full
moon occurs. The phases are then
repeated in reverse order as third
quarter and new moon succeed. The
phases cover a period of a little
more than 29s days on the average,
from new moon to new moon.

Feminine Beauty Aids Used
In Automobile Finishines

Use of rouge is not confined to
feminine faces. Enough rouge to
paint town red is consumed by
the automobile industry for fine pol
ishing operations. One company
alone purchases IL barrels annually.
Nor are diamonds alone used to
enhance milady's beauty. The au-
tomobile industry values diamonds
for another reason-they are used
to drill and grind tough metal. Pur-
chases for motor making may
mount as high as $l,000,000 year.
About az bars of soap and a gal
Ion of liquid soap for every 10
cars are consumed by one plant. It
takes five Angora goats to provide
enough mohair for the average Sc
dan, so the raising of Angora goats
has become major industry. Tex
as produces about $4,000, 900 pounds
of mohair annually.
Supplying brushes for motor
plants is a big business. Annual
consumption in motor manufacture
totals $4,000 camel and badger
hair brushes, and $4,000 with sitter
bristles.
About 500 pounds of sand is used
in the molds made for casting each
automobile engine block.
The rag man is big man in the
motor factory. For washing and
polishing cars, one plant buys 100, 900
yards of gauze and 1900 pounds Of
ticking each year.
Among other unusual materials
used in the motor industry are
agate, arsenic, borax, garnet, gold,
jute, mercury, mica, onyx, plati-
mum, radium and silver.

France Reoccupies Vast
Central African Region

Another headache for the map
maker is the shifting boundary be-
tween Italian and French territory
in north-central Africa. Tibesti, a
$1,000 square mile area between
French Equatorial Africa and the
italian dependency of Libya is being
reoccupied by France, according to
reports from Europe. This action
follows the reputation by Italy last
December of the Rome pact of 1885.
''Under the agreement at Rome"
points out the National Geographic
society, "Tibesti, along with other
territory, was coded to Italy by
France in what was then called the
final settlement of their long-stand-
ing colonial account.
''This region, wild and mountain
GUS, holds the highest peak of the
entire Sahara area-the volcano of
Emf Koussi, with an altitude of
some II 900 feet. Mountain and des-
ert at the same time, Tibesti has
conditioned its inhabitants to a
marked degree. These natives, the
Tibbus, have tremendous qualities
of endurance, coupled with monkey
like agility. An independent At
rican race, black without the typ
ical physical characteristics Of the
Negro, they number no more than
10000, figure which represents a
sparse population of only one per-
son to every five square miles. AS
fighters, the Tibbus use, among 9TH
er weapons, the knife, which they
throw with great skill"
