WOMEN TO DECIDE BITTERCAMPAIGI1 Their Vote at Los Angeles Election Tuesday, Most Important of All. (National News Association) LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5. Today the women of this city will decide a bitterly contested municipal fight between the Socialists and tbo Good Government forces at tbe polls. Party lines
have been swept aside. Both tbe Good, Government and Socialist parties look j to tbe women voters for election and both admit that tbe women hold the balance of the power. Job Harriman leads the Socialist ticket and Geoige Alexander, the present mayor, leads the Good Government forces. The total male registration is 107,000. The suffragette registration is 83,0o0. The male vote is conceded by both parties to be about evenly divided, but what the women's sentiments are is a matter of conjecture. At the Harriman headquarters it was stated today that the Socialist cohorts will sail into office with a safe majority of 10,000. They base their calculations on the large registration from the poorer quarters of the city and the fact that the October primaries showed a polled majority in the Socialist favor. Are Also Confident. The Good Government supporters are equally sure of victory and claim the election of their ticket by 20,000, basing their predictions on the past performances of the party supporters and the bitter campaign made against Socialism by their speakers and that portion of the press devoted to their party. "Mere man" has been wedged to the wall by the Importance of the suffrage vote. The Socialists were the first to take advantage of the amendment giving women the ballot. They started a campaign urging registration among the wives of their supporters that brought the registration up by leaps and bounds. The Good Government forces were not far behind and every kind of a spectacular scheme was employed to Interest the women and secure their enrollment. Special election officers were appointed, with power to secure the registration of the women at their homes. Schools were Inaugurated by both parties to teach the women how to mark and fold the ballots incidentally inculcating the precepts of the party they favored. The women entered into tbe spirit of the contest and many prominent society leaders as well as women from the poorer quarters of the city took the stump in advocation of their candidates. Fire works and cigars were supplanted by light refreshments, and the male electorate was almost forgotten in .the scramble to secure the women's vote. It is believed that seven ty-five percent of the registered electorate will go to the polls and the campaign predictions of both parties are based entirely on tbe probable. vote of the women. The Socialist tight has been against the "Goo Goos" or Good Government party principles. They claim that antagonists have evolved a party that is similar in some respects to the Abe Reuf regime in Ban Francisco, and have made their fight along these Hues, with an attempt to draw a "class distinction" between "capital" and- "labor." Fight the Socialists. The good government forces have waged a bitter war on Socialist principles and their papers have been full of glaring headlines stating: "The triumph of Socialism means business stagnation and idleness!" Their propaganda baa been a direct appeal to the prosperity of the community. Both parties carry a full ticket to the polls. The respective candidates have been indorsed Sy the partisans aligned against each other. On the Socialist council ticket a negro is running and two women have been indorsed by the- Harriman supporters fcr the board of education. The Socialist campaign began several months ago, shortly after the arrest of the two McNamara brothers, who are charged with dynamiting the Times building here. Alexander Irving was the first organiser sent here, and through him the city precincts were organized. The Good Government supporters, rallied behind Mayor Alexander, cornprice some of the most influential citizens in Los Angeles and have made ' the Times episode a prominent feature Cascorets Work While Yon Sleep Salts, Calomel and Cathartic Pills art vlolant they act on bowels as pepper acts In nostrils.

How Long Your Nails Grow. The growth of an average finger nail is about one thirty-second of au inch a week, or nearly one and one-half Inches In a year, so" those aristocratic Chinese who proudly exhibit nails six to eight inches in length must have refrained from cutting them at least four to six years. Finger nails grow faster in tbe summer than in winter. The nail on the middle finger grows faster than any of the others, and that of the thumb is slowest in growth. The nails of the right hand grow fast- i er than those of the left. A nail is supposed to reach its full growth in , iuul 'l "" ""JUIU3- ; mis rate a man seventy years oiu would have renewed his nails 262 times. On each finger he would have grown nine feet of nail, or on all bis fingers and thumbs no less than ninety feet of nail. St Louis Republic. ' Odd Signs. A tinman in the south of England has a sign which reads, "Quart Measures of All Shapes and Sizes Sold Uoro." At a market town in the midlands the following placard was affixed to the shutters of n watchmaker who had decamped, leaving his confiding creditors mourning: "Wound Up and the Mainspring Broke." In one of the principal streets of another small town the same shop was occupied by a doctor and a shoemaker, tbe man of medicine having the front and he of tbe leather working in the rear. Over the door hung the sign. "We Repair Both Body and Sole." On the window of a coffee room there one day appeared the notice. "This Coffee Room Removed Upstairs Till Repaired." Playful Monkeys. Apes and gorillas are usually vicious tnd resentful and less addicted to playful tricks than the common monkey. Indeed, tbe monkey, as we all know. Is a trickster both in his wild ln domestic state. In their native forests monkeys spend hours In swinging from the branches of trees, suspended by their talis, and chattering and grimacing with evident signs of delight.

The next year the number was 200,000 and in 1883 40,000. Only 300 were reported in 1S84, and after that there was none at all. In 1SS3 Sitting Bull and his band, with some white hunters, killed the last 10,000 of the northern herd. The last survivors, twenty-eight in number, were killed on the Big Porcupine in 1S8G and were mounted for the National museum. With that the wild buffalo of North America practically ceased to exist except for a few in the Yellowstone National park and a handful in the wilds of Athabasca. Outing.

The oldest of problems is that of squaring the circle i. e., of telling the precise length of the side of a square whose area will equal the area of a given circle. The first attempt we know of was made 500 years before the exodus of the Jews. .Since at least 1300 B. C. Chinese brains have turned dizzy over it. The oldest mathematical book in the world written about 2000 B. C, by Ahmes, scribe to an Egyptian kins, and now resting in the British museumpretends to solve it, but it doesn't. Our old friend Euclid prudently avoids the subject. Books have been written to prove that it is impossible, others to prove the impossibility of proving its impossibility, others again to prove the impossibility of proving its possibility. One scientist, a professor of Zurich, adopted some fifty years ago a rather original method of tackling the problem. He divided the floor of a great loft into thousands of small squares and spent his days in solemnly throwing needles about and noting tbe number of times they fell clear of the balk lines, but it did not help him much. The important ratio which would settle the question has been carried to S00 places of decimals. And still it is not exact. If you- have a taste for sums you can start and carry it to 600 and see what happens. At any rate, you will soon find your hair getting grayer. London Answers. PRACTICAL ECONOMY.

Lots of folks have tried to remove a stubborn screw from a piece of wood, a screw that won't budge at all, and have in tbe end given it up as a bad job. Well, if such a thing occurs again don't give It up. don't lose your temper or exert yourself, but try this recipe for removing the screw: Heat a poker red hot and then hold it against the screw head for a little while; wait a few minutes for the screw to cool down, when it will be found that the screw can be removed quite easily with the same screwdriver that just previously would not perform the work. The explanation is quite simple. The red hot poker heats the screw, and tbe screw expands and makes the bole it is in just a wee bit bigger. Tbe screw then cools down and resumes its original size, leaving the hole in the wood a size too large and there von are. New York Sun.

SMOKELESS POWDER.
It Cam Through Experimenting High Explosives. Tbe idea is very general that smokepowder in being practically j smokeless achieves its greatest end. When the idea of modern long range guns was conceived it was at once an parent that the eld black powder lackj 1 explosive force, and thousands of experiments were made with various chemicals to procure a powder of high explosive properties, and this was at last accomplished. When the new powder was tried. much to the surprise of every one it was found that practically no smoke Smokeless powder, though a great boon to the sportsman, is of questionable value on the battlefield, so far as Its smokelessness is concerned. The smoke clouds of old days were frequently most advantageously used to cloak movements of troops and batteries and really interfered with the enemy much more than with the troops creating the smoke.
