DISEASE MORE FATAL
THAN WEAPONS OF WAR
Skill in Fighting Epidemics Is
Bringing Results

A soldier who takes part in military
campaign expects to face danger and
perhaps to meet death The bravery of
men in peril is well known. The worlds
history is filled with stories of heroisn
No greater shame can come to a soldier
than to be proved guilty of cowardice,
says the Chicago Tribune.
But disease is far more destructive
in warfare than the enemys bullets
The deaths resulting from it are always
more numerous than those which come
directly on the battlefield. As a mat
ter of fact. the soldiers killed in fight
Ing are comparatively few. 1t is always
surprising TO discover the great NOR
tality with which disease is charged
Sanitation has made marked advances
since the civil war. 1t has gone far
ahead since the Spanish war. In case
of another American conflict many lives
will be saved because of increased
knowledge of disease and the methods
of fighting it. The experiments with
typhoid serum have special interest be-
cause of this consideration. The SOL
diers who submitted to the tests were
in the line of duty. If the study of their
cases gives the medical staff of the
army added ability TO cope with typhoid
fever there will be great gain. Taken
with other Investigations in the field Of
medical research. the incident is worthy
of general attention. Epidemics of
various kinds are fast losing their ter

BUILDING OPERATIONS IN
CITIES OF UNITED STATES
San Francisco Ranked Fourth
i'm 1908, Saw Reports

The total cost of the buildings erect
ed in the principal cities OF the United
States in 1908 was s546.467 $50, accord
ing to the geological survey In 1907
the cost of buildings in these same
cities reached a total OF $626,14s,S90,
says the New York Times. The de-
crease in cost in 1908. therefore
amounts to s7s.6s1,5oo. or 1918 per
cent.
The relative rank of the cities in
cost of building operations is interest
ing. says the Cement Age New York
is first, the cost of it's buildings ex-
ceeding the cost Of those OF its closest
competitor, Chicago. by s50.5S45S2, or
more than 75 per cent. If the cost OF
operations in Brooklyn, the third city
in rank. is added to that of New York
the total will be $163.SS4.622. or so
per cent of the cost OF the building
operations of the 40 cities included in
the table.
San Francisco is fourth in rank,
Philadelphia is fifth and st. Louis Is
sixth. Seventh In rank is the small
though rapidly growing city of Seattle.
which spent more for its buildings in
1908 than Pittsburg, which was
eighth, Boston. which was ninth, and
other cities much larger.

AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE

nicipal conditions and studied city
planning.
In London" says Drummer in the
New York Tribune. Il met the city ar
chitect.. He showed me the admiral ble

more successful in handling intricate
municipal problems than big artistic
things. but it was news to me to learn
that when the city displaced a slum

London. with all it's conservatism. buys

at the lowest figure that will insure
against loss on the Investment
Every time one goes to Europe he
is impressed with the necessity here of
some governmental control over the
general architecture and planning of
the city. particularly in the great
streets, squares and parks. This is
done splendidly, not only in London
and Paris, but Antwerp and other small
towns also offer us all kinds of sug-
gestions in this respect. The approaches
and plazas in front of the railroad sta
tions give chance to distribute the
crowds. The luggage and cabs are
taken care of and do not obstruct the
street traffic. We have been far behind
in that respect Our stations are put
on the edge of street, as rule. with
no space for the public to dispense.
THE great things in art. and
especially in architecture. that we ad-
mire In European cities may be con-
sidered their inheritance, as are their
cathedrals, their great streets, their
parks and monuments. But the modern
architecture now being executed on the
other side / do not consider equal to
the best architecture now being ex-
ecuted in New York. Some of the mod
ern things In architecture in Paris and
London are horrid, and are certainly
not the things we draw inspiration

MAXIMUM LIFE OF
THE LOWER ANIMALS
Grow. Tortoise and Elephant
Head List for Longevity

The maximum length of life of some
of the best known animals is as fol-
lows: The horse lives to a maximum Of
35 years and the donkey like period.
the dog does not exceed 25 years, the
rabbit from s to 10. the goose so. the
duck. the hen and the turkey a dozen
years. says the New Orleans States.
Among the animals having the best
established reputation for longevity
are: The crow, which lives 100 years:
the parrot and the elephant. which at
tain an age of $50 years. Carp. on the
other hand, appear TO have usurped
their reputation. which was based on
I'll understood facts from Chantilly and
Fontainebleau- They rarely become
centenarians.
The tortoise appears to be the animal
that lives the longest. and the record OF
longevity is surely held by one weigh
ing ESQ Kilograms. which was presented
in 1904 to the London geological gar
dens by Walter de Rothschfld and
which is said to have been born in 1850.

VARIETIES OF HERON
RAISE YOUNG TOGETHER
Three Species Found Near
Streams of Utah

OF the heron Utah has three species
tho great blue heron, the snowy heron
and the black crowned night heron.
OF these birds the great black heron
and the black crowned night heron are
about equally numerous in the localities
where both are to be found, but the
blue heron is much more widely dis
tributed. Some of them are to be met
with wherever there is stream or
pond or marsh says writer In the Salt
Lake Herald.
The two forms just named winter in
central Utah to some extent, this being
particularly true OF the night heron.
which | have found every winter dur
ing the last seven or eight years. In
January OF the present year. when Utah
la Ike was frozen / found six OF the blue
herons on the ice near point of land
north Of the mouth of Provo river.
The blue heron nests In Utah, both in
trees and In the tules. where they util-
ize the tangles of rushes as founda-
tion for the nest which is sometimes
huilt-of willow twigs-to a height of
from two to four feet. In May ] found
these birds nesting in the tops of row
of cottonwoods on the west shore of
Utah lake and during the first days of
June in large numbers in the tule
marshes of the Bear river sloughs.
Early in June of last year / found the
three species nesting in numbers in the
same locality, no attempt being made
to keep the nests Of one species sepa-
rated from those of the other two
forms, but the eggs and young of the
three often occupying nests within a
few feet of each other. This rookery
was in Brigham marshes, where there
were hundreds of the three species nest
ing together.

Election Promises

When you scratch a reformer you

NJ Fickert. candidate for district at
torney, at a meeting OF the union labor
party candidates held at the Building
Trades temple yesterday afternoon.
Both Fickert and Mccarthy were given
cordial receptions
Aside from a declaration that he was
being criticised because he had refused
to promise to put out of existence Ger
tain businesses that had a legal right
to exist, and that his election was al
ready practically assured. Mccarthy de-
waited only slightly from the speeches
he has made throughout the campaign.
The gathering was made up prin-
cipally of members from carpenters

was for a millionaire to escape punish

When you scratch reformer,' de-
clared the speaker, you will find a
CRATER. There are many grafters in
the reform movement"
Mccarthy told the union men of
what he had done to cement organized
labor into a more solid body of de-
tense and offense, and pointed to this
record as a reason why the union labor
ticket should be elected.
I have been criticised for my stand
on certain business questions" he said.
This Is because 1 refused to pledge
myself to eliminate certain businesses
that have a legal right to exist. When

advertise to the world that the city
has been rehabilitated financially and
politically. Good government means
honest government. and that is what
the union labor party stands for"
Mccarthy struck popular chord
when he declared himself for a new
city hall on the site of the present
building Likewise he received a volIey
of applause when he declared for an
economical consummation of the Hetch
Hetchy water plan and the construction
of streets, sewers, sidewalks and
schoolhouses.
He was patronizing in his references
to his opponents chances of election
declaring: Now, both Leland and
Crocker are fighting to see who will
finish second. Why, even my old friend
McDevitt, will run ahead of either of
them"
