GUEST FLEAs GET MIXED.
Then They Go Visiting, Carrying
Plague Germs and Such.

How feas as guests get mixed up In
their aff1liations. with resulting COM
plexities in the spread OF infection IN
this country, is pointed out In report
received by the public health service
from Passed Assistant Surgeon George
W Mccoy and Maurice MitZmdin OF
San Francisco.
AS examples of the accidental distri-
button of these insects 10 adventitious
hosts, the report says that rat fieas
have been found on squirrels and squir-
rel feas on rats. AS both rats and squir-
rels showing plague infection have been
found in California. plague may be car
ried from. one of these rodents to the
other by means of fieas. All these f1eas
readily feed on human blood.
The report says there Is good rea-
son for suspecting that plague among
The ground squirrels In California origi-
mated from plague among rats through
the migration of ileas. Experiments
made In various way indicate that heas
from rodents will adapt themselves to
a host Of a different species. The inves-
legations also demons rate that fleas
from squirrels will attack rats even in
the presence of their usual hosts.

With President Taft the central figure
as an enthusiastic dvocate Of waterway
improvements, the meeting here of the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress,

tary OF War Dickinson, Gov. Judson Har-
mon OF Ohio and Count Won BernStorf.
the German ambassador, have indicated a
desire to participate in the meeting.
President Taft has appeared at pre-
viouS meetings of the congress and has
pledged himself to the movement. He has
but recently taken occasion to express
himself upon the general policy OF con-
serva,ion or the nations natural re-
sources placing waterway improvements
al the head OF the list.
Secretary Dickinson is greatly Impress
ed with the necessity of deepening the
rivers and harbors. Upon him as Secre-
tary Of War would fall the duty Of carry
irs out ANY concerted plan for waterway
improreM eEts.

MORE POLICE FOR PARK
NOT ENOUGH PROTECTION NOW,
THE CLAIM THAT'S MADE.
Proposition for "opening Up" Meets
Unanimous Approval-Views OF
Some Citizens.

As a further means Of inducing a more
extensive use of Rock Greek Park, As
sistant Attorney General Charles ". Pus-
sioner Judson the need for greater Do-
lice protection.
How about greater police protection
Yo' women and children who have leisure
to s.'cad the day in the national park?'
Mr.. Russell wrote Maj. Judson, land now
about the marking of boundary so that
tresoaSsing can be avoided, as a means
OF inducing a more extensive use OF that
somewhat wild region near a large and
varied populations"
Maj. JuGson says that le. viii give the
suggestion careful consideration.
Plan Widely Endorsed.
Endorsements OF the plans OF the Com
Vissioncrs for the. opening W of Rock
Creek Park by the construction OF car
lines and the building Of more roads and
paths are pouring into the District build
ing, and 1t has become evident that the
move is a popular one.
1T Is a satisfaction to me- p Shoe
sioner Judson. that our Commissioners.
even at this late day. are beginning to
realize the Importance of opening Rock
Creek Park as pleasure ground for the
benefit OF our people. The act Of Con-
gress establishing Rock Creek Park de-
clares that 1t shall be pleasure ground
for the benefit of the people of the United
States, and ] suppose that incluG(s the
people of the District of Columbia even
though we are deprived of the rights Of
America. citizens in other respects. The
t,tic II the land is vested In the United
States by virtue OF the act, and the
taxpayers OF the District OF Columbia
were required to pay one-half Of the
81 200. 900. the cost Of acquiring the land
for this great national park.
Mr.. Shoemaker's Letter.
Nothing was done in the way of its
for ten or twelve years after
the land was acquired. Since that time
few dangerously narrow roads have been
constructed. which enables the people who
have carriages and automobiles, at the
risk of their lives, to avail themselves Of
the great beauty of this vast tract Of
land. I have always been OF the opinion
that under proper restrictions a railroad
company should be permitted to penetrate
the park SO that people of limited means
men. women and childrensmay get out
there and enjoy the fresh air. OF course,
this charter should be granted under GER
tain restrictions, and 1t has occurred to
me that an arrangement could be made
whereby percentage of the fares charged
by the railway company would go to the
,st ablisllment of park fund to be used
for its improvement.
