London Immune From Fleas

At the last meeting of the Quekett
microscopica1 club remarkable state
ment was made by the president (Pro-
fessor E. A. Minchin, F. z. So with
reference to London's apparent i'm
munity from fieas.
Minchin has for some time been ex-
perimenting on the transmission, to
the common rat by means of feas of
those microscopic disease-conveying
protozoa called trypanosomes- To
carry on his Investigations he required
a considerable number of feas, but
Notwithstanding that he offered a shil-
ling for each flea he was unable to get
any in London.
However being convinced that
British born fieas were not altogether
extinct, he made known his wants out
side the metropolis. and at last secured
an adequate supply of Pulex irritans
from the county of Norfolk.
Perhaps this is less a proof of flea
less London than a tribute to the skill
of the people of Norfolk i'm bagging this
most elusive of all parasitic insects.

Finland's Gladstone

Leo Mechelin, who has been described
as the Gladstone of Finland" has Just
celebrated his fiftieth birthday, SAYS the
Westminster Gazette. Mechelin's fame
is international, as his patriotic writ
ings in the Finnish cause have pene-
trated to Germany, France. Scandina-
via, Holland and Great Britain.
In 1903 Leo Mechelin was exiIed on
account of his passionate defense of
the restored liberties of his country
Two years later the decree of banish-
mert was annul1ed.
Doctor Mechelin's brilliant speeches
and writings brought him to the first
place in the Finnish senate, and there
is no doubt that in wider horizon he
would have taken rank a. one of the
foremost of European publicists.

ClubwoInen Yield

Holiday Affairs Are
uSufping Usual
Serious Work
By MARY ASHE MILLER

n
organizations this week, save when
they are engaging in amuse-
ments, for club breakfasts and yuletide
frolics seem the only forms of mental
relaxation offered. Not that an un-
usual amount of hard work is not in
volved when these affairs take place.
One committee has the task of ar
ranging the menu and then securing
the maximum of food at the minimum
of cost; another has to think of and
carry out something quite original in
the way of decoration and yet another
group of women must provide a pro-
gram of music and speeches.
Calendars are not yet out for the
month of January, but it is said in
formally that some excellent features
are to be given in several of the clubs.
Merchant marine league speakers will
be heard at several more clubs and it is
expected that some OF the leading
organizations will ally themselves with
the league
Much interest is being evinced among
clubwomen in the address of DIR. Luther
Gulick, which is to be given Tuesday
evening at the Fairmont, under the
auspices of the Playground associa-
ton. DR.. GuIick is one of the authori-
ties on playground matters and it is
expected that he will give much valu-
able advice and information on the
subject.
California club members will gather
Tuesday at IL o'clock for their annual
founders day breakfast, which is one
of the most important days in their
club year. 1t is for members only and
no outsiders will be present to hear
the club secrets divulged or to cavil
at such decorous frivolity as will be
permitted Mrs. George A. Clough has
charge of the program, and it is said
that number of clever speeches have
been prepared. Mrs. d. j. MacMaster
is in charge of the arrangements.
Laurel Hall club will have break
fast at 1890 o'clock Wednesday at
the Palace hotel, at which 100 guests
viii be present.
Mrs j. B. Hume will be the guest of
honor and Miss Christine Hart will be
the toastmistress at the table of the
president, Nine. Emilia Tojetti.
The other tables will be presided
over by
Mrs. W. B. Pond Miss Margaret Nrps+o
Mrs. F. D. Do"shogrg sfadt9u,Iar Mrs Mrs a. a. Lucas
ID. frg
Mrs. W. H. Barrows Mrs John II. Perine
Mrs. T. w. Collins
Ihe toasts are on the subject of the
Palace hotel and the rehabilitation of
the city and its social activities.
The Clionian club will hold its yule-
tide frolic Tuesday afternoon and
much merriment is anticipated.
The Susan B. Anthony club elected
officers at the last meeting as follows:
President, Mrs. Fanny L. Kellogg: first vice
president, Mrs. George Oulton: second vice
president. Mrs. Mary Sperry; secretary. Miss
isabel MtInSen; treasurer Mrs Clarence Clarke
