UNCLE SAM
TO KILL THE
HOUSE FLY

This promises to be a sad year for
the house-hy. The department of
agriculture is planning to inaugu-
rate a countrywide crusade against
him as soon as spring opens. Hun
dreds of scientists, aided by all the
laborers, all the ill-smelling drugs
and chemicals, and all the cruel
screens and mechanical killers that
make a concerted attack upon the
familiar pest for the purpose Of
driving him out of existence.
DR.. l.. o. Howard, head of the
bureau of entomology who is to be
ommandeT-in-chief Of the Fly Ami
hilation brigade, told some of his
plans for the campaign to the house
committee neXpenditures in the
department of agriculture. The first
big gun of the war will be fired in
the country districts where the flies
in the past have been allowed to
multiply without molestation by the
farmer. A special farmers bulletin
is now being prepared by the bureau
which will not only give valuable
fiy7killing recipes but will also dis
play in their horrid colors the var
ious diseases that are spread by the
fly.
During his testimony before the
committee, DR.. Howard urged the
congressman to consider the import
ance of law for protecting the
country from the Introduction of
foreign insect and parasite pests
that reach us on plant and nursery
stock. OF the seventeen serious tree
and vegetable parasites that are now
costing the farmers of this country
millions OF dollars annually, he said,
more than half had been imported.
The Egyptian and brownta!l moths
are among the most destructive OF
these foreigners. DR.. Howard sai1
that the United States Is the only
country of Importance In the world
that made no effort TO protect its
orchards and crops by a rigid quar-
antine at its ports.

RUSHING
JEWS OUT
OF RUSSIA
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRz.I

Lemberg, March 26.-Expulsions
of Jews from Russia is going on at
a rate wholly unprecedented in Mus
covite history, according to in
formation received here from across
the frontier today.
The refugees are fairly swarming
all along the border both Russian
and German territory. Suffering
among the eXiles is intense. Only a
few have been able to gather any of
their belongings to take with them
in their flight to a friendlier land.
Officers of Jewish associations
state that the work of expulsion is
proceeding at such a rapid pace that
the associations are swamped with
pitiable petitions for aid from the
exiles.
The Home Office which heretofore
stood with the Jews is heading the
movement to expel them from Rus
sia.
The reason for the sudden change
against the Jews is believed to have
its inception in a report that the
Jews were in plot against the gov
ernment
AS eXpulsions on such large
scale give minor officials excellent
opportunities for plundering their
victims, the plausible uncovering Of
such a conspiracy is consequently
popular among them. AS the fugi-
tives are scattered it has not been
possible to more than estimate the
number who had crossed the borders
of Russia. 1t is known, however,
that thousands have been exiled.
Hundreds have been driven from
the towns of Riga, Kazan and Wor-

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Now that the foot ball season IL nearly
over, interest in debating Is rapidly
growing In the several high schools. and
the season promises to be one Of the
most successful since the inauguration Of
the system. The decision Of the Business
school to lock horns with the other high
schools will make the race for the cham.
pionship still closer and will add four
more debates to the schedule.
Debating clubs have been organized In
all the high schools and In three Of the
schools-Eastern, Central and Business
try-out debates for the school team are
being held regularly. Technical ano
Western have had no try-outs as yet, but
will In the near future.
The interhigh school series will not
start until after the Christmas holidays
although subjects will probably be chosen
before that time in order to give extra
time for preparation.
: 4
The cadet companies Of the several
schools are we'll organized and settled
down to the work which will eliminate in
the championship drill next spring. The
last of them will be completely uniformed
within a few days. The weather thus
far has been ideal for drilling and is ex-
the companies at the end of the year. A. i
Of the schools are hopeful and express i'm
plicit confidence in their officers.
Though the season for socials and
companies are prepat ing for it. A feed
has already been given at the Eastern
High School.
Interest In dramatics is reviving in the
schools, several Of the clubs having an
exceedingly large membership this year.
The talks on dramatics Ben Greet gave
in several Of the schools last year are
thought to have interested several who
otherwise would not have thought about
the matter.
Dramatic clubs have been organized in
the Mckinley. Central and Eastern high
schools. while pupils in the other two
high schools will probably organize later
on in the year.
AS most of the schools give one or more
plays each during the school year, schooi
officials believe the organization Of a
dramatic club to teach more OF the art OF
acting seems better way than the meth
cd often employed of leaving the work
Of coaching until a play is ready to DE
produced. At one OF the schools it has
been found advisable 20 divide the mem
bers of the club, comprising some eighty
students. into smaller bodies OF ten, ana
citing each body prepare its own play.
Under this plan it will be found possible
to have a much larger number of plays
presented during the year, while in the
event Of an especially we'll cast play be
ing needed the teachers In. charge will
know at once on whom To depend for the
best acting and the hardest work.
Principals Of the schools will continue
the practice this year Of having talks to
the students by prominent men or special
lists In any particular line who may come
to the city After Thanksgiving day the
speakers will be sought.
The alumni associations Of the Eastern
Technical and Central high schools will
hold their annual reunions during the
Christmas holidays. No arrangements
have as yet been made by the Alumni
associations Of the two other high schools.

It Is coming to be recognized as only
common sense that motor tourists having
paid their registration fee in their home
should be permitted to travel In adjoining
states without being subjected to addi-
,ional regulations. 1t is no mistake to
say that the reciprocity features In New
Iorks automobile law have brought this
question OF a moe perfect interstate
uniformity into clearer light than ever
before. In brief, the New York law
rants to tourists from other states the
same privileges which those common
wealths give to the New York motorists.
