Some parents look at this feature of
the contest with decided disapproval.
They fear the children are very likely
to contract diseases in invading such
places and handling the flies.
Another feature is that each child
must kill the flies and then dry them
carefully before turning them In. In
this way the children directly handle
the germ-laden insects.
Traps of every shape and descrip-
ton as well as all manner of ingenious
methods to kill the insects are being

BLIGHTED By THE THAW CASE

The recent conviction and sentenc.
ing to state prison of Dan O'Reilly for
his participation in theft committed
in New York serve to draw attention
to the remarkable series Of misfor-
tunes attending various persons con-
nected with the Thaw case. O'Reilly
was one of the lawyers On the Thaw
side and has never had a days luck
since he was mixed up in 1t. While
the crime for which he has been SEN
fenced and which disbars him as a
lawyer had nothing to do with the
case of Thaw. many believe that 1t
was the nemesis of the White tragedy
which worked his undoing. So tar
the lives Of thirteen persons mixed up
one way or another in the case have
been blighted.

ly who figured in the case Clifford w.

Mayor Schell Fears Water
Famine.

Mayor Schell, in a recent interview,
said that he will endeavor to curtail tine
extensive plan of street paving passed
recently by the Board of Aldermen, to
enable him to have sufficient funds TO in
crease the water supply He said that
the water situation was far more serious
than the public generally understood, and
that unless conditions were remedied
the towp would experience the greatest
difficulty in tiding over the summer
He thought that all municipal improve
ments, not absolutely imperative, should
give way to plans for securing more
water.
For several months one of the reser-
voirs has been leaking at the estimated
rate of 100, coo gallons day and is now
practically out of commission. The
Aldermen have been corresponding for
weeks with an engineer in Philadelphia
but for the reason that no one seems
to be responsible, repairs to the reser-
voir have been delayed. 1t is said that
the leak was caused by craw fish bur-
rowing in the side OF the basin.
The Mayors plan is to build another
new pipe line from the city to the reser-
voirs and to construct new reservoir
in the mountain 1t is estimated that
this will cost between $4,000 and
S45, 600. The city has the right to issue
bonds to the extent of $4,000 for water
improvement, and it is thought that
SO, 900 will be available from the city rev.
enues. Mayor Schell favors the imme-
date use of this amount and if it is
insufficient. the provision of more. He
wants work to begin at once, so as to
relieve the present situation.
