Animals Protection Day introduced

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
VIENNA, June 1, 1872
Animals Protection day. is a praise
worthy innovation of the Vienna school
board which has been introduced at the
suggestion of the Austrian society cor
responding TO the S. P. c. A. In all
elementary and grammar schools the
teachers of each class gave lectures on
the duty not only of avoiding cruelty to
animals, but also of protecting wild
plants, especially when rare. from de-
struction.
In the afternoon of the same day the
boys and girls were taken for excursions
in the woods round Vienna in order that
they might see how the lesson could be
applied.

COURTS PROBABLE FATE
TPUTT|NG ALL AT SEA
Final Disposition of Commerce
Tribunal Is PuzzIing
Issue.
What will happen to the Commerce

What will happen to the Commerce
Court?
The legislative. executive and judicia
appropriation bill provides for its abol-
ishment and the President perhaps will
veto the bill. The sundry civil bill pro-
vides for an auction sale of the furni-
ture of the court. If the President does
not veto the latter bill, and If 1t is
enacted in its present shape, then the
court will live by virtue of the presi-
Dental veto, and to all present appear
ances will have to hold its sessions on
the sidewalk
Also, the famous lighterage case. which
has figured SO prominently in the testi-
mony In the Archibald hearings before the
House judiciary committee. has been sent
back to the Commerce Court from the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Lawyers Are at Sea.
If the Commerce Court is wiped out of
existence, where will this case go? Law
yers and others interested in the Com
merce Court are at sea. Several i'm
portant cases are pending there. and
other cases are ready to be presented.
However. with no one knowing exactly
what will happen to the court the sit
uation is something akin to chaos.
Suppose the President should veto the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill. That would leave the
Commerce Court in existence, but would
not appropriate money for its continuance
right away. Then suppose the sundry
civil bill should be enacted. Would q
strong armed force of auctioneers plant
a red flag and ring a bell in front of the
court and move the furniture out into
the street?
Probably not, but there was consider
able talk in this city last night about the
probability of the President vetoing the
sundry civil bill just for the sake of that
court furniture.

TAUGHT TO USE FISTS.
Swiss Gendarmes Are Learning the
Art of Boxing.
Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
GENEVA, June 1, 1912
NJ. Shampoo. chief of police of the
canton of Vaud, has decided that all the
gendarmes under his direction shall learn
the art Of boxing, and has opened a
school for this purpose. The gendarmes.
1t is stated. greatly appreciate the oppor-
tunity. and are enthusiastically taking
lessons.
1t may be explained that the Swiss
gendarme does not carry a truncheon,
but a revolver. which, however, he is not
allowed to use unless his life is in ac-
tual danger. A revolver shot is always
followed by an inquiry, and If the un-
fortunate gendarme cannot prove that
he was defending his life he is punish
ed or even dismissed from the service.
A knowledge of boxing will however,
put him more on level with the rougher
classes.

with several thousand playground
children participating in the campaign.
the destruction of the fly in Washington
should proceed at the rate of millions
monthly said DR.. Murray. "At this
rate. the city rapidly will become flyless.
and there Is no doubt in my miad but
what, as result of the insects that al
ready have been destroyed this season,
the insect population next summer will
be smaller than 1t ever has been. The
children are the ones to rid Washington
of the pest, and l believe they are going
to keep at the task until they have made
a success of ii and will be deserving OF
the gratitude of every resident of the
capital"
An army of fly killers, working on
8th and nearby streets extended, is
killing flies in such great numbers that
its members do not have time to pick
up the dead insects. but have pressed
into service small boys who follow in
the track OF the slaughterers and col
leet the debris. Some Of the swatters
have such true aim and fire so rapidly
that their work resembles that of a
trip hammer.
On cool days, or following a rain, the
sharpshooters have found that large
numbers of flies gather on the sunny
sides Of buildings or fences, and as
they bask in the warmth they show a
disposition not to move any more than
necessary, making it an easy matter
to kill them.
Boys engaged in ridding the city Of flies
soon learn the habits of the insects, and
unless the fly residents OF the District
change their mode Of living they are
more than likely to come to an untimely
death. The unusually cool weather of
this summer. according to health authori-
ties, undoubtedly has not encouraged
breeding to such an extent as the hot
weather of past years, but, nevertheless.
energetic fly killers have found plenty of
the pests The average daily quota of
flies being turned into the health Office,
room g. District building. is increasing.
AS IL by magic, thousands of flies
which have been in seclusion during the
rain of the last few days came out to-
day to feed and dry out. Dry food in
traps attracted an unusual number Of
them, and 1t is expected that tonight and
tomorrow the contestants will bring in
large numbers of them Most OF the con-

! Spirited competition between the nine
Fairgrounds of Washington will, it Is ex-
pected. follow the decision of the Play
| grounds Association to encourage the
children who patronize the recreation
centers to participate in The Stars anti
fly crusade
II is almost certain that the children.
instead of engaging in the warfare as
individuals, will form fy-fghting squads
to represent the respective Fairgrounds
which they attend. The value of organi-
cation In campaigns of Z g kind has been
| proved by the success of Layton H. Bur
dette. who with the help of scores or
boys at the Industrial Home School, won
two anti-fy campaign prizes. and the
Fairgrounds children are considering
adopting this plan. Many sections of the
city into which the war against disease
has not been carried will be covered by
the young folk.
The youths are anxious to contribute
something 10 the maintenance of the in
stitutions which afford them SO much
pleasure and recreation and believe that
by organizing they may be able to cap

Importance of co-opsration.
In addition. 1t is pointed out. the chill
dren realize that the undertaking is one
directed solely toward improving the
health conditions OF the city and believe
that the higher degree of cooperation
they effect the more successful they will
be in bringing about the results desired
Then there is the distinction of belong
ing 10 the playground which makes a bet
ter record than the other Fairgrounds in
movement of such civic Importance
and as there has never been Interplay
ground competition in undertakings other
than those of an athletic nature. the plan
of fighting the fly in playground squads,
rather than as individuals. will, 1t is ex-
pected. be adopted.
The value of the prizes to be awarded
| by The Star between now and the end OF
the campaign IS $50. For June, July
and August the first prizes are $40, with
smaller prizes ranging downward in value
on the records Of the preceding months.

500 TO seventh prize of S.. will be

Competition to Be Keen.
While Layton II. Burdette of the Indus
trial Home School has won two prizes
and bids fair to capture the laurels OF

Letters to Instructors.

Director Of Fairgrounds Edgar S. Mar
tin is preparing a letter to be sent to the
instructors of the nine Fairgrounds con-
cernng the rules governing the anti-f1y
cappaign. The instructors will be asked
to arouse the interest of the children In
the work and keep the Importance OF
the subject constantly in their minds
The decision of the Fairgrounds Asso-
citation to attempt to interest the chill
dren patronizing the recreation parks in
the campaign was announced Saturday.
1t marks the beginning of new policy,
as heretofore thee hildren have had only
play to occupy their minds. The play
ground officials believe that they should
be taught lessons of civic usefulness. and
selected The Stars campaign with which
to inaugurate the new policy.

grounds has been about 1000. With
the closing Wednesday of the grade
schools the attendance is expected to
increase to 5000 daily. The tremendous
slaughter of flies that will be brought
about If an army of this size takes
the field against the insects is meal
culable.
The winning of one-ifth of the
prize money by any one of the play
grounds would constitute a substantial
gift to be made by the children to the
Fairgrounds Association.
So elated have Layton Fl. Burdette and
his Industrial Home School associates be-
come over their continued successes that
they have issued challenge to fy-ight-
ing clubs for the remaining months of the
crusade. 1t now seems practically as
sured that the challenge will be accepted
by the Fairgrounds and Burdette and
his friends will be furnished all the COM
petition they are looking for.
