there are who believe that South

itself two years < when it ave
a total vote of 106,S55, and certainly
there is no ann Of reasoning
whereby we can figure that the vot-
ing strength Of this State could be
increased, in the space of two years,
by such figures as 35,83l--and this
weeks returns. Such al increase
would indicate that the States white
population had in two years been
increased by tho enormous sum Of

DEADLY FOE, THE FLY,
DEPICTED BY HOWARD
Evil Work of NefariouS Insect
Described in Illustrated
Lecture.

If every householder In Washington
had been able to hear the lecture by DR..
l.. o. Howard of the United States bu-
reau of entomology, yesterday afternoon
and last night before the National Geo
graphic Society, the slogan, Swat the
Fly!' would take on added significance,
and flies and mosquitoes would find no
rest for the soles of their feet in the
National CAPITAL.
DIR. Howard announced as his subject
MANS Deadliest Enemies, Flies and
Mosquitoes" The lantern slides and
trate the talk demonstrated the fact that
the title was not an exaggeration.
Flies swarming over all kinds Of filth
and then crawling over and nibbling at
the cubes Of sugar in a cut glass bowl
and flies feeding on dead fish and animals
and then trailing their polluted feet over
the rubber nipple Of a babys feeding
bottle wees. just a few Of the fly pictures
shown.
Origin Of Mosquitoes.
The breeding places Of mosquitoes were
shown, and the statement was made that
these disseminators Of malaria and fever
do not always require stagnant pools or
bitches in which to propagate, but that
the water in rain barrels. the little that
is left In empty tin cans after a rain and
even the moist thickets of shrubbery and
grass, afford breeding places where
anopheles and culex multiply The diff
ference between the malaria and the nom
malaria mosquitoes was described and
illustrated. so that any one who heard
DR.. Towards lecture will have no trouble
hereafter in Identifying the species.
The lecture, which was the last in this
years course, was, in many respects. the
most interesting and important Of the en-
tire series.
Announcement was made that within
the last few years the National Geo

in size, and that it's membership is now

The highest type of vaudeville acts now
before the public are the Tabloid or
one-act plays that are attracting the at
tention Of the leading playwrights OF the
times. Belasco, Shubert, Thomas and
others are putting their best ideas in this
shape. so slight are the lines between the
'Iegit'' and variety today. A splendid
example of this modern idea Is coming
to the COSMOS next week in HIS Fa-
theirs Son." an intense dramatic playlet
from the pen of Arnold Thorne. 1t Is
splendid1y cast with players OF the high
est calfber. including Walter H. Brown,
for ten years Mansfield's right-hand man
and support; Edwin Macklyn, who played
the part of the Son in Madame X'': A.
J. Caldwell. who played the Dope in The
City," and Edward Maynard of the orig
inal Paid in Full and THE Girl COM
panies. The playlet deals in a wonder
fully powerful manner with one Of the
most vital problems Of today, the 'herit-
age of criminal tendencies. and is one
of the best things Thorne has done. The
action is startlingly vivid. and the sketch
is little short of a Sensation in vaudeville
circles.
