gin Next Week.

public schools of this city reopen after

All repairs will be finished by the time

Five New Buildings.
Five new buildings will be opened this
year-Ormond Wilson Normal School, at
11th and Harvard streets; Randle High
lands School, at Randle Highlands; the
Burrville School, at Burrville. D. c.; the
school commonly known as the Mill
tary Road School," at Military and Rock
Creek roads. and the school. unnamed, at
North Capitol and o streets
Though the new normal school is not

normal students will have to continue in
the Franklin building until that time
some of the rooms will be finished about
the time the schools open. and the pupils
now attending the two portable buildings
at the Ross School will occupy these
rooms. The completion of the Randle

Persons Owning Title to Property
Condemned Slow in Acting.

The unusual spectacle of the United
States government having to urge the
presentation of claims against IL is said
TO eI in reference TO the payment for
land in the two squares recently con-
demned for the enlargement of the Cap
ito grounds. Assistant Attorney General
Strickland who is in charge of the matter

some OF the property owners are slow in
presenting abstracts of title. without
which he cannot pay the awards given by
the commission.
Claims TO the extent Of $4,000 remain
unpaid. II is stated. and Mr.. Strickland
is anxious 10 dispose of the claims aris-
in9 out of the two squares soon
possible, in order to devote his attention
to the condemnation of other property in
cluded in the area to be Incorporated into
the Capitol grounds.
Owners of land valued by the commits
$ion AT S6O.0O0 have presented abstracts

BEACHEY DEMONSTRATES AERO
Makes Weight Carrying Test Flights
for Government.

Lincoln Beachey. who is demonstrat-
ing the weight t-carrying Curtiss aero
plane for the War Department at Col
lege Park. made several lights yester-
day afternoon. He landed on and rose
from plowed ground. but did not sue
ceed in making the altitude of 1000
feet in ten minutes.
The machine was carrying sos pounds
in gasoline and paccenger. so he was
really loaded l55 pounds above the
government requirement. This amount
of fuel was enough for about a six
hour flight instead of the four hours
demanded. He reached an altitude of
900 feet on one flight, but the ma
chine was not travelling to suit him and
he decided to postpone any further al
titude trial until today.

War Has Decreased Disease.

II is not difficult to understand why
fewer cases of typhoid fever and summer
complaint were reported by the health de-
the heavy fly mortality. Investigations
have revealed the fact that one insect is
capable of carrying 60o.C0o germs. 1t does
not follow that all the germs carried by
flies are of a harmful species, but it is
reasonable suppositon Jhat many thou
sands and probably millions of typhoid
germs were carried by the flies that have
been exterminated in the campaign, and
to the heavy mortality can the fewer
cases of typhoid fever in Washington this
summer be attributed.
The danger Of the fly a distributor
OF typhoid fever germs again has been
pointed out this time in connection with
an epidemic of the disease at Newark
Del. According to DIR. Albert Robin.
one of the foremost bacteriolog1sts of the
east, who investigated conditions at New
ark. the epidemic Is traceable entirely to
flies.
The town has no system of sewage" "
said DR.. Robin, "As result filth is not
carried away. il remains on the surface
and in cesspools. When single case of
typhoid fever manifests itself it is not
long before other cases develop. This is
because flies carry the germs from the
filth to the homes of prospective victims
by crawling over their food"
Health conditions in Washington at the
close of next month will be compared
with those obtaining at the corresponding
period a year ago. 1t is believed that
improved and much of the credit for this
will be bestowed by the health depart
ment authorities upon the children who
engaged in The Stars fly war.

Total Slaughter for the Month Thus
Far Is 6,444, 400.

Comparison of Health Conditions
With Year Ago, It Is Expected,

new August fly record was estab-
1shed yesterday. when contestants in
The Stars crusade delivered to the
health department the bodies of 652. 500
exterminated insects. This makes the
total slaughter for the month, SO far,
6.444,400.
The highest scores were by Layton
H. Burdette. Lawrence Fitzgerald
William Steiner and Frank Funk, these
contestants. in the order named. being
the leaders in the present months
campaign. Burdette increased his score
by 100000 points. Fitzgerald by $4,000
points, Steiner by $4,000 points and
Funk by $1,000 points.
With but four days remaining be-
fore the close of this months activi-
ties against the wary disease horde,
indications are that there will be more
exciting finishes between the leaders
than was the case last month Bur-
dette's total score is 1,9SS.4OO. while

Change in Standing Not Unlikely.
William Steiner. present occupant Of
third place, is only 336. 800 points be-
hind Fitzgerald, his score being 1.4OO,-
500. There may be change any day
in the relative standing Of the three
leaders. as an unusually heavy de-
livery of insects by any one Of them
would produce this result.
1t is expected that the scores of the
leaders will be increased by leaps and
bounds during the next four days, and
little surprise will be caused if the
months total slaughter reaches the nine
million mark. High scores not only will
mean the winning of prizes this month,
but they will count again next month
when grand prizes will be awarded to
the contestants who have killed the
largest number of flies during the five
months campaign.
In the May contest. when the insects
were just beginning to appear. but half
million of the pests were destroyed.
The June slaughter record was three
millions and the July twelve millions. II
nine million flies are destroyed this
month, the record for the first four
months of the campaign will be twenty
four and half million germ -spreaders
anihilated. II Is expected that the Sep
tember record will be approximately ten
millions. so that the showing for the en-
tire campaign should be about thirty five
millions.
