MOSQUITOES TRACED TO SWAMP
Sanitary Officers in Panama Take
Steps to Exterminate Pest.

To the great relief Of the sanitary Off
GERS charged with the protection of the
health of the thousands of workmen en-
gagged on the construction Of the Panama
canal, the origin of clouds of mosquitoes,
which have been appearing recently be-
tween Clio and 100 o'clock in the even
ings, along the line of the old French
canal. has been traced to an old swamp
north of Gatun dam. and between the
French canal and the Chagres river.
At first it was supposed that these pests
were breeding in the jungles. many miles
of which are being gradually submerged
by the rising waters Of Gatun lake. in
which case it would be a herculean
undertaking to eXterminate them.
The swamp. however. is capable of
being drained easily, thereby eaking
up the breeding places. Furthermore
it has been discovered that these newly
arrived mosquitoes are not of the malaria
bearing type, and SO far none Of that
kind has been bred in the lake.

ON MINIMUM WAGE

Madison, Wis, April 10.
Social and economic conditions re-
quire the enactment of law providing
for a minimum wage for female and
minor employees That was the gist
of the argument made for the Mahon
minimum wage bill before the as
sembly committee on public welfare
in the assembly chamber Tuesday
night. The Rev. John A. Ryan of
st. Paul, author of The Living
Wage" and writer on economic pro-
blems; Miss Mary E. Mcdowell of
Chicago connected with the Chicago
university settlement, and Assembly
man Carl Minkley of Milwaukee,
spoke for the bill. r. t. Emerson,
representing himself and the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
of Milwaukee spoke against it.
The bill provides that the state
industrial commission shall establish
a minimum wage for industries IN
which females and minors are en-
ployed. This wage shall be sufficient
to furnish the reasonable necessaries
of life and enable the employe to live
decently.
The committee took no action on
the bill.
The assembly committee on public
welfare decided to recommend for
passage the Holmes bill providing for
out door camps on the state forest
reserves of the north for persons affect
ed with tuberculosis The bill carries
an appropriation of $40, 600 a year.

APPOINTMENT OF POsTMAsTERs

Postmaster General Burleson made
an announcement Of policy a few
days ago that will bring CONSERVATION
to the hearts of many hundreds of
aspirants for postmaster jobs through
out the country. My department
will be run on business lines and not
10y politics" said the new postmaster
general. There will have to be
specific charges Of ineficiency before
anyone will be removed. " 1t thus
appears that republicans who are
holding these positions are to remain
undisturbed at least until the expira-
ton of their terms, and in fourth class
offices postmasters are not appointed
for four years as they are in first,
second and third class. but in
definitely.
Mr.. Burleson has some ambitious
reforms in mind in the conduct of his
Office. Like the president he is a
strong advocate of the merit system
and he announces it as his highest
aim to take his department entirely
out of politics. Instead of making
the appointment of postmaster re-
ward for party service he would favor
putting it entirely under the civil
service, requiring all postmasters to
pass examination for appointment and
promotion. They should then be APP
pointed and transferred without re-
gard to location, and could be advanc-
ed from smaller to larger Offices &C.
cOrding to ability displayed.
For instance a postmaster at Ian
caster, might under certain conditions
be transferred to Madison or MilWau.
kee provided the ability he displayed
were of the character to warrant such
promotion This would be radical
departure from the custom that has
prevailed from time immemorial, of
giving out postmastershlp as a reward
of party service, which has in hundreds
of instances resulted in putting in
office men who looked upon it main
ly as a perquisite, and in hundreds of
other instances the jealousy and strife
e1gendered by this method of selec-
tion has led to the undoing of brill
liant and aspiring congressman. just
when they were in position to be of
greatest value in official life.
The outcome of Mr.. Burleson s
plans will be viewed with interest
by those who do not view it with dis
gust.

SENSIBLE AND THOUGHTFUL.

The action taken by the Teachers
Parents association toward curbing
competitive extravaganza in the
matters of dress. flowers, etc., at
public school parties and commence
ment exercises is sensible, considerable
and commendable.
The action is treated as a question
Of economy. But it is more than
that. It is also one of equality and
considerateness-and of good taste,
too
Supt. Pearse we'll points out that
the expensiveness of the customs con-
demned sometimes shut out poorer
students from participation on occa-
sions where differences of ability to
spend money on display should be the
last thing to count among school
mates.
Young people are extremely sensi.
tive about the involved Sights and
deprivations. The school girl who is
forced to cut paratively shabby
and neglected figure beside her more
fortunate companions on these occa-
sions too often feels pang of NORTH
cation, which at that age may be very
keen.
Setting a standard of becoming
simplicity for all these young folks
would make for good feeling and good
taste, and against Juvenile snobbery.

most. "-MilWaukee Sentinel.
