WHAT The GOVERNMENT is DOING

Mosquitoes. beware, or the praying
mantis' will get YOU" Whether the men,

sure that II they have a note of warning
something like the above message has
gone out advising one another of the
presence In this country of the praying

Imported TO this country by accident,
ana which thrives upon mosquitoes as
an article of diet. The mantis came to
the United States as stowaway while

Tor Pennsylvania nursery.
Government entomologists in the De-
partment of Agriculture, those experts
who study the life and habits of insects
are watching with interest the progress
OF an anti-mosquito campaign which has
been started in Philadelphia, in which
the praying mantis'' plays the leading
part of chief exterminator. City Ento,
mologist Hornig of the Pennsylvania
metropolis believes that the mantis, which
is a member of the grasshopper family
but which grows to length of thu ee to
six inches, can be made to do yeoman
service in Kidding his city, ami in time
many other infected sections. of mos
quitoes. The praying mantis" is SO
called because its long front legs are
folded under as though it were in an at
titude of prayer. The Chinese bugs cam
not be depended upon to kill off all of the
mosquitoes, but it is intended to use the
insect Immigrant as an auxiliary force
along with work to eliminate all pools
OF stagnant water where the pests breed.
DR.. L. o. Howard. chief of the bureau
of entomology Of the Department of
Agriculture, says that there is one
serious drawback to the effective use
OF the mantis in an anti-mosquito cam
palgn, and that is the huge Chinese
bug is as fond of other insects as it is
OF the mosquito, and that there is
danger that it's appetite will be more
OFTEN satisfied with other insects than
with the mosquitoes on whose trail
1t is supposed to camp Besides, the
mantis is cannibalistic, and when
single nest matches out about 800
young, however, and it Is expected that
enough of them will grow up to form
more or less efficient fighting force
OF the anti-mosquito campaign
DR.. Howard tells Of other natural
enemies OF the mosquito which have
Deen introduced to free communities
OF the pest. Among these are sala-
manders; predaceous mosquitoes and
fish. These foes have been used to
destroy the mosquito larvae, the insect
In its early stage. Fish used for this
purpose have been quite successful in
many places, but the breed of predatory
mosquitoes introduced to kill off their
fellows were found to be voracious
biters and dangerous carriers Of disease
germs. making 1T necessary to abandon
their use.

Another Fight
Expected.


The reports from the upper Potomac
give further indication that a great bat
tie will be fought within forty-eight
hours i'm the vicinity of Hagerstown. The
rebels hold Funkstown lees headquar-
ters being at HagerstoWn). and their
lines, it Is said. extend from there to the
river. covering Williamsport The posi-
ton at Funkstown is one of much
strength, and the heights on the Hagers-
town side of Antietam creek at that point
will be made much of by Lee, doubtless
should Meade advance by that route. Lee
holds the stone bridge across the Antie-
tam at Funkstuwn. and from the depth
of the ravine through which the creek
masses, and the bOldness of the banks
the work of crossing, unless by the bridge,
will be one OF risk and difficulty.
Meade may, however, elect to advance
upon HagerstoWn by the old dirt road,
which crosses the Antietam within q
mile of HaserstoWn by stone bridge,
at a point by no means defensible as
where the Baltimore turnpike crosses
the creek at Funkstown. But the hest
line of advance for Meade is perhaps by
way of Sharpsburg and the famous stone
bridge where Burnside made his crossing
at the battle of Sharpsburg lAnteIam].
approaches to Hagerstown present no
great obstacle. So far as We can learn,
Lee has no force to oppose a crossing at
Sharpsburg. The advance upon Hagers-
town from the Pennsylvania SIDE can be
made without difficulty, SO far as the
nature of the ground is concerned. Doubt
less Lee will on this occasion exc out the
lions skin with that Of the fox, and, hay-
ing abandoned the heroic style OF assault.
viii make the most Of his diminished re-
sources by fighting from strong pos tons.
Those who know Meade best, however,
say he is the last man in the world to
be caught in any Balls Bluff sort OF
trap, and thus A., may happen that by
each general waril.- maneuvering for
consumed ere the storm of battle shall
burst. When the decisive movement
shall arrive, We have every reason to
count upon a telling success. The temper
and material OF the army and the char
acter Of It's leader all give hopeful as

THE WARNING BALKAN KINGDOMS

Balkanic affairs should be subordinated
to the exactions of such a people. IL
the members of the interior organisation
should undertake to carry out their
bandits"
It is recalled that the imperial rescrtpt
OF the car TO King Ferdinand and
King Peter plainly stated that IL the
allies did not accept the pacific interven-
ton Of Russia. Europe would not fail To
impose its decision. the sovereigns OF
Russia. England and Germany being in
accord on the principles involved in in
ternational questions. This means. un-
doubtedly. that Europe will control an
armed conflict and create out of Mace
donia, the bone Of contention, an autono-
nous and independent state. This va.
Ia iact Europe's first inspiration: it
would serve now as a guaranteed for
future peace. But IL would sensibly

CH|LDHOOD'S time
WASTED IN SCHOOLS
Educators Declare Two Years Can
Justly Be Cut From School
Attendance.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 27-That
there is a waste Of at least two years
In the present plan of American edu-
cation is the conclusion reached by a
committee of prominent educators in
their report of economy of time in
education. just issued by the United
States bureau Of education.
This conclusion follows an investi-
cation lasting nearly 10 years by a
committee of which President James
III. Baker OF the University of Colo
RADIO is chairman. To do away with
the two-year loss the committee pro-
poses that six years be assigned to
the elementary school instead Of
eight, as at present; that the high
school period be from the ages of IL
to 10. divided into two parts Of four
and two years each; that college work
extend from 10 to 20 or 16 to 20, and
that graduate or professional work
at a university cover the ages from
20 to "a.
This will enable boys and girls to
get ample vocational training after
the age of IL and would enable those
their college work at the age of 20
and would save the professional man
from having to wait until 27 to start
his career. Emphasis is laid on the
necessity Of concentrating on a few
valuable studies.
1.-The great mistake in our educa-
ton is to suppose that quantity and
strain constitute education. The col
lege has committed a grievous mis-
take in demanding ever more in
quantity rather than In quality" The
report contains opinions on every
phase of the question from represent
