seen in the summer without it's
attendant flies. It can be taken
for granted that every fly in l.

amount Of garbage and filth in

kept tidy and clean and sweet
there are very few flies, but
wherever filth exists there flies
multiply by myriads. The prin-
cipIe is automatic. The moro
filth the more flies, the more
flies the more disease. -.

all garbage or dirt in the vicin-

Two Thousand or One ?

That block of land in the heart of
Chicago which Hiram Pearson bought
of Uncle Sam in 1886 for $41O and
which is now held at $12, 100000 is
worth another thought.
The average income throughout
the United States of families of five
where father earns the living is
about $500. This small piece of land,
returns in net income to it's present
owners as much money as has to sup
port 1900 wage-earning families.
But with. an important difference:
The men who get this income do
not earn it. -, ~ ~
They literally do nothing for it.
They did not MAKE the land or
the city about the land; and they
have not improved the land. Their,
tenants have built the buildings,
paid the taxes, kept up the repairs.
1t is easy to see why man and his
wife and their children who buy a
piece Of ground and, put their very
lives into digging it, seeding it, fer
tilizing it, making it yield, should be
entitled to reap the fruits of their
labor.
But the owners of this. Chicago
piece of land never planted q spade
or seed in it; never lifted finger
to work It. Society did all the improV-
ing that was done to it; but. the value
which. society created society is not
getting-idlers are getting it all.
Now here is a question to null
over:
Why should 1000 families have to
work like Sam Hill to earn their 5000
a year while one orstwo families. not

Helen Keller Hears Music

Miss Helen Keller, the famous
blind, deaf and dumb girl. has
heard her first note of music.
She caught the vibrations of a
violin string through her teeth,
held against the bridge of the in
strument. Although her ear
drums are useless, Prof. Franz
Kohler, of the Berlin Conserva-
tory, declared that the harmon
les had been communicated to
her brain. and she had caught
the strains.
The first note which the form
er concertmeister of the Pitts
burgh Symphony Orchestra play
ed for Miss Keller was on the
string E of his rare old violin.
Miss Keller was astonished. She
held her teeth firmly against the
scroll while Prof. KohIer played
strains of the Saint Saens The
Swan" using both the high and
low registers.
Like the voice of singing an
GELS" Miss Keller communicated
to Miss Macy, her teacher.
Miss Keller was exhausted
from the excitement. Miss Macy
declared today that this is the
first musical sound that has reach
ed the brain of Miss Keller, de-
spite reports of her violin playing
which have stated that she has
known musical harmony before.

FAVORABLE TO
PEACEFUL ENDING

Further negotiations looking
to the peaceful settlement of the
Mexican situation, following
Huerta's rejection of President
Wilson's proposals, submitted by
John Lind, it would appear now,
rest with Washington. If the
United States is willing to REQ
pen the controversy there is
every reason to believe that
Mexico is willing. An official
statement from Foreign Minister
Gamboa says that the negotia-
tions between Lind and the Mex
lean government are not entirely
broken, but are being continued
confidentially."
This statement was given to
the Mexican newspapers for pub
lication this morning: Mexico's
reply to the United States. while
couched in diplomatic language
was a definite rejection of Will
sons proposals
Unless Washington submits
new proposals it is considered
here that negotiations will be
closed. What Mexico may do
appears largely to be a psycholo-
gicial problem.
Lind is waiting instructions
from Washington. He is still
optimistic of the outcome.
The Mexican government sent
to all foreign Legations here a
note stating that the negotia-
tions between John Lind and
President Huerta are continuing
in a cordial manner. The note
also made denial of the report
that DR.. Urruutia, minister of
the interior. had made any state
ment which might be regarded
as an ultimatum to the United
States. Foreign Minister Gam
boa and other government Off
cials refuse to discuss the chara-
cter of the note exchanged be-
tween Huerta and Lind. Phoe-
