there would be no need of such cam

clared that in that city there were many
apartments. with no back fences and no
alleys In the center of each square, he
said. there were large white receptacles
and the servants were required. under
penalty of a heavy fine. to bring their
garbage and refuse there at certain
time of the day in receptacles of practi-
cally the same material. Their recepta-
cles are placed in the large one

DIR. Ames declared the garbage fur

with which the municipalities of TODAY

cover attached to the receptacle that

constructed of notwithstanding material

that the government could not force any

garbage man seldom replaced tops on the
cans. and that If he dropped any in dump
ing it was left on the ground for the
flies to breed on. He also declared that
the householder was not free from blame
because she seldom, and sometimes never
washes out the garbage receptacle. All
such things are contrlbutOTy. he said, to
the insanitary conditions which breed
the fly.
He said the garbage should always be
placed in tight receptacle and the gar
bage man should be required to replace
the cover. The sweeping of streets in the
District was declared to be only half

pie could be taught a little more about

BABY FACTORIES FOR FUTURE
Scientist Declares IL Is Possible to
Create Human Life.


That 1t was possible to create human
life by chemical means and that a
baby factory was not out of the ques-
ton for the distant future was assert
ed recently by Dr. Martin Kellog
Schermerhorn of the department of
philosophy in Harvard. He spoke be-
fore the Metaphysical club, in Boston.
Life is not confined to the animal
and plant world" he said THE whole
universe is alive, and all that lives is
conscious.
Animals are conscious and gifted
with the power of thought and imagi-
nation, even though Roosevelt, who
thinks himself great hunter. says
they do not know when they are being
slaughtered.
plants are conscious. and Ruskin
and Goethe agree they are capable of
exercising strategy and forethought
Even Darwin said plants were sensi-
tive. and hence he must have believed
they were conscious.
TT is obvious that the evolution from
80 called matter to human life is pos
sible. The chemist OF the future will
labor so that men shall be made in
baby factories. as chickens are hatched
in incubators."

The bear. seemingly astonished at
