Insects and Disease.

Attention has been directed within re-
cent years to the insect as a carrier Of
disease germs. The interest in the sub
ject has grown as discoveries which
should result in the saving of human life
have been announced, and there is an in
creasing intimacy and relationship or
teamwork between physicians. bacteriol-
ogists and entomologists. 1t is not pos
sible that the discoveries in this wide
field Of the connection between insects
and human disease have been exhausted.
The sum of these discoveries so far and
the professional acceptance Of their YER
ity is universal is that feas are agents
in the spread of bubonic plague that the
bedbug and the househy are typhoid car
riers and that the housefy will dissent
nate any germs Of any disease that will
cling to its sticky feet. that typhus is
conveyed by the body louise, that mos
quitoes inoculate men with malaria
and yellow fever, and that the tsetse fly
introduces into men the germs OF the
dreaded sleeping sickness. In the mat
ter of the cause of peilagra suspicion is
focused on a black fly long considered as
beneath the dignity Of notice by man.
That fly is on trial by scientific courts

he is guilty he will be convicted and II

Americans have done important work
in exposing the dangerous character OF
certain insects. and the campaign is now
being carried on throughout the world.
One Of the important associations OF men
engaged in developing a more complete
understanding Of the part which insects
play in the affairs Of man is the English
chronological research committee. con-
sisting of twenty-four men. distinguished
in the study of entomology and disease.
The work Of this committee has already
been Of such Importance that there is a
movement among high intellectual cir
cles in the British empire for the creation
Of government institution bearing the
same relation to the empire that the bu-
reau Of entomology Of the Department of
Agriculture does to the United States.

Albany, March 19-The report of the state labor department on its investi- gation of conditions among the Lit tie Falls workers brought to public attention by the recent strike was given out today. But certainly it is matter of grave public concern" the report says, when considerable body of wage earners are found in such this report. The larger significance of the situation lies in the fact that there is reason to suppose that more or less similar conditions are to be found elsewhere"
 Men Receive se or Less.
 The investigators state that prior to the strike half the men workers re- ceived a weekly wage of s9 or less, while half of the women received less than $7.50. This settlement of the strike" the report adds, made but little if any change from conditions as to wages" Monthly rents for the space occupied by a single family group run from $6 to SIS.

 Sleeping rooms are small. Some are windowless. Overcrowding is the rule. Windows are kept constantly closed, even the cracks being filled or cover ej. The air of the sleeping rooms is charged with odors from the kitchen, the washtub, the garbage heap, and the cellar, and in this condition is breather again by the sleepers.

 FREE WOOL AND SUGAR. Series of Conferences With View of Preserving Party Harmony.

Washington, March 1s.-The house. the senate and the president came to- gether informally today for the first time on the 'preliminaries'' of tariff revision A short conference between the president and Chairman Simmons of the senate finance committee. fol- lowed by longer conference between a senate subcommittee and Chairman Underwood of the house ways and means committee, laid the groundwork for series of three cornered confer ences that are to follow before the tariff revision bills are presented to the house in April.
 AS a result of the discussions today it was said by MT. Underwood and Senator Simmons tonight that the two houses of congress practically will be agreed upon the details of tariff re- vision before the bills reach the house; and that the opinions and desires of President Wilson also will have been fully considered. The fight over free wool, decided by the committee on ways and means yesterday in favor of a Is per cent duty, will recur in the senate, and the reduction of the sugar tariff will also be a stumbling block there.

WILSON MAY RECOGNIZE
 THE CHINESE REPUBLIC
Is Now Giving the Question Serious
 Consideration.

Washington. March 19.-President Wilson is giving serious consideration to the question of formal recogni- ton of the Chinese republic. His statement yesterday on the loan ques- ton contained no specific reference to the matter of recognition, although many officials here were of tlSe opin ion that China could find in it con- fort and hope of early acknowledge ment of her new government. The president apparently has not settled definitely the question of recognition and it was believed tonight that sew eral conferences on the subject and many meetings of the cabinet would be necessary before the administra- tion's attitude is defined.
