Medical Association, in the number OF
women in medicine since 1910. when there
we're 9J7 women students and l51 gradu-
ates, and in 1903. when there were 92l

LOCUSTS GOOD TO EAT.

to Turn the Plague to Account.

From the Indianapolis News
The latest sdvices from KhartOum state
that the usual bitches have been dug in
all directions in anticipation. of the sum-
mer rains. which, however, have as yet
not put in an appearance. In the mean
time these bitches are having their uses.

/ Locusts, of course. do a vast amount
of damage to the helds They multiply
most rapidly, and wherever they settle
they devour every vestige of green and
leave the land bare. The Sudanese are
waging a vigorous campaign against
them, and their zeal is whetted by the
fact that locusts constitute for them a
very palatable dish. These locusts are
generally caught by the cypress sys-
tem." which consists in digging trenches
and erecting on their farther side the
screens against which they dash and kill
themselves eventually falling into the
trenches.
1t is not thought that the invasion will
reach Egypt. The last time this country
was visited by locusts was in 1904, when
no fewer than 100000, 900 egg masses were
destroyed. The work was carried out by
over $4,000 men and cost the government
close to $4,000. which was in, all con-

FINANCIAL CONDITION
OF CUBA IMPROVING
Havana Editor, Who Has Recently
Come Here, Discusses Affairs
of the Island.
CUSTOMS RECEIPTS SWELLING

Senior Manuel de Adelantado. a
newspaper man just arrived from Ha-
vana, in talk with The Herald, said
The financial condition of the island
has improved a great deal. due to the
fact, perhaps, that all the sugar which
was in storage on account OF the low
prices has been sold. The present ad-
ministration is undoubtedly inspiring
business men with confidence, and the
people of Cuba see in President Men
ocal the only man capable Of saving
the republic from the financial crisis
with which il was confronted.
Some of the members of the Con-
servative party do not approve Of the
attitude of the present administration
toward the civil service law. which. by
the way. has remained intact, but, on
the other hand, il has the support OF
the great majority OF the people, capi-
talists and business men.
''Custom-house receipts for duties on
imports show considerable increase
every year. In the month OF June. lyl2,
the sum of 10000 was collected, while in
the same month this year the amount
reached S4O0,0O0.

so, yet it certainly does not show that
spirit of an absolute obeying of orders
and discipline which it is the very FIST
and main duty of a soldier to observe.
Without strict discipline there never
can be an efficient army Besides, it
is hardly to be supposed that any Con-
gresham who is acquainted with the
internal management of our military
and naval academies would consent to
interfere with what is solely matter
between teacher and cadet. They would
have their hands full to worry about
the domestic doings in these schools.
If there is anything wrong in this re-
spect, it is the business of the depart
ment and the Secretary to step in on
behalf OF the abused" pupils.
The officers of both these institu
tions are better judges of what con-
stitutes violations of discipline than
any Congressman or cadet Can be. 1t
will surprise no one TO find that among
the six hundrcd-odd youths in the West
Point school are a number who are
inclined TO kick over the traces. If the
officers in charge would not punish these
offenders" though individually they may
inwardly smile at their pranks, what
would the Academy come to-; And,
really, it is nobody'S business what for
or how the teachers mete out justice.
1t will not hurt any cadet to lose
few of his "off'' hours.

WANTS BURNS MSS.
Poets granddaughter Brings suit

London Gable to the New York Tribune.
Because the Liverpool Athenaeum sold
the Glen Riddel Robert Burns manu-
scripts to an American for 5000, the
poets only surviving granddaughter,
Miss Annie Burns. of Cheltenham, has
begun an action at Dumrfies seeking to
become his executrix with respect to GER
tain hitherto upconfirmed personal estate.
Miss Burns wants to prevent the COM
pletion of the sale to an American, on the
grounds that the works were given to the
Liverpool Athenaeum by Mrs. Currie,
daughter-in-law of DIR. CurTie, who had
the use of them in editing Burns works,
but that they were really originally
loaned by the poets widow, were part OF
his personal possessions, and should have
passed to his legal heirs.

A Trunk Without Branches.

You can lead a horse to water but
you cannot make him drink. Also you
can have plenty of good fresh water
and a very thirsty horse and if the
horse docs not know where the water
is or cannot get at it conveniently it
might as we'll not be there at all The
same principle applies TO books and the
book-hungry public. Washington has
handsome and finely situated public
library which serves hundreds OF
patrons daily But with the wide area
which the city covers it cannot be ex-
pected that ali the inhabitants will find
it possible to make constant use of the
library facilities by resorting to the
central institution.
The library authorities have attempt
ed to remedy this condition in part by
establishing stations in various parts
of the city, and the extensive degree
to which these are patronized testifies
to the latent demand for good reading
matter which exists in every neighbor-
hood. There is only one satisfactory
way in which to meet this demand, and
that is through branch libraries. In
other cities much smaller than Wash
ington a system OF branches has long
been giving excellent results, and there
have been many petition. .for such SER
vice here, but so far only one such
branch, that at Takoma Park, has been
established.
The great value of branch library
is that it largely creates the demand
which it fills. Curious as it may seem
there are a great many potential book
lovers who know only vaguely that
such an institution as a public library,
where any good book may be obtained
without price. is available. Especially
is this true of children. and of those
whose lives seldom touch the realms
OF good literature-and it i precisely
these that need books the most A
library building. set down in the midst
of a community, is standing reminder
that the whole field of literature IS
open to any one who comes, and it is.
moreover. an open door to a wide land
which many did not even know to
exist 1t Is land whose exploration
means d wider life. the keenest enjoy
ment, opportunities for material sue
cess. and a general mental develop
ment. And it should not be closed to
any one who can reasonably well be
reached.
As the situation is now the public
library serves only those within walk
ing distance OF it and those others
whose pleasure in reading or whose
business makes a special trip of one
to three hours and the expense of car
fare worth while-with the addition,
of course. OF the comparatively few who
can be reached by the stations. 1t
would seem that a branch could be
very prohtably located in Georgetown,
one or two in the Northeast section,
a, many on the south side, and per-
haps one in Anacostia and other places
far removed from the center of the
city. 1t is one OF those things which
does no one harm, which few or none
can object to. and which will result in
both immediate and lasting good. The
library authorities are anxious to plant
number OF branches, and the only
obstacle in the way is the lack OF an
appropriation from Congress.
