Missoula was patriotic yesterday in it's
display of green. Limerick would
have been proud of the
IN SHOW display which was made
here. There were all
the necessary signs that
it was st. Patrick's day. Even with
out the commissioners carpet there
would have been green enough in
town to go around. The little lapel
emblems We're generally worn and
were in the usual variety. The green
carnations were in favor and many
people donned them. A bunch of
them came to The Missoulian office
early in the morning from the r &,
>. flower store. Even the grapefruit
which was served yesterday was
green, and that is going about as far
as any community in the world could
go. And the show windows were given
up largely in the morning to the dis
play of green and gold. But last night
the snow in the windows along the
avenue assumed a new hue; it was
the beginning of the weeks display of
Easter wares. The gowns and the
mats and the flowers We're everywhere
IN evidence. The mems stores were
no Viii behind, and there were shown
the verN latest bifurcated Easter
wares. 1t was fine to look upon. Last
night the strollers about town were
all interested in the windows; there
We're groups before all the DISPLAYS.
ANA, though it might have been i'm
aginatlon, it seemed hat the weather
became milder.

Patrick, himself, could
not rave selected any
thing greener, and the hue illumines
the commissioners room until it rises
and clashes with the blue Of the mural
decorations. But it carries out the
scheme of nature, which places green
grass under our feet and blue sky over
our heads-sometimes. That is the
only defense which the commissioners
offer for the color scheme which the
carpet introduces into their business |
room. The carpet is so green that its
narrow black border loses all it's eff

that was its purpose. The commits

their deliberations by the scraping of
chairs and the tramping of feet upon
the tiled floor. They can proceed with
the consideration of their business
without contracting nervous prostra-
ton. And they are well pleased with
the innovation. If folks don't like the
color of the new carpet, they should

the color scheme is offensive, folks
don't have to look at it.

TRIBUTE PAID WORK
OF GEN. ARMSTRONG
Schools Like Hampton and Tuskegee
Also Highly Praised in Bureau
Of Education PAMPHLET.

That the Hampton and Tuskegee
schools are valuable. not merely as ex-
eellent schools for the colored race, but
for their important contribution to the
present vocational education movement,
Is the declaration OF the United States
Bureau Of Education. In a pamphlet dis
tributed by the bureau. entitled ''Educa-
uon Tor Life" tribute is paid to the
work OF Hampton Institute. and particu-
larly Gen. Armstrong, its founder.
Gen. Armstrong possessed to a re-
markable degree the gift of educational
prophecy" asserts Prof Peabody, in an
introduction to the pamphlet "He fore
saw and foretold with extraordinary pre-
ctsion the tendencies and transitions
which. within the last twenty-five years,
have practically revolOtionized the prin-
ciples Of education. The training of the
hand and eye. as well as Of the mind, the
moral effect OF technical skill, the con-
ception Of labor as a moral force, the
test Of education in efficiency. and the
vanity Of education without discipline in
thrift. self-help, love OF work, and will
lingness to sacrif1ce-all these familiar
maxims OF modern vocational training
were set forth by him with all the assur-
ance of a social prophet"
The pamphlet includes a sketch of Gen.
Armstrong; life, and pithy utterances on
aims and methods of education. many Of
which are helpful to those interested in
present problems, according to officials
OF the Bureau Of Education.

ran from blood poisoning IL other corn
cutters were used" the sons were ad-
monished to use no other cutter, and a

laughingly told the lawyers that he had

A Louisville widow found that when
her husbands will was opened he had
bequeathed her his bath robe. And these
were the words that went with the be-
quest: 'Inasmuch as she has deprived me
so often of the comfort and convenience

own personal use. by wearing the afore-
said bath robe at times when / desired

find IL the same tried and faithful servi-
tor, even though Providence should bless
her with another husband, who may have
bath robe to spare" The decedent
was called the Mark Twain of his neigh
borhood in Louisville.
There is one actual case on record OF a
beQuest of artificial teeth. But as 1t was
so long ago the legal chroniclers think
the decedent had in mind the sale of the
teeth to the dentists OF the time so that
cash might be realized. Many cases are
narrated of women bequeathing their hair

Last Testaments Often Con-

.Shoestrings, Hair Brushes,
and Bathrobes Given Heirs.

When they opened the will OF Miss
Mathilda Tommet in Milwaukee the other
day they found that one of her bequests
was a pair of old shoestrings given to
a woman relative with whom she had
been on friendly terms for many years
There did not appear to be any sarcasm
or i'll feeling connected with the legacy,
and judged by the common-sense way in
which the remainder Of her property
was bestowed there did not seem to be
ground for the suspicion that the de-
cedent was not In her right mind.
The cases are numberless in which odd
things have been bequeathed and count
less have been the contests to break
wills that contain provisions along lines
similar to that of Miss Tommet's will.

In New Orleans there died not long

This brush he gave TO a nephew. Samuel

Campaign Against Mosquitoes
IN Panama Canal Zone Is
Notable Africa Is Gres3
battle-ground, Where Lo-
Gusts Are Tremendous
Pests The Tsetse Fly.

The greatest war that Is going on at
the present time is not war in which
both sides are men. 1t is not war in
which rifles or cannon play part The
biggest battles of today are with a much
smaller foe than man. They are battles
with insects.
Although unknown 70 many people.
these battles in which men and insects
are the combatants are adding new
chapter to the history OF the world.
South Africa is one OF the greatest
OF these battle grounds. There hostilities
are being carried on relentiessly.
Locusts are one of the enemies in
South Africa.
AS soon as there is a swarm Of locusts.
news is flashed to the Department OF
Agriculture at Pretoria AS result a
battle ensues with sprays OF arsenic in
stead of rifles. The locusts, due to these
battles. are being rapidly exterminated.
On the west coast Of Africa Great
campaign is taking place against close
relative of one of our own foes, the
mosquito. In Africa IL has been definite
ly established that the mosquito Is the
transmitter OF three most terrible dis
eases-malaria, elephantiasis. and yellow
fever. II a man is bitten only once by
a mosquito there may develop any one
of these horrible diseases. The same
methods are being used against the Afri-
can mosquito IS are used here in the
United States in a civil war against the
mosquito. Hundreds OF ponds are being
drained and other bodies sof water are
being covered by a thick oil.
'MiIIions Fight Mosquitoes
A little fish known as the million
is the weapon used in the great battle
against the mosquito in West India and
the Hawaiian Islands. TEis little fish
is a natural enemy of the mosquito. The
beneficial work of the million" was first
noticed at Barbados. whose lakes and
streams were full of this small fish
Barbados did not suffer from the
seourges brought by mosquitoes. but the
adjacent islands, where lie million" did
not live, suffered greatly. This suffering
Is diminishing since the introduction OF
the million" into all ponds ard streams
that cannot be drained or covered with
oil.
In the Panama Canal Zone the conflict
between man and insect has been -
markable. Man has won all of the bat
ties. Yellow fever in all its horror. q
direct result of germs carried by the mos
quito, has been driven away from Pam
anna by a successful war on the pest.
Another pest on which a great on
slaught is being made is the tsetse fly.
The record of this insect is but little less
terrible than that Of the mosquito, for
among the diseases IL carries Is the sleep
ing sickness, for which there is no cure
ard which has swept away whole ccm-
munities. The tsetse has killed more than
100000 in the Uganda protectorate alone
The tsetse fly is being fought by burn
ing bushes around the margins OF rivers
and ponds and around cities and en-
Campments. The men Of Africa are
wearing a sort OF a sticky fiy-paper on
their backs in the lands where the tsetse
fly swarms, and millions are being at

EVOLUTION OF THE GOLF BALL.

Nicl<s In the Rubber Found 10 In
crease sailing Qualities.
From the New YORK Sun.
The novice golfer OF today seldom
stops /. to consider the amount OF
thought and hard labor the FIRST play
ers put into perfecting the little white
pea" The first balls were made OF
leather of untanned bulls hide, two
round pieces forming the ends and an
other for the middle. These pieces
were softened, shaped. and~ firmly
sewed together, a small hole being left
through which the feathers might aft
erward be inserted. Before stuffing
the leather sphere was turned outside
in, so that the seams would be on the
inside The skin was then placed In
a cup-shaped stand. the worker all
the while having the feathers in an
apron before him, and the stuffing was
done with a steel rcd.
The aperture was then closed and
the seam sewed. and only this tiny
seam was left to be seen. The life
of each ball was very short. After a
short time of play the seams would
rip and the feathers would protrude
When the ball was used on a wet day,
water would squirt out each time the
ball was struck. The moisture. oil
course, would add to the balls weight
and after being played few holes II
would seem to weigh a pound. In i'm
portant matches the players would use
a fresh ball at each hole, this neces-
sarily entailing great expense.
Although the ball used on the links
nowadays is seemingly perfect, many
inventors are experimenting in the
hope of obtaining even a better one.
The gutta percha ball has been in use
since 1S4S A golfer of that day expert
mented with a piece OF India rubber, and
succeeded in fashioning II into shape,
but when put into use was found not 3
success 1t would go but a short distance
after leaving the club, SO its use was
abandoned. The caddies amused them
selves with the discarded balls until the
spheres were badly nicked. To the sur
prise of all, the ball with the additional
cuts could sail through the air much bet
ter than the old one The next mold was
nicked, to give the gutta percha sphere
