SWAT THE FLY.

Because the fly is small and does
not roar like a lion or devour its prey
at a mouthful, mankind pays little
attention to it. But the fly is as
deadly foe to civilization as any of
the pests of more fearsome aspect,
which man makes it his business to
exterminate.

TEACHERS POORLY PAID.
v. S. Investigation Shows Their Sal
aries Vary Amazingly.


Washington, Aug. 1.-THE federal
bureau of education today announced
the completion of it's investigation OF
teachers salaries in the United States,
one OF the most striking situations re-
vealed being the wide variation in the
pay for the same or similar work. The
inquiry shows that public elementary
school teachers may receive $4,000 "A
year, as some do in New York city,
or $3.50 a year, as in certain rural COM
munities. Even in cities of the same
class there are considerable differences
i'm the salaries paid. On the admins
trative side there are county super
intendents with pay ranging from
S115 to $4,000 year, and college pres
idents salaries of from 5000 to $12,500.
In city school systems salaries have
increased steadily in recent years par
ticularly in the western states and in
general, salaries in city school systems
are fairly well standardized.
1t is in the colleges and universities,
however, that the widest variation
prevails. Salaries of men with the
rank of professor range from $3.50
to $500" Professors In institutions
receive less than instructors" or even
assistants" in others. Salaries OF
deans OF these institutions vary from
$500 to $4,000. University teachers OF
subjects for which there is COM
mercial demand outside receive some
what higher salaries than teachers OF
academic subjects. but the difference
is less than might be expected. The
highest average salaries of full pro-
fessors are paid in law and civil engi-
neering.

Two divisions belonged to the Seventh

these vessels will be absolutely unable
TO operate for many months and pos
sibly for several years unless the sit =
uation is quickly remedied. There is
no limit to the sufferings that will
come TO these countries and ports if
their facilities for sending out their
exports and bringing in the necessary
imports are cut off. In this crisis II
is 10 be sincerely hoped that the bill
now being passed by the United States
Congress may be OF great assistance In
relieving the situation. That, however,

National loans Just as war was

the pressure Of local conditions and
are absolutely necessary for the well

In Europe. Under the circumstances
these governments will naturally turn
TO the banking and financial interests
OF the United States which heretofore
have seldom subscribed for South Am

in them. BY endeavoring TO help out
these governments in this crisis, they
can not fail to perform not only great
service 10 such governments, but place
themselves in a favorable position to
obtain other loans in the future and
favorable consideration from the gov
ernments concerned.
In conclusion, IL is gratifying 70
state that the Department OF Com

as many men in proportion 10 the pop

National Geographic Society, at Wash
ington ID. c., today, and this does not
take into account the fact that the re-
cent wars in the little country have
made such fatal inroads into the per-
centage OF adult male population,
Probably. if the United States called
as many men 10 the colors in proper
ton TO the adult male population, II
would mean an army Of twelve million
men.
These figures show what a heavy
hand Austria Hungary laid upon the
little country whose army gave such a
remarkable account OF itself during the
two wars it has just passed through
before this third one descended upon
it. How terrible the rayages OF the
wars i'm the Near East have been Is
indicated by the census Of conquered
territory taken by Bulgaria in the
early months of the present year That
count showed that where, previous 70
the wars, there had been a population
of 7O2 600 there is now n population OF
