School Health Clinics
Objected to Blu Parents

Keep constantly before the young,
Ideas of illness and infrmity.'
1t is wrong to spend time that
Should be devoted to the three RS to

1t is humiliating for a child to be

These are some of the objections to
medical inspections in the public
schools, made by the Parents Rights
League of America in a letter on file
IN Mayor Rolph's office.
The protest urges that the mayor
confer with the board of health to Sc

prizes for. the best kept premises, etc.
The local stores are then visited and
the dealers urged to handle efficient
but cheap fly traps, early in the sea-
son, in order to catch the flies that
hibernate. Each one destroyed at
that time leaves thousands less to
combat later Good traps well handled
heave great value but they need con-
slant attention.
While most emphasis is laid on pre-
ventive measures in the college bull
letin, other methods of eradicating the
fly are explained and recommended
Among these measures are the use of
traps, poisons and sticky fly paper.
Designs for traps for outdoor and
indoor use and for window use in the
screened barns are shown by drawings
and photographs. These traps are of
simple construction and can be bought
cheaply In modified forms in the mar
ket. The inside traps consist of a
short narrow cone-shaped screen,
wide at the bottom with small open
ing at the top. A large outer screen

HUeTta Government Cancels /
american COnsuL's Papers

Mexico City-The foreign office has
recalled the exequatur of George G..
CarOthers, the American vice consul at
TOrreOn, because of the character of
the news he has been sending from
Villas headquarters. Consul Caroth-
ers has been characterized as an ar
dent partisan of the rebels Sin going
INTO unwarranted lengths to discredit
the Mexican government. IN
The governments denial of the cap
ture Of Torreon is based on reports
from General Javier De Moure, at San
Pedro, near Torreon, and it is argued
that General De Moure must know the
state of affairs at Torreon. Officials
holding minor positions are wholly
sincere in their accounts of the gov
emment's denial.

Huoe Lizard Bones Found.

Los Angeles = Workmena digging a
trench this week in the foothills of
San Pedro mountain, at La Alameda,
uncovered the skeleton of a monster
prehistoric lizard.
It is in almost perfect state of pres
ervation. The finding of the skeleton
has prompted Professor Thompson, of
the high school, to begin search for
other specimens. Scientists think that
the beds, which have yielded the only
fossil of a prehistoric man found on
the continent, may have rival near
here.

On Same Footing.

of Surgeon General-Many
Reasons GiUen for MoUe.

Washington, D. C.-Absolute prohi-
,;+;on will prevail in the United
Gates navy after July l next. Secre-
wv. WV Daniels has made public an order
.J, not only will abolish the tradi-
.;nrqI wine ness of the officers, but
I'LL bar all alcoholic liquors from
serv ship and shore station.
This order, constituting one of the
INST noteworthy victories ever won by
10 prohibition forces, was issued up
~ the commentator Of Surgeon
Csneral Braisted. 1t follows:
..The use or introduction of liquors
tr drinking purposes on board any
naval vessel or within any navy yard
n station is prohibited, and command
NO officers will be held directly re-
sensible for the enforcement of this
order"
In statement issued later Secre-
tary Daniels said:
Il am in hearty agreement with the
views expressed by the surgeon gen
sraI in his paper accompanying the
communication. There should not be
m shipboard, with reference to intoxi-
eants, one rule for officers and another
and different rule for the enlisted
personnel.
The saddest hour in my official life
is when an officer or enlisted man must
he punished for intoXication. During
the last week it has been my painful
duty to approve court-martial for
dismissal of an officer for intoxication.
He told me that he had never tasted
intoxicating drink until he did so in
the wine mess on his cruiser. Others
who have been disciplined for drinking
to excess have made similar state
ments to me.
Officers are now commissioned at
the early age of % years. Has the
government a right to permit this
temptation which too often destroys
the highest usefulness of young Off
GERS? | think not. If there is one
profession more than any other that
calls for a clear head and steady
hand it is the naval profession. Ex-
perience has shown the wisdom of
having no intoxicants on our ships for
the young men who enlist.
Il believe experience has demon
Strated that uniform rule should pre-
vail in the navy for all who enlist in
the service, from the highest rank to
the youngest enlisted man or officer
who comes into the service, and that
the abolition of the wine mess will be
justified"

Chicago-Illinois women swarmed
to the polls Tuesday in nearly zoo
townships and as result it is esti-
mated that at least IL counties have
been added to the 80 which now bar
saloons.
The country districts saw the great
est gains in anti-saloon territory. but
IL of the larger wet cities switched to
the dry column.
Late estimates indicated that be-
tween Is, 900 and 100, 900 of the 217,-
OLA women voters eligible to vote here
voted for the first time and cast their
votes in the aldermanic election. The
male voters, of whom 455,283 were
registered, voted in about the same
proportion.
None of the nine women candidates
who sought to represent their wards
in the city council was elected, and
except in the First ward where Miss
Marion Drake had made a spectacular
fight against John (Bathhouse) Cough
lin, the women, candidates polled only
small fraction of the women votes.
Coughlin had 1000 majority and re-
ceived more than twice as many wom-
ems votes as his opponent.
In the First ward indications were
that Coughlin had won by about four
to one. The suffrage forces, which
had united to support Miss Drake,
were jubilant, however, and declared
this showing was the entering wedge
by which they expected ultimately to
defeat Coughlin and Michael (Hinky
Dink) Kenna, who have represented
the ward for nearly a quarter of a
century.
Numerous charges of irregularities
in.voting were made to the election
commission by Miss brakes campaign
managers.
Miss Harriet Vittum, head resident
of Northwestern University settlement
and independent candidate in the Sew
enteenth ward, early conceded her de-
feat.

Returns from down-state counties in
Illinois, where local option elections
were held, show that country districts
largely voted 'dry.'
The larger cities by the early re-
turns were more evenly divided be-
tween the anti-saloon forces and the
supporters of liquor-selling. Spring
field, the state capital, went wet by a
large majority, as did Waukegan,
north of Chicago, and Rock Island and
Moline on the Mississippi river. 9th
er cities remaining wet were Quincy,
West Galena, Dixon, Aurora and AL
ton.
Among the cities voting dry were
Rockford, which elected to remain
dry; Canton, Galesburg, Bloomington,
Kewanee, Lockport, Decatur, Mon
mouth, Greenport, (Which has been
wet nearly so years., Belvidere, Free
port, Joliet, Elgin and East Galena.

tention to the fact that three OF the com

company had reinsured a portion of the

titled to do business in Vermont. The
governor at that time informed the state
treasurer that had the executive been
aware of that phase of the matter the
state would not have accepted the bond.

Gov Fletcher a long explanation of the
formers position in the matter, going
