OF malaria, yellow fever and other
diseases.
A lifetime of study would give
trained scientist no more compre-
fensive knowledge OF the harm mos
Quitoes can do us than the motion
pictures do in the short space OF
twenty minutes. The pictures pre-.
sent these scientific facts so vividly
that even the dullest mind cannot
fall to be interested and impressed.
Until recently 1t was rare to find
mother who saw any particular
harm in flies. Being ignorant Of the
way they spread disease, most
women made little or no effort to
keep their homes free from this pest.
When baby sickened and died they
never suspected that the filth and
germs the flies had brought were to
blame.
The motion pictures have carried
the warning that flies are dangerous
to life and health into millions of
homes which books and lectures
could never have reached. And more
than that-the films have shown
fathers and mothers how flies can
be e1terminated or at least kept out
OF the home
In the recent anti-fiy campaign In
Cleveland, Ohio, motion pictures
proved Of the greatest service, not
only in arousing the public to the
dangers of flies. but also to the best
means OF making war on them.
The film made especially for use
in Cleveland's crusade told all there
Is TO tell about the disease-spread-
inF flies. Besides the common
house fly, the stable fly and other
varieties were shown.
From the moment the eggs are
laid until the flies are full grown
gerln-carriers every detail of their
life and habits was covered. BY
tremendous enlargement Of some Of
the negatives the cargo Of dirt which
the fly carries from place TO place
on its legs and wings was made
plainly visible.

OF the motion pictures to arouse the
public's interest in hygiene. And so
Is the fact that since this film was
shown In schools. churches and
theatres there has been marked
decrease IN the number OF cases OF
typhoid fever, tuberculosis, spinal
m n n 6 tbs, infantiie paralysis
and other diseases which flies
spread.
Good health has such an important
bearing on human happiness that it
has been easy for the educators
who are teaching hygiene By means
OF the motion pictures to weave
their instruction into stories OF
genuine human interest. The moral

When in captivity some animals change
their peaceful nature, and all at once be-

with wild swine.

Dr. Zell has also found that martens
are as exceptional animals as man in
that they often kill more than are needed
at the time and leave their prey when
hunger has been satisfied.
The cat seems to kill for the sake of
killing, for 1t will attack mice and rats
as long as they appear, but it is held
tnat this is due only to training by man
and that the action is unnatural in wild

But how can this universal knowl-

How can every man. woman and

Through the moving pictures is the
answer scientists and teachers
everywhere are giving 10 these vital
questions.
The films, it has been found, can
do much more than merely amuse
the public. They offer the best
means yet devised OF familiarizing
the great masses of people with the
laws OF hygiene and keeping them
informed about the progress science
Is daily making in its war on dis

The murders occurred with such
rapidly that many persons near the
scene did not even hear the shots.
The street is very narrow and the
assassin fred at close range.
Assassination Well Planned.
Those responsible for the assassi-
nation took care that 1t should prove
effective, as there were two assail.
ants, the first armed with bomb
and the second with Z revolver. The
bomb was thrown at the royal auto
mobile as 1t was proceeding to the
town hall. where reception was to
be held.
II was on the return Of the process
sion that the tragedy was added to
the long list Of those that have dark
ened the pages Of the recent history
of tho Hapsburgs. As the royal auto
mobile reached prominent point In
the route to the palace, a student.
Gavrio Prinzip, sprang out of the
crowd and poured deadly fusillade
of bullets from an automatic pistol at
the archduke and princess.
Prinzip and a fellow conspirator, a
compositor from Trebinje, Nedelojo
Gabrinoyics, barely escaped lynching
by the Infatuated spectators. They
finally were seized by the police, who
afforded them protection. Both are
natives of the annexed province OF
Herzegovina.
On leaving the hall the archduke
and his wife announced their inten-
