The House
Fly
Its Life History

methods of control Of the house fly,
We must first know thoroughly its
life history and habits Of life. The
grasshopper belongs to a group Of in
sects which gradually grow up to ad.

general form. The house fly on the
other hand, passes through several
stages each unlike the other. namely
the egg. the larva, maggot, the pur.
pa (resting stage) and the mayo or
full grown winged insect.

STUDY PENNSYLVANIA

In a recent talk to educators in BerkS county DR..
~ c. Schaeffer, Superintendent of Public lnstruc
ton. admonished teachers and others in the audi
ence to pay more attention to the greatness of
PENNSYLVANIA great men. and not to go out of their
way to extol people and incidents of other states
while at the time remaining silent regarding the big
men and great history of their own state.
Many teachers Dr.. Schaetfer said teach the his
tory of other states and countries and never once
refer to Pennsylvania They often fail to tell their
pupils that some of the greatest of historical events
occurred on Pennsylvania soil during the Revolu-
tionary War, and that in Pennsylvania waters the
greatest naval battle of the war of 1872 took place
The dumping of the tea overheard in Boston that
led to the start of the Revolutionary War is ex-
plotted time and again as the Boston Tea Party,
but SAYS Dr. Schaefer. it is not taught in Pennsyl-
vaua schools that before that cargo of tea was
taken to Boston an effort was made to land it in
Philadelphia and the ship owner only desisted and
turned his ship down the bay and Bostonward when
the merchants of Philadelphia warned him that if
he attempted to land the tea they would tar and
feather him

Unemployment Bureaus Abroad

Inc report says, in part; Mr.
Jackson who has Just returned from a
study of industrial conditions in
Europe, states that the use of 'unem
ployment bureaus, in Germany and
England is proving most effective in
reducing unemployment. A bureau of
this kind in Dresden, which he studied
thoroughly, is housed in long build,
ing facing one of the principal streets
of the city. There are entrances along
the front of this building about every
twenty feet which enter into waiting
rooms. Each of these waiting rooms is
for applicants for work of a specific
sort
These Offices are kept in close CON
tact with the others and when posi-
tions become available those who have
applied are directed to report to the
persons needing their services. The
prospective employer, of course, ob.
tains from the unemployment office
such information as is on file concern
ing the applicant. The whole operation,

POSITION OF THE ATHLETICS IN THE RACE

Boston in the race for the world s baseball cham
ponship title in having the first two games
from the Philadelphia Athletics on the latter 5
grounds but the Pennsylvania fans whose loyalty
is genuine will not abandon hope of Manager Connie
Mack's players finally triumphng
As matters stood before the start of to-day's
contest,-the first to be played in the Bean-eat-
ers stronghold, Boston had two victories to her
credit, while the Athletics had none Thus Boston
had the advantage not only of this big start to-
ward pling up the four victories necessary to clinch
the championship, but the additional advantage
that rests the fact that the next two games were
to be played the home grounds amid friendly
rooters and with every outside encouragement to
win.

Work Obtained For Manv

Enormous numbers of workmen
have been employed through the
agency of these bureaus, in both Eng.
land and Germany and the value of
the community has many times ex-
ceeded the cost by the reduction in un-
employment. The bureaus are careful
ly arranged so that they cannot be
misused by either side Of a labor con-
troversy. During the coming winter
every indication IS that there will be
much unemployment and suffering. The
establishment of unemployment bu-
reaus by our cities, similar to the one
described, even though they may be on
a smaller scale, would prove a profit
able investment to the communities af.
fected and would do much to reduce
the hardship. The department will
gladly aid in the establishment of such
bureaus.
