Some Word Juggling

The anagram has received much
attention in the literary field. John
Q. Boyer, of Baltimore, on The
Antiquity and Dignity of Puzzles
in "A Key to Puzzledom, . says:
AN ancient form of word Jug
Cling is the anagram, well known
among the mystic Cabalists. The
Hebrews classed it among the cab
alistic sciences, holding it as both
occult and divine. The Cabalists
among the Jews were professed an
agrammatists, the third part of
their art being called themura, or
changing. The occultism of the
anagram was an Oriental practice,
and it was caught by the Greeks, es-
pecially the scholiasts of the Middle
Ages. who agreed with the Cabal-
lists. believing that there was mys-
teal connection between things and
their names Some novel ana

Freshmen Banquet
At Hotel du Pont

The Glass of 1917 of Delaware
College may be small in numbers
but it knows how to pull off fine
banquet. For several days before
the evening of Thursday. March l3,
rumors were floating about college
to the effect that the more numer-
Gus Sophomores would attempt to
abduct the Freshman class officers
and thus prevent their taking part
in their class dinner These ru-
mors We're no more substantial than
the Sophomore Track Team on the
day of the Dickinson game. In
fact nothing occurred to mar the
success of what proved to be most
delightful occasion.
At eight-ffteen o clock. the men,
berS of the class and their invited
guests sat down to dinner in the
Rose Room of the Hotel DUPONT.
Wilmington. Departing from the
custom of former Freshman classes,
the Glass of 1917 decided to omit
the theatre party at DockStader S
and give all their attention to the
dinner. The way in which the af-
fair was conducted reflects great
credit on the officers and the class

most attractive appearance.
Although the members of the
class were all in formal evening
dress and the programme was de-
tinitely laid out, there was plenty
of fun and good spirit throughout
the entire dinner. Songs and
yells. including the new Freshman

sputum of that filthy animal, the
splitting man; it feeds upon human
eXcreta and refuse of all kinds, and
straight from these vile feasts it
will enter our stores or homes and
by means of its hairy feet carry and
distribute particles of these feasts
over the food We are soon to eat.
In the monthly report of one of
our State boards of health is thus
described a scene familiar to all of
us:
In front of grocery, boxes of
blackberries We're exposed for sale.
They were slightly grey; dust and
Swarms of flies were present. On
the sidewalk. within 6 feet of the
berries. some poor diseased mortal
had spat, and this sputum was cir
cled with flies. A moments obser-
walton showed that they flew back
and forth. not only between the ber-
rieS and the Sputum, but also be-
tween the berries and the cutters
filth and street manure. But, most
wonderful, people purchased these
nasty berries and ate them raw.
The fly has another revolving
habit. After feeding upon liquid
foods flies regurgitate from their
crops drops of fluid through their
proboScideS. Infective organisms
are often found in these spots of
vomit. When allowed to feed upon
solid or partially dried food the fly
first moistenS with vomit small
area and then sucks it dry; they
frequently take flight before suck
ing it dry and some one eats the
slice of bread or whatever it is that
the fly had prepared for himself.
This is all disgusting enough TO
sound the knell of the fly; but
when it is known that diseases are
actually carried in this way, the
case is serious. Everyone knows
that the fly Specks'' that one
sees on dishes, loves of bread, and
all about the premises where flies
are allowed are fly otfal, and where
the flies have had access TO typhoid
and dySentery germs specks have
been found to contain active or
ganiSms of typhoid and dysentery:
the tuberculosis organism has also
been found in fly specks and all
three have been found on the feet
and bodies of flies. The work of
the fly has been we'll proved. 1t re-
mains for us TO destroy mis- breed
ing places, and make harmless the
few flies that may find breeding
places in spite of Us, by doing away
with all outside toilets, and by en-
forcing the ordinances against spit
ting: for the diseases spread by the
fly are, when We get at the root of
the matter. diseases for which he is
not responsible, but for which the
and the filthy habits of
man himself are responsible. EX-
perimentS have proven that the
of bacteria carried on the
legs and bodies of flies bears a de-
finite relation to the habits of the
people and the condition of the
streets from whence the flies are
taken. Regard for the ordinary
rules Of sanitation and cleanliness

(Colfax Commoner.)

Governor Lister has shown that he
is the head of the government in this
state by removing four regents of the
University of Washington at Seattle.
The regents recently removed Presi-
dent Kane of the university after he
had refused to resign. Governor Lis
ter opposed this action. He believed
land rightly that it would injure the
school to remove the president in the
midst of the school year. 1t is charg-
ed that the regents, who are Republi-
cans, wished to place Republican at
the head of the state university. The
educational institutions of the state
should be taken out of politics. Partl.
san politics should never be allowed
to control the employment of teachers
in any educational institution. The
fact that he is Republican or DEM
ocrat cannot add to nor deduct from
the qualifications of man or woman
to teach in our schools or colleges.
Governor Lister was right in removing
from the board of regents those men
who placed politics above efficiency
and would injure the great university
for the sake of politics.
