This moderately cool weather is
the very best time to start the task
Of cxterminating the fly. The insect

The anti-fiy crusade in Washing

gaining for WASHINGTON the distinc-

ton Of the citizens, DIR. Murrry
hopes to reduce to the minimum the
unclcan spots in the city where nies
multiply.
There are only two ways in which
citizens can Cooperate with the
Health Officer in improving the health
conditions OF Washington. The first
is to kill all the files that already
have selected the Capital as their
summer resort, and, secondly, TO
destroy all breeding places OF the
pests. without filth and dirt and un-
clean spots in which to breed. the
fly has lost one OF its essentials. The
point is to rob the dangerous insect
OF all its essentials.

Little Miss Brown" the comedy that

the first time in stock next Monday
afternoon by the Poll Players. This new
play from the pen of the man who
wrote over Might and When
Dreams Come True" is considered by
many competent experts the best farce
by an American author produced in re-
cent years. The story is wholesome,
increasingly funny. and absolutely orig
inal. 1t deals with the amusing ad-
ventures of demure young woman
money in big city. She has arrived
exactly a day ahead of time because
of a mistaken reference to an old
calendar. Her troubles are made worse
by the theft Of her handbag and purse
at the station The resultant complica-
tions furnish the theme of one of the
funniest stage stories written by An
American playwright.

that none OF the new dances have

Washington could draw n lesson
from Chicago, in Mrs. Young's opin-
ion, in the Windy City's wide use OF
schools as social centers. Especially
active part in this movement is taken
by the parent-teachers associations
Of the high schools.

the district in which the school is
located. In our own school VIC do
not have so much need for actual

This was the statement of Mrs.
William Foster Young. president of
