BANDAGES MADE BY PAQUIN
AND the Odor Of Disinfectsnt Fills
the House of Worth in These
Troublous Days.

Every dressmaking establishment
of prominence in Paris has done
much toward providing articles of
clothing and surgical dressings fer
the army.
Nine Paquin has opened a hos
pltal in st. Cloud very near her
chateau. Worth has hospital in
some of the rooms of his establish
ment on the Rue de la Paix. The
soldiers who are being cared for by
Worth receive visitors from one to
three IN the afternoon, and MANY
delicacies find their way to these
poor fellows through the generosity
and sympathy of the ladies who pat
ronize the tablishment.
So close to the showrooms are the
hospital rooms that the -odor of dis
infectants permeates the whole es-
tabllshment. The saleswomen ard
manlklns spend their spare mo-
ments In making respirators, band
ages and dressings As one enters
the Worth establishment it is not un.
usual to see arriving at the same
time an ambulance with its burden
of wounded soldiers.
Nine. Paquin has left the direc-
ton of her business entirely to her
sister-in-law and has devoted every
minute of her own time to the care
of the sick and wounded. NJ. Ar
mand of Martial ct Armand is one
of the secretaries of the minister of
war; so he very rarely has any time
to give to his own business.-Anne

GERMANS TO ATTACK
NEUTRAL SHIPPING

BERLIN, Feb. 4.-The Kruez lei
tung, an ultra conservative militar-
ist organ, declares that the German
submarines will be forced to attack
neutral ships unless the neutrals see
that England does not misuse their
flags, The declaration is the result
of published reports that the admir-
atty has ordered neutral flags used.
The Kreuz Zeitung declares that
this admission makes it unable to
longer protect the flag. 1t asserts
this is violation of the international
law and as consequence neutral
flags can no longer accept neutral
shipping because the German naval
commanders can not tell whether it

HERBERT WING is
VICTIM OF RHEUMATISM

Death claimed one of Durango's
best boys last night in the person of
William Herbert Wing, eldest son of
Mrs. Virginia NJ. Wing, of 864 Sixth
avenue, after an illness of months
duration. The boy had been afflicted
with heart trouble since five years of
age, the result of siege with scar
let fever. He had suffered from rheu-
matism for some time past About
four weeks ago the disease reached
such an acute stage he was confined
to his bed About ten days ago his
condition became so serious that prac-
tically all hope for his recovery was
abandoned.
Herbert Wing was born in this city
in July, 1895. Nearly all his life was
spent here. He was splendid lad
in every respect, one who was the
greatest comfort to his family. His
devotion to his mother is one of her
most cherished memories.
In addition to his mother he is sur
vived by one brother and several
aunts and uncles.
| According to present arrangements
| the funeral will be held from the M.
E. church Sunday afternoon at

THE HOUSE FLY AGAIN.

The house fly in the abstract has
received a great deal of attention in
the last few years. As soon as ty-
rhoid was coupled with his habits
and wanderings he was given in
creased attention, but it was not un-
til a few weeks ago that the wan
derings of individual members of the
fly family were studied and chart
ed
A series of studies conducted in
Cambridge, England, on the range of
the flight of flies of this species has
been made the subject of a report to
the government board ON public
health and medical students. Upward
of 10000 flies were liberated, under
various meteorologic conditions from
the medical buildings at Cambridge.
Of these insects, colored for identi-
fication, 191 were recovered The re-
suits showed that house flies tend to
travel either against or across the
wind. The actual direction followed
may be determined either directly and
by the action of the wind. or indi-
rectly owing to the flies being at
trscted by odors from food. A point
in favor of this supposftion is the ma
ture of the station at which flies were
recovered after they had travelled any
distance. These comprised butch
er's shop public houses and restau-
rant, all If which gave off odors that
are notoriously attractive to flies.
the chief conditions favoring the
dispersal of flies are fine weather and
a warm temperature. The nature of
the locality is another considerable
factor, because in towns flies do not
travel as far as in open country, prob
ably due to the food and shelter af-
fDrded by the houses. With regard
to the altitude of the point of liberia.
tion, flies set free from the roof tend.
I'd to disperse slightly better than
tio SC liberated from the ground, but
the differences are not very consider
able. 1t has been observed, with re-
gard to the vertical flight of the
house-fly, that it may mount almost
directly upward to a height of forty
five feet or more. The time of day
appears to influence the dispersal o.
the insects, as, apparently, when set
free in the afternoon they do not scat
ter SO well as when liberated in the
mroning.
The maximum flight observed in
the thickly housed localities in Cam
bridge was about a quarter of mile.
In one case, where part of the dis
tance was across open fenland, a
flight of ITO yards was noted. In
experiments conducted in Cook eoun-
ty, Illinois, by S. A. Forbes, flies
were trapped, and after being spray
ed with chemical solution for rec
ognition. We're liberated from a hos
pitai in that district. They too were
recovered at distances ranging up to
a quarter If mile from the point of
liberation. The distance flies may
travel to reach dwellings is controli-
ed by circumstances. Almost any
leasonaele distance may be covered
by the fly under compulsion TO reach
food and shelter.

RUSSIANS ABANDON

LONDON, Feb. 4.-The Russians
have abandoned their march toward
konigsberg.. dispatches from Pet
rograd for the past three days do not
mention their progress. According to
advices they met with a superior
force and were obliged to halt.

preventing their crossing the Angerap D

unable to dislodge them from their
strong position.
The Russians encountered an un-
expectedly large force northeast of

the west experts are chiefly concern
ed over the new German attacks on
Verdun. The crown princes army
has renewed its efforts to drive the

THE ONE HUNDRED POINTERS.

Dayton Daily News.
A Hundred Pointer is a sahlesban
for the National Register company
who has sold cash registers amount
ing to certain number of dollars
in a given length of time. For in
stance, if twenty-five dollars repre-
sents point, the sale of a register
worth two hundred dollars would en-
title the salesman to a credit of eight
points-and SO on.
In order to become Hundrer
Pointer it is necessary to cut out the
rough stuff, forget the dice box, soft
pedal on the narcotics and cross the
fingers when invited to a midnight
dinner with cabaret trimmings. One
must be clean, maintain perfect poise,
encourage health, keep the mind alert,
understand what he is trying to do,
and keep awake while at the switch.
Luck plays no part in the game, and
being a good fellow and soaking up
the booze doesn't sell cash registers
or anything else.
The idea, born in the fertile brain
Of John II. Patterson has been adopt
ed in other businesses. A Hundred
Pointer has come to mean an efficient
man in any line. A Hundred Point
lawyer doesn't lose many cases and a
Hundred Point doctor doesn't have to
call in an undertaken to cover up his
mistakes.
There is n Hundred Point club in
the Ohio penitentiary. The convicts
are graded according to their con-
duct and efficiency. The Hundred
Pointers are paid four cents an hour
more than the other convicts and are
allowed more privileges. Nearly every
convict in the prison is striving to
be Hundred Pointer, because all
of them know that it pays. 1t is
amusing to hear the prisoners talking
about Hundred Pointers, and to real
ize that they do not know where the
idea started. But it is inspiring to
know that even men in the peniten-
tiary realize that efficiency is thing
of value.
