deem it wise to take medium-weight long
sleeved union suit; for the harbor of San
Francisco is sometimes cold even in July.
Whether you enjoy the exposition or
not will depend most of all upon your feet.
Be sure your shoes are comfortable, and
better have an extra pair, to rest your feet
Toilet articles, of course, will be carried
in handbag, the smaller the better. Per-
sonally l prefer one about sixteen inches
long and ten inches deep. And don't
make the mistake of packing it too full
l take nail file and scissors, comb, brush,
mirror, toothbrush, and clothes brush.
Then there is handkerchief case and a
small sewing box for mending; and of
course good drinking cup, toilet soap,

one of my rules never to travel without
a bar of laundry soap.

Making Home Attractive for the Bat

THE lowly bat, which has long been
regarded as useless if harmless
creature, is at last coming into its
own. 1t has been officially recognized by
the city of San Antonio, Texas, as an
enemy to mosquitoes and other pests, and
a corresponding aid to the city's fighters
against malaria and other diseases. San
Antonio, therefore, has undertaken to
protect the bat by law, and has even taken
steps to encourage its propagation, by
erecting the first municipal bat-roost of
which there is any record.
All this is the outcome of efforts on the
part of DR.. G. A. Campbell of San Antonio
to eradicate the mosquito, which he holds
is responsible for the spread and perpetual
ton of malaria.
The proposition of the cultivation of
bats has taken fourteen years of DIR.
Campbell's time, and he has spent many
thousands of dollars in scientific inves-
tigation of the problem. Now that the
San Antonio bat-roost has proved its sue
cess, it is DIR. Campbell's idea to have this
natural hygienic measure adopted by gov
ernments, municipalities, or corporations
controlling large bodies of land in malarial
regions, for the protection of the inhabi-
tants The reason is obvious. 1t is the
masses, the poorer classes, the wage-earn-
ers, who are the ones to be most bene-
fitted, as it is they principally who are the
carriers of the disease. They know moth
ing about the dangers from these insects,
or they are careless as to the use of screens,
or perhaps they are too poor to buy them.
We Pay 800, 100000 a Year for
Malaria
nR. l.. O. HOWARD, Chief Entomolo-
gist of the United States Department
of Agriculture, conservatively estimates
the tribute this nation pays to malaria at
500, OOO,O yearly.
This proposition is in a class all by

Don't Take Trunk to the Exposition

I'VE globe-trotted all over the world, and
my first advice to my friends is always
- this: Don't take trunk. No matter
where you live, you can travel comfort
ably to San Francisco stay there as long
as you want, and see the exposition in a
suitcase. A trunk is bulky, it gets in the
way, and frequently doesn't arrive at all.
What You Can Pack in Suitcase
A SUITCASE will hold all this-and it's
\ all you need: A wooden coat, fancy
blouse, and a simple thin dress, two
waists to match your suit, three changes
of summer knit union suits, a couple of
long-sleeved knit corset covers, two cotton
Grape gowns, three muslin corset covers,
a silk or sateen petticoat, a thin kimono,
and four pairs of hose. Instead of wrap, l

Loss of Both Arms Didn't Down Him

W7HEN Mr.. It. C. Gates, a young
w New York electrician, lost both
of his arms as the result of COM
ing into contact with two live wires,
it appeared as if he would be hopelessly
handicapped for life. But when Mr..
Gates had recovered from the operation,
which was the necessary amputation of
his arms above the elbows, he decided to
invest in pair of artificial arms of which
he had heard.
To-day, to see Mr.. Gates button his
shoes, put on his collar, ,fasten his tie,
write his name, lift glass of water to his
lips and drain it off without spilling a
drop,-to see him, in fact go through all
the PAGES of everyday life,-one would
never suspect that in place of the arms
that nature gave him he has wood for
flesh, steel for joints, and rawhide cords
for muscles.
The artificial arms used by Mr. Gates
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1915-07-04

are composed of two hundred and fifty
distinct parts. A mere shrug of the shout
ders controls them. The elbow is bent
by single forward movement of the
stump. By means of cord attached to
the forearm and the shoulder suspender,
he can raise his hands as high as he
wishes high enough to take off his hat
or to brush his hair
By means of another rawhide cord he
controls the fingers of the artificial arms.
A downward movement of the shoulder
produces slight tension on this cord, and
the hand is bent backward from the wrist
joint, causing the fingers to open. Another
shrug causes the fingers to close, locking
them securely upon whatever object is
being handled, from pencil to suit
case.
To unlock the fingers, it is only neces-
sary to repeat the downward movement
of the shoulder.
