swimming pool In the school, which
is not being used by either the day
or evening classes because of the
large number of leaks in IL. No
money has been appropriated to re-
pair the tank when the expenses for
the school year were made recently.
and for that reason neither the rec
rcation commission. which has been
permitted the use OF the gymnasium
and pools In the various schools by
the Board Of Education, or the
Board of Education are TO make any
repairs to the pool. which will have
to remain idle until some one is
authorized by the common council
or by the Board OF Estimates to
make repairs to the pool.
All Of the youns men and the
young ladies who have enrolled In
the physical courses at the Eastern
are very much disappointed with
the way things have turned out. as
Q great many OF them enrolled In
the classes so that they could get
q chance to use the large POOL, which
Is usually provided with the physi-
cal course at the Eastern Evening
High school. The classes. however.
have not been materially decreased
because of this unfortunate event.
and while a great many more young
men and ladies would have enrolled
In the course IL the tank were In,
good condition. still Mr.. Byrne, the
chief physical instructor for the
young men at Eastern, thinks that
the enrolment in classes and the
enthusiasm OF the students Is
greater than was expected, and Is
confident that the classes will have
q very successful term. even though
handicapped without the swimming
pool.
The Central highs tank Is open
for the evening gymnasium classes.
and as a result the classes are very
well attended

of flies partly through the agenc,

TEN has largely taken the place Of
the old-fashioned privy vault.
The role played by this little dis
ease carrier In the transmission OF
disease may not be SO evident In
Detroit. still 1t is undoubtedly there
to some extent at any rate.
During the last half of the year
1914. 81 per cent Of the typhoid
cases reported to the board OF
Health were directly credttable to
contact. either direct or indirect
with the fly.
AS we have seen, the fly Is a very
potent disease factor In the matter
of indirect contact since II does not
only carry the germ but forms a
medium for the development and
growth of the germ. Should We ad.
nit that we are unable to control
or exterminate an insect so insig
niflcant In size as the house ny!
We certainly should not. since we
have at hand the necessary facts
by which We can carry on our cam
paign.
However, we must have the CO
operation OF the people as whole
and individually, and they can be
reached only by education. They
must be told why the fly is not only
pest and nuisance but likewise
menace to our health. and then
they must be shown how to main
tain the fight against the little In
sect.
Fortunately flies do not travel a
great distance. One experimentel
carefully colored the wings OF some
$4,000 flies with red or yellow chalk
powder and then released them al
different times under varying
weather conditions. He observed
that no fly travelled 1000 IT. and
that the average under ordinary
city conditions, with houses densely
crowded together would not exceed
over 1900 feet.
The flies which feed and breed In
your own home refuse pals and In
the manure piles in back OF your
barn, are the very ones which Will
carry dirt, filth and disease germs
into your own home. See to It that
your own premises and those OF
your neighbors are kept in sani
tary condition.
The fly Is usually born In ma
nure pile. although he may choose
his abode-garbage, refuse. rubbish
or other organic matter. The re-
male fly lays about 1000 eggs dur
ing a season and about 100 eggs at
one time. These eggs In a few
hours become maggots. and after
another transformation. the full
grown fly appears at the end Of ter
days. A famous entomologist has
figured that, starting In April with
a single Overwhelming fly laying Its
FIRST eggs, by September there will
be by the simple process OF repro
duction, a formidable army OF $685.
100, 900 adult flies. What a multiple
of "swats" in September could have
been saved BY single well-directed
swat in April,

A NOTE OF
INTEREST TO THE
SCHOOL EDITORS


The following open letter IL sent
by Reginald Brewer to all OF the
junior editors Of the school page.
II Is q direct appeal to ell and
should be acted on.
There are great many junior
editors who don't even know what
the club Is or it's objects are.
II you are one Of them, come
down to the next meeting and
everything will be explained.
Fellow Editors:
AZ charter member Of The De-
troit Times School Department, and
as editor-in-chicf Of Eastern high, i
take great interest In the welfare
Of the junior editors and Of the
school department.
Ever since the commencement Of
the school page, there has been a
lack of cooperation; that is, all
editors have worked for their
school and themselves and have
not manifested any interest in the
doings OF their colleagues.
Therefore, the school editor and
several of his friends have been
trying to conceive some plan by
which sll the editors could come
In intimate contact with "the other
fellow" and the best solution seems
to be an Editors club.
One or two meetings were held at
the Board OF Health building. but
without success, put now our plans
have shaped. 90 that we can handle
the proposition upon larger scale
and we wish to see every live editor
take an interest In the club.
The prospects Of the School De-
partment are so great that they
cannot be realized. but up until the
present time, the lack of success In
the School Editors club was due
to not enough system" System, sys-
TEN Is the word, and system Is only
produced by every one working In
harmony with each other. Now.
the fact that we realize that the
editors must know each other, Is
the stepping stone 10 our plan OF
system" II has always been
known that two heads are better
than one," but nevertheless better
results could be secured II we could
all meet together and discuss our
wants and complaints"
Perhaps some editor out In Del
ray has some fine idea, which, II
only brought out, would improve
the work of some other editor or
school. and that Ia what we want
some means Of discussing ways and
means of securing better results.
Now! Everybody BOOST" and
boost hard. We want every junior
editor present at our next meeting,
Monday, Nov. 1, at 1880 p. m, at
The Detroit Times office; and girls,
don't be afraid To come, this club
is for the girls as well as for the
boys. and we want everybody there
next Monday.
There are three things to remem-
Der:
Remember the place, The Detroit
Times building. Remember the
time, Monday. Nov. 1, 1880 p. m.
And. above all, remember to come.
Bring the other fellow with you
and wen do the rest. Don't for
get. Yours, sincerely,
REGINALD BREWER,

issue a temporary injunction to prevent

Company from taking steps to bring
about the cancellation OF its debt TO the

The temporary injunction was asked

Minneapolis and ST. Louis controlled

directors and was endeavoring to escape
It's obligations to the leased road.
Under the lease. Enc said, the Des

prepared at Camp whitman in his honor.
Owing to the lateness OF the hour tho
Governor decided not to return to the
camp and wen directly to the Nelson
House. at which place the appointment
had been arranged.
When his presence became known in
the hotel the hotel lobby was damned
and hundreds of people massed them
selves in front of the building. A half
dozen policemen were called to handle
the crowd. and a detective was sent to
the first floor to keep persons away from
the room in which the Governor was.
Mr.. Johnston was soil about Mrs.
Becker and several times requested that
no effort be made to interview her.
1T Is nc time" aid he. as he an
nounced that he proposed to go to Sing
Sing prison by automobile to save an
noyance. lie left the hotel with Mrs.
Becker in a taxicab.
Gov. whitman said he did not feel
that he could talk more about the case
and said his only desire was to return
to Albany. II was learned that at one
point Of the talk with Mrs. Becker the
Governor asked her to tell him anything
new she might know. even In the strict
est confidence. She said she had nothing
to tell.
At no time did she attempt to bargain
for the life of her husband. She did not
say that he would give information 10
the prosecuting officer. She had APP
pealed TO the Governor for a communal
ton from the death sentence. She did
not ask that he he p%ardoned. She re-
eatedly asked that his life be spared.
And as often the Governor replied that
his duty was plain and he could not in
terfere with the carving out of the
mandate OF the court.
The last words Mr.. Johnston said 10
the reporters AS he got into his taxlcah
were that Mrs. Becker had done all 81.
could In the interest OF her husband and
she still maintained that he was not
guilty of murder.
II was apparent that the Governor had
made up his mind as 20 what he was
going to do with the application of coun.
sci and Mrs. Becker. for before leaving
the reviewing stand at Fishkill Plains hs
said
