were then released in the heart of the
city and allowed to shift for them

sections. and each rat was labeled as

Influenced by abundance or scarcity OF

This migratory habit of rodents ex-
plains many facts connected with the
dissemination OF plague; 1T will also
doubtless prove enlightening to those
WHO have attempted to exterminate
rats for economic reasons. The Indian
plague commission was of the opinion
that rats seldom journeyed from one
section of the city to another, but the
conclusion of the public health officials
is quite the opposite. AS a measure
of the success of trapping operations,
it is interesting to note that over one

Interesting War Contribution.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
ROME. June 15.-Among the funds
which are pouring into the committees
in every city of Italy to provide COM
forts and necessaries for those who
are suffering directly or indirectly
through the war, an interesting con-
tribution of nearly $500 has been re-
ceived by the committee for civil prem
aration at Bologna. The COMMITTEES
existed during the war Of independ-
ence in 1855. and this sum. which was
then only $50, was the balance which
remained to the fund after the war
was over. It was deposited in the
name of Count Salina. a wen known
patriot of the town, and in forty-nine
years 1t has moro than quintupled

 The opportunity for the citizens of skagway to meet and get ac- ouaiuted with the working heads of ;hree important corporations-one of which embraces rail and water transportation, and is feeder for a portion of Canada as well as the whole of the interior of Alaska tri- butary to the Yukon river, the oth- CT two representing large capitaliza- tions for the exploitation and devel- opment of Alaskan and Canadian mineral deposits of both placer and quartz, was brought about by the individual efforts of a private citizen of Skagway, who, for this exhibition of public-spiritedness, al though it is not by any means his first along the same lines, we be- lieve, is deserving of appreciation by the entire community.
 That he was unable to include greater number in his invitation was a matter of regret, but una voidable on account of the short notice in which the affair was got ten up, and the lack of facilities for handling more people.

QUARANTINE VICE

Police and health board officials, who have been cooperating in q plan to check the spread of disease re- sultlno from wide open conditions in the red light sections, are about ready to launch a new campaign. it is hiuted,
 The new plan, which is eXperi- mental in nature, will be the quar- antining Uf any resort which is re- ported to the police as q menace.
 The quarantine method, it is Said, will be employed as a substi- ute for tLe old police method, now discarded. of closing up resorts which failed to comply with the de partmeut's regulations providing for registration and medical inspection, or which failed to report inmates suffering from disease.
 Officially" Detroit has had no vice section for the past Is months, the resorts having been closed by order e Police Commissioner John Gillespie, in October 1913. It is 2n open secret, however, that the police have found themselves unable rnGer present conditions, to cope with the scores of vicious houses that are operating openly ill many sections. To meet this new cOndi- tion, without officially recognizing the failure of his elimination" or der, the commissioner is said to fla yor trying out of the quarantine plan. l.a
 Under the proposed new method, any resort that is considered menace, will be quarantined by the health officials, placarded and in other ways treated as though small pox or some highly contagious di- sease existed there. 4

 While several of the business msn of Skagway gave short talks on matters of timely local in- tere,t. the remarks deserving of tine sreatest amount of attention were those of a comparative stranger 10 Sksoway. but whose advice, if followed out will enable us, throrgh our own efforts, to raise ourselves far enough out of the quicksands of business despondency which we have allowed to engulf us, so that We may grasp and cling fast to the .tCn,iue that is surely coming with in on. reach at no distant day, and winch will enable us to drag cur selves to a firm foottold On the e,u- siy- island of prosperity.
