It is now well-established fac
that there is a marked difference notet
between the sleeping sickness O.
Nyassaland and that of Uganda. The
former is carried by one form of the
tsetse fly and is relatively uncommon
among the native population, and is
not on the increase. The other form
is carried by another kind Of the same
fly and is much more virulent and is
spreading rapidly among the natives.
The domestic animals are less sus'
ceptible and the wild animals of the
district seem to be largely, If not en-,
tirely immune from it, A British com
mission which has been looking into
the subject has concluded that the
proposed slaughter of the wild ami
mails of that part of the country would
do little if anything toward stamping
out the disease, but rather attention
should be devoted to the extermina,
ton of the fly.

as centrally located as possible.
In deciding a central location,
the business section and the var
ious business houses of all de-
scriptions should be first con-
sidered, for in the business dis
trict all patrons of the office find
their way. The location of a
postofice should not be selected
to further the business interests
of one business house or concern
above that of another, but for
the convenience of all concerned,
and upon this basis, when a
change is made in Roman, we
hope those who have the say in
such matters, will be fair, i'm
partial and just.
1t has been stated that Con-
gresham Evans has said that
the postoffice would not be in
any business house nor in con-
nection with any business house.
This should meet with general
approval. He is also credited
with saying that he himself
would select the location. In
this event Congressman Evans
alone will be held responsible for
any mistake, if any, that may be
made, and for once in his life,
having his own welfare in mind,
he should get his head close
enough to the ground to hear the

turbance among the common

The first cheap daily newspaper

The first cheap daily newspaper is
said to have been started in London
in 1873, when some enterprising pio'
neer launched the Town and Country
Daily Newspaper at the price of q
farthing a copy, or six issues for a
penny. A farthing is the smallest OF
English coins and equal in value ia
half cent of American money. Tha
little paper boosted that it containel
reading matter amounting to five
news columns of the Times. At the
end of two months it changed ita
name to the Sun, which was shortly
thereafter eclipsed forever. Half
penny-or one cent-newspapers are
common enough in England, but there
has been no second effort to publish
at a farthing.

The POstoffice

When Wilson's election as
president became assured, fol.
lowing the election of 1912,
probably the first thing that oc-
Cured to some in Roman, as we'll
as in many other towns, was
that there would in due time be
made change in the custodian
of Uncle Sans mail. Many
changes have already been made,
but the Roman office happened to
be among those whose post
masters term ran we'll into the
Wilson administration. 1t has
been accepted, however, that at
the expiration of Postmaster
Sterling's four year term, some
good democrat would be named
as his successor. Mr.. Sterling's
term expires some time in De-
cember, we believe-at least the
signs Of the time point to the
fact that there will be something
doing in the near future. Mr..
Sterling will not likely be re-
appointed. Not because he has
not made a good and capable
officer, but because he has not
been made into a good and faith
full democrat. There are some
four or five good, clean, capable
gentlemen, unterrifed, offering
their services to the public in
this capacity, either of whom
would, so far as can be judged
at this time, be perfectly ac
ceptable. Each of these gentle
men have their adherents and
are making a strong, clean fight
to win. But outside of a per-
sonal preference, the patrons of
the office are not as deeply in
terested in who the future post
master will be as they are about
where the postoffice will be To-
Gated.
On general principles, the
postofice should be for the &C.
commodation, convenience and
good of the patrons of that par
ticular office, and to best meet
these requirements it should be

GIVING OUR BEST.

We are willing enough, as q rule,
10 look for the best from others, but
are we as careful to give the best
that we can? The question is an old
one that has been discussed many
times and probably will be discussed
far into the future, but as yet it is
an open one to many of us, who, per
haps, rarely think it worth while con.
sidering. 1t is so much easier to ex
pect others to do the necessary good
work that is to be done in this
ers to set high standard OF living
so much easier to sit back and criti.
CHE others for not filling the high
mission entrusted to them than it is
to enter vigorously into the great
work that is to be done for the uni.
versal welfare of mankind Even III
our own limited circle where, perhaps,
we are not expected to WELD very
large influence, we find it convenient
to allow others to give the best that
is in them for our benefit and yet feel
no obligation to give the best we can
in return. The temptation to make
life one-sided, as it were, is very
great, and many of us are not STRONG
enough to resist, but, on the con.
trary, yield only too readily and pass
on to others what appears to us
troublesome, tiresome, mOnotonous
task

EXPECTS TO SHOOT
 TORPEDO FROM HIS NEW STYLE BIPL ANE
Captain Willoughby Making Tests at Newport With
 Unique Invention.

Newport, R. T., July 31.7-Captain Hugh L. Willoughby has moved his new tractor bip1ane to his camp, on the shore of Newport Harbor. and will make several test flights in a few days It is on this machine that4Cap- atin Willoughby is working out the mechanical details of Rear Admiral Bradley A. Ffske's patent that will en- able full size Whitehead torpedo to be launched from an aeroplane.
 This present machine is too small to lift a Whitehead. Captain -Willoughby attempted to purchase a machine of the American type from the Curtiss factory, but was unable to do so. He fi1as decided to build one of his own type of a larger size, especially as the cata1naran formation of the floats which he uses is better suited to this purpose than the single hull of the Curtiss machines and the pushing pro- peIler, he says
 The launching device will be tried on the present machine, using a light dummy of the same size as the White head torpedo The torpedo will be sIung between the two catamaran floats, leaving a clear passage for the launching not obtaina.ble on the single hull type of machine and not inter fered with by the propeller blades, as MT. Willoughby's machine is of the tractor type, with the propeller in front.
 The method of launching the torpedo is to maintain a level as near the sur face of the water as possible and to release the torpedo from both ends, simultaneously. Captain WiIloughby says the true aim of tflN missile will be aided by being'l launched from an aero plane, as there is a much steadier mo- ton in the air; by getting close to the surface of the water, he says, the impace, when the missile strikes, is less and therefore not so easily de- hected.
 The machine is the latest of several models built by Captain Willoughby, and is called the sheerwater. or model F. It has an eight cylinder rCurtiss engine of 80-horse power, model O, a span of Al feet, chord feet, weight [ 1,400 pounds, amounting to 200 pounds. It is equipped with all the WilIoughby patents in France, United States and England. The most important of these inventions is the patent double rud- derssN with inverse and simultaneous action, which are used by the Wright brothers, Glenn Curtiss. Henri Far
 man, Paulan, C. K. Hamilton and Cap tain Baldwin.
 The points of superiority claimed for this model are a greater available free board (about fee) for water run ming; a ''nacelle,' with a better stream line; the single hydroplane step placed so far aft on the float that it relieves tained: improved form of tail con- struction, the natural controls of elor- Eons and rudders, and only second in i, importance for safety to 4he double rudders,'' and the WilIoughby patent ! foot control of the engine.
 i Rear Admiral Fiske now is at New port and will watch the experiments.

HELPLESS ON RAFT, WATCHES C0MRADE
 DROWNING IN POND
Notorious Death Hole" At Evers Quarry Claims
 Another Victim.

While bathing with his friend, Nicholas Orloff, of 57s Berkshire av- enue, in the pond northeast, of BeardsIey park known as Evers' quarry, Leon Merstizky, 192 Willard street, was drowned at 10 o'clock this morning. Upon the arrival of the Emergency ambulance in response to a call from the Park homestead it was learned that Merstizky had fallen from a raft they had been floating on and. being unable to swim, sank to the bottom. Or1off couldn't aid the drowning man as he himself cannot swim No effort was made to recover the body. which is expected to arise after few days.
 Evers' quarry has been the scene of many drowing accidents during the last three years and it has been advised that the owner of the prop erty erect fence about the fatal pond. The depth is estimated at al most 50 feet while tho width is only 20 feet and the length about 30 feet. The water used for bathing facilities is stagnant rain water and it rests in big hole caused by blasting in former years. The bottom and sides of the pond are covered with large jagged rocks and it is believed that a great many of the drowning acci- dents at this place were caused by bathers striking their heads against the jagged rocks in diving into the water

Policeman Frank VireIli. who captured him in Mans field, Ohio. DeMaro will await trial in the city court Monday morning.
 DeMaro with Anthony Lamartino, of 191 Grand street, was arrested in Feb ruary for a mysterious fire February at that address, when tt was later found by Fire Marshal Mooney that several insurance policies had been taken out on the same property There was an estimated amount of about $40o insurance which was insured for more than s1,79o. The prisoners were bound over tostl1e superior court under bonds of $500, but DeMaro did not appear for trial. It was intimated at various times by prosecuting officials that these men were members of the larson trust which atternpted insure ance frauds in New T York recently.
