FITCHBURG HAS SENT SOME GREAT PLAYERS
 TO MAJOR LEAGUES

Fitchburg. Feb. 5.-Last week in Fitchburg the banquet rendered to Patrick J. Moran, the new Philade1- phia National League manager, ex- empltfed not only the high regard in which the residents hold their fellow citizen. but also the great interest the city has in the national game it. self.
 If every city of New England had furnished so much baseball material as Fitchburg has furnished, particu- larly for the major leagues the play CTS from the south and west would not have stood much of a chance to share in the 1aure1s of the game. And the list by no means is completed by mentioning, besides Moran, Martin, Powell, Ed Cogswe11, Jimmy Callahan Malachi Kittridge and John Keefe, as well as Charles H. Thomas. now a the head of the Chicago National League baseball club.
 Present-day fans, of course, know Pat Moran, Jim Callahan and Malachi Kittridge the best. Kittrtdge

and thereupon become the carriers and transmitters of diseases The question has arisen whether the tstse flies habftua1ly feed on blood. The fnvesti gationK of this question as re- gently discussed in The Journal of the American Medical Association, shows the painstaking care with which all questions relating to pre- ventabIe disease are studied today. The members of the Scientific Com
 mission of the Royal Society of Lon don, in Nyasa1and, 1s1z-1914, under the leadership of Surgeon-Gen eraI Sir David Bruce, have examined a large number of the flies caught in one of the fly areas in Nyasaland The insects were all caught in the bush, away from the paths. The
 niscropic inspection showed that the food of the flies consists mainly of blood. Of the 500 flies examined, 2S8, or 57.6 per cent, were found to contain this in a recognizable state. There seemed to be a predomfnance of the blood of the hartbeest, water buck and other antelopes. From experiments conducted in the 1abora- tory it was conjectured that the flies l feed naturally at least once in every five or six days. Tsers is no diff ference in the feeding habits of the males and females.

ARGENTINE ENVOY
 URGES EXPANSION
 OF U. s. MARKETS

Washington, Feb. 5.-The need of immediate expansion in the conner cial relations between the United States and Argentine was voiced by Ambassador Naon, of Argentina, in addressing the chamber of commerce of the United States today. He de- ropean war Argentina's imports of manufactures had been diminished fully $100, 900, ,O0G and suggested that America uoght to supply this demand.i
 The ambassador quoted Argen tina authorities to show that to obtain a foothold in that market American manufacturers would have to adopt themselves to the business methods in that coutnry. It was pointed out that American commerce suffers in that re- spect by comparison with German commerce, the German plan being tc fulfill all requirements whereas Amer ica seeks to impose it's own business methods.
 The problem Of closer commercial relations, the ambassador said, was a practical question and expressed the belief that it would be solved sooner by a reciprocal study of the conner- cial methods and characteristics of the two countries. To that end he urged the creation of a special Argentine- American chamber of commerce.
 Other speakers included former Am bassador Herfick, Dr. E. F. Pratt, chief of the bureau of foreign and do- mestic commerce, and E.. A. F'ilene, yice-president of the International Congress of Chambers of Commerce.
