ONE THE ADMINISTRAT
 MUFFED.

Once more the effete East has been outdone by the wild and wooly West. While New Britain has been trudging along with a self-c -complacent air. snug in its belief that it has accom- pl1shed something wonderful in the erection of a municipal Ice house. it has remained for San Antonio Texas. to deliver a shock by the proposed construction of a municipal bat roost
 There are bats and bats but the kind of bats San Antonio has decided to encourage is a winged creature, with an appetite for m osquitoes San An tonic is suffering from these sharp peaked night larks"; has been suffer- ing for years, in fact. But the citizens or that thriving south. western city have decided to be revenged on the pest. No more do they intend to spend restless nights listening to the harmony of the skeeters Nor do they intend to expend their energies vainly swatting at the unseen foe, am mbushed by the dark veil of night. Bats have been rushed to the rescue. Bats, be it known, eat mosquitoes for breakfast, dinner and supper. So a municipal bat roost has been decided on. although it has not been con- structed as yet.
 If the sporting editor were called upon suddenly to write this he would probably through force of habit, put down mark for the local administra- tiOn in the error column. How the idea ever escaped the eagle brain of the administration is past comprehension. Here we have municipal ice house, the top part of which could be used as a bat roost at no expense. The bats could be trained to advance on the city every night and exercise their jaws on the swarms of mosquitoes that fit hither and thither during the balmy summer evenings. And it wouldn't cost cent extra except for the purchase of the bats. A mum Der of well known politicians could he pressed into service to act as nurses to the bats. They would feel per fectly at home,-among friends, so to speak Then a bat commission could be appointed, thus affording the mayor an opportunity to confer titles on some more of his friends. Wheth- CT it would be known as the com i mission on bats or the commission of pats could be left for later discuss sion.
 In the event that the ice house con t1nues to have a depressing effact on the citv treasury, the building might De offered for sale to San Antonio. for a bat belfry. The bats would take to 1t right away as they would -ecog- nize in it a structure suited to their needs and accustomed to the demands made upon 1t by their two-lerged 1 cousins.

It frightens the germs of all affections of the flesh just as the pied skunk by the roadside frlghtens the country belle upon the way to the ball with an ounce of perfume scattered over her party gown. That is why everyone who was born when there still were old women who knew the secrets of life and death, with his blue flannel undershirt in late October and walked confidently amid the dangers of winter. That is why he arrived safely at the season for the annual drenching with sassafras tea, after which it was time to look forward to June apples and the swim ming hole as the reward of discre- ton.
 Grip had not been discovered, or imported, in the days when a small chunk of asafoetida was depended upon to form a coat of mail against ."the pneumony fever,' congestive chills, "agua an fever" and other winter illnesses.

 Asfoetida is not a specific for grip. The fact is that grip is among many diseases which turn tail and flee be- fore it's perfume. Its use as a grip cure, or preventive, is merely the re- vival of a remedy which served pre- vious generations as talisman.

SOCIALISTS WOULD
 FIGHT FOR COUNTRY
Congressman London Declares in Speech in House in Attack on Ma
 donal Preparedness Program.

Washington, Jan 19.-Every social ist in the United States would defend this country if attacked by foreign foe, Representative London of New York, the only socialist in congress, told the house yesterday in an address against preparedness. Attracted by the comparative novelty of a socialist on the floor the house shouted down attempts to limit London's time and spurred him on with questions. His declaration that the socialists would fight was greeted with 'thunderous ap- plause.
 Representative OShaunessy of Rhode Island demanded of London what would be the attitude of the so- cialists in case the American flag were attacked.
 ''I desire to say that if the people of the United States were attacked every socialist would fight" London replied.
 What is the distinction between the flag and the people," half a dozen representatives immediately asked in as many different ways, while London smiled and fenced the question.
 "The people throb with life," he said. while a flag is an emblem only. Any Iunatic from an insane asylum can attack the flag and trample on 1t, but it is a vastly different thing for on attack to be made on the people"
 London then was asked if he sup ported a socialist pledge against en- listment "As for me-" he answered quickly, If we were attacked, noth- ing would prevent me from sacrificing my life"
 Are the socialists in foreign coun- tries helping their nations in the pres ent war;" asked MT. Lobeck of Ne braska.
 Yes" MT. London replied, "but at the same time they are urging that peace negotiations be started"
 The social democracy of the world is opposed to war;" explained MT. London. "but if we are attacked we must defend ourselves"

Lille is a railway center and a manufacturing town of first importance. Lens had just before the present war, a population of 28,OO0.
 Lens has had an eventful history, as all those cities have had which are scattered through the important northern and north eastern parts of France. It grounds were frequently fought over during the wars of the 18th, 18th and 17th centuries. The outstanding occurrence in it's military history was the great battle fought in it's neighborhood by the French and the Spaniards in 164S, in which Louis II of Bourbon, Prince of Condo, gained the victory for the French.

"GENTLEMEN, CHOOSE YOUR
GERMS

To have loved and lost is better than not to have loved at all. By the same process, to have lived and died Is better than not to have lived at all. And this despite the fact we must dwell even in the presence of disease laden bacteria, that we are prone to fall before the fighting forces of 'Microbia." For, we have ever the joy of escaping attack, and also of listening to arguments put forth by the medical men. For proof positive Of the delight of life we take the case of the two Chicago physicians who And all because one believes the human body should be bathed in oil, and his opponent says soap and water is the proper fluid.
 Let them go at it, hammer and tcngs. Any time medical men get to fighting over their theories the world will benefit. And these men are going to choose bacteria as their weapons. One SOOQ 1CCle DaCterlu1ll IS better than all the muskets in the world. And the outcome of this affair of honor will result in informing waiting public whether open air street cars are healthier than the closed type. It seems that the doctor who advocates the oil baths is also great believer in fresh air. Through ms influence the street and elevated transportation companies of the Windy City put on cars without win dows. As a result, the wife of the doctor who stands by soap and water for bathing purposes, caught the grip while riding on what her husband elegantly terms the fool" cars.
 If we are to learn the proper bathing fluid, something the world has been longing for since the old Roman baths went out of existence, if we are to be further enlightened on the rela- tive value of fresh air, then, as diff cult as we find it to condone duelling, we say,-"Gentlemen, choose your ,erms."

Mir. Weeks Amended Biography.
 Providence JournaL)

The presidential bee, like a guilty conscience, is apt to make towards of the best of men, and this accounts for some of the little weaknesses of poli- ticians when seeking high honors at the hands of their fellow-voters.
 This psychological fact is suggested by a reading of the self-prepared biog- laphies of congressman as published in the Congressional directory. That of Senator Weeks of Massachusetts for several years when he was in the House, and for some time after he be- came a senator, included the state ment that he 'is a banker and broker" But after 1914, or about the time that he came to the front as a candidate for the republican nomination for president, the state ment disappeared from the biography "a delicate and, possibly, wise con- cession to public opinion of the pres ent day.
