Be WISER, NOT SAD
Here's the Story of Mossback
Who Was Stubborn.
Your Help Needed In Teaching This
Community Dangers From Flies
Which Spread Disease.

Once there was a man in this town
who thought the germ idea was AL
bunk" He declared up and down that
1t was q fad of the doctors and a
scheme to scare people out of their
wits and make money playing on their
fears. He is wiser than he was nine
years ago, but the lesson was expen-
sive and sadie lost one Of his chill
dren with scarlet fever because he
thought the disease wasn't catching.
This is an enlightened community,
but there are still lot Of people here
who pooh-pooh all the fuss we're max
ing about the fly danger. They jeer
and insist it's the work of bunch OF
slick doctors and fool women who
ought to be home minding their babies.
You would be surprised at the number
Of mossbacks who think this fly talk
is "all bunk" too. A mossback Is all
right until he becomes danger to the
health of the neighborhood by his stub.
born ignorance in refusing to help
wipe out the sources of disease and
exterminate disease carriers.
Make it your business to convert the
mossbacks and get them into the army
that is to wage war on the whole fly
tribe here this summer. Once they are
on "our side" they will be valuable
fighters because of their stubbornness

the Hebe's crew was rescued. Nine

Guns Mounted in Overland
Tonneau Prove Successful

The use of motor trucks and armor-
ed automobiles has already been DEM
onstrated in actual warfare, but 1t re-
NAMED for the American troopers now
chasing Pancho villa in Mexico, or
guarding the border to demonstrate
the feasibility of putting ordinary
touring cars to military use.
A few days ago an Overland tour
ing car was driven north of Column
bus, n. NJ, by United States artillery
men. A machine gun vas mounted In
the tonneau and targets were fired at
with the machine travelling and at a
standstill.
The test was reported to be very
successful. 1t was found that a tour
ing car was fully as logical and as
feasible as truck for the purpose. The
demonstration proved that the vibra-
tion of a gun being fired does not
swerve the aim a particle. In fact, the
car barely is shaken. The objection
to cramped quarters was also conclu-
sively dismissed when it was shown
that four men could ride comfortably
in the car with the gun.

raped by the Park Department and
it is understood that the State au-
thorities want to familiarize them
selves with the type of construction
before any further attempts of the
kind are begun. The Muench street
ramp was intended to serve as
trial job.
To make any changes in the origi-
nal plans for the construction of the
ramps permission would have to
be obtained from the State Water
Supply Commission, according to an
official of that body to-day. To date,
no such request has been made nor
have any plans showing proposed
changes been submitted. Complaints
as to the method of construction have
been numerous although no formal
objections have yet been filed with
the State authorities.
In the reconstruction of the Muench
street ramp however the slope was
not only riprapped but the path
was broadened somewhat, the slopes
extended, and the walkway smoothed
with cement to cover protruding
stones.
In authorizing the city to fill in
along the River Front above Hard
scrabble the Water Supply Commits
sion on September 26, 1914, stipulated
that the grade should be no sleeper
than foot in height to every foot
and half of distance. Incidentally.
1t was understood at the time that
there should be a space of five feet
between the toe" of the "fH" and
the eastern edge of the granolithic
