One way to control the fly 10
to catch 1t in such q trap as
is shown above. The trap may
be placed near the garbage can,
or any other place that the files
are sure to come. A simple
and effective trap may be made
from a grocery box BY substi-
tuting wire netting for the top
and two sides, cutting = round
hole In the bottom and inserting
In 1t a wire netting cone with
an sighth-inch opening at the
J bottom and Q half-inch opening
at the top. Some article OF
food, preferably q fish head.
should be placed inside for bait.
The trap must be elevated sew
eral inches above the ground, so
as to give the fiies a chance
to enter. When the trap is full,
it may be emptisd by shaking
its contents through Q small
opening, ordinarily closed by q
sliding door. The trap described
and shown in the illustration 10
Q particularly effective one, az
it was planned with . view to
the fiy's habits. The odor OF
food leads the fly to enter the
trap at the bottom. Once inside
It 10 attracted to the top by the
light. When It gets out Of the
wire cone 1t cannot escape. The
trap has the additional virtue Of
being inexpensive. II may be
made ct q cost Of about twenty
cents and about 9 half hours

RETURN OF THE TOWN HALL.
The old town half which pioneer
Americans set in every township
center" was a good deaLmore than
a civic building. In it the young peo-
pie played Ten Nights in a Bar
Room" and the lodge held its annual
"oyster supper" and the women met
for the quilting bee, and old and
young gathered for a spell down"
It was a place for all social gather
ings which were too large for a
schooIhouse, and not adapted to a
church.
The building of great municipal
halls, as recently taken up, is regard
ed as a purely modern inspiration.
Kansas City has one, and Cleveland
proposes to build one costing S2y500,-

900, if bonding the same is voted at
the next election.
But after all there is nothing new
in the municipal hall idea, except its
many improved features for promot-
ing some very old. social uses.
There is acting, for instance. To
give a play is one Of the Oldest of So
cial inclinations. Just now a craze
for dramatic art is sweeping from the
kindergarten to the college. And
playhouse appears to be one Of the
most desirable features of any mu-
nicipal hall.
Such a municipal theater has been
conducted in Northampton, Mass,
for the past four years. Its director,
Miss Jessie Monstelle, says:
my dream is of a municipal play
house which would include theater,
bowling alley, pool room, gymna-
stun, swimming tank, library and
rest room. If the husband didn't care
to see the play he could let his wife
20 while he amused himself down
stairs. And the rest room would be
only for those who desired at any
time during the day or evening pc
Rod of absolute quiet"
Probably public halls in big and lit
tie towns will soon be looked upon
as a municipal necessity. But if they
are ever to serve any community
completely they must embody ample
opportunities for the same social ac-
tivities which were once offered by
the primitive town hall.

making no greater headway than was to have
been expected, though there is every evidence of
earnest effort on the part of his manager, one
John A. Stewart Of whom little seems to be
known beyond the fact that his office address is
233 Broadway New York. In response to a per-
sonal letter from Mr.. Stewart, asking for an
expression OF opinion on Gen. Woods candidacy

A Shattered Dream.

Rev ]. Ralph Wright, vice president of the
Alliance for Civic Righteousness, is quoted as say
ing, in an address before the convention of the
Washington district OF the Epworth League, that
Washington is immoral city, and that the
young people among whom he has enlisted him
self have determined to "clean it up and paint
it white to make it model for the nation"
This Characterization cannot fail to surprise the
great majority Of the residents Of the Capital
though 1t will be no easy matter to prove to
them that they have been mistaken in their
firm convictions that for several years past
Washington has held rank about as near to
moral perfection as any city Of its size can we'll
hope to attain
So far as appears, Mr.. Wright did not cIassi-
ify the vices and immortality which disgrace our
city but since the red-light district was long ago
broken up, and gambling and the drug traffic
have been suppressed, the number of saloons ycrv
largely reduced and the low drinking places
practically abolished by high license fee and the
rlgld enforcement of drastic excise law. it is
difficult to imagine where the wickedness turks
Certainly the people are no longer familiar with il
and are disposed to pride themselves when visitors
comment on the striking absence of ANYTHING in
Washington that even the most Puritanical
might disapprove. 1t is quite certain that among
the people Of other cities the Capital has 10 such

trary it is becoming known as a city that offers

By virtue Of his office Of vice president of the
Alliance for Civic Righteousness the Reverend
Mr. Wright may be possessed of knowledge
superior to that of the ordinary citizen or visitor
as to the location of the haunts of irnmor-
ality, and in that event the District Com
mlssloners and the superintendent of police
would no doubt be pleased to receive this
information from him. The police department
maintains an efficient and jealous vice squad and
the opinion has long prevailed that there was
nothing suggesting the need OF an investigation
that 1t had overlooked But if the citizens
are mistaken and there still exists in the CAPITAL
any form Of vice or immortality that has escaned

would seem to be in position to advance at
once the cause OF civic righteousness by giving

Outlook Brighter in Mexico.

A somewhat brighter outlook Is seen in the
Mexican imbroglio, even though the border con-
ferences give no promise Of agreement. That,
however, does not so seriously con-
Germ us. With the prompt mobilization
of the National Guard regiments of the bor-
der States, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, now
on the move to concentration camps along the
frontier, the military situation takes on more
cheerful view. While these troops may not be
available, or called, for the invasion of the
emy's country, they can be very useful in defend
ing their country from invasion. Placed in
strong garrisons at exposed points on the bor-
der while guarding communications and bases of
supply they will leave the troops of the regular
army performing those duties, free to ad-
vance to the aid of Cen Pershing, when the time
comes for such advance, which just now looms
conspcuously.
If the break comes the $4,000 and more regu-
lars thus released from border patrol duty by
the militia, will, of course, be sent to re-enforce
Gen. Pershng's $4,000 troops already in Mexico
the punitive expedition, and the war will be
on, with the best to win 1t would be
strange chapter in American history if $4,000

and efficient officers of the United States army

Mexico. Once the determination is made to pro-
tect the lives and property interests OF Amcri-
cans and other nationals-as we are bound to
do-there will be no halt in the march Of United
States troops till the object is attained and order
reigns the border.
If a larger force should be needed, it would
not take much time to bring up the 10000
troops stationed in Hawaii and the 5000 at pres
ent on duty in Panama, where they could be
spared for while. In addition to these there are
$1,000 Coast Artillerymen, trained as nfan-
try soldiers and 5000 marines available for the
service. War was never a more exact science

aValry, on duty as supervisor OF post

mended that the post schools for en-

duty pay to enlisted men Of the army
who are detailed as school teachers dur

There was some opposition to this pro-
posaI for the reason. among other things
that provision has been made for using
the enlisted personnel OF the quarter

army from the detail OF men on extra
duty for special duties of various kinds
Asio" from that, however, the apDropri-
alton for incidental expenses is not suf7-

The Washington herald., 1916-05-12

A government which had been in its
whole spirit federal had. almost of a sud
Gen. become national. alike in method
and in point of view.
The national spirit which the war had
aroused to bring this about had long been
a-making. Many a silent force which
grew quite unobserved from generation TO
generation, in quiet times of wholesome
peace and mere increase OF nature, had
been slowly breeding the thoughts which
had now sprung so vividly into conscious
ness.
The very growth Of the nation. the very
lapse Of time and uninterrupted habit OF
united action. the mere mixture and
movement and distribution of popula
tions. the mere accretions OF policy, the
mere consolidation OF interests: had been
building and strengthening new tissue Of
nationality the years through. and draw
ing links stronger than links OF steel
about the invisible body Of common
thought and purpose which is the sub
stance OF nations.
When the great crisis of secession came
men knew at once now their spirits were
ruled. men OF the South as well as men
Of the North-in what institutions, in
what conceptions OF government their
blood was fixed TO run; and a great and
instant re6djustment took place, which
was for the South. the minority. practi-
cally the readjustment Of conquest and
fundamental revolution, but which was
for the North nothing more than an
awakening
There had been no constitutional forms
for such business. For several years
consequently, Congress had been per
mitted to do by statute what. under the
older conceptions OF the federal law,
could properly be done only by constitu-
tionaI amendment
The necessity for that gone by. II was
suffered to embody in the constitution
what It had already enacted and put into
operation as law. not by the free will OF
the country at large. but by the COM
pulsions OF mere force exercised upon q
minority whose assent was necessary to
the formal completion OF its policy.
The result restored. practically entire
the forms of the constitution; but not be-
fore new methods and irregular, the
methods OF majorities but not the meth
