we attack flies in the spring as they
do humble bees we may reap an even
richer crop-of babies lives-instead
Of honey
This curious connection between,
not pigs" but mice, Sin clover"
gave rise to the one famous humorous
flight of Darwin's great intellect. He
once gravely assured group of
ladies that the crop of clover in a
district depended upon the number
Of old maids in the neighborhoodl
They laughed and declared he was
trying to make fun of them, but he
proceeded TO explain, with twinkle
in the corner Of his eye, that humble
bees were the only insects which
could fertiize red clover blossoms;
that the principal enemies of the bum
bic bees were the field mice; that the
greatest enemies OF the field mice
were proving cats, and that the chief
patrons and supporters of cats were
old maids. Q. E. D. (Quod erat
dcmonstrandum), which was to be
demonstrated
This fable teaches us that we may
play the part OF the dcvouring and

can enormously diminish the pestilent
swarms of July and August and save,
not our crop of clover seed, but our
crop of children. For. though the fly
is a fearful nuisance and menace to
grownups, the more we find out about
him and his ways the more clearly it
stands out that he is the special foe of
babies, the real slaughterer of inno-
cents.
The so-called infant mortality in
Summer, that is, the death rate during
the first year of life, depends most
heavily upon two factors-dirty milk,
which the flies have helped to make
dirty, and disease germs borne by
flies.
For instance, DIR. Donald Arm
strong of the New York Association
for Improving the Condition of the
Poor, has repeated on larger scale
the interesting experiment of care
fully screening, cleaning up and other
wise protecting from flies certain ten
ement blocks and districts in various
parts of the city during the summer,
with again the surprising and graf
flying result Of reducing the number
OF deaths and the amount Of sickness
among the children OF the screened
block to less than one-half that Of
| the average OF the ward or district
which surrounded them.
1t seemed too good to be true when
this great reduction was first reported
two years ago, but the second test
proves that it was no mere coinci-
dence.
Further south, where flies are usu-
ally considered natural and inev-
liable feature of the summer climate,
DR.. Ernest Levey, the able and pro-
gressive health officer of Richmond,
Va, after making considerable re-
auctions in the death rate from sum-
mer sickness among infants and chill
dren by strict milk inspection, good
sewerage and free ice, secured the
heaviest drop Of all by insisting,
through his district visiting nurses,
upon the prompt sterilization and dis
posal OF the discharges from the
bowels, so that, flies could not gain ac-
cess to them and carry the germs OF
the disease to other households and
victims.

Cape effects on some Of the new

Some of the most fashionable sum-

Never before have ribbons been so
much used. They are seen, on nearly
every garment. -
A frock made of white material
dotted with blue spots and trimmed
with blue ribbon is ideal for a sum-

A rose fastened to each end of the
girdle makes an unusual finish and
adds sufficient weight and the neces-
sary touch of color.
Silver rings with designs of pea
cocks, their tails studded with jewels,
are among the most interesting Of
recent jewelry modes.

Jake LOeb's action in driving efficient
school teachers out of their positions
when questioned today by a Day
Book reporter. Finally, cOrnered, he
admitted he approved of the Loeb
rule.
Thompson also indicated that he is
against a civil service law for teach
ers and also that he is not in favor of
the Chicago Teachers Federation.
When pinned down for a direct
statement on anything he resorted to
the stereotyped answer: 81 only want
to see something done that will bene-
fit the school children.
81 believe Loeb to be a very sin
cere man" said Thompson. 81 think
he is trying to do something to i'm
prove the school system. He is a
man with the courage of his convic-
tons. I am greatly interested in the
work he is doing because I believe he
is prompted by the highest motives. "
do you think the school board
justified in dropping efficient teach
ers in the way they did yesterday"
he was asked.
81 don't know. I don't think they
will drop any teachers without
cause" he answered.
Don't you thing it strange that
the majority of the teachers dropped
were of the Teachers FederatiOn?'
81 haven't thought of it. l sup
pose the school board wants to run
the schools without interference
from any outside organization. "
What do you think of the ChiCa-
go Teachers Federation"
The mayor hesitated. Finally he
said: 81 really don't know. During
my campaign and since my election
I have heard many complaints about
the school system. Many Of these
complaints were made because of in
reference with the school board by
outside organizations. The people
wanted a change that would benefit

that can be done is to allow the trus-
tees to run the schools without being
in fear of any outside organization"
The mayor was asked again for a
direct statement concerning the fed
Grafton, but refused to mention it by
name.
Several of the teachers want a
civil service law" he was told. They
believe that only through this can
the positions of efficient teachers be
protected. What do you think of it,"
What do they want a civil service
law tori" he snapped. $50 they can
fill the schools with a lot of dummies
that you can't discharge? That
takes the real merit out of civil seTv-
ice. If you have civil service the ex-
aminatiOns should be made very rigid
and the officials should have less
trouble in removing incompetents
than they now have"
Under the Loeb rule don't you
think it will be easy for teachers who
have pull with members of the
school board to retain their positions
without regard to their etnclenCy!'
81 don't know" he admitted. Il
think this rule was merely put into
effect, however, so the school board
can conduct it's business without out
side interference.
The mayor then said: During all
this agitation I've never heard an ar
gUment as to how it is going to effect
the school children. The children
have never been taken into consider
alton in any argument I've heard on
the council floor. Look at the list of

WAR SITUATION.

The position of the British
Government on two matters of
prime Importance in the conduct
of the war is to be determined
as a result of proceedings under
way to-day. The attitude of la
dor toward compulsory military
service will be decided at the
great conference meeting in
Bristol. The debate on the
question of a blockade of Ger
many is before the House of
Commons.
The Bristol conference is the
most important of this kind ever
held in England, representing
more than 1000, 900 members of
trades unions. The compulsory
military service bill having
passed the House of Commons
and encountered little opposition
in the House of Lords, the out
come of the long campaign on
this issue will depend largely on
the attitude of organized labor.
Although great opposition to
~ compulsion developed at the Lon
81 don labor conference, it is be-
1ieved this feeling has died down
TO a considerable extent since
h at time.
There are limitations, unoffi-
cial in nature. that the British
Government has decided against
a formal blockade of Germany.
It is pointed out in English news
papears which reflect the views
of the Government that such a
blockade might weaken Great
Britian's hands and increase
friction with neutrals.
The Austrian drive down the
eastern coast of the Adriatic,
having passed beyond the Mon
tenegrin border, is now said to
have resulted in the capture of

ami di Medua. Rome advices

znent is concerned at the extern

for Avlona, which has been &C.

Durazzo, in the hands OF Essad
Pasha, Provisional President of
Albania, who has cast his lot
with the Entente Allies.
To.day's official reports show
no important changes on any of
the other fronts. The German
War Office announces the failure
/. of French attacks in an effort to
E recapture positions taken by the
\ Germans near Melville. Infan-
try fighting occurred at the
point, but elsewhere the western
front there was little activity.

figures being given at $1,000
killed and 10000 wounded.


The implication from the Ber-
lin dispatch carrying these re.
ports is that the British army of
10000 men is now virtually COOP
ed up in Alden, near the entrance
to the Red Sea, which must be
held if the southern ap oroach to
the Suez canal is to be protected.
A situation quite similar to
this was reported through Ger
man agencies several weeks ago,
but London then announced of
ficially that no apprehensiOns
were entertained Of the outcome
of the operations, which had
been merely in the nature of
Skirmishes.
