The following clipping from the
New York World Is sent to as by MIR
Barry II. Calkins. who writes This
goes to prove that Our Dumb Ami
mails was quite right In advising It's
It's readers that blue wash for COW
sheds was worth trying"
The Arabs have Ions known that
lies fear or hate the color blue That
is why the houses IN many towns are
kalsomined in light blue. Before the
French Academy Of Sciences recently,
Galaine and Iioulbesrt described the
results OF their observations on the
eyesight OF flies, The only Hight that
these insects see well is white; their
eyes do not see violet and indigo al
all; the vibrations OF the blue and
green rays are disagreeable TO them
aud red has the effect OF darkness
Yellow alone OF all the colored rays
is tolerable Tho solar spectrum as
seen seen by the Dyes OF a fly begins
at green and ends at bright orange
The practical conclusion to he
drawn from this Is that when room
has blue window panes the nles there
in become as inactive as If It were
dark. II stat OF a window blind be
opened to let in ray of white tight
the flies viii rush toward il and go
out through the blind, Blue is
good color for summer, as it keeps
out large part Of the heat rays and
makes a room cool. In Japan they
hang curtains of blue glass beads
mixed with tubes of painted bamboo |
at the entrances TO butchers and |
pastry cooks shops. These let the
air in while the flies go out through |
the interstices between the beads, but |
do not re-enter. Our Dumb Animals. |

HOW ABOUT THE PIcNIoq

There seems to be a disposition
among great many of our people to
f9rego our big annual celebration
this year, the idea being tliat It seems
hardly the proper thing TO celebrate
under existing conditions. The sea
son being late also, is going to make
It very dimcult for the managers toI
devote the necessary time TO looking
after affairs. The ceareity Of labor
is another matter TO be considered
The Herald Is rather ipcilnsd to
agree with them in the main, but
would like to hear from the people
more generally. What DO you think
about Il?

TO THE BOYS OF AMERICA
My boy, this greatest Of all lands was
the first to proclaim that any man
might lead the nation. Young man,
if this does not mean a great deal to
you, it should. Does any other COun-
try give such a stimulating promise
to its boys. 1t means, my boy, that
all our political and social evils exist
because we have not the right sort
of leaders.
Now is the time to show your lead
ership. The country needs large
numbers of strong leaders. Jump
into line and show what you can do.
Because there is political interior
enCe in our army, do not falter.
Where you meet encouragement,
make that a cause for greater deter
minatiOn. Our fathers, who once
fought for US, will see that Uncle
Sam cleans his slate and places real
men at the head Of our departments.
They will see that you get a square
deal, which is all any man asks.
We must aid the infant republic Of
Russia. We must show Germany
that she must throw off her One-man
power government Such a form of
government is disgusting. My boy,
in taking your part now and by TAX
ing it Immediately, you are doing
your mite in the greatest movement 4
for a just cause that it has evert
pleased God to place on this earth.
You are reaching out your hand to
aid in the cause of the destruction Of
Prussianism, the greatest of all dis
graces on earth.
When with Gods help this great
task is performed, a great union of
republics will be formed and through
united effort war will be forever bans

FAINT welfare conferences during the

special exercises on Baby Sunday,

proximately 100000 Sunday school
children take part in these exercises.
