Ills Reclamation Emphatic.

Another yarn from the mercury
lighted editorial rooms of Park Row.
1t was six in the morning. The city
editor was there. A reporter came in.
He took off his coat. walked over and
picked up a chair and beat It to frag-
ments against a post. This chair
finished. he picked up another and
went through the same process.
Finally the gasping editor called
out: Here, what are you doing2"
am resighing. you gray-haired
idiot" was the reply. "and / am re-
signing In way that will make you
remember me until your dying day.
And after you are dead want piece
of the rope"
Then he marched out and the city
editor got him later in the day by
telephone and offered to double his
salary. but he wouldn't come back.
He has Joined his colors. He will
make fighter, no doubt.-New York

FIeas Spread Bubonic Plague.
The chief iniquity of the flea lies in
its transmission of the germ of the
bubonic plague. The roach has also
been proved an infection conveyer.
We must mention also Rocky Noun

occurred during the spring months In
Montana and the nelghboring states.
The germ of this disease is transmitted
from cattle to man by the tick, which
insect is the responsible agent also for
Texas or cattle fever.

Not long ago an old lady friend died,

Mary asked another woman In the

Mosquito Re ger.
Doctors prefer to speak of malaria
as mosquito fever, for, as everyone
now knows. 1t is the species of mos
quito called Anopheles. which is sole
~ responsible for the propagation of
this disease.
Anopheles breeds in still water in
moist sand or moss, in pools by the
sides of open streams, in permanent
accumulations of water Of every sort
irrigation bitches, stagnant water
where there is green scum, in beds of
old canals, in old horse troughs and
the like. When the blood of a ma
larla sufferer Is sucked into the stom-
ach by anopheles the malaria parasite
in that blood undergoes development ;
and the products of this process enter
the mosquitoes salivary glands and are
elected into the system of the next
person stung. If this latter unfor-
tunate has not vet had malaria he
thus contracts the disease unless his
natural antigerm forces are able to
destroy the parasite before 1t CT a do
any mischief in his body.
Naturally then. the prevention of
malaria depends on the destruction Of
all breeding places within the radius
of mile. The way TO do this is TO
drain or fill in with earth, or to cover
the surface of any water with tmn
film of kerosene. Houses must be

ROMANCE GONE
Efficiency Kills Sentiment as

The modern young man Is robbed of

minutes as it takes hours to knit them.
This is what efficiency does to ro-

In the various Red Cross workrooms

are nearly seventy.1ve sock machines.
Eight Of these are in the model work.
room at 20 East Thirty.eighth street and
others that have been ordered are held
up by traffic conditions. Here instruc-
tors teach the use Of the machine to
Red Cross workers.
A complete pair Of socks can be
made on the machine in 25 minutes.
The machine looks like a cross between
fishing tackle and a pue driver. The
worker threads it through the arm and
carrier on to the threader. The body
of the machine IS circle Of needles
bent at the ends like crochet hooks.
Sweaters also are made on the sock
machine, the strips sewed together and
the rlbbing at top and bottom knitted
on by hand.
Besides the machines In the Red
Cross workrooms there are many
owned by private individuals or groups
who work at home and donate the re.
suits to the Red Cross. In family
hotel, for instance, four or i've women
can club together and buy q machine.
