AFTER ALL American talk about the sacrifice America is making for the allies, the figures produced by Mir. Hoover respecting American consump- tion of sugar are enough to make Am ericans feel uncomfortable and look hypocritical The plain facts are that a period of distressing shortage has at best slightly diminished. Each Ameri- can consumes over twice as much as each Englishman and almost four times as much as each Frenchman. Surely it is time to deal more drastic ally with such anomalies-with such overwhelming indications of refusal or inability on the part of the Ameri- can to abandon under the shock of war the wasteful indulgence of his or dinary desires. Americans are the most reckless consumers of candies and sweet drinks in ,ne world. and it is in this class of consumption which is least necessary and has the small est food value. Something can be done to diminish the drain made by candy stores and soda water fountains on the sugar supply by an appeal to vol untary effort, but the appeal should be backed up by power of coercion with which the food administration is not now possessed hut which should be granted to it some time in the near future.-New Republic.

NOW THAT the government has ruled that a man who pushes a baby buggy is exempt from the draft, a New York genius has asked exemption on the ground that he is a manufac- turer of perambulators. He thinks it's a poor draft that won't blow both ways.

PROOF THAT WORLD MOVES

Take a good-sized bowl, MI 1t nearly
full Of water and place 1t upon the
door Of a room which Is not exposed to

Sprinkle over the surface Of the water.
a coating Of lycopodium powder. Then
upon the surface Of this coating Of

a straight black line. say. an inch or

Having made this little mark with
the charcoal powder on the surlace
Of the contents Of the bowl. lay upon
the floor close to the b"w. a stick or
some other straight object, so that it
will be exactly parallel with the mark.
Il the line happens to be parallel with
Q crack in the floor or with any sta
donary object In the room, this will
serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for q
few hours and then observe the po-
Bition Of the black mark with reference
to the object with which it was
parallel. It win be found to have moved
In the direction opposite to the move
ment Of the earth on its axis. The
earth in simply revolving has carried
the water and everything else in the
bowl around with it, but the powder
on the surface has been left behind
little.
The line will always be found to
have moved from east to west. which
Is perfectly good proof that everything
else has moved the other way.

His Resignation 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 of his coat. walked over and
picked up chair and beat 1t to frag-
ments against post. This chair
finished, he picked up another and
went through the same process.
Finally the gasping editor called
out: Here. what are you doing?"
I'm resigning. you gray-haired
idiot" was the reply, "and I am re-
signing in a 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 win
make a fighter, no doubt.-New XoEk

"A young American soldier passed

1t carries thence from sources of con-
tamination and Of the refuse which

flies breed In manure heaps.
Besides the diseases mentioned flies
have been brought to the bar on in
dictments for having spread cholera.
lockjaw. trachoma granular lids),
anthrax (the stable fly Is here guilty.,
and something like a dozen more
germ diseases. The ordinary fly may
swallow the eggs Of tapeworms and
other intestinal parasites, and then
distribute those eggs where they may
do hurt to humankind.
Before considering other insects
had better state more clearly just how
these pests perform their part in dis
ease dissemination. The germs may
stick to the bodies Of the insects. Or
the germs may be eaten by the INSECTS
and deposited upon human food and
drink with their excreta. Or the IN.
sects may eject the germs from their
mouths upon the skins Of uncleansy
people who do not battle regularly.
Or the insects may die after eating
the germs; and the bodies Of the for
mer may fall into the food; or the
dead insect bodies may dry up. crum-
BILE, be spread in dust and be either
inhaled or injected by human beings
Or the insects (such as the mosQuitO)
may inject into the host with their
sting diseased blood which they have
previously sucked from a previous
sufferer (such as malaria patient).
Mosquito Fever.
Doctors prefer to speak Of malaria
as mosquito fever. for, as everyone
now knows, it 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
laria sufferer Is sucked into the stovu-
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 yet had malaria he
thus contracts the disease unless his
natural antigerm forces are able to
destroy the parasite before 1t can 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 a tnin
film Of kerosene. Houses must be
screened. Anopheles bites only after
shutdown; and only the Lady An
opheles does the mischief. Here. a.
