tomoiogists.
Washington, Sept. 12.-There Is IN
Washington a man inconspicuously
doing his bit, or his all, for his coun-
try by serving as host for oooS
lice the "cooties" of the war zone.
He is cooperating, in a very personal
and intimate degree, with entoHlolo-
gists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture who are STRIVING
under the direction of the Council of
Research of the Council Of National
Defense, to find preventives and ex-
terminators for the pests that not
only annoy and irritate American
soldiers, but that spread trench
fever and other diseases among them.
This man formerly served the city
of Chicago in a public capacity. He
has a son with the American Ex-
peditionary Forces in France. and
when he volunteered to be a subject
in the experimental work Of the
entomologists he said he was willing
to do anything that--would help out
the boys over there. Valuable data
in regard to the control of the
"cootie" have been obtained from the
parasites living on his body, and
moving pictures of them have been
taken through microscope. The
pictures are to be magnifed and
shown at army camps before scien-
lists and army officers engaged in
delousing work.
The entomologists, in addition to
watching these particular "cooties"
and others confined in glass tubes
and other places, are testing chemi-
calls to learn their destructive action
on lice. their effect on human bodies
and their penetration Of clothing.
Also. they are cooperating with army
officers in testing laundering and de-
lousing processes They are trying
to add to the knowledge Of how to
repel, kill or drive away the tiny
parasites that to many Of our SOL
diers have proved more troublesome
| than the Huns or the bullets of the
Huns.

ORR BOYS OVER THERE.

In this world OF clouds and sunshine,
With its turmoil and its strife;
We are called to save our country
And to battle for our life.
We must leave our loved ones weeping,
And march bravely to our work;
Ever mindful OF instructions,
From our duty never shirk.
We are here-our country calls us.
We must save the U. S. A.
With her flag of honor flying
We must do our part each day.
There's a cause for all this trouble,
Nothing came by chance alone.
Ships were sunk. out in the ocean,
And for this We must atone.
We are only human beings,
But are hearts are stout and brave;
And we're on our way to conquer,
Our good nation we must save.
Let us bravely face the music,
Knowing that we're in the right;
Trusting that Higher Power
Watcheth DER us day and night.
If we bravely show our colors,
And we labor with our might,
Well return to join the loved ones
Knowing that our cause was right.
When the dawn of peace IS breaking,
And the silvery clouds appear;
Let our watchword be-"Victorious,"
For our rights we still hold dear.
Let us then be up and doing,
Stars and stripes our story tell;
For we trust in Him above us,
"He who doeth all things we'll"
