ering a novel way to abate a
nuisance perpetuated through ignor-
ance and Indifference. The plan Is
to give owners of breeding places
the option to fill or drain them, Or
to have them oiled at their expense
at regular intervals under the aus
pices of the board.
1t is thought that after paying a
few tolls the wisdom of permanently
abating the nuisance will be appar-
ent IT, the callous offenders.
Hygienic- Economy Mosquito Bars.
Bars of the bobbnet kind have
doubled in price; to make three out
of two is an economy To do this,
| the bar must be of the cone type.
To make, cut off one-third of the
top OF en- unmade bar (they are
usually 9 feet high) and reserve this
strip for the second bar. Form
three-foot ring by twisting the ends
of one or two strands of telephone
| wire, and cover it with a hood of
| cotton cloth. Sew small ring to
the upper center. Sew the short
ends OF the bobbinet together, and
plOdL Guu sew Tic Toy " Tic 1luS.
| Hang it by the ring from hook
| attached to a small rope working
| through a pulley screwed into the
ceiling
A self-locking pulley is recon-
| mended. The ring does not inter
! fere with laundering. First cost
cost economy is not the prime adj
vantage. The bar is quickly de-
tached from the hook, and may be
hidden under the bedding when not
in use, assuring dust-free bar that
requires less washing, and, conse-
quentJy gives longer Life. II mos.
| quitos gain an entrance, drop the
| top ana raise one side, and the mos
quit0s are gone. The hygienic-
economy features should cause this
bar 10 find favor in every well regu-
lated home.

Without warning you are aroused

night noises, and why other kinds
allow soultess railroads and corpora

Hyphenism Back Again

In his sermon on Thanksgiving
Day Monsignor Lavelle, rector of St.
Patrick's Cathedral, exhorted his
hearers to pray for "wisdom to re-
tain the confidence which the Irish
race has won and holds to-day"
And while the words of the ad-
monition still frcighted the air came
the noise Of breaking glass and
hurting brickbats. The wise had
caught sight of British flag across
the way and were irritated. And
the learned priest, following after to
the place of disturbance, felt it ap-
eropriate to beg the attacked to COM
ply with the demands of the mob.
1t is the misfortune Of Irish agi-
tation to fall under the leadership Of
hysterical extremists. No sooner is
some credence gained for claims that
the English are monsters and the
Irish arc patient saints than is
heard the sound Of shillclaghs. The
scene on Fifth Avenue was not cal
culated to persuade the wavering
that the Irish majority can be
trusted to be just and tolerant
toward the Irish minority. Britain
is surely we'll served in this country
by those who are flied with frenzy
when they look on the British en-
blem. TO tear down the British
flag in New York is scarcely good
way to induce our people to assist in
eevating the Irish flag inpDublin.
Besides his inopportune remarks
concerning wisdom, Monsignor La
velle said another interesting thing.
He referred to the American Repub-
lie as "Greater Ireland" Hyphen-
ism was supposed to be dead, but
here it is again grinning at us. We
lave been annexed by the mythical
government of De Valera, and it is
The privilege Of this gentleman, who
steadily .'efused to take the risks of
residence in the older part of his
dominion, 10 impose his taste in
flags on us.

point, assure you. because it must ..
admitted that a free and independent
state where Ireland now stews its
bloody broth would most certainly con.
stitute boil on the back Of Britanniss
neck; but viii it do any harm to give
the whole subject little impartial dis
cussion?
In the first place, how did Englsnd
acquire the divine right 20 Ireland? In
the twelfth century one Of the popes
presented il to British king. Since
then it appears to have been England's
property, even though they have long
since broken with the Pope and have
questioned his divine right TO either
material or spiritual rule This hardly
think could be construed as synony-
nous with consistency. But-oh, well,
we weren't there to witness the trans
lction, so let's come up to date
Washington was renegade English
man. The Boston Tea Party has had its
parallel in Ireland France considered
it good policy to help the Colonial rebels.
1t may not have been any of her busi-
ness to NEEDLE in England's affairs, but
She did. Britain gave the Confederacy
Of the South her aid and succor in the
Civil War, and that rebellion was es-
aentially internal
We had not been presented with the
South by any patronizing prince.
Can the world today be denied 10
tersst in the Irish situation, especially
in view of the fact that seIf-determns-
ton has been lauded by all nations II
the last few years?
England has educated the world to
believe that Ireland is unabl. and thor
oughly incompetent to govern herself
She has thus demonstrated her ability
as an advertiser. But IS it ethical
advertising? It docs prove, though, thai
advertising can sell "blue SKY"
Some Of the greatest statesmen ths'
ever lived have been Irishmen. A great
many have handled the wheel Of Brit
aims ship Of state, and an abundance Of
our own politicians have been sons Of
Erin. Is II. then, impossible for irish
statesmen to guide the destiny OF az
Irish ship of state?
Why, then, may not interroeats'
has the world in general no right to
take an interest in Ireland, to the e1'
tent Of making It's influence felt-th'
main goal being peace and prosperity i0'
Ireland?
