War on Yellow Fever.

The International health board Rockefeller Foundation) continues to wage relentless war against yellow fever in the parts of the world that are regarded as the seedbeds of this disease.l It is hoped that by this radi- cal plan yellow fever may eventually be altogether eliminated from the world An epidemic was reported in Guatemala in June, 1918. The board dispatched pr. Joseph H. White to the scene. and an energetic campaign was organized, resulting in freeing Guate- mala from the disease in a few months. Late in the year corps of 125 men was put to work destroying stegomyia mosquitoes in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, for the purpose of ridding that city of yellow fever. Since last November the yellow fever work of the International health board has been directed by General Gorgas, late surgeon general of the army.

Mediterranean Air Base.

A far-reaching program of aviation in the French colonial possessions in Africa has been drawn up by the com mission on aerlal transports at Tunis, Algeria, which recommends that h
 great aerial transport center be estab- lished, with Tunis as its base, In order to centralize aerial traffic over the Mediterranean sea. Inasmuch as Tunis occupies an advantageous position, at the junction of French and interna- tional colonial possessions, a regular aerial service, 1t Is urged, between Tunis and outlying districts would benefit the French protectorate. AL ready line of airplanes Is in opera tion between Gabes, an Algerian sea port, and the frontier of ,Tripoli; and this, in the expectation of colonial officials, will be extended to Tunis. So the "unchanging East" is fast be- coming by-word only of times past.

SHEEP HEREABOUTS

Litchfield county papers report that 7,000-acre tract in the region of Norfolk, New Marlboro and San disfield has been bought for the pur- pose of developing sheep ranch. It is to be hoped that this is true It is time that people hereabouts took notice of the opportunity to raise sheep that the rougher parts of the country offer. The trouble with a flock of twenty or thirty sheep is that 1t does not pay to give them enough personal care. When sheep are kept together by the thousands, then the revenue suffices to pay for all the tending that they require.
 This is all that is needed to bring sheep-raising back into custom here xbouts and to bring choice money gains, too. A single dog can in one night dispose of small flock of sheep, that nobody is watching, but, when regular shepherds are watch ing their focks, the chance for the dog disappears. If sheep succeed, they are very profitable. The young bring high prices and the wool more thna pays their keeping. It is a business with two profits. It has been neglected too long. .-Courant.

Thus, the other day, "in conformity with ancient usage" the master, the wardens. and the clerk of the Gardeners company duly waited upon my lord mayor at the Mansion house, and presented him with specimeks of flowers, vegetables, and herbs in remembrance of the long association of the guild with the City. And my lord mayor was very gracious, as lord mayors, no doubt, have been for the last 300 years and more, and the master and the wardens and the clerk were duly reverent, and duly courteous, too as on behalf of the guild they presented to my lord mayors lady" a bouquet of orchids.

GREEKS HAD FORM OF TENNIS
That the Game Is an old One Is Sure, but It's Origin Is Hard
 to Trace.

Discussion of possible changes in the terminology of tennis naturally in- cludes the name itself; and here there are many possible origins. The game, in one form or another, is very old. The Greeks knocked a ball back and forth and called the exercise "phen- nis," for which the Roman name was "teniludium." 'Phennis' and "teni- ludium" were ancestors probably of the similar French sport in the middle ages, and modern tennis may, for that matter, have been named from the province of Tennois, where this game was exceedingly popular. Possibly, but improbably, the name is derived from the French ''tenez," in the sense of 'get ready" Deuce" is generally accepted as another form of the French ''deux," but "racquets" has several possible sources, the most likely perhaps being the old medic val word "rachettef meaning the palm of the hand, when the game was played like modern handball. Chaucer and Shakespeare both knew the game in England, and, whether or not they played it had doubtless looked on with satisfaction. as did Queen Eliza beth.

Safe Liqht for Miners.

Nowadays the up-to-date miner car fies package of electricity about with him while underground. It Is a small storage battery attached to the back of his belt. and Is connected by cord with a lamp fastened to the front of his cap.
 The lamp, provided with reflector, throws quite flood of light in front of the miner. But its chief advantage Is absolute safety
 Tn olden days miners (who must, of course, have light) carried about with them open-flame lamps These caused innumerable disastrous. accidents through ignition of coal dust or gases. Sir Humphry Davy's invention of a safety lamp whose flame was protected by a wire gauge saved an immense number of lives. It is in common use today, but the electric mine lamp is better and more convenient.

 TEACHING IN CHINA
Physical Training School Main
 tained in Shanghai.

The vast majority of Chinese men remember their mothers as cripples Many a girl wanders into mission school who has not had her own feet bound, but has never seen a woman of her, own class who could walk, and, therefore, she walks in a most ungain- ly fashion-scarcely conscious of her natural feet
 The Chinese Medical Association- an Association composed only of Chi- nese physicians mostly graduates from American and English institutions have asked the entire educated commu- nity of the country to cooperate in better health for the children of Chl- na. All the Mission Boards operating in China felt that one of the greatest contributions the Young Women's Christian Association could offer to the health of China would be to es- tablish a normal school for the train Ing of physical directors.
 Accordingly, in Shanghai, which is the greatest port in China, the nation al committee established such school in 1914. The school has won favor with all educationists, both missionary and government There have already been nine graduates from this school. Miss Ying Mel Chun, a graduate of the Wellesley School of Physical Edu- cation, has been dean of the school. Graduates of the school are scattered from Canton to Picking, teaching with conspicuous success in twelve mission and government schools.

ONE-FOURTH WORLDS WOMEN IN CHINA
Seventy Per Cent. Employees in Shanghai Cotton Mills Wom- en and Children Working
 Twelve Hour Shifts.

One-fourth of the women in the world are Chinese-20000 0,000 of them, They are going into industry in large numbers to work long hours and for little money.
 Tn Shanghai, for instance, seventy per cent. of the employees in the cotton mills are women and children. Working hours for spinners are from six in the morning until six at night and from six at night until six in the morning. Weavers work from : 80 in the morning until seven at night and the wages are from ten to twenty cents day. Hundreds of women are em- ployed in silk filature mills, standing hour after hour washing cocoons in cessively hot rooms necessary for apartments where fine silk is spun. In Canton alone, there are 150,000 women in factories at a maximum wage of forty cents a day for women and of fifteen cents day for girls.
 AS part of its program of world service for women the National Young Women's Christian Association is ex- pecting to put on its staff of sec retaries in China an expert on in- dustrial conditions who will develop social work in factories, and work to improve conditions for women em- ployees. This work will include the introduction of recreation and social life among the workers and of health lectures and educational classes.
