ganization of last year will show
that there were 39 separate govern
mental agencies handling engineer
ing, architectural and public works
functions of related kinds; 26 en-
gagged in surveying or map-making;
81 separate and distinct agencies
with authority to build; 16 author
lied to build roads; 10 engaged in
hydraulic construction; 16 working
on rivers; Is doing chemical inves-
tigation connected with public
works: % doing engineering and
lie land functions. AS General Mar
shall, head of the Army Construc-
ton Division, pointed out: Over in
the Department of Commerce the
Census Officer works with the Bur-
eau of Fisheries, while weights,
measures, concrete and photometry
in the bureau of standards have
their chambers right alongside the
foghorns of the Lighthouse. In the
Treasury Department the Public
Health Service, the Supervising
Architect, the Director of the Mint,
the War Risk Bureau, and the Coast
Guard lie down together; in the De-
partment of Interior we have the
Pension Office and the Alaska En-
cheering Commission, and the Bur-
eau of Education pulls in harness
with st. Elizabeth's hospital for the
Insane. If government work is ev-
er to be done at a cost comparable
to that of commercial construction,
the methods of handling it must be
kept apace with those of commercial
life
What we want, and what the re-
publican party proposes to give, is
an actual survey of all these agen-
cies with view to centraliZing them
in their proper departments, bring
ing, so far as possible, all related
functions under one bureau, looping
off those which are not necessary.
This would mean a huge reduction
in the number of persons now en-
ployed in government work and the
prevention of a vast amount of du-
plication. At present we have no
central administration, such as you
will find in great business corpora
tions, to handle present problems
and to prepare for those of the fut-
ure. Perhaps the best plan would
be that provided for in the Jones'
of Public Works to handle construc-
ton and related problems. Estab-
lish that department on the correct
principle that it may set the correct
precedent, and take the other de-
partments up in their turn in order
that there may be no serious inter-
ference with routine"
what would become of the en-
ployes who lost their jobs, Uncle
Ted?" asked Ruth.
Private industries would employ
those who were competent" replied
Uncle, "but you see the way it is
now, Jack, Uncle Sam with his de-
partments is like the old woman
who lived in a shoe, He has so
many children he doesn't know what
to do So, while Uncle Sam is
studying his 'take-out-ofs' you two
study your arithmetic lesson for to-
morrow and learn your 'goes-in-
tos.'"
Ten minutes later the old mans
doing was disturbed by no sound
save the scratch of the slate PEN
ellis.

SWAT THE FLY

Insects play a definite role in the
transmission of disease, a fact which
has been conclusively demonstrated
over and over again. Many of the
most serious ills of man are convey
ed from person to person through
the medium OF mosquitoes, flies, lice,
ticks and other forms of vermin.
OF the natural enemies of man the
fly unquestionably takes precedence
over all others. We know now that
flies instead of being harmless in
sects of moment only when they in
wade our food supplies, are in reality
highly dangerous, and that a single
fly may be responsible for the devel-
opment of typhoid fever or other i'll
ness of a serious nature.
Flies are extremely prolific, the
stages in the life cycle occupying at
the most, few days, and sexual ma
turity is reached within three or
four days from the date of birth. AS
the eggs of the female usually num-
bers a hundred or more, an increase
In the fly population is possible in a
short period of time.
Flies bred in organic filth. The
manure pile may, be the place of or
igin of thousands of flies, the unpro-
tected and unscreened privy, as we'll
as the waste food products scattered
around the house assist in their
growth. The swarm of flies invar-
iably seen around places of this
character during the summer season
is an indication that not only feed
ing, but actual propagation is in
process.
The breeding season varies with
the climate, usually beginning dur
ing May in the north, but more often
in early April or March in the south.
Propagation continues until late in
September. Flies are very indus
trious in their search for food, crawl
ing over the surface thereof, search
ing for The more dainty morsels. On
their excursions of this character
they may carry with them, particu-
larly on the hairy parts of their legs,
organisms of infectious diseases.
These are distributed over the food
and IL taken into the stomach may
be the infectious agent in any Of
number of diseases.
The eradication of flies is not only
a community matter but a matter of
individual effort. 1t should be borne
in mind that prevention is easier
than eradication therefore we should
institute our eradication campaign
during the early spring month when
the flies from which the millions of
others are to be derived are few in
number. II the energy displayed in
late season fly-killing campaigns
could be directed into proper chan
nels during the early spring months
and If the people would realize that
strict cleanliness and the immedi-
ate destruction of all filth and garb-
age are essential throughout the
year, the fly problem would be
largely solved. Anne Skov.
