Why the Moneoose Has Been Barred
Out as a Distinctly "Un-
desirable Alien"

The mongoose is an undesirable
alien The other day the steamer
Dromore Castle locked after n 2S-day
voyage from Cape Town. She re
sembled a modern ark, as her cargo
was animals entirely. Along with the
lions, leopards, koOdoo antelopes, wart
hogs, night apes, gnus, bush babies,
snakes and birds, were IS mongooses
and these were promptly turned back
though Klpling made the mongoose n
hero. The mongoose Is a killer 1t will
tackle anything and is referred to as
the lions provider," because, having
sucked the blood from an animal, II
leaves the carcass for the king Of
beasts. In the tropics, 1t is a friend
Of man, because it cleans out rats and
snakes. 1t did that for Uncle Sam In
Porto Rico. But having rid the local
ity of pests, the mongoose turns to do
nestle animals and fowls, for 1t must
eat. Hence, In 1910, congress passed a
law which bars II from the United
States. The mongoose will tackle and
kill a cobra. But it will also eat a fat
hen. SO the Is are on their way back
to Africa.

FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1922.
pERsHlNo Is MODEST

General Pershlng Is u modest man.
His modesty Is reflected in his uni.
form. That uniform always is per
fectly tailored and immaculate, but In
contrast TO the foreign generals and
admIrals who have visited our shores,
General Pershlng wears but Il single
ribbon decoration. Possessed Of near
ly all the honors that can be be-
slowed upon the warrior of today, he
prefers to wear alone the distinguished
service medal Of his own United
States. OF course, when travelling
abroad, and particularly when he Is
visitor in some land which has be-
slowed a decoration upon him, Cen
eral Pershlng wears that particular
decoration, but here, where his chest
might be Illuminated like a summer
rainbow, the simple little d. S. NJ. Is
enough, says the Washington Post. 1t
will be recalled that General Pershlng
was rendered the distinguished service
cross, but declined 1t on the ground
that that particular decoration should
be confined to those who won It In ac-
ton. That is the restriction upon the
famous Victoria cross of Great Britain,
and General Pershing felt the same
standard should apply to the American
distinguished service cross.

WHY
Fumigation Now Rarely Is
Used as q Disinfectant

The value Of routine fumigatlon Of
rooms IS a means of preventing the
spread of infectious diseases has been
questioned OF late years, says the Jour
nal of the American Medical associa-
ton. The experience Of the health
authorities at Providence, X. l., ex-
tending over many years, indicates
that the abandonment of room dlsin-
lection is not followed by any notice
able increase In the number Of sec.
ondary cases.
In New York and in several other
cities terminal dislnfection has been
omitted since 1913 In cases Of scarlet
fever and in several other diseases.
II is now the general belief that the
germs of acute infection of the resplr-
atory tract do not survive very long
outside the body. The trend of the re-
cent investigation has been TO show
that the main danger OF infection is
by direct transmission from GONZALES
cents, mild cases and healthy carriers.
Better results are likely TO be obtained
in preventing the spread Of most infec-
tious diseases by giving attention to
the human sources OF infection rather
than by resorting to frequent fumiga-
ton with germicidal gas.

1t Is natural to think OF Alaska as
an interesting place filled with tundra,
glaciers, primeyal forests, caribou,
snOw-capped mountains and totem
poles but all very difficult to reach,
and well-nigh impossible TO explore
except by tramplng and Canoeing, says
the Christian Science Monitor 1t
used to be like that, but this summer,
owing TO the opening of an automo-
bile highway built by the United States
government, the mysteries, the beau
ties and the grandeur of the country
Will be open to all who have a touring
car or can afford to rent one. The
main road Is $40 miles long from Val

side roads branch from the main ar.
terry and provide fascinating short
trips. Cars are shipped from Seattle
to Valdez by steamer.

Tributes to American art and art
lists multiply. A frank and lnclslve
one comes from Sigurd Skov, native
of Norway. but long a citizen Of the
United States, the unknown" artist
whose pictures with signature erased
have been selling on secret bid In New
York to see II the people would buy
the work OF nameless artist, says the
Christian Science Monitor. He says
that there is more general interest in
art In Europe than In America, but
that nowhere do artists make more
money than in the United States. He
brushes away the Idea that good
artist spends his life In poverty be-
cause he is not recognized, especially
In America. American artists are
the envy of the whole world" says Mr..
Skov. "See the way they live. No
where do they have such apartments
or pay so much for them. Artists make
as much money as lawyers, doctors, or
butchers" What could be more en-
couraging?

TO how I was going 10 get on the
stage. To the Travellers Aid at the
Grand Central Station put my
query in somewhat different form:
DO you have a list Of reputable
theatrical agencies?"
The lady at the desk didn't. but
she thought I might get such a list
at the Theater Guild.
There in a little crows nest I
found a girl, plump and pleasant.
No, the Theatre Guild didn't have
such a list but from the telephone
directory she selected two agencies
that she assured me were all right.
! then had recourse TO the telephone
book myself and made a list Of some
80 or so theatrical managers and
agencies.
The list began imposingly enough
with David Belasco. Il ended with
Sam Scribner. producer Of burlesque
Then began a heart-breaking tour
OF the agencies. I would poke my
head through a door hoping vaguely
that a producer or manager, sit
ting inside, would observe that
had a certain spirituelle cast OF
countenance. would hop from his
chair and say:
"Ah the very type I've been look
ing for" and bear me off TO triumph.
Instead would find a score or more
people sitting in chairs about the
wall. They would look at me crit!-
cally and then relapse into their
own introspections.
After a while. when the chairs
were all filled and a number OF US
were standing. a bobbed-haired
blond would come out and gay,
Nothing today. No. I'm sorry. but
there's nothing today for any of
you" and we would all get up and
file out.
This happened again and again.
At the managerial Offices Il was no
better. No, Mr.. Belasco and his
whole staff were away. He wouldn't
be doing anything for several
months yet.
