FLIES AT THE zoo.

To the Editor:
Now that the fly has arrived I wish to bring
to your attention fact which has come under
my observation for the past two years. and,
undoubtedly has existed for a number of them;
and that is that certain animals are kept Gagged
in Zoo Park without proper provision having
been made to keep pests from tormenting them.
l have, particularly, to call to your attention
the wolves, foxes, dogs, etc, which the abomi-
nable fly seems to take especial delight in
annoying; to the extent of eating their
ears until they continually bleed and almost
drive them mad
1t does not seem right to that such ami
mails should be kept Gagged under these cond-
tions, and I feel sure that ina jority OF the
public. for whom they are kept, would not wish
it either. All that would he necessary to rec.
tify this evil would be to properly these
cages with fly.proof wire

THE AGE OF GAS
Rx S. Z. kISER.


GAS, gas, gas! | smell it wherever | go;
VI | get it from each garage ! pass;
1t is waited over the land, alas,
Whenever the breezes blow!
The roaring truck, with its clanking chains,
Rolls on, but the smell of gas remains;
The fiivvers fv, and the taxs tack,
And the sickening fumes of gas float
back;
Impatient cars at the crossings mass,
And the engines throb, and the drivers
frown,
And the seems as if the entire town
Were withering under the blight of gas
VIHERE are the lacs that used to bring
w Their pleasing fragrante in early Spring?
What has become of the blossoms rare
That scattered their sweet scents every
where
The honeyed clover that lured the bees,
And the fragrant bloom of the apple trees?
Where is the scent of the blushing rose?
Do you get it still when the soft wind
blows?
All the incense that used to please
Is smothered now absorbed, alas,
By smell that hovers in every breeze,
For the world is filled with the fumes of
EORGET the scent of the new-mown hay;
Il They NOV with gas the modern farm;
A motor is pulling the plow today,
And the city garden has lost its charm.
The avvers jounce, and the taxis zpp;
The truck roars past on its daily trip;
The roadster roars, and the limousine
Leaves a nauseous trail of gasoline.
But it can't be helped, and it has to be.
For the new things come, and old orders
pass;
Let your nose be trained, and remember we
Who are living in the Age of Gas.

Continuous HarUests.

Gator and heater car service.
Soon our own Spring vegetables
will be upon us. Most of us will
not notice the event because all
winter long we have been eating
the fresh fruits and vegetables of
other climes: from California
peas, asparagus, rhubarb, lettuce
and tomatoes; from Florida Gu
cumbers, potatoes, tomatoes and
lettuce; from Virginia, spinach
and radishes; onions from Texas,
Bermuda, Chile and Egypt;
honey-dew melons from South
Africa; an avalanche of citrus
fruits from Florida, California
and the West Indies; and bananas
from Central America.
Vegetable and fruit gardening
in Florida has become the winter
business of farmers from the
snow-bound North. Passenger
cabins in the coastwise liners are
filed with these migratory farm
ers flying south with the birds in
the fall and returning with them
in the spring.
Soon the refrigerator and venti-
Iator cars will begin their sum-
mer work Of following the fruit
seasons from State to State,
draining the surplus off to the
great hungry cities.
Modern means of transportation
annihilate time and space. And
they win from the seasons one
continuous harvest.

Dutch Tip to
Uncle Sam
~ WENTY-FOUR nations have

recognized the egon
regime in Mexico; the latest,
Holland. .
Naturally, Latin Americans
were first. Akin in blood and
traditions, they are also especially
sympathetic because they under
stand Obregon's difficulties and
value justly what he has done.
Moreover, their relations with
Mexico - political, commercial,
social-are intimate. On the score
Of policy they have much to gain
by accord.
Holland, on the other hand, is
remote and in large measure dis
interested. Her verdict of recog-
milton, granted in face of the con-
tinued aloofness of Mexico's next
door neighbor, the United States,
attests a world sentiment we can
not much longer ignore.
Dutch craftsmanship is careful,
little swayed by prejudices,
frankly respectful of facts. The
facts as to the fitness of the pres
ent government in Mexico for
recognition and moral support
being indisputable, II o | a II d
which knows the need Of restored
comfy among nations, with char
acteristic Dutch honesty, candor
and courage acts accordingly.
There is no reason to believe
that Holland by such action in
tended any reflection upon the
United States. Each chancellery
is the independent judge of its
policy in such matters. That the
Powers with whom we were as
sociated during the war have
withheld recognition Of Obregon,
though fully aware that his gov
ernment deserves it, is doubtless
due to special reasons for defer
ence to us-reasons apart from
the merits of the Mexican ques-
ton.
They owe us money and court
our favor. Holland owes us
nothing and is free to be Just.
Nevertheless, this action at The
Hague is a moral challenge to the
United States.
It invites our Government to
speed its search for the appropri-
ate formula by which it can con-
meet its world duty as champion
of peace and orderly reconstruc-
ton with its nearer obligations Of
good neighborliness.

The Influences of Home

peasants of Russia too poor to buy their

landowners held to all the earth. Is it extraord

the support of the peasant millions when they offered

The foundation of Americas greatness has been
the standards of home life and home ties where
the families did not own their own homes, although
aspiring to do 50. And practically every American
father and mother desires that their children shall be
brought up in comfortable, clean surroundings that
will make them in mature years look back with sweet
memories upon childhood's happy scenes
AS the ideals of Americans for proper home life
weakened by modern innovations just so will be
weakened the national fabric.
The first and foremost desire of every independent
citizen is to own his home If circumstances do not
permit that then his desire is that the home he rents
shall be equipped well his will permit.

surroundings and able to hold their heads up among

Curbing Contempt for
Color.
~ HERE is a resolution befor

~ HERE is a resolution before
the Massachusetts legisla-
ture to memorable Congress
in favor of the passage of the So
called Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill,
which gives the Federal Govern
ment jurisdiction in certain parts
of the country over situations in
which the danger of lynching is
involved.
The humanity and justice of
granting protection to our negro
citizens and, in fact, assuring Con-
stitutional protection of the due
process of law to all our citizens
is too plain to need discussion.
The colored population of the
world is beginning to come into
its own. We heard the other day
of the negro regiment from ia
maica which refused at the order
of the British to sail for India,
there to help the English hold
down in their misery and oppres-
sion the people Of India.
We are making enemies for
ourselves beyond our borders, and
enemies which may become i'm
portant enemies, by our practice
of lynching. Perhaps moro i'm
portant than all, we are losing
the respect Of the thoughtful,
just and discriminating people of
the world by this practice of law
lcssncss and brutality.
