Sir: What an amateurish version of
an unusually interesting game you de-
scribe in Fridays Tower! Surely, you
do not know how Swat the Skeeter is
played by the ardent devotees of this
popular indoor sport!
A perfect score can be made by any
but tyro if the hand is used as the
mashie. We employ a rubber band
and q green pea, and as evidence of
the thrilling interest with which we
| play this game l need but mention the
fact that the contest frequently lasts
as long as the targets do-which in
| this community is quite some and then
some more.
Perhaps you will see fit to recant
your malignant slander of this most
noble sport. OLE BURN.
Sir: Regret to inform you that your
much vaunted new indoor sport works
with disastrous effects on the wall
paper and ceiling of the course.
| There is, however, novel addition
that adds zest and helps avoid trouble
with your landlord-a vacuum cleaner.

when the storage compartment of the
machine becomes full large mosquitoes

The chief trouble with these confer
ences held by the Allies for the purpose

Mr.. Beveridge possesses a highly

raised for Roosevelt in 1912. His
nomination is naturally pleasing to
Republicans who fear for their
party's future II it becomes asso-
ciated in the public mind with a
passion for reaction and extreme
conservatism. New leaven Is con-
stantly needed in politics, and a

the spirit OF Roosevelt will be to
the party's advantage.

Our neighbor, the World, speaks
definitely and positively OF the Bev-
eridge nomination for the Senate in
Indiana II says: Senator News de-
feat for denomination in the Indiana
primaries is President Harding's
defeat. The Republican voters OF In
diana have repudiated the Harding
Administration"
The World makes this statement
as a fact. II is not an assumption
or deduction. II is son and that's
all there is Of It, But this is way
the World has OF expressing itself
on political matters.
The Worlds statement that News
defeat is President Harding's de-
feat. that NEWS defeat is the re-
pudiation OF the Harding Admins
tration. is based on the well-known
intimate friendship between Senator
New and President Harding. This
in the eyes OF the World is sufficient
evidence to Justify the positive state
ment that News failure 10 be re-
nominated for the Senate means re-
pudintion of the Harding Admin
istration.
The fact Is that the President
took no part in the contest between
New and Beveridge He very wisely
kept out OF this fight and. too, kept
his Administration out OF the fight.

Kritch, a woman,
says she has discovered the germ
that causes typhus. For two years
she has been working in her labora-
tory over microscope to find this
germ.
Why is this Important Because
now that the germ has been found,
It will not be hard to find a vaccine
or serum that will kill the germ
and prevent typhus.
We rarely hear OF typhus in this
country. But on the eastern front.
where the Germans fought the Rus
slams in the World War. typhus is
said to have killed more soldiers
than did bullets. And since the war
thousands Of Russians and others in
Eastern Europe have been killed by
this disease.
Typhus comes from a Greek word
"typhos." which means stupor. 1t is
a kind of fever. The victim breaks
out in a rash of mulberry color.
Later the one afflicted suffers pains
in the head, delirium, and finally
drops into a stupor.
Many doctors say typhus is spread
by lice. II you have heard the
stories about "oooties" brought back
from Europe by American soldiers,
you will understand why typhus was
one Of the most dreaded diseases Of /
the war.
The other important medical dis
covery is announced by London ply
sicians - they say they have dis
covered the germ that causes dia-
betes.
Unlike typhus, diabetes Is we'll
