Rejoicing in the fact that yellow
fever will soon disappear from South
America, the Petit Parisien" invokes
thanks to the sardines.
1t is known that the fever is COM
municated by the bite Of mosquito
that lives in the sWamps.
Now it has been noticed that a spe-
cies of sardine, the shatta gets easily
acclimated in fresh water and, what
is more, it manifests a very marked
prediction for the larvae of mos
quitoes.
One can easily guess the sequel.
The shattas, netted in great numbers,
are thrown into the marshes, where
they destroy the larvae. No more
mosquitoes no more fever.
Thus the sardine takes its place
among the benefactors of humanity!

Oldest Engines in England.

Two engines which are still pump.
ing away after a hundred years are
to be seen in the BrOOkmill Road
pumping station of the London water
board. They were built one hundred
and one hundred and ten years ago
respectively. Every day since they
were installed they have raised on an
average 1,75O,OOO gallons of water,
and the total amount they have
pumped must be at least sixty thou
sand million gallons These engines,
which are probably the Oldest work
ing machines of their kind in the
country, are of fifty horsepower, and
each works two pumps. They are of
the type that was once used in the
Cornish mines, and except for few
modern improvements which have
been added during recent years, they
are exactly as they We're a century
ago
Soon they are to be replaced by
new engines, not because they are not
capable of performing their work, but
because modern engines work more
cheaply.

Change in Ballot
Made 1t Necessary
to Reprint Tickets

The ounty commissioners met this
morning to complete the arrange
ments for the sending out of the bal
lots and boxes and needed books to
the several precincts of the county,
but found that in compliance with a
supplementary order from the secre-
tary of state, H. Clay Crawford, it
had been necessary to reprint the bal
lots, and the body adjourned to later
hour.
The later instructions regarding
the ballots We're to the effect that
the text of the four proposed amend
ments should be printed On the tickets
but these were not received by the
county officials until after the origi-
nal order for the work had been COM
pleted The reprinting caused a de-
lay in the program of tho commits
sioners, but the voting precincts will
suffer no inconvenience because of it.

ERROR HARD TO ERADICATE
Even Those Who Know Better Are
Unwilling to Obey This Partle-
uIar Grammatical Law.

Discussing Doctor Sapir's book on
language, A. L. Kroeber says in the
Dial that We all tend to say "WhO did
you see?" and shows why in spite of
its "incorrecness" we all at times slip
into it. "WhOm has become isolated,
the only word of its class, the only
emphatic and interrogative word nor
mally at the head of its sentence,
that retains the objective ending. I'm
consciously, the I'm" makes us uncom-
Portable. The rules teach it, but the
rules are no longer living, they are
in conflict with the irrational but
psychologically valid drift of modern
English, and we feel happier with who
than with whom in our mouths The
uneducated abandon themselves I'M
restrainedly. The sophisticated and
timid Yacillate between the discOm-
fort of breaking with the authority of
tradition and the irritation of a usage
that has slipped into silent contradic-
tion with the real forces that make
English n living tongue. But all alike
we edge ever farther away from the
whom because of the hesitation
values which are hooking themselves
to it."

Merely Drlbblngs
From
The Thought Tank
BY THORN
Here's My Apology.

Here's My Apology.
There has been so much said
By my friends of the press
Over all the state
All of it in terms of praise
That I've been forced
On five separate occasions
To be introduced to myself.
You know how it is
With all of Us preachers;
When we get "call"
The whole congregation turns out
To hear the first sermon
That is delivered on suspicion;
And because the preacher
Mixes his Firstly and Sixthly,
And forgets whether Dan or Jonah
Remained for three days
In the whale's-society,
And gets sorrily Hurried,
The folks sniff very strongly
And file erlong outa church,
Sayin' he Amt so much!
That's how a newspaper man feels
In a brand-new community.
But I'll do muh best.
Yassum.
/ thank you.

WENDS OF SLAVONIC ORIGIN
Variety Of Tribes Mingled to Form
What Was at One Time
Powerful People.

The Wends are section Of the
Siavonic race, dwelling in that part
OF Germany known as Lusatia, partly
in Prussia and partly in the former
kingdom of Saxony. In the Sixth CEN
fury the Wends were a powerful peo-
pie, extending along the Baltic from
the Elbe to the ViStula and south to
the frontiers Of Bohemia. They com
prised variety of tribes. To the
Wends at the outbreak of the war
Prussia was merely military express
sion. They have always remained
closely united among themselves,
preserving the old customs and con-
Sidering the mingling of races by mar
rage as opposed to the laws of
origin. The distinctions Of caste
among them are very marked and
scrupulOusly respected They call
themselves Serbs, and are known in
history as Polabs. Their language, of
which there are two most marked
dialects is Saxon and PruSsian, with
sections that speak a mixed form Of
both languages, which is described as
being between Polish and Czech (Bo-
hemian) and was reduced to a writ
ten language in the Sixteenth cen
fury. The people Of Wendish speech
numbered $4,000 in the SOS, were
reduced to 116,SOO in 1900, and are
considerably less today.

MUST DUMP BOOZE

WASHINGTON, Oct. THE United
States government today set out to
make the ocean dry--dry ms the Sahara
so far as all ships flying the American
flag are concerned and equally dry
three miles off shore for foreign ships.
While Chairman Lasker of the Shipping
Board expressed forebodings about the
wrecking of American merchant marine,
as a result of the order issued TO him
yesterday by President Harding to stop
selling intoxicants aboard shipping YES
sells, leaders in the dry movement are
jubilant over the ruling.
Mr.. Harding's order was made late
in the day, Following approval by u
council of cabinet members and the
president of II ruling drawn up by At
torney General Daugnerty which held:
That under the eighteenth amend
ment and the Volstead Act it was ille-
gal for any American vessel to carry
liquor anywhere for any purpose.
That foreign ships entering American
waters within three miles off shore
also come under America S prohibitary
lMrws and therefore must not carry
liquor, even as ship % stores.
Immediately orders were broadcast to
all shipping board vessels to stop sell
ing liquor and dump the stuff over
board or get rid of IT somehow. Those
ships now on the high seas must be dry
when they get to port or as soon there
after as it is possible to get rid of
their stocks of intoxicants. Similar or
ders will be issued to private shipping
interests by Secretary OF. the Treasury

PARIS, Oct. France backed Great
Britain against the Turks today. 1t
was officially agreed by Lord Curzon
and Premier Poincare that the kemai-
lists shall not be permitted to enter
Thracc until peace is concluded.
The Greeks, it has been decided here,
must start Immediately the evacuation
of Thrace. The allies will enter on the
heels of the departing Greeks. One
month after the latter are completely
out, the Turks may come in and set up
u civil administration. Their armies
may not enter Thrace nor cross the
straits.
This was the answer to Mustapha
Kcmal's s ultimatum.
The Turks have demanded phrace
immediately.
Lord Curzon hurried toe Paris
The French cabinet met immediately
after tentative agreement had been
reached by Curzon and Poincare aud
gave its sanction to their plan.
Curzon, who held three of the six
telephone lines between Paris and Lon
don open all night, then got in touch
with Downing street.
The British cabinet, it was believed,
will be called together Immediately to
discuss the tentative agreement.
The date of the peace conferences will
be set in event both the British and
French governments back the position
of their representatives.
