The Flies Are With Us!

Once again the hosts Of the fly

of mosquito allies. The battle Is for
the lives of hundreds of little babies,
although the flies are not saying any
thing about that, Of course.
Now is the time when those who
keep dirty back yards give first aid

say that this is a real campaign, al
though many thoughtless persons fall
to realize it.
Those who neglect to clean ur
their premises, those who allow gar
bage can lids to remain partly or
wholly off, those who permit other
insanitary practices in yard or home
these are aiding in the propagation
of flies, which in turn will disseminate
millions of germs.
Stagnant pools Of water and other
unwholesome conditions In and near
homes help the breeding of mos
auitoes, as do rank growths Of vines
of all sorts. A frog pool, while II
may be a picturesque addition to ar

of mosquitoes, as is the mud hole ir
a back yard.
Because there are not, as yet
owing to the backward season, bill
lions of flies and mosquitoes in evi

bative measure should not be taken
In fact, this is the very season wher
the most strenuous measures should
be taken, for every fly and mosquito
killed now means a million or 50

the Judge, looking as dignified as pos.

United States Expresses Pride
in New Capital Of Australia

The United States, though far re.
moved geographically from Australia,
is expressing a very real feeling of
pride and a kinship Of spirit in con
nection with the dedication of the city
of Canberra, the new capital of that
great commonwealth, for the plans of
the city were made by an American,
and in them is recognized more than
hint of the layout of Washington.
The establishment of the Australian
capital city had it's beginnings more
than a quarter of a century ago, as
the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reminds us,
the project being launched by the
commonwealth act of 1900, the last
important document signed by Queen
Victoria. '"That act" says the Eagle,
"Set aside an area not less than 100
square miles in New South Wales, not
less than 100 miles distant from sgd
ney,' as a federal district. After care
full search, a beautiful site of hill, val
ley, lake and river was found, and a
world competition, won by Walter
Burley Griffin, an American. provided
monumental plans for a model capital
city,
The New York Sun calls attention
to the fact that Griffin won in compe-
tition with 1877 designs, and adds: The
public buildings, the parks, the park
ways and general plan Of the streets
and avenues will follow his plans. So
that what will be in all probability as
characteristic an American city as is
to be found anywhere will be at the
other side of the world under the
Southern Cross"
'The foundation stones of the first
building, the Parliament house, were
laid in 1913" explains the Buffalo Eve
ming News. which points out that lone
of the peculiar aspects of the Can
berra development is that the govern
ment reserves title to all land in the
district. There will be no private
property, but provision has been made
for 99-year leases, these to be disposed
of at auction" The News calls this
"an interesting development" and pre-
diets that it will be "a city of charm
and beauty" The Danville Bee OBJ
serves: Every American who has seen
unsightly factories and other buildings
rising up in Washington and has
found bent and narrowed the outward
ends of the spokes OF that wheel Of
which the Capitol is the hub hopes
Canberra will follow the plans of her
Washington has followed the plans of
her French designer"

The formal dedication of the Aus
tralian capital "closeS a controversy
of more than 27 years standing" ac-
cording to the San Francisco Bulletin.
During all that time there has been
dispute concerning the wisdom of
building a national capital in the bush
or wilderness" says the Bulletin,
which explains that the present site
was chosen because an inland capital
seemed to possess advantages in the
way of defense and removal. of the
politicians from the influence of inter
ests in the large commercial centers."
AS to Canberra being in the wilder
ness, the Beloit Daily News turns back
the pages of history and notes that
when the United States Government

moved to Washington in 1900 it was
"a backwoods settlement in the wilder
ness Thirty years later it was still
described as a little struggling village
reared in a drained swamp" con-
tinues the News, "and at the outbreak
of the Civil War it had a population
of only $4,000, with streets deep in
mud or clouded with dust. struggling
unbuilt portions that were mere
morasses and a sewerage system that
was worse than useless. The flower
ing out of Washington as one of the
most beautiful of American cities and
as capital city worthy to rank with
others of the great nations of the
world has been a matter of relatively
recent history"
washington had to evolve by slow
degrees; Canberra has the benefit of
modern methods in building and
springs up.as if by enchantment," re-
marks the Louisville Courier-J Journal,
speaking in similar vein. unlike the
early American capital, it is virtually
completed, not a few scattered build
ings set in a sea of mud. 1t is ideally
located on high ground, not in low
lands and marshes. Like Washing
ton, Canberra is q made-to-order city.
But it has many advantages over its
American prototype"
Describing the new city, the Chris
tian Science Monitor records: Care
has been taken to see that Canberra
should not. like Topsy. be simply al
lowed to grow. A definite system Of
development has been followed. Streets
have been laid out, handsome build
ings erected, water supply system,
installed and, among other things, pro.
vision made for bungalows with q
two-story height limit. All plans in
the dream city, which Is slowly ris-
ing into existence, must have official
approval. The opposition to Canberra
which once found vent, particularly
in Melbourne, has ceased and the peo-
pie have come to realize, as it has been
aptly put by one in n position to speak
with authority, that the segregation
of Parliament from the great business
interests of large city is likely to
permit the working out of Australia's
destiny on a broader basis and in g.
truer spirit of democracy
"May the achievements of the COM
monwealth of Australia. already nota-
BILE, go from strength to strength!
May this Canberra that they build
rise In beauty and grow strong in
honor to take place among the capitals
of the world!'' is the tribute of the
Milwauk Journal.

Holds Executive Duty
Dulls Creative Genius

When creative genius Is sacrificed
to executive talent, the world loses
and loses heavily. Benjamin 1de
Wheeler, who died the other day well
beyond three-score-and-ten, was re-
nowned as president of the University
of California. Long years ago he was
a historian Of goodly achievement and
of golden promise, his Life Of Alex
ander the Great" being hailed by the
English-reading world. Then he was
called to the helm of a great institu-
ton of learning, whose enrolment
grew to exceed 10000 students and
whose affairs required master bust
ness mind. DIR. Wheeler proved
famously equal to the demand. but
the historian within him faded like a
''vision splendid" into the common
light of day. He did work for which
the university and America as well
are his everlasting debtor, but what
a harvest of glorious literature may
have withered away in the stress OF
his executive labor! 1--WE wonder"
writes a warm admirer Of his, "if he
ever repeated Wordsworth's line. The
world is too much with u.s. as he
TRANQUILITY chronicling the past, and
as he realized poignantly that he was
the center Of a human maelstrom
revolving in the cause of higher
education"
Great executives are rare, but not
so rare as creative scholars, nor so
rare as artists and seers. To those
who dwell apart from getting and
spending, from diplomacy and conflict,
and who give us out of their quietude
the living water of truth, the living
bread of beauty, we owe more than
to captains Of industry, more than to
generals and statesmen. Or, rather,
we owe them a different and a rarer
gratitude. Every one to his work, for
every one is needed. But be this re-
membered: A blind old bard named
Homer, though the rich and the
mighty of his time are all forgot,
lives yet immortal in the hearts of
men after the drift of nearly 5000
years.-The Atlanta Journal.

The Dreams of Mussolini.

Mussolini, Italy's premier and die.
tator, believes in preparedness to the
nth degree. Within the next dozen
years he sees Italy in a position to
| mobilize a we'll equipped army of s..
| O0O, 900 men and with a strong navy
and a huge air force. Then, he says.
Italy will be able to make her voice
heard and to see her rights recog-
nized. Apparently to talk disarma.
ment to the dictator of Italy is an
idle gesture. What hope under the
conditions suggested by Mussolini is
there for the League of Nations arms
conference?
The Mussolini speech in the Cham.
ber of Deputies on the budget of in
ternal affairs effectually tore the veil,
If there has been veil, from the goal
of the Fascist movement as directed
by Mussolini. For two and half
hours the Italian premier talked of
his aims for his country, declaring
that today. May 26, we bury SOL
emnly all the lies of universal demo.

army Of 5000. 900 trained and equipped

paredness, yes. But preparedness for
what? Dreams of world peace with
Mussolini on the one hand and no
less ruthless dictator in the shape of
a communistic Soviet government in
Northeastern Europe on the other
give little promise of fulfillment.
Italy has her problems, economic
and social. She has a growing pop
ulation in a comparatively small area.
A desire to expand may be natural.
But the speech Of Mussolini smacks
of an attack of what the French call
"gloire"; indeed, it seems to be filled
with dreams of Roman Empire that
crumbled centuries ago. 1t remains
to be seen, however. how long his
powerful neighbors will permit these
dreams to continue unchecked.

Put YOUR garden on a budget.

Put your garQen On a budget.
Set aside a definite sum which you
are willing to spend annually on the
yard, and then see to 1t that it is
spent!
| In five years Of such a worked-out
program q householder might be the
proud possessor of one of the most
beautiful gardens in the National
| Capital.
| In no part of the average home may
money be spent with such success
and with such assured results as in
| the garden, yet 1t is common eX-
| perience that most persons begrudge
few dollars expenditure.
Ordinarily we are not in favor Of
| budgets. Elaborated in order to help
one save money, generally they be-
come nothing but a nuisance in their
everyday application.
The garden budget, on the other
hand. would be instituted to train
one to spend money, for, as stated,
| most persons seem to resent the idea
of putting money into their yards,
just as many fail to put work, or
time. or intelligence there.
A favorite occupation of new house
holders is to suddenly check up on
the amount of money they have spent
on "the yard" and then to be sur
prised at their own generosity.
AS a matter of fact, what seems
to them to be a large sum Is not
very much, after all, and they would
sense this Immediately If the money
were viewed in relation to an auto.
mobile, for instance.
It Is the widespread idea of penury
in relation to the garden which allows
them to imagine that their first years
expenditure has been large one.
What might not be done, think you,
If 500 a year were allotted to your
garden? And by the term garden"
we mean such yard as you own,
whether large or small, whether in
front Of the house or behind it, or
on both sides.
You have been in your present To-
cation for five years, let us say. How
many trees have you put in? How
have you set out? What intelligent
planning for future years have you
made?
A hundred dollars can be called
neither very large nor a very small
sum Of money. 1t Is probable that
the average householder able to own
his own home might very easily spend
that much on his garden-if he want.
ed to.
Some one. or something, has got to
convince him that he ought to do it.
A cursory survey of thousands Of
homes throughout the District of Co.
lumbia will show any interested per-
son that much missionary work re-
mains to be done in this respect, for
there are hundreds of home grounds
upon which not so much as $40 has
been spent in the same number of
years.
Not only are the householders losing
a legitimate joy and profit out Of
their lives, but their immediate com.
munity is the loser, as we'll as the
city Of which they form an integral
part.
The sense of beauty, does not lie in
every one. II buy house to live
in," says one man, scorning garden
work. and refusing to turn his leisure
hours to planting and cultivating.
Perhaps he is city-bred man, who
has never known the joys of COM
munion with plants and growing
things. He is not to be blamed. He
cannot help it. Likewise, he may
have an innate dislike for such work,
and there is no reason why a man
should struggle overmuch trying to
overcome innate dislikes. 1t Is waste
motion.
These legitimate excentions how.
