THE who, expending his energies wholly private affairs, refuses to take trouble about public affairs, pluming himself his wisdom in niinding his own business, is blind to the fact that his business is made possible only by maintenance of healthy social state, and that he loses all around by defective governmental arrangements. Where there many like minded with himself where, consequence, offices come to be filled by political adventErers and opinion is swayed by demagogues-where bribery vitiates the administration of law and makes fraudu- lent state transactions habitual heavy penal ties fall on the community at large, and among others, on those who have thus done every thing for self nd nothing for society. Their investments are insecure; recovery of their debt is difficult and even their lives are less safe than they would otherwise have been.

Also pencils or anything else that
does not belong there. Don't swap
apples or chewing gum.
"3. Do not use a common drinking
cup or common towel.
"a. Wash the hands with soap and
water after visiting the toilet and be-
fore eating.
"These rules were selected because
they seem to US best to protect the
children from two types of communi-
cable diseases which are most preva-
lent among school children-spit-
borne and excretion-borne diseases.
These two groups of diseases can be
prevented if the secretions and ex-
cretions of pupils are destroyed or are
prevented from getting to the mouths
of others.
"The first three rules, it will be OBJ
served, are to prevent the spread of
spit-borne bacteria. These are divided
into two types the spray-borne, which
are carried by coughing and sneezing;
the non-spray borne, which are spread
generally by putting things into the
mouth like soiled fingers, Pencils and
other objects. Rule No. 2 is particu-
larly protection against the latter
type of transfer.
"The fourth rule applies primarily
to the prevention of excreta-borne
diseases. Washing the hands before
eating is also an additional safeguard
against spit-borne diseases because
the hands touch many objects handled
by others. Rule No. 3 applies to the
prevention of both types of diseases.

ORGANIZED WARFARE is
DECLARED ON DISEASES
School Children Are Being
Trained to Fight Diseases

The school children in Frederick
county are being trained to fight the
germs responsible for coughs and
colds and other diseases, with the
following ammunition:
Clean handkerchiefs,
Individual towels and cups,
Plenty of soap and water.
Incidentally, the warfare calls for
regular drills in handling these mater
ials, in order that their use may be-
come fixed habit. The manual of
instruction for the campaign as pre-
pared by DIR. E. C. Kefauver, Health
Officer for Frederick county, follows.

kerchief to school, and be taught to
use it to protect the mouth and nose
whenever he coughs or sneezes.

snake, from Southern California. It is
small reptile, colored with red, black
and white belts, the exact duplicate OF
the coral snake, which is found in the
Southern United States. The coral
snake Is one of the most poisonous Of
reptiles. The venom of the rattlesnake
is almost harmless in comparison. It
never bites a human being, but Is
dreaded by all its natural enemies. This
little Sonora snake is not poisonous at
all and Is practically defenSelesS. It
lives by Throwing bluff" that 1t Is q

alone rather than make the single mis-
take which might be the last.
Prairie Dogs Are Busy.
DR.. Mann also has secured a new
colony of 20 prairie dogs. which rapidly
have cleared a wired enclosure of weeds
and started digging village. At the
same time he obtained from Argentina
a pair of viScachas, burroWing rodents,
which are close relatives of the prairie
dogs. They will not be placed together.
That was tried q few years ago here,
and the prairie dogs subjected their
foreign cousins to the form of murder
peculiar to the species: that is, they
buried them alive. The whole gang
would pile dirt into the burrow faster
than the victim could scratch his way
out.
This always causes some loss among
prairie dogs themselves. When some
individual, usually a bossy old one, be-
comes unpopular in the village he is
driven into a burrow and burie0 alive.

Mustached Monkey.
Another addition this week is a mus
tached monkey from West Africa.
Bearded monkeys are fairly common,
different species ranging through the
whole category Of beard styles. This
is the only monkey with a mustache,
the style being similar to that made
popular by Charlie Chaplin.
Just now devoted efforts are being
made to keep alive the last of three
baby lions, born a few days ago. A
baby lion abandoned by it's mother is
more trouble to raise than any human
baby. The mother refused to nurse
this litter. They had to be fed from a
bottle. They did not thrive on cows
milk, and two died. A special brand
of baby food was secured for it. It
must be given its bottle every three
hours to the minute, night and day.
An alarm clock is kept set for this pur-
pose. 1t is beginning to respond to the

obtain backing for another attempt to

during which they covered 800 miles OF

They accepted an invitation to

new plane would be reached after the
flyers returned.
For hours Tuesday night the ships
crew battled a heavy fog About 8 am.
yesterday the visibility grew better, but
still no landmarks could be dlScerneo
and the plane went out OF control, ltS

Peed, who was in charge of the flight,
ordered Garrigan and EnsloW to jump:
Garrigan leaped first at height OF

The most dangerous Of living crea-
lures is coming to the National Zoo
logical Park.
This is the king cobra from India.
DR.. William M. Mann, Zoo director has
just obtained one, IA feet long, which
is probably the largest now in captivity.
Very few of these snakes ever have been
kept in captivity.
The bite of the ordinary cobra is
practically sure dear. but compared to
this largest and fierceSt of poisonous
reptiles, it can be handled without much
difficulty. Hindu snake charmers keep
the smaller cobras with IMMUNITY, but
they never fool with this creature. 1t
is fierce, strong, aggressive, treacherous
and quick as lightning, and there is no
antidote for its venom.
Special Cage for Safety.
The king cobra was purchased as one
of the chief attractions of the new
reptile house, now under construction.
Now it is being kept at the New York
Zoo until quarters are ready for It, A
special cage has been devised for the
snake, so that no attendant ever will
come within striking distance Of it.
Hitherto the Zoo has not welcomed
extremely venomouS reptiles. The barest
chance that one of them might escape,
IlOW6NCI POooAbAAANyS dAWoJo
has sent cold shivers up the backs of
Zoo officials. The new quarters will be
absolutely safe, and DR.. Mann plans to
have a representative collection. Even
such comparatively innocent creatures
as rattlesnakes and copperheadS seem
to have a powerful fascination for the
public. Compared with the king cobra,
they are decent citizens.
DR.. Mann also has secured a collec-
Ion of queer reptiles from Australia,
where strange forms seem to have sur
vived out of very distant past. One
is the Australian bearded lizard. 1t has
rows of scales around its face which
resemble the style of boards fashionable
in the middle of the last century. When
It gets excited it will raise these scales,
making the beard appearance even more
realistic. Another is the blue-tongued
lizard. 1t Is just what the name sig
nifies The tongue, which darts forth
in pursuit Of insects, is vivid violet
blue. There also are two giant mont
tors, 6 feet long; looking much like ante
