Common Duty to Wage
Warfare on House Fly

Effort to change the name Of the
common house fly to typhoid fly is
the motive behind a movement start
ed by DR.. L. o. Howard, government
entomolOgist.
The name, house fly" is too
tame. The fly is accepted as a
nuisance, but not considered as the
dangerous insect 1t Is. Government
health authorities have proved that
the common flies that buzz about
homes and kitchens carry bacteria
which can infect human beings with
at least dozen diseases In addition
to typhoid.
Doctor Howard states, "Even If the
fly were a creature difficult to de-
stroy, the failure on the part of peo-
pie to make any effort to reduce its
number could properly be termed
criminal neglect. AS 1t is now an
easy matter to do away with flies,
this neglect becomes an evidence of
ignorance. :. =. 1t is the duty of
every individual to guard against the
occurrence of flies upon his premises"
AS Doctor Howard says, it Is no
longer difficult to rid a house of
flies. A reliable fly killer when
sprayed in a fine mist Is the most
effective method of Kidding the house
of flies and other insects.

them were thoroughly angry and Tyd-
ings in letter accused Ickes of seek
ing "cheap publicity"
Federal Judge T. Weber Wilson of
the Virgin islands had given testimony
that exasperated Ickes and the Sec
rotary demanded that the Judge be re-
moved from office for official miscon-
duct" Then Ickes wrote to Tydings
letter carrying his charge of white
washing" and saying of the judges
testimony: "There was no cross-ex-
animation to test his truthfulness, and
If any statement ever needed such a
test, 1t was his"
Judge Wilson had told the commit
tee that there had been "administra-
tive interference" with his court and
that Morris Ernst, counsel for the
Civil Liberties union, while a guest
Of Governor Pearson, had threatened
to put him ION the spot" in the press
unless he granted a rehearing to a
government employee accused of theft.
Tydings accused Secretary Ickes of
''gross deceit upon the American peo-
pie" by stating In an Interior depart
ment press release that Paul C. Yates,
administrative assistant Of Pearson,
had been discharged, when "you know
and ] know that Mr.. Yates had re-

expects the skiing of kings" to submit
tamely, so other nations are advising
their nationals in Ethiopia to get out of
the country. William Perry George,
the American charge d'affaires at Ad-
dis Ababa, was authorized by the State
department to advise American citizens
to leave, or take whatever other steps
he deemed necessary to protect their
safety.
Mr.. George transmitted to the en-
peror the rather curt reply of the
American government to his majesty's
appeal for aid in stopping Italy. Sec
rotary of State Hull, writing by au-
thority of the President, told the en-
peror the United States was "loath to
believe" the two countries actually will
engage in warfare as they are both
signatories of the kellogg pact. The
note also pointed out that the arbitra-
ton proceedings might arrive at sat
isfactory decision.
The chances that war might be
averted by the arbitrators seemed
slight. Those gentlemen met again at
Scheveningen and their session was
disrupted by the Italian representa-
tives when spokesman for Ethiopia
set forth the fact that Ualual, scene
of the bloody clash last December, Is
well within the Ethiopian border.
Emperor Halle Selassie made an
other attempt to get international ac-
ton by calling for a meeting of the
League of Nations council to thresh
out the dispute with Italy. At the
same time the emperor appealed to the
world for fair play and protested to
five European powers against their re-
fusal to permit the shipment of arms
and munitions to Ethiopia. 1t was
said in Geneva the league council prob
ably would be called into session with
In a few weeks. The protest about
arms shipments was not likely to do
Ethiopia any good. Indeed, 1t was said

Sestigation would be thorough and I'M
partial.
Already the committee had begun Its
work, the first witness being Repre-
sentative Brewster of Maine, who de-
!clared Thomas G. Corcoran, New Deal
lawyer, had tried to force him to vote
for the death sentence" provision in
the utilities bill by threats of stop
ping work on the Passamaquoddy
project. Corcoran was then put on the
stand and denied the main features of
Brewster's story, whereupon the Maine
congressman shouted, you're liar"
Corcoran explained with facility his
activities in behalf of the utilities
measure. He said he was assigned to
help with the original drafting of the
bill through direct request from the
President" Senators Wheeler and Ray
burn, he said, asked him to help bring
about passage Of the bill.
The senate committee on audit and
controls reported favorably on a reso-
luton calling for $4,000 appropria-
ton to investigate lobbying in connec-
ton with all legislation at this session,
and the resolution was adopted by the
senate.

ITO PROVIDE quick employment and
end the dole, the entire four-billion-
dollar works-relief fund must be ex-
pended within the next twelve months.
Such was the fiat statement Of Presl-
dent Roosevelt to the state PWA direc-
tors, who were gathered In Washington
for a two day conference. After dis
cussing the old PWA program, the
President said: "You are now an Inn
portant part of an even greater effort
one to be made during the next year
which will provide quick employment,
so that we can attain, If possible, the
goal we have set within this year 1885.
Before the year is ended we will end
the dole we have been paying to en-
playable persons during the last two
years. In other words, we must give
useful work to three and one-half mil
lion people and believe we are going
to do 1t.
SIN order to do it, Of course, we
are faced by problem Of arithmetic
which is comparatively simple. We
have four billion dollars and three and
one-half million people to put to work
with 1t. That means we have to av-
erage things up. It means that we
have on the average about $1,140 per
man year.
"That has to include the cost Of the
material, so that the four billion dol
lars includes not only the amount we
pay the men but also the cost of the
material. 1t is perfectly simple
arithmetical problem-we have to work
out an average that will come within
the sum of money divided by the num-
Der of people we have to put to work.
"You know, of course, that we have
spent great deal of money during the
last two years, but we find now not
only that there are additional funds
at our disposal but also that the need
of permanent work all over the United
States is not yet ended. We find that
the deeper we go into 1t the more op-
pcrtunities we have to do constructive
work in almost every community in the
country"

THE secretary of the treasury ap-
l. peared before the house ways and
means committee which was trying to
formulate the new tax bill wanted by
the administration, and declared that,
depending on the rates of taxation
adopted, the measure might bring in
as much as $1,OOO000,0OO a year or
as little as $11S,000,000 annually. AS
the representative of the administra-
ton, the young secretary declined to
advise as to the rates, though the Re
publican members of the committee
tried to pin him down to details. The
legislation outlined by the President
includes taxation of inheritances and
gifts, higher surtaxes on million dollar
incomes and graduated income taxes
on corporations.
Senator Charles L. McNary Of Ore
gon, Republican leader, predicted that
congress either would recess and re-
convene in the fall or would put off
enactment of the tax bill until the ses.
sion beginning January 8 next.

He won the D. s. NJ. and was decorated

PIGS THRIVE ON BANANAS

There's faster way of produc-
ing hams and bacon than feeding
pigs all the corn they will eat. "Give

producers.
AS in other parts of the United
States, the agricultural experiment
station Is an important feature In
the territory of Hawaii. Prof. L. A.
Henke, animal husbandman of the
University of Hawaii, has just an
nounced the results Of a banana diet
for pigs. A Is per cent ration of
the fruit puts on weight more rap
idly than a full grain ration.

DERHAPS it was the summer heat
in Washington; perhaps there was
lot of pressure from the direction of
the White House. Anyhow, the back
bones of the house Democrats, recent
ly so stiff against "dictation" by the
administration, weakened most notice
ably when the house took up the re-
drafting Of the Tennessee Valley au-
thority act. Nearly all the recent
"rebels" among the Democrats fell into
line and the bill was shorn of every
major provision that was Objectionable
to the President. These amendments
were approved:
To delete clause saying the TYA
must sell power or chemicals at not
less than cost after July 1, 1887.
To let the IVA operate without alb
solute control by the comptroller gen.
eral over its expenditures.
To delete a section preventing the
agency from constructing power lines
paralleling existing private ones.
To let the authority decide whether
private interests may build dams or
appurtenant works on the Tennessee
river or tributaries.
This victory greatly heartened the
administration forces, and they pressed
forward to try for another in the
conference on the utilities bill. Also
In the senate they carried on a deter
mined fight for the amendments broad.
