without serious blame to any news
paper. Any statement, by anybody, is
subject to varying interpretations.
At another press conference, Mr..
Roosevelt reproved persons who had
said he opposed the congressional in
vestigation Of T. v. A. Without know
ing the exact words of the alleged mis-
statement, one cannot estimate its
seriousness. If the statement was that
Mr.. Roosevelt did not wish the investi-
CATION. that would be a guess about
Mr.. Roosevelt's mind-many observers
would guess the same. But if any one
said Mr.. Roosevelt had taken any af-
flrmative step to prevent the T. v. A.
investigation, that would be different
matter.
Mr.. Roosevelt said the misstatement
about his opposing the T. v. A. in
vestigation had been made by colum-
nists. Doubtless columnists who never
wrote anything at all on the subject,
like myself. would be better pleased
If Mr. Roosevelt would make his accu-
sation specific.
Likes to Correct Errors.
So far as I know, Mr.. Roosevelt has
not accused me Of an error-I do not
think I have committed any in the
field about which he occasionally
complains. have made mistakes in
other fields. When make mistakes,
like to have my attention called to
them, and like to correct them.
There is an accumulation Of several
which I will now proceed to correct.
Some while ago. writing about the
Government reorganization bill, I said
1t in part had the color Of the city
manager plan of municipal govern
ment. And added that "the modern
city manager idea contemplates almost
the extinction Of the city council"
For saying this am asked by the
National Municipal League to make
correction. The league admits that the
city manager plan deprives the city
council OF the power Of selecting minor
officials and employees, or removing
them or giving orders to them But
aside from that, the league states, the
city manager plan leaves the city
council with all its powers of deter
mining policies. The city council has
also supreme power over the city
manager, in the sense that it selects
him and can remove him.

average person, however, fears the
harmless centipede more than the
pests that occupy his dwelling.
The garden centipede lives in the
soil, and is said to do quite a bit OF
damage to vegetables and plants by
feasting on their tender roots.
One of the most interesting things
about this house and garden dweller is
its habit of tossing off leg or two
when an enemy is close upon its heels
The legs have way of jerking for q

creature crippled for life as you might
at first think. He can. like the spiders,
grow new legs when the need presents
itself.

berth if you fear it. but do not seek a
broom to swat it with and end its use

creatures that are more dangerous in
your home-the soprano-singing mos

The largest members prefer the

sides in the East Indies reaches
length of over IL inches. Those we
are more familiar with are the garden

length of slightly over an inch. But
the legs that these creatures have are
the things we dread, and not the small
amount of poison they can eject
through the tips of their poison claws
This poison is strong enough to kill
very small animals. but is not at all
dangerous to human beings.
The house centipede has Is pairs of

Just back of the head are two curved
poison claws. The centipede's body
is fat and that is the reason
the creature can slip under places
that do not seem wide enough to ad-

time, centipedes rest, or at least they
