There was ao interesting con
vention held in'a dark included

. day ' rooming. The occasion
was the convocation of all bac
teria in & certain square inch in
the diilritl of the trash pile. The
purpose of the convention, as
Aated by the chairman, was the
promotion of huinau illness dur
ing the months of hot wcaihcr.
The delegates, twenty-seven
billions, had come from far and
near. Some came from far at
three-quarters of an inch and
some came from a distance of
2 ynrds-^Ri incredible disitnncc,
never traversable except by the
air line. This, however, is a fav
orite mode of travel with some

Strange to say, all the dele
gates were not of one accord.
Some favored the plans and pur
pose of the convention, while
others did not. In courseof the
discussion it was discovered that
all ba<f)eria were not harmful to
taan, that some were his Slrong
eil allies and championed boldly

The chairman of tbe conven
tion was a lu&y, big Bacillus Ty
phosus. He presided with the
dignity that befitted bis impor
tance, and <hp\^ed himself mas
ter of aoy situation that arose.
!ftje report of the committee
on Communicable Diseases was
read and debated. "This report,"
said the chairman^ "shows a fall
ing off in the number of infec
tions for the pa& year, What can
be the matter?" .
"Very well," said the chairman
"it behooves the committee to
make renewed efforts this fall
We wilt now hear from the
Committee on .Diarrhoeal or
Baby Disease."
"We are just 'beginning our
work," said the spokesman of
this committee, "but unless they
exlermiotfte our faithful ally,
the Muses DoSflica (house fly>
as we have heard it threatened,
ws will have no trouble in take
tag away a great number of ba
bies this summer," -
"That is juA said Typho

remade ,-*ar
j otlerly de
places,_and
faithful, tbe fly, is exterminated,
my only remaining allies will be
dirty milk and dirty water."
Here lbc discussion became
general as this subject was more
or less of vital interest to all.
At thai important point, where
plans were being discussed for
more atfive work during the
summer, n mighty roar was
heard aod 'then came a crush
down upon the earth in this vi
rility. In the twinkling of an
eye the convention hall, with all
of its occupants and their dark
deeds, were upheaved and ex
posed to the light o( the sun,
whereupon the whole assembly
perished, and with them the
plans they bad created, for this
was Clean-up Day in KanSiville
and the same in our back yard.

Chicago, III., July 6.? Nine
teen persons dead and 903 in
jured was the nation's sacrifice
to the two days' celebration ol
fourth of July, according to cor
rected figures complied today by
tbg Chicago Tribune. These
figures show an incjease over
the totals of 1914, when there
were twelve persons killed ana
870 injured. . i
Ne^. York, July 5.? A bomb
loaded with iron and &eell slugs
was exploded on the lower
floor of police headquarters
about 9 o'clock this evening.
The entire lower floor was badly
wrccked. The entire building
was shaken and lights jvere
broken. The outrage is believed
to be the work of an anarchUl
who placed the bomb in St. Pat
rick's cathedral several months
ago. The explosion was looked
into by Inspector Farroti.
A remarkable statement, in
view of conditions that prevailed
in labor circles during the pa&
winter, is that of the government
employment office of the bureau
of labor at Washington. If is to
the effect that requests for work
men arc coming in from all parts
of the country. Between 16,000
and 18,000 additional hai ves'l
hands a?e needed in Oklahoma
and 35,000 in Kansas. An Oregon
association wants 1,000 berry
pickers. An ammunition plant
in ixraneucut wants JOO men. A
Maryland &eel company wants
100. In We& Virginia 2.000
coal miners are neeed, and thus
it coes. During May the govern
ment bureau furnished work for
twenty-five per cent of the men
who applied for it and now has
more jobs at its disposal than
men to fill them. TLis is a
showing that is decidedly en
couraging. When jobs arc seek
ing the men times are assuredly
on the mend.? Charlotte Ob
