Tht economic dMress of Germany
Jin* inudo tht lot of tht educated
chumcs n sorry one, nml those who tiro
about to begin their studies huve llttlt
to encourage them to persist along
those lilies. A (llsiunl picture of the
effect of their present disabilities Is
drawn by Josef lloftnuller In tlio Sud-
deutscho Monntschefte, froiu which It
whs summarized In the Frankfurter
Zeltung nnd has been prluted In this
country lu School Life, the official pub-
Mention of tiio Itureuu of h'ducation.
Three Immediate effccts of the wnr
are presented as deterrents to the
exercise of reully ambitious effort. As
the higher military career Is now out
of the question, the military calling
censes to exist for graduatea of the
higher educatlonnl Institutions. Tills
makes thousands of posltlona formerly
occupied by officers non-existent. The
wiping out of the German navy affects
similarly the positions formerly held
by naval officers. .More than that,
many of the young officers who other-
wise would have remained la the mil-
itary service are compelled to resign
and look for positions In civil service.
Then there Is another factor.
Through the annexation of Alsace-Lor-
i nilne, i lie German-Polish, the Gerraan-
Cm-hlsh. and the German-Danish ter-
ritories, tile offices hitherto held by
Germans are lost to them. .Moreover
the German officials In those provinces
become dependent on similar places
which must be vacated for them in
Germany. This aggravates the out-
look of a larger number of young offi-
cials, who will thus be placed in sub-
! ordinate positions under them.
The third element which will affect
the educated classes fs pointed out to
be the impoverishment of Germany
which will cause the practice of strict-
est economy In all branches of state
and public organizations, and will af- j
feet the number of positions-, the sal-
■ aries, the chances for a pension, and '
the like. The impoverishment is
shown also to be trenching on the so-
I called free callings. It must find ex-
pression in a tremendous deflection of
capital and a large emigration of la-
bor. The various technical callings,
the large branches of industry, the
banks, the insurance agencies, private
officials down to the lowest-salaried

Bwdern housewife would not
keep house" without a fly swat*
J r, yet this method of killing
flwa requires a great deal of time
and it also consumes much energy
which she could probably put to
better use.
The poisoning of flies seems to

small children in the family,
many mothers have frowned on
this method.
Having this in view, many ex-
experiments have been made in
the attempt to find a solution
which will kill flies, and yet not
endanger the health or the lives
of the children in the house.
Of the many substances inves-
tigated, only two have been found
to possess the requisite proper-
ties of safety and efficiency; they
are formaldehyde and sodium
salicylate. For household use
these solutions may be prepared
by the {addition of three tea-
spoonfuls of the 40 per cent so-
lution of formaldehyde found on
the market, to a pint of water or
three teaspoon fu Is of the powder-
ed sodium salicylate to a pint of
water.
Nearly fill a glass tumbler with
the solution, place over this a
piece of blotting paper cut to
circular form and somewhat
larger in diameter than the turn-
bier, and over this invert a sau-
cer, Invert the whole device
and insert a match or toothpick
under the edge of the tumbler to
allow access of air.
The blotting paper will remain
in the proper moist condition un-
til the entire contents of the
tumbler have been used and the
strength of the formaldehyde so^
lution will be maintained.

Washington, D. C.-The Re-
publican leaders of Congress
have made their plsns to quit
Washington early in June and
return first Monday in Decern-
ber. Representative Frank W.
Mondell, leader of the house,
snd Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
leader of the Senate ere working
to that end.
Some of the things thst Presi-
dent: Wilson asked Congress to
do this sestion and which have
not been accomplished and which
•re not likely to be done if the
Republican plan is realized, are
tne following:
To provide for a federal budget
■ystem to prevent the wasse of
Government money,
To simblify the taxes of in-
—— and essaa prafRs to
readjust other isviea on the pso-
To provide employment and
Jjid for former isrvics men.
To enact laws to encourage farm-
ers and promote an Increase in
crop production.
To afford protection for the
nation's new chemical and dye-
■tuffs industries,
To give federal aid for the
building of public roads.
To foster the development of
forest resources.
To resdjust thd tariff system
to meet chsnged world conditions
I To regulate the transportation
of food in interstste commerce,
the holding of food in cold stor-
age and to prevent "unconscion-
able profits."
Up to this time Congress has
paid but little attention to these
(^commendations of the Presi-
dent. It is the purpose of the
Republicans to get away in June
without doing so.

Professions Are Overcrowded.
