PIERCE THE TIN CANS
AND SWAT MOSQUITOES.
Small Boya Told to Sea That No Water
la Left Standing.
Dr. Charles F. Bolduan, who has been
designated spring poet of the New York
health department, got busy the other
day and produced this Just as a sample
of what he can do:
Mother, lend me the hammer:
Mother,, give me the pick.
For I'm a mosquito slammer—
These two will do the trick.
Knock all the bottles on the head,
Pierce through the cans' tin bottoms.
And soon all the skeeters will be dead.
And you'll not have to swat ’em.
This effusion was written as an In
spiration to small boys, who, If they
follow the advice of Health Commis
sioner Emerson, will arm themselves
with a hammer nnd the Ice pick and go
in search of tin cane nnd bottles.
“For,” say the Instructions Issued by
the department, "a tin can half filled
with stagnant water will easily breed
over 200 mosquitoes. Old bottles and
; broken crockery ore also prolific sources
, of mosquito breeding, and the health
department’s bureau of public health
education therefore suggests utilizing
the destructive Instinct of boys In its
mosquito campaign.”
NO CHANCE FOR A FAT MAN.
New York Civil Service Outlines Quali
ties For Employees.
The New York city civil service com
mission has begun to eliminate from
candidates for city Jobs the physically
and morally unfit. Very fat people are
not wanted.
“Our aim is to have robust and prac
tical men in the public service,” said
Henry Moskowltz, president of the
commission. "We have divided the
civil service applicants into four big
groups—clerks, police, firemen and
laborers.
"We are paying attention to obesity.
We let a candidate expand his chest
all he con. That’s his blessed privilege
if he has a cot-porosity. If the expan
sion equals the corporosity he’s lucky.
“Every candidate for a place as tire
man must stand a test for blood pres
sure, and in order to get short and
stocky ‘smoke enters’ who have big
chest expansion we have reduced the
height for firemen from five feet seven
and one-half inches to five feet seven
Inches. The height limit for policemen
stands unchanged at five feet seven
and a half inches."
