Chicago, July 1O.-Frederic A. De-

when asked last night regarding the
report of several changes in the execu-

the secretary's office the other morn
ing he found the prophet of Kansas
in the act of striking his desk a hard
blow with what appeared to be a
paddle. The visitor tried to conceal
his amazement at the scene but the
secretary went from bad to worse. He
whacked himself on the arm with this
paddle and then smiled in triumph.
The reporter edged toward the door,
but the secretary called him back
and added the explanation that he
was killing flies. Then it was seen
that the paddle, while it had the reg
ulation wooden handle about a foot
long, was equipped with a stiff wire
screen instead of the ordinary blade.
The secretary explained the use
and value of the invention in his own
inimitable way. He declared that this
pulVerizer" was one of the greatest
inventions of the century. That only
after forty years of research had he
found perfect weapon with which to
make war upon the house fly, the
pest of the race. Then the secretary
elaborated upon that feature of the
instrument which he termed the mas
terpiece of the inventor. 1t lay in the
fact that the screen did not gather
any air behind it when brought down
with murderous intention on the fly.
You wonder" said the secretary,
why il is that you can rarely kill a
fly with club or a folded newspaper
and you lay your want of success upon
the agility of the fly That is not so.
1t is simply because your broad, fiat
weapon gathers enough air pressure
behind it to force the fly out of the
way even though he move ever so
little or slowly. But with this screen
there is no air pressure. With any
other weapons the odds are nine to
one in favor of the fly; with this little
puIverizer you kill the fly nineteen
times out of twenty"
Then the secretary gave a demon
stration and killed five flies in quick
succession without making an error.

ter of the English language. On
that morning he sat with his fly
killer in his hand and directed all his
sarcasm and his wit and metaphor
into q discourse on the habits of the
fly and the weakness of its enemies

ton As the reporter went out the
door he heard the ''pulverizer" de-
scend with a smack on the desk and
the secretary chuckle over the death
of another winged enemy.
