FLIES BY MILLIONS
SWARM IN BERKELEY
Board. of Health Will Ask Tras=
tees to Give Money to Rid
Town of Pests ;.

|. BERKELEY, May 31-MNlions OF
swarmed into Berkeley and tomorrow
night the board of health will ask the
trustees to make an appropriation to
rid the town of them. Should the cost
needed to eliminate them be allowed,
as advised by the chamber of COM
merce, Prof. w. B. Herms, a well
known authority on the fly, who is
connected with the university faculty,
will take charge of the local campaign.
Where the pesky little insects came
from no one seems to know. Pro-
fessor Herms is authority for the
statement that the fly has not wan
dered far from its Matching place and
when the campaign is started all refuse
piles, stables and other places will be
thoroughly cleaned and fumigated.
At any rate, the fly is here and in
millions. No house or office has been
free of it and the hardware dealers
chuckling at their heavy sales of
screen doors. fly paper and extermi-
nators, and the housewife is kept busy
'shooink" the little creature out of
the cream and butter.
Although Professor Herms saws that
the little insect common in Berkeley
does not Bite, its proboscis not being
built for that purpose, it makes up for
this defect in tenacity of purpose and
the bald heads in this city are having
an uncomfortable time trying to escape
the attacks of the insect
The town board is looked to for a
solution of the difficulty and it is ex-
pected that $4o0 asked for by the
chamber of commerce will be granted
at their meeting tomorrow night.
after which the campaign will be be-
gun and the residents will breathe a.
sigh of relief.
