CUMBERLAND JOINS CRUSADE.
"Swat-the-Fly" Movement Hits the
Maryland City.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md. July 3l.-The
Civic Club, composed of
prominent women of the city, at a meet
ing at Emmanuel parish house, approved
the "swat-the-fy" crusade and decided
to pay 10 cents a pint for all flies not
caught On fly paper brought to the club.
The Civic Club appointed a committee
to wait on the local newspapers and ask
that the publication of stories of immoral
crimes be minimized. The publication of
such articles. it was declared, acts ad-
versely upon the minds Of the young and
they are to an extent the cause of other
similar crimes and depravities.

CHARLOTTE MENACED
BY A WATER FAMINE
Ponds Around North Carolina
City Are Dried Up and
Reservoir Is Low.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., July 31.-With
the big ponds which have furnished
Charlottes water supply for many
years only foundations of sun baked
mud, and the stopcocks to the small
supply in the reservoir shut down
tight since early Friday morning, this
city is undergoing a period of dis
tress that is as unique as it is serious.
The plan to haul water in tank cars
from the Catawba river. twelve miles
away, was gotten we'll under way Sat-
urday and thousands of gallons were
dumped into the settling basins. but
this movement received a setback yes
terday when one of the big pumps at
Mount Holly broke down, delaying the
program of the authorities to re-
sumo regular water service by Tues
day.
The numerous mineral water agen-
cies are overwhelmed and cannot be-
gin to supply the demand. Mayor
Bland yesterday peremptorily suspend
ed the blue law which forbids the
dispensation of mineral waters and
soft drinks at soda fountains as far as
the water was concerned.
No Rain in Weeks.
No rain of consequence has fallen in
this section in many weeks. With the
famine Of water the sewerage system
has been abandoned and the enforced
installation of surface closets has
brought about menace to health that
has necessitated stringent sanitary
regulations. Special sanitary guards
are being sworn in every day to patrol
the city, along with squads of extra
firemen to minimize the danger from
fire. for the city now is absolutely at
the mercy of the flames.
Hundreds are leaving Charlotte,
flocking to the seashore and mountain
resorts to escape the present perils.

DIES IN ELECTRIC CHAIR

Charles l.. Green. an Albany county

The crime for which Green was put to

little boy, Chester. and daughter, Eva

of sufficient length to circle the globe
twenty times.
These figures, while enormous, repre-
sent the exact state Of affairs. So
tremendous is the capacity of the fly
for reproduction that one insect de-
stroyed means the ultimate destruc-
ton of billions. OF course. the future
populations that are prevented from
coming into existence would not all
have lived at the same time during a
season. as Investigations have shown
that the average life of fly is about
two or three generations.
DR.. Murray said today that the
twenty five leaders in The Stars con-
test, who have a combined score of
641.150. could consider that they have
prevented approximately 421,200. 000, 900
flies from coming into existence be-
tween now and the end of the present
season. This number. if expressed in
miles, would make line long enough
to stretch around the world once, with
5,173 miles left over.
The boy or girl in the contest who
kills but one fly. said DR.. Murray,
has rendered humanity a great bene-
fit. The contestants who are piling up
big scores are rendering a service the
ultimate value of which will be too
great to be computed and the public
will never be able to thank them
enough"

Great Benefits to Come.

Declaring that the swat the fly cam
paign has been of inestimable benefit to
Washmgtonians already, but that the in
formation it has developed will be of
even greater advantage later, DIR. Wood
ward said that the health department
hopes to accomplish results that will at
tract the attention Of the whole coun-
try.
While not intimating what will be the
method of attack on the persons who
have enabled the fly to thrive. the health
officer said that the department Is finding
out where to direct the attack, which
means the battle Is more than half won.
According to DR.. Woodward, the con-
test has given the health officials a PAN.
oramic view of the city with respect to
the manner in which 1t is fy-infested.
The killing Of more insects in one section
than another is taken to mean that in
that particular section conditions make
1t easier for the fly to exist.
The department intends to find out
what these conditions are and who is
responsible for them. 1t is going to re-
sort to the law wherever necessary in
Its efforts to have these conditions
changed.
