"SWAT THE FLY" IS SLOGAN
NOTABLE TAKERS APPEAR BE-
FORE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
What Has Been Done the Past Year
Towards the determination OF
the Presidential Insects.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Campaigns
against the fly until the presidential
insect is exterminated were recon-
mended in a report made today by
Edward Hatch, Jr., of New York.
chairman of the fly tghting" com
mittee, to the American Civic Asso-
citation in convention here. Mr..
Hatch told of the progress made in
Wagtng war on the fly as a breeder
and spreader of disease.
Since the last annual conference
on the fly pest letters have poured
in upon the committee from all quar-
ters of the country asking for advice
on the best methods of exterminat-
ing the house fly The committee
caused to be printed and circulated
upwards Of 100000 pieces of 'litera-
ture' which served as ammunition
in innumerable fly sWatting cam
paigns. In a number of cities school
children competed for cash prizes
for compositions which would best
describe the fiy's vicious career. In
many cities newspapers organized
Swat the Fly contests for consid-
cradle cash prizes. The numbers
scored by the winners ran into the
hundreds and the count ESQ many
flies to the quartz in Baltimore alone
reached 100000.
In concluding Mr.. Hatch said that
the committee, while pleased with
the results, realized that the war
against the fly was to be a long one.
Swat the fly campaigns help, he
said, but what we need most is to
arouse such consciousness of our
duty to ourselves and to others that
we will first swat our own flies by
depriving them of breeding and feed
ing places, and then compel our
neighbors to do likewise"
Don't swat the fly, swat the man
who permits the fly to breed" was
the slogan to meet the contention of
people who claim the house, or ty-
phoid fly is benefcent scavenger.
and which Prof. c. F. Hodge of Clark
University, Worcester, Mass, sug-
geSted.

Death

Elton, the three-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. P. Lightfoot, living
near Inaha, in Tiff county, met a
horrible death Thursday afternoon.

II gallons of hot syrup, and was
scalded SO badly that it died within
five hours despite the frantic efforts
of the family and all the hastily
summoned physician could do to
give relief.

and Improvement of Negro.
ATHENS, Ga.-The University OF
Georgia has accepted gift of s12,-
500 from the trustees of the Phelps
Stokes fund as a permanent endow-
ment of a fellowship in sociology
for the study of the negro. A SINH
lar sum for the same purpose was
donated to the University of Virginia
and has been accepted by that insti-
tuition.
The fund was established by the
late Miss Caroline Phelps-Stokes, the
object of the sum is to assist in i'm
proving the condition or the negro.
The trustees of the fund, after ma
ture consideration of different ways
in which the wishes of the founder
of the fund might be carried out, de-
cided that one very successful and
proper way would be to endow fell
lowships at the two institutions of
learning named above, through
which the negro might be studied in
a thoroughly scientific manner. The
endowment will become available at
an early date and the young men
who receive the felIowships will en-
ter upon the work of investigating
this sociological question.
The trustees of the fund, in MAX
ing the gift, adopted the following
resolutions:
Whereas, Miss Caroline Phelps
Stokes in establishing the Phelps
Stokes fund, was especially desirous
to assist in improving the condition
Of the negro, and
Whereas, it is the conviction of
the trustees that one of the best
methods Of forwarding this purpose
is to provide means to enable South
ern youth Of broad sympathies to
make a scientific study of the negro
and his adjustments to American
civilization:
Resolved, That $4,000 be given
to the University of Georgia for the
permanent endowment of a research
fellowship, on the following condi-
tions:
Il The university shall appoint
annually a fellow in SOCIOLOGY for
the study of the negro, who shall

direction of the department of soci-
ology, economics or history, as may
be determined in each case by the
president. The fellowship shall yield
$500 and shall after five years be
restricted to graduate students.
2. Each fellow shall prepare a
paper embodying the results of his
research on some aspect of the negro
problem, which shall be published
by the university from the income Of
the fund, any surplus remaining be-
ing applicable to other objects Incl
dent to the main purpose of the fell
lowship.
3. The right to make all neces-
sary regulations regarding the foun-
dations, not consistent with the
spirit and letter of these resolutions
IS given to the president and fac
ulty.
