Washington, Dec. 15-Campaigns
against the fly until the pestilential
insect is exterminated was recon-
mended in report made today by
Edward Hatch, Jr., of New York,
chairman of the "fy-fighting" commit
tee, to the American Civic Associa-
ton, in convention here Mr.. Hatch
told of the progress made in waging
war on the fly as breeder and
spreader of disease
when the chairman of this COM
mittee, a few years ago, before the
committee itself had been formed, be-
gan to acquaint the general public with
the danger of the fly pest" said Mr..
Hatch, "his efforts excited more hui
morous comment than serious atten-
ton. All that is changed now, and a
good part of the change has been
wrought within the past twelve
months.
Since the last annual conference on
the fly pest, letters have poured in
upon the committee from all quarters
of the country, asking for advice on
the best methods of exterminating the
house fly. The committee caused to
be printed and circulated upwards of

100000 pieces of literature which
served as ammunition in innumerable
fly swatting campaigns. In number
Of cities school children competed for
would best describe the fy's vicious
career. In many cities newspapers
organized Swat the Fly contests for
considerable cash prizes. The num-
bers scored by the winners ran into
the hundreds of thousands, and the
count $50 many flies to the quartz in
Baltimore alone reached 100000
Washington boys and girls caught and
killed only 6,3S6,6OO, but Washington
can't boast OF really bumper crop
of flies.
with view to summing up the
seasons work-taking fly census as
ii were-the committee recently wrote
tc the health commissioners of the
different states. From the replies, it
appears Kansas is in the van of the
fiy-fghting army. The Indiana board
OF health distributed the text of the
anti-fy ordinance and twelve cities
and seventeen towns adopted it. Da-
kota reported marked decrease in
the fly population. Much ingenuity has
been shown by some of the state
boards in designing anti-f1y posters"
In concluding, Mr.. Hatch said that
the committee, while pleased with the
results, realized that the war against
the fly was to be long one.
Swat the fly campaigns help" he
said, "but what We need most is to
arouse such a consciousness of our
duty to ourselves and to others that
we will first swat our own flies by
