INSECTS IN PLENTY

MANY ARE ON EXHIBITION

Several thousand distinct species of in
sects make their homes in and about the
District of Columbia. the list embracing
every sort Of flying, creeping, buzzing
creature that haunts streets, woods, fields,
streams, swamps or city homes. And in
a room at the National Museum visitors
may find specimens of many of them.

include at least one specimen of every
insect to be found in the District.
Along with this exhibit Is also to be
found a collection of all fishes found in
the waters in and about the District,
from the tiniest minnows to the biggest
bass or shad. And, further, hero the
visitor will find. beautifully stuffed and
mounted, single specimens, pairs. or
whole families of the birds that frequent
the capital Of the nation. However much
the small boys of Washington know about
flies and butterflies and snake feeders and
such things, or mad toms or perch or cat
fish, or sparrows, hawks. thrushes and
the like there is a certain wise man in
the museum who knows a great deal
more.
The wise man knows so much about
flies and every other tiny creature that
flashes in the air, drones over fields and
streams or buzZes In every bush and tree
around Washington that he has mounted
each variety in cases.
This, OF course. assures one OF the &C
curacy of the wise mans knowledge,
since a museum is the illustrated bible
of science and a bible cannot fib.

exterminated since July Is 1,44S,400.
Lawrence Fitzgerald made the best

about 100000 points better than that
of Layton II. Burdette. who won first

Although Walter Thought, leader Of
the Bruen Home army of "swatters,"
was in third place until yesterday.
William Steiner. one of last months

Interest Never Equaled.

"All indications point to the most
successful fly war this month Wash
ington has ever known" said DR.. MUIR
ray last night The interest of the
children in the work never has been
equaled. There are abundant indiea-
lions that grownups. also. are more
interested than they have ever been
before.
1.-The educational value Of the local

be felt. Washington is much nearer a
fyless era than 1t ever has been and,
while I do not say it Is possible to en-
tirely destroy the insects, the all

numbers that they will be a much less
serious menace to health. We should
have some tangible evidences Of i'm

Girls Band Together.

Several little girls living at Good Hope,
D. c.. have banded together under the
leadership of Lillian Portion and have
entered The Stars campaign against the
fly. The girls have gone after the fly
from the start with vengeance and
their work for the first few days shows
that any organization of boys which
completes with them In the AnacQstia dis
trict, district No. in the cS4nLIAgn, will
have to work hard to keep ahead Of the
girls.
Lillians first lieutenant is her sister
SOPHIE. The girls are using traps and
swatters and have outlined plans to rid
the neighborhood Of the pests. An at
tractive cart has been converted into a
fly delivery wagon and will make trips
to the District building several times al
week
Knew Fly Is Menace.
The future housekeepers have learn
ed early that the fly is a menace to a
we'll regulated household. and as
clean home cannot exist when flies are
numerous the girls have decided to
annihilate the pests. The membership
of the Good Hope organization, how
ever, is not limited to girls. and in
the next few days 1t is expected that
the ranks will be reinforced by many
boys, but. nevertheless. the executive
Offices will remain in the hands of the
girls.
Anacostia is a fertile field for fly
killers. and with enthusiasts at work
it Is thought that thousands of the
insects will be destroyed daily during
July Ralph Lucas, living on Stevens
road southeast. is in the same district
and is an ardent fly killer. He and
the girls will fight 1t out this month
for the district prize.

Charles river about the middle of
May. Princeton rowed against Cor
nell and Harvard on the Charles last
May, but will not be against Cornell
and Harvard this year.
Some time ago a tentative arrange
ment was made between Harvard
and Princeton for Il dual race on
the Charles next season, the Prince
ton crew having put up such a good
contest last May that 1t was felt at
Harvard that the Tigers should be
given another chance.
During the Harvard-Princeton foot
ball game in this city the Princeton
varsity crew manager -was in this
citv with the manager of the Penn
sylvania eight in an effort to induce
Harvard to let the Quakers come
into the race as well. The Prince
ton manager stated that the Tigers
were all anxious to have the Quak-
ers in the event. Whether the Har-
ward rowing committee will decide
to grant Princeton's request or not
is not determined, but in any case
Princeton will row the Crimson
crew.
In view of the real facts in the
press dispatches from Philadel-

Dame Rumor added another yarn

same body of men who wanted to give
Mrs. Helen Hathaway Britton $500, 900
for the Cardinal franchise last year.
Bresnahan was informed at Ma

that three National League clubs re-
fuse to waive on his services. Pitts

holding him up. There is said to be

must exercise their option, holding

Thirteen teams rolled in the Star
headp.n tournament on the Iroquois
alleys last night. The bowlers were
members of various nearby organiza-
lions, and the affair made one of
those club nights which have be-
come so popular in the Star headpin
tournament. c. Hammock was on hand
with three teams from the Criterion
Club, and H. w. Cutler got together
a bunch of teams which he dubbed
the Combination Club.
The only watchfob-winner last
night turned up in Bert st. John, who
rolled an even 100. He had one miss.
but did we'll enough in the other
frames to overcome the handicap. He
had a score of 80 in the eleventh
frame, and a big cheer went up when
his twelfth ball went right into the
pocket and all the pins were swept
into the pit.
The Gould & Eberhardt bowlers are
to have a special night tonight in the
Star headpin tournament. 1t is x
pected hat something like fifteen
teams will be on the job. These
bowlers have had previous expert
ences In ,headpin tournaments con-
Quoted by the Star. and they should
be able to make good and capture
some of the watchfobs offered by the
star. Those of the silver variety are
awarded to those who have marks be-
tween 100 and ITO, while a score Of 10
or better earns for its maker a gold
trophy.
