SWATS SAVE MONEY
New Argument for Anti-FIy
Campaign Presented.
PECUNIARY VALUE SHOWN
Interesting Statement Of Industrial
Home Superintendent.
RELIEF GIVEN TO THE HORSES
Reduction of Three Items of Ex-
pense Credited to Crusade.
Heavy Toll This Month.
RELIEF GIVEN TO THE HORSES

A new reason for 'swatting' the fly
today was furnished by Supt. c.
w. Skinner OF the Industrial Home
School, who declared that the cost of
maintaining that institution has been re-
duced al a result of the two-year warfare
on the insect waged by the children Of
the school.
Reductions in three items of expense
may be credited directly to the fact that
fewer flies have haunted the grounds of
the institution, according to Mr.. Skinner.
The cost of feeding and shoeing the
horses maintained by the school has been
less. while stable repairs have not cost
as much as in previous years.
Mr. Skinner says that the horses have
expended little or no energy in stamping
as a result of being annoyed by flies.
This. he declares. has had an effect in
reducing the shoeing bill, amounting to a
saving Of 80 cents for three horses every
two months.
Saving on Floor and Food.
Prior to the anti-fy crusade the school
authorities found 1t necessary to put
new floor in the stable every year. Now,
the floors last much longer, the present
one having been in service for two years.
Inasmuch as the horses do not expend
as much energy in stamping, they 40 not
require as much food, according to the
superintendent, which leads to decided
saving in the feed bill.
Heretofore the principal reasons that
have been urged for the destruction of
health interests. Mr.. SINNERS discov-
cry that there are pecuniary dement's TO
be derived from the destruction OF flies
will be received with interest by the
scientists and sanitarians who are work
ing on the liberalization problem.
Effect on Milk Production.
According to Dr. Arthur L. Murray of
the local health department. expert
ments have shown that cows which are
not annoyed by flies give a greater
quantity of milk and require less food.
Practically all Of the children of the
Industrial Home School have engaged in

in the neighborhood of the institution
have become scarce. Layton H. Bur-

BANKERS IN DENIAL
Interest on Checking Accounts
Not to Be Abolished.
CANARO CAUSES A FURORE
Reported That Charges Also Would
Be Made Against Small
Monthly Balances.
CANARD CAUSES A FURORE

Emphatic and authoritative denial was
made today that the Washington Bank
ers' Association, either at its next meet
ing or at any future meeting, would take
action looking to the abolition of interest
payments upon all checking accounts or
to the adoption of a system of monthly
charges upon accounts which do not car
ry an average balance of S1OO.
In fact. it is likely that no occurrence
of recent years has caused more of a
furore in local banking circles than a re-
port which gained circulation this MORN
ing, in which the unqualified assertion
was made that the Washington Bankers
Association contemplated taking these
revolutionary steps at its next meeting.
Causes Discomfort.
The report caused considerable personal
discomfort to at least two local bank Off
cials, because the story had its bases in
a quoted interview with the cashier OF
Well known G street bank"
AS the District National and the Com
mercial National are in the financial CEN
ter in upper G street, friends of Edwin
s. Wolfe, cashier of the District Bank,
and John Poole. cashier of the CONNER
cial. beleaguered them with questions
Both were kept busy all day answering
telephone calls and the queries OF busi-
ness men and depositors who visited their
offices. and in all instances both not only
disclaimed any knowledge of the lncep-
tion of the report. but branded the
whole story as an absolute canard.
MIR. Poole who is secretary OF the
Washington Bankers Association. was In
a position to know the attitude OF the
upon the questions involved.
and he made the direct statement that
there was no basis in fact for the as
sumption that the association had in even
serious contemplation any such changes
in the local banking system.
