FLIES ARE SCARCE
Rain and Cooler Weather Have
Their Effect.
THE SLAUGHTER GOES ON
But Number Killed Averages Only
100000 Daily.
CAMPAIGN IS NEARING END
Results of War Have Been Felt in
Every Section of the
District.
Standing of Contestants.

Bearing out the prediction Of Dr.
Arthur L. Murray, supervisor Of The
Stars anti-f1y campaign, that rain and
cooler weather would produce decid-
ed scarcity Of the pests. deliveries Of
flies to the health department have
fallen from a daily average approx
mating 100000 to one Of about 100000.
and It is doubtful if contestants will
be able to maintain the latter mark
during the seven remaining days Of the
campaign.
The months slaughter Of insects. so
far. amounts to 4,24s,600. and there is
every prospect that the four-and-a-half
million mark will be reached, but it is
doubtful il a greater slaughter record
will be established.
Millions Of flies that were unable to
find shelter undoubtedly have persisted in
the rain that has fallen since yesterday.
Droves of the insects. however. have been
able to gain entrance into homes. and
now is the most important time of the
year for householders to make war on
them. Determined effort in this direction
germ spreaders being much reduced in
size.
Two Districts Not Represented.
Two of the eight fly districts are not
represented IN this months campaign.
There is still opportunity for prospective
contestants from these sections to enter
the crusade and be among the district
prize winners. Information as to which
districts are not represented will be fur
nished by DIR. Murray on application.
The effect of the fly war has been felt
in every section of the District. according
to advices received by DR.. Murray. While
the flies destroyed are entered under the
names Of only a few contestants, hun
dreds of residents of the city have as
sisted the youthful campaigners. Flies
have been trapped in markets. grocery
stores bakeries, lunchroons. dwellings,
and various places where the insects are
accustomed to gather.
observation-disclosures generally have bene-
flied by the campaign said DR.. Murray,
land they owe a debt of gratitude to the
boys and girls who have displayed great
perseverance and skill in fighting the fly.
The benefits of the campaign should be
still more in evidence next year.

Miss Rleaklie presented to her audience
a chart of a school at Vineland, N. j.,
conducted by Dr. Goddard, criminolo-
gist who believes in heredity. The chart
gave the record of girl thirteen years
old, who is said to have supported her
grandmother. mother and other members
of her family by crime. DR.. Goddard had
traced twenty-three criminals in the
girls family and Miss Bleaklie declared
that the investigation of this childs life

criminals such as this child. The dele

to the Catholic Church taking part in
such alleged responsibility of the state.

Ger of Cincinnati, said it were better for
the state to support the home through the
