Two Sets of Prizes.

Two sets of prizes are offered-one for
competitors who are under twelve years
of age and the other for children be-
tween the ages of twelve and sixteen
years In each class there is a first prize
of s., a second prize of So and a third
prize of s. making a total of $40 in prizes
to be awarded for the best essays deal
ing with the fly.
The essays may be general in character,
but those written by contestants under
twelve years of age must not exceed 300
by the older contestants must not be
longer than 500 words each.
Children who desire to enter the con-
test may secure data about the fly by
applying to DIR. Arthur L. Murray Of the
District health Office, who is supervising
the anti-f1y campaign.
Suggestions by that official concerning
methods of building f1y-traps. extermf-
mating the insects after they have been
caught, hunting out the haunts of the fly
and kindred subjects should be OF value
to contestants who are after the essay
prizes.
One Swats 600 Flies.
DIR. Murray yesterday spent busy aft
ernoon counting the flies delivered at the
campaign headquarters in the municipal
building by number of new contestants.
One competitor brought in 600 flies,
which was the biggest showing of the
day The insects this spring have de-
veloped in such limited numbers that the
children competing in the campaign have
not been able to make high scores.
Health officials are wondering whether
The Stars contest of a year ago or un-
favorable weather has contributed most
10 the DELAYED appearance Of the fly in
considerable numbers. Undoubtedly both
factors are, to degree, responsible.
With the anti-fiy campaign now well
under way, the District health authori-
ties believe that the fly will have a diff
ficult time intrenching himself in the
capital this season and that the health
of the city. as a result, will record an

These great stars of the bike track

this match for some time and now
they are going to have it. The race
is to be at one mile, French style
best two out of three heats.
This is the choicest morsel n the
way of a bike race that a pee
dished up for the bike enthusiasts for
many years-in fact, there never was
a match on this side of the big pond
that has the class this race mas
Friol is by far the best man in Europe

twelve years the king of the Amer

Kramer has met Friol before-in
Europe and once in Madison Square
Garden-but Friol is a far faster man
now than when he faced the Ameri-
can on previous occasions. Friol has
beaten Kramer and Kramer has beat
en- Friol. In the only straight two
man match Friol was the victor.
Kramer has also improved, and he
was never better than he is right at
the present time. Frank has not been
beaten for a month in any kind of a
race, and this important match could
not come at a better time.
Both riders have laid off. kept out
of open competition, and prepared for
this race. The word comes from the
training camps that both gladiators
are fit and ready and both have ex-
pressed confidence. However, neither
rider considers the race a "cinch.'
and each is handing the other very
pretty bouquets. Kramer a FRO
is a wonderful rider and will take 8
lot of beating, and the Frenchman
says about the same thing of Kramer
