that ne felt certain that the price OF
copper would Doe maintained at 10
cents or better for some time,
He said ne feared that the price
would go somewhat above le cents. but
hoped that IL would not. as he regard
cd that a fair figure for producers and
consumers. The copper metal situa-

Those who hold copper stocks are
watching the London copper market

the third time this month that copper

Tho Horses Pedometers.

The whorls of hair on the coats Of
horses and other animals are natural
pedometers, inasmuch as they register
the locomotive activities OF the ami
mails on whose bodies they are found
The best examples and the gn'atest
number Of these hairy whorls and
crests are found ON the domestic
horse. A notable instance is the grace
full feathering that extends along tho
hollow of the flank, dividing the trunk
OF the animal from the hind quarters.
There are also crests and whorls on
the horses chest and other parts OF its
body. A study of the action OF the un-
derlying muscles explains the origin Of
these peculiarities in the lay Of the
hair and furnishes the justification for
calling them pedometers. although the
analogy is. of course. merely superb

a simply backing Mr. Uren's statements
2 They made two serious charges. one
that the North Kearsarge branch OF
the mine was operated at loss of
about 100000 last year and the other
related TO the alleged unwisdom OF re-
modelling the Osceola stamp mill and
a change in the crushing department.
Andavits in direct contradiction

officials of the Osceola or Calumet &
Hecla companies. These had been
presented in advance and they were
followed by further amdavits from Mir.
/ Cren IN which he held 10 his original
ALLEGATIONS.
Then Attorney Rees for the Osceola
company, called MIR Uren on the Wit
ness stand.
Upon examination ii developed that
Mr. Uren figured the alleged North
Kearsargc loss Of 100000 from the
annual report reasoning that inasmuch
as the Osceola branch of the mine
made no profit in 1910 on copper that !
ran IA pOunGs 10 the ton the North |
Nearsarse must necessarily show a /

based his afiidavits on annual reports.
Attorney Rees brought the acknowl-
cdgement from Mr.. Uren that South
Kearsarge costs were seven cents n
pound in 1910 and that North Kear-
sarge, instead of showing a loss OF
100000 as alleged actually showed a
profit Of 100000. The witness figured
the proposition on a pad before the
court. Mr. Rees then frankly asked
Mr. Urcn il he didn't actually know
these things when the afiidavits We're
signed and he acknowledged his error.

No Conflict With Other Duties.

II was impressed upon the boys that
the fly killing will not in any way inter
fere with their play hours or their scout
activities. Many of the boys will prob
ably enter the campaign tomorrow. which
is the first of the month, and get in the
July campaign on an equal footing with
the other boys who have been working
for the last two months.
Some of the boys seem to have misun-
under the impression that they will be
handicapped in the campaign for July
because they have not been working in
past months However, the rules OF the
contest are so framed that each month
is practically a contest in itself, and all
of the boys entering tomorrow will start
with even chances The prizes for Sep
TENDER will be awarded to those who have
made the largest scores during the entire
campaign.
In anticipation of many boys entering
the contest Monday. Dr. Murray of the
District health Office. room 8, District
building. has a large supply of aswatters
on hand for free distribution among the
boys The boxes in which the flies are
turned into the health Office are also fur
nished free. Small traps, which catch on
an average OF more than loco flies day,
may be purchased for 10 or 10 cents and
one boy working few minutes day can
care for a dozen traps. Many are now
doing this. The traps are easily cleaned
and kept sanitary by having boiling water
poured through them. This operation also
kills the flies and the innumerable germs
on their bodies, thereby eliminating any
chance Of the child being contaminated
by contact with disease breeders.

Scene of Rivalry.

The second district in The Stars anti
fly campaign. which during June had only
one entrant, will be the scene Of great
competition next month, it is expected, as
many of the boys of Troop 25, Boy Scouts,
will enter the contest. This district is
one of the largest in the city, extending
from Florida avenue north to the District
line and bounded on the east by the
Brentwood road and on the west by Rock
creek.
The headquarters of Troop % is on 18th
street northwest near Kenyon street. As
a number of the members of the troop
will leave the city shortly for the sum-
mer it was decided not to have the
troop enter a unit, but instead some
of the members will enter and undoubt-
eddy have help from some of the boys
with whom they have worked in the
troop.
Some of the important details of the
contest were explained to the boys Fri
day night, and all present We're enthu-
siastic at the prospect of Kidding the
neighborhood of the troublesome flies and
at the same time having the excellent
opportunity of winning a large cash prize
by working a few minutes each day.
Among the boys who live in the neigh
borhood and who have been talking
flies are Robert Porter. Ashley Dean.
Lindsey Green, Rudolph Devault and
Clifford Smith. William Giddings. patrol
leader of the troop. will leave the city in
such a short time that he will be unable
to enter the contest. At first the troop
contemplated engaging in the campaign
in body under his leadership.
AS all of the boys in the troop are &C
customed to discipline and have learned
up the war on the flies in a systematic
manner.
