Two Places in Doubt.

Fourth and fifth places are still in

keeping close together. Lillian now has
the advantage over TTice. but they have
been so close together all along that a
slight squirt by either changes their stand
ing from day to day.
Even at this late date it Is impossible to
figure on the winners Of most Of the eight
district prizes. AS the contestants are
working all over the city, often overlap
ping one anothers territory. it can safely
be sad that flies In no part of the Dis
trict are living in peace. The work as
now carried on by the contestants. where
by the flies in various districts are being
attacked simultaneously. is just the kind
that the health Office officials have been
hoping for. as 1t is felt that the pests will
not be able to form fly centers and carry
on breeding, which would result in such
great numbers of young flies as to flood
the city again.
For many weeks. stables where the flies
are said to breed more rapidly and in
larger numbers than anywhere else were

With delivery yesterday to the health
office in the District building of 2s5,OJJ
dead insects the Industrial Home School
Anti-fy Club made deep cut in the
lead of Lawrence Fitzgerald, who is i'll
first place in The Stars antf-iy cam

with III. 600 flies. which, though good
score. was III 100 less than that of his
nearest rival. the Industrial Home School
layton Burdette, president OF the
school club. announced yesterday that
his club is prepared for strong finish
and said that he expected to overcome
the lead of Fitzgerald, but unfortunately
for the fly killers the cool weather.
which is likely to continue for several
days, will materially lessen the number
of flies. II the weather man continues
with his cold snap 1t is not probable
that Burdette will finish in first place,
but with sudden turn TO heat the army
at the school is expected to break all
records during the next week.
The score last night Of the two leaders
was. Fitzgerald, 2. 333, 200. and Burdette,
2. ESQ., 100, leaving the leader a margin Of
242 500. Another contestant, who is
steadily plunging along, rarely missing a
day without a large score, is William
Steiner. He has more than 10000 to
his credit, and his average daily score Is
steadily on the increase.
