United States Army on the polo field in
Potomac Park yesterday afternoon by
the score Of Az to u. Both the teams

Despite the fact that no particular signi1-

the previous two games. Drawn by the
reports of the excellence of the teams.
several thousand people surrounded the

Women predominated in the crowd and

Product in Single Season.

During a season one female fly will
have a progeny of 100000, or nearly
half ton in weight. Flies deposit eggs
in moist decaying animal or vegetable
matter of any description, but especially
prefer horse manure, sputum, garbage
and filth. They never lay in a perfectly
dark room or place. The eggs of the
house fly hatch in few hours eight to
twenty-four) in warm weather and the
larva or maSgot energies. The larva
enters the pupal stage in from three to
five days and becomes an active free
flying adolescent fly in from nine to ten
days from the time the eggs are laid.
Growth of the fly slowly occurs during
the summer months, despite some state
ments to the contrary. Rapidity of
growth, of course, depends upon the
amount of nourishment, heat and mois-
ture available to the insect. Maggots
are conscious of light when exposed to it
and endeavor to shun it by wriggling into
dark crevices
las cold weather approaches many
flies die, some remain active throughout
the winter in warm houses, and others
hibernate. When there is a mild winter
many more billions of flies survive
throughout the cold period than in severe
winters, with resulting large population
in the ensuing summer.
Dangerous in Hospitals.
Flies infect with disease by carrying
micro-organisms on their feet, wings ana
bodies. They are of particular danger in
hospitals and are of Importance to the
surgeon, as their presence renders asepsis
and antisepsis impossible. In the bac-
THEOLOGICAL laboratory they are the great
est menace. Many OF the so-caued air
borne diseases are in reality fiy-borne
One fly recently caught while drinking
from glass of milk in South street, New
York, and examined in the laboratory
contained more than 100000 bacteria. Ig-
naz Matausch isolated 10000 typhoid
germs from the feet OF a single house fly
caught in New York city.

AN ANNUAL SACRIFICE
DR.. Nelson Du Val Brecht Describes
the Insects Activities as Dis
ease Breeder.

In connection with it's efforts to direct
along educational lines a successful war
fare on the fly, The Star has arranged with
DR.. Nelson Du Val Brecht, late assistant
surgeon in the United States public health
service. for the publication of a series
of articles dealing with the insect
In the article which appears below DR..
Brecht gives an account of the origin
and activities of the fly. The next in
stallment of the series will deal with
preventive methods
THE Hebrew word for fly states DR..
Brecht. lis 'beelzebub' or 'beelzebul,
from 'baal. meaning Lord or God and
'zebul.' meaning filth The Jewish name
aptly indicates the most common breeding
place of the insects.
Martin Luther hated flies. as he said.
because they are the image of the devil
and heretics.' Ruskin describes the COM
mon house fly as the most perfectly free
and republican of creatures.
Throughout the history of mankind
flies have inflicted more destruction on
man and beast than all of the armies
Of the world. The fly is one of the chief
disseminators, or insect porters, of the
contagion and infection of most of the
communicable diseases of man and the
lower animals The cost of the fly to the
oHltco states COnSeTVdIlVely placed,
amounts to $3JO,OOOOOO and 10000, 900
years of human life annually.
Propagation of Disease.
Among important diseases propagated
by the fly may be mentioned typhoid
fever, sleeping sickness, infantile paraly-
sis, paratyphoid fever cholera, cholera
infantum, dysentery. smallpox. tubercu-
losis. ophthalmia and blindness, malig-
nant pustule or woolsorter's disease,
plague and numerous other affections.
In New York city alone the fly
causes annually 1000 deaths from ty-
phoid fever and 5000 from intestinal dis
eases.
Geographically flies are found dis
There are numerous varieties or species,
of which the most common are the
house fly. domestic or typhoid fly, the
stable fly, blue bottle or blow fly, clus-
ter fly and tse-tse fly.
Normally :iieS begin to breed in June
and July in temperate climates. They
breed at all times in warm climates and
climates when confined in warm cellars
and kitchens. a single female fly de-
posts as many as 100 eggs at time and
lays six or more times during it's life
time. Darwin states that d single pair
OF the Quick-breedinS African lies can
lay enough eggs and breed enough mag
gots in forty-eight hours to devour a
lion with the exception of it's skeleton. 1t
has been calculated that if the progeny
of a single pair of flies. assuming that
they all lived, were pressed together at
the end of summer they would occupy a
space OF about a quarter of a million
cubic feet.
