STARvE THE FLY, TOO

This Method Promises e.
fective determination.

The fly is surely doomed. if the double
crusade of "starve the fly" and swat
the fly is taken up by all the residents
Of the District. That is the consensus of
opinion of those who have been making
a study of the problem Of destroying the
little disease spreaders
That many persons intend to give the
fly no place in their homes was evidenced
today by the number of people who called
at the Office of The Star to secure one
Of the fly swatters which are being given
away free for the coupon in The Star.
Active steps for more cleaning up, so
that the fly will have no breeding place,
are also being made.
With the forces Of .fy swatters"
and fly starvers" working to make
the city a place where flies will be a
rarity, certainly is felt that serious
inroads the fly population will
quickly be made. If work is constant
between now and the continued hot
weather, when the fly is at its worst.
1t is believed the flies during those
worst months will be much smaller in
numbers than in any previous year.

JUDGES LIMIT
Wilson Will Insist That His Ap.
pointeeS Retire at
That Age.

Federal judges become fossilized at
seventy years of age and should retire to
give younger men on the bench oppor-
tunity to pass on big questions OF law
and fact, in the opinion of President Will
son.
Mr. Wilson will not appoint any man
to the federal bench who does not agree
In advance to retire at seventy years of
age and, IL 1t can be avoided. no man
above fifty years of age will be named
to the bench.
This IL held to be President Wilson S
policy toward federal judicial appoint
ments. as emphasized in several ways.
but especially In the case of Judge
Charles b. Howry of the Court of
Claims. Judge Howry wanted to become
chief justice Of that court.
He is a personal friend of the Presi-
dent. and the families Of the two are well
acquainted. In conference not long
ago the President told Judge Howry that
he would insist that all persons nomi-
mated by him agree to retire at seventy
years of age Judge Howry is sixty nine
and did not care to leave the Court of
Claims bench a year from now. There
fore he declined to consent to retirement
If he should become chief justice, The
President thereupon nominated Edward
X. Campbell Of Birmingham for chief
justice.
The Presidents view is said to be that
mon become so set in their mental and
nhvsical processes at seventy years OF
AGE that they cannot give to the gov
eminent and litigants the active, prompt
attention necessary and justified. The
fossilizing of the mental processes, too
does not conduce to progressive interpre-
tation of questions before the courts.
The President is said today to be set
in his determination to these mat
tiers. He is willing to admit that there
are executions to his rule and that many
men are fully as alert and as progressive
mentally at seventy as other men at thirty
or forty, but the rule is to the contrary

THINKS SOME ENEMY
TOLD Of HIS WEALTH

a Fellow" He Used
to Be.

Following the reading in the House
today of an article recently printed in
The Star, saying that the members of
the House progressive party are divid-
ed as to where they stand on the pres
ent tariff bill, Representative Copley
of Illinois. replying to Representative
Humphrey of Washington. said that
the statements contained In the ar
ticle to the effect that he is a wealthy
man must have been inspired by some
interest unfriendly to himself.
IF i am wealthy, that is a personal
matter. l have worked for my liv-
ing. j have dug In a ditch. and 1 am
just the same sort of a fellow now
that 1 used to be. I have also worked
side by side with bank presidents and
l am proud of 1t"
Other Rich Men in Party.
Representative Humphrey. reading the
article. said:
How is it possible that a party SO
filled with righteousness and wisdom can
fail to stand together on the correct side
of this tariff bill? This article speaks of
a rich man in the party. but that is moth
ing unusual. Look at Perkins, look at
McCOrmlck. III is easy 10 serve TWO mas
tiers when you know how.
THE progressives denounced the Payne
bill to get in, and they denounce the I'm
derwOod bill to get out. II they wanted
TO do the right thing they should have
brought in bill that gave high protec-
ton to every bull moose district. That
would have been real revision downward.
But here they seem to be split. Are they
the same old vocabulary performers that
they have always been?'
Anxious as to Breakfast.
Representative Hulings of Pennsylva-
MIA, a progressive. displayed anxiety dur
ing Representative Humphreys remarks
to ask him a question. Finally, when he
had the opportunity he said:
II only wanted to know what the gen.
tleman had for breakfast?
1t was not progressive pie" retorted
Representative Humphrey.
