This is not because divorces are expensive.

DR.. Hindle of London finds that

may be directly determined by the ac-

the flies being attracted by odors
borne by the wind. Fine weather and
warmth favor dispersal, and flies
travel further in the open country than
in towns-probably because the houses
offer food and shelter. In thickly
