LJe Of Fly Explained
 Amd His Death Urged

in a general consideration of fly borne diseases.
 The species so far referred to are of all blood sucking and the infec- tions are in each case introduced directly into the circulation of the human victim. Another method of disease transmission remains. This thod of the house fly. This insect is incapable of piercing the skin of an infant, yet according to the re- ports of an official medical board, it was during the Spanish American war, as a carrier of disease germs, , the cause of more deaths among hte American soldiers than all of the Spanish bullets.
 Of the disease carrying insects this common huose fly and the stable fly. or StomOXys, are of more inter- est to us here in Arizona than all the others combined. The last men, toned will be considered first The Stable Fly
 The stable fly, scientifically named 1 Stomoxys Calcitrans, is not a well known insect. Since it resembles the more common house fly very closely it is usually mistaken for the latter ! The two species, however, have struc- tural differences which serve to dis tinguish them readily. The most striking difference is in the mouth parts The stable fly has a strong black proboscis which is capable of piercing not only the human skin but that of horses and cattle as well In fact, in some localities, this fly is troublesome pest of domestic animals. At certain times these in- sects become numerous in and around houses and owing to it's con- fusion with the house fly the latter is confidently believed by many to be capable of inflicting a true bite ac- companied by slightly painful sen- sation. The inability of the true house fly to pierce the human skin mas already been referred to. i; The stable fly breeds principally in decaying straw and in COW man. ure and in the larval and pupal stages resembles the common house
  fly. Nearly ten years ago it was discovered by scientists that this fly 1 is the carrier of a certain human disease in the Phillipine Islands. ln this country, although in late years it has been regarded suspiciously, it has been proved guilty of transmit ting human disease only within | the past year.
 A careful investigation of the oc- curence of infantile paralysis in the state of Massachusetts during the past two seasons resulted in showing a close association between the pre- valence of this insect and the oc- curence of the disease. Finally in- Cculation tests with monkeys showed conclusively that the insect is cap- able of transwitting the dsiease to [ healthy animal. Later experiments have not given as positive results but it is still held by some investiga- tors that the stable fly is an impor tant carrier of this disease. It i: also strongly suspected of carrying pelegra.
 It is gratifying to be able to not' that the stable fly is not as a rul' conspicuously numerous in Phoenix |It is to be hoped that this state

In this interesting paper upon the "house fly" which is a real source of danger to the health of the com munity. Dr. A. w. Morrill, describes the interest that is being taken by themedical fraternity against the genus diptera. The relation of in- sects to human diseases is marked and the losses chargeagle against the fly and the family of two winged things to which it belongs is enor- nous. With a thorough understand ing of the imminent danger that hangs over every home that does not continually conduct swat the fly" campaign, the number of these pests would be materially decreased and the health of the community inl- proved thereby. Kill the house fly and thereby prevent the spread of dlsease' -k.A (By A. W. Morrill, State Entomologist)
 Within the last few years a new branch of science has become estab- lished and has rapidly gained recog- milton as one which is of the clos est concern to human welfare. This is now being designated medical en- tomology." As enemies of the stock man. fruit grower and farmer. insect pests cause losses in the United States amounting to more than a bill lion dollars a year. These losses to live stock and to crops are as a rule easily recognizable. The relation of T and the enormous losses chargeable to them in the role of disease car riers are matters which have re- mained undisclosed to us until re- gently. With the knowledge so far acquired We now charge certain species of these diminutive creatures with various degrees of responsibility in the transmission of no less than twelve of the most destructive of human diseases as well as of num- erous other diseases of minor inn portance.
 As disease carriers, the order oi Dlptera or two winged flies, to which the mosquitoes as well as ordinary flies belong, outranks all other groups of insects in importance. Yellow fever, once the scourge of the south eastern states, is transmissable only through the medium of a single spe- cies of mosquito. Several mosquitoes of the genus Anopholes are responsi- hle for the spread of malaria We have all heard of the so-called mi asma,' but medical entomology has proved that the atmosphere itself ir the worst malarial districts is harm less in the spread of the disease Dengue fever, relative of malaria fever, has also been proved to be carried by mosquitoes, in this case by the common species of the genus Culex. The sleeping sickness ot tropical Africa is carried by the tsetse fly and similar blood suck ing species found in North America known as the stable fly or Stomoxys has been proved to be capable o carrying infantile paralysis. Flea! are recognized as closely related tC the true flies and by some authori ties are included in the same Dip terous order. Bubonic plague, Whicf recently visited our Pacific coast, is carried almost exclusively by the ra flea and may therefore be mentioned

Baton Rouge, LA DEFINITE and
organized movement to bring about
an immediate and serious considera-
ton of the administration assessment
reform bills was launched as result
of the action or part OF the Ways
and Means Committee OF the House in
voting to report without action the
| assessment reform bills.
The bills have been before the COM
mittee for some days, but actual Sc
riouS consideration of them has not
been given. The bills were by consent
permitted to lie quiescent until nu-
merous political and semi-political bills
were out of the way. The admins
tratiOn did not care to risk an import
ant reform measure in the House
while politica! rowing was going on
and vote trading was fragrant.
The committee took up the bills
and discussed them briefly. They had
never been discussed at an advertised
public hearing. Only a portion of the
committee was present. A motion was
made suddenly to report the bills I'M
favorbly. After some discussion an
other motion was made to report them
without action. This prevailed.
The report was not turned into the
House, but the news spread about the
Legislature and aroused a sentiment
OF protest and resentment that result
ed by evening in definite and Or
ganized movement in behalf of the
bills.
Passage OF some legislation reforma-
tory of the present unequal, unjust
and outworn system of assessment is
absolutely essential at this session, all
thinking members of the assembly
agree. The administration has pro-
posed a program to the details of
which it is not welded, but which
In the main has met general approval.
If the program is defeated, either for
policial reasons or In the interests of
office holders and political rings"
It is proposed by the men who are
taking up the fight to definitely fix
for that defeat.

Baton Rouge.-Continued miSrepre

attempts to lay at his door some fort,
or fifty odd bills seeking to create new
offices or raise salaries, induced the
friends Of the administration to ask
the governor to once more make plain
exactly what his legislative program
Is.
That program was specifically out.
lined in the executive message to the
legislature at the beginning of the
session. 1t has since been supple
mented by three special messages
dealing with special subjects. To those
who know the record there can be no
mistake. At the request of those
friends the governor specifically out
lined the bills to which his admins
tration stands pledged.
They follow:
The program OF assessment and
taxation reform, represented by sever
al bills pending in the house. The AS.
ISOLATION of Commerce bill for equali-
cation of assessments in cities and
towns. while not an administration
bill, is favored and is part of the adj
ministration scheme.
The bill to confer on the Railroad
Commission pewed over public utilities.
The workmen's compensation act,
which passed both houses.
The recall, passed two years ago
and defeated at the polls; passed this
time by the senate and pending in
the house.
Constitutional amendment to admit
women for service on public boards,

the list of honorary members of the
association, and to vote against ANAL.
gamating with the National Organiza.
ton OF Sheriffs and Railway Detec-
tiyes.
Burns connection with the associa-
ton was severed without bringing his
name directly before the convention.
A committee prepared a new honorary,
membership list which the convention
adopted. Burns name did not appear
among the members. The detective,
however, did not escape criticism on
the convention floor. His. firm and
himself were assailed by delegates for
using the insignia of the Chiefs AS.
ISOLATION on the firms stationery.
Chief F. w. Hill of Chattanooga, who
introduced a resolution authorizing the
president of the association to take
steps to prosecute nonmembers who
make use of the insignia, declared
Burns had violated his rights as an
honorary member of the association.
The resolution was passed.
Several chiefs, however, said the
principal reason for removing Burns
from their membership was caused by
criticisms he is alleged to have made
concerning methods of various Police
Departments in the United States.
