This Recommendation is the
Chief Item in Program to
Be Offered Congress.

WASHINGTON. July 10.The
general board of the United States
navy practically has decided to re-
commend the construction of six
battle cruisers as the principal item
in the building program which it will
present to Congress for its consider
alton. A majority of the members
of the board, are known to be inn
pressed with the necessity for adding
battle cruisers to the navy immed-
lately.
Battleship cruisers, it is argued,
with a speed of thirty knots an hour
could act as scouts for the fleet. and
this would dispense with the need of
building armored cruisers. 1t is ac-
that the feet is Iadly in
need of fast cruisers or some type of
scout. Battle cruisers also would be
effective fighting ships In long range
firing. Their speed, to a great extent
win insure them against attack from
submarines.

tied by the fly upon human beings or
upon human food.
Danger liner eased.
The danger from the fly is greatly
increased by the extraordinary rapid
ity with which the insect multiplies.
The common house fly includes per-
haps ninety-eight or ninety-nine per
cent OF all the flies ordinarily found
in and around dwellings. A single
female lays eggs, at least two and
possibly four, times in the course OF
its life and averages probably 100
eggs of each occasion. These eggs US
ual1y hatch in less than "a hours. In
deed, under favorable conditions, mag
COTS may issue from them In eight
hours. These maggots grow rapidly,
Noting for the first time within a
day after they are Matched. A day
later they mott second time, and
two or three days afterwards enter
the stage OF pupation. Thus, the to-
tai length of their life as larvae
ranges from four to five days. but this
period may be greatly prolonged by
low temperature or by scarcity of
food. The pupal, or resting stage, lasts
from three to ten days, although dur
ing Information 1t may be prolonged
to as long as from four to five months.
Altogether, it appears that between
the time the eggs are laid and the
time that the adult fly emerges, a
period of from eight days upward
elapses. Ten and twelve day records
were very common in the experiments
made to determine this point. Within
three or four days after the emergence
of the insect as an adult fly, the fe-
male is ready to deposit her eggs.
Thus, 1t is possible to have new
generation of flies every eleven to
fourteen days and in such climate as
Washington, for instance, this will
permit of from ten to twelve gener-
alton every summer. The really eff
fective way to get rid of this danger

No Excuse.
There is. however, no excuse at the
present time for permitting hies to
breed In anything like the numbers
in which they have done In the past.
The vast majority OF flies develop
from eggs which are laid in horse
manure. and there are two simple
ways Of destroying the larvae, as the
young insects or maggots, which hatch
from the eggs are called. Sprinkling
the manure heap with solution pre-
pared by adding one-half pound OF
powdered hellebore to ten gallons OF
water will destroy, according to re-
cent experiments, from Lightweight to
ninety-nine per cent of the larvae in
the manure. II this is not done, the
use OF a simple maggot trap will
prove equally effective. By expert
ments carried on by the bureau of
entomology of the United States De-
pertinent OF Agriculture at the Mary
land Agricultural College. It was
found that the trap used there de-
stroyed fully ninety-nine per cent of
