trance for flies into the cone.
The cone for trap OF this size
should be % inches high and of such
diameter at the bottom that il fits eX-
actly inside the lower hoop, to which
it should he tightly tackled. In max
ing the cone II is easiest to experiment
with n large sheet of stiff paper until
a cone of the right size has been made.
This paper when cut will be a pat
tern for cutting the wire screening. An
easy way to make this pattern is to
use semicircle of paper with a radius
of "a inches. 1t will take about two
thirds of such semicircle to make
the pattern for cone Of the size de-
scribed.
Before inserting the cone, make a
small hole Mt the point or apex,
through which the flies can crawl into
the trap.
To baii the trap. place beneath the
cone on fat saucer or a piece of
board banana skins, slrup, meat or
other foods which seem TO attract flies.
The flies will fly upward from the bait
into the cone and continue until they
go through the small hole into the
cage. To remove the flies from the
cage, scald them and pour them out
of the opening at the top.

Stockholm, June 25.-The Swedish
people arc breathing more easily now
than at any time since the war began.
They are convinced at last that their
King and their government are deter
mined TO maintain a strict and impair
tial neutrality.
II cannot be denied that the political
and international crisis through which
the country passed the latter part OF
May brought it dangerously near to
the brink Of catastrophe. The anti
Russian propaganda carried forward by
an influential group Of politicians
known as the Activists. was outspok-
emily an effort 10 force Sweden into
war with her traditional enemy, Russia.
and thus ally this part OF Scandinavia
with the Central Powers
The pro-German press Of Sweden
carried the campaign at times to a vio-
lent extreme, and the bitterness engen-
dered between these papers and those
representing the Liberal and Socialist
elements of the country may not be ef-
faced for years to come.
Factions Agreed.
It so happened that the Activlst cam
paign, designed to upset the neutrality
of Sweden, actually brought about an
agreement among the contending polit-
ical factions Of the Swedish Parlia-
ment which has given Swedish neu-
trality a stability and standing be-
fore the belligerent nations it had not
enioved before. This agreement was
