SUMMER CAMP OPENING
NEAR; WORK IS RUSHED
Vegetables From Camp Garden to
Be Feature of Bill of Fare and
Better Than Last Year.

With the time for the opening of the
summer camps for INDECENT persons
rapidly approaching. the summer out
ings committee is now completing the
work of preparation. Many tents have
already been named for the season and
are being received almost daily. Tents
are named by orders and persons sup
porting them.
One of the features of all the camps
last year, which made the food much
more tasty. was the fact that vege-
tables. picked with the dew on them
and served the same day, were always
on the bill of fare. The camp garden
supplied all the vegetables for the
three camps last summer. The garden
this year bids fair to be even better
than that of last year and will save
considerable.

APPROVES THE FLY TRAP
OPERATED IN ST. LOUIS
DR.. Arthur L. Murray Believes Same
Type Should Be Used in
Washington.

That municipal fly traps. such as are
operated in st. Louis and described
and illustrated in The Star of yesterday,
would be a good thing for Washing
ton, was the statement of DR.. Arthur L.
Murray of the health department last
night.
DR.. Murray, who has been In charge
Of the hy-swatting crusade in the Dis
trict for several years, and arranged the
campaigns conducted by The Star. said
''It would be mighy good thing for
Washington to have few huge fly
traps located at some of the more prom
tnent street intersections.
Would Arouse Interest.
The mere sight of such traps would
attract attention and arouse interest in
the fight against the flies" he said. He
suggested that a continuance with a
double cone. the top one to be smaller
than the lower. would be an improve
ment on the St Louis trap.
DR.. Murray thinks the st. Louis plan
would mean a great deal TO the people
OF Washington. Their presence on the
streets, he said, probably would sug-
gest the use OF traps to persons who
have none IN their homes, and thus the
fight against the determination of the
disease-carrying insect would be
greater.
During the campaign for swatting the
ny. conducted by The Star several
years ago, boy named Burdett. who
was one of the prize winners. con-
structed a trap on the order of the one
In 81. Louis, although not as large. II
was used in the vicinity of Center mar
ket and caught approximately 307, 900
flies one day. DIR. Murray stated.

Writer Sent Note of Warning.

The government has no motors which
could be disposed of in this way and no
appropriation for such purposes, As
sistant Secretary Newton advises the
applicant for aeronautical honors. He
adds a note of warning:
Having had some experience in the
development of aircraft, perhaps IL
would be proper for me to suggest to
you that you be very sure that your air
ship is constructed on proper lines before
hazarding any money in the purchase
OF motor, which Is. of course. one of
the most expensive parts of any type
of aerial craft"

Imitation of Ordinary Trap.

Thege traps are a huge Imitation Of the
ordinary fly traps one often sees in

one places piece of suet OF a piece Of

cape. The traps are three-story affairs,
with plenty of light and air for the flies
