LET'S BEGIN TO SWAT
'EM EARLY THIS
"a SEASON N

The most effective time to fight is
before the enemy is ready. Why not
open swatting campaign before the
fly is ready? That would give a strate-
gle advantage which would keep the
pest in check.
One can hardly imagine anything
more desirable than a fyless COM
munity. Of course, it is hardly possi-
BILE to eliminate all flies, but expert
ments have shown that flies can be
eliminated to such an extent that they
will be hardly noticeable.
Flies breed in manure and other ami
NAL and vegetable waste. BY elirninat-
ing these breeding places or by treat
ing them with substances which will
kill the fly larvae flies can be almost
entirely eliminated from any farm or
community.
BY starting early, any community
can practically eliminate the fly nui-
sance but if the fly is given an oppor-
tunity to propagate, determination is
well-nigh impossible. The trouble with
most anti-fy campaigns is that they
are not started until the flies begin
to give trouble. Then it is too late for
effective work.

CHAPTER Xxx.

The announcement of Sidney's en-
gagement was not to be made for a
year. Wilson, chatting under the delay,
was obliged to admit to himself that
it was best. He was genuinely in love,
even unselfshly-as far as he could
be unselfish. The secret was to be
carefully kept also for Sidney's sake.
The hospital did not approve of en-
gagements between nurses and the
staff. 1t was disorganizing, bad for
discipline.
Sidney was very happy all that sum-
mer. She glowed with pride when her
lover put through a difficult piece of
work flushed and palpitated when she
heard his praises sung; grew to know,
by sort of intuition, when he was in
the house. She wore his ring on a
fine chain around her neck, and grew
prettier every day.
X. had postponed his leaving until
fall. Sidney had been insistent, and
Harriet had topped the argument in
her businesslike way. "If you insist
on being an idiot and adopting the Ro-
senfeld family" she said, wait until
September. The season for boarders
doesn't begin until fall"
So X. waited for "the season." and
ate his heart out for Sidney in the in
terval.
Johnny Rosenfeld still lay in his
ward, inert from the waist down. K.

matter of fact, he was watching the
boy closely, at Max Wilson's request.
'Tell me when I'm to do it, said Will
son, "and when the time comes, for
Gods sake, stand by me. Come to the
operation. He's got so much confidence
that I'll help him that I don't dare to
fail"
Luckily for Sidney, her three months
service in the operating room kept her
and Carlotta apart. For Carlotta was
now not merely jealous. She found
herself neglected, ignored. It ate her
like fever.
But she did not yet suspect an en-
gagement. 1t had been her theory that
Wilson would not marry easily-that,
in a sense, he would have to be CO.
creed into marriage. She thought mere
ly that Sidney was playing game like
her own, with different weapons. So
she planned her battle, ignorant that
she had lost already.
Her method was simple enough. A
new inferno had come into the house,
and was going through the process OF
learning that from senior at the med1-
cal school to half-baked junior In

an afterthought: 81 hope Max Will
son will settle down now. He's been

It was late when K. got home. Sid
ney was sitting on the low step, wait
ing for him. With long breath
of content, K. folded up his long length
on the step below her.

said, ''how goes the world?'
Things have been happening, K"
He sat erect and looked at her. It
was moment before he spoke. He
sat looking ahead, his face set. When
after moment, he spoke, it was to
forestall her, after all.

''You expected it, didn't your"
'I-it's not an entire surprise"
"Aren't you going to wish me hap
pinessY'
IF my wishing could bring anything
good to you, you would have every
thing in the world"
His voice was not entirely steady,
but his eyes smiled into hers.
"Am I-are we going to lose you
soon?"
ST shall finish my training. I made
that a condition"
Then, in burst of confidence:
81 know so little, K, and he knows
so much! am going to read and
study, so that he can talk to me about
his work. That's what marriage ought
to be, sort Of partnership. Don't you
think 500"
K. nodded. His mind refused to go
forward to the unthinkable future. In
stead, he was looking Blackjack to
those days when he had hoped some
time to have wife to talk to about
his work, that beloved work that was
no longer his. And he had lost her
absolutely, lost her without struggle
to keep her. His only struggle had
been with himself, to remember that he
had nothing to offer but failure.
Sidney's eyes were on the tall house
across. 1t was Doctor Eds evening
office hour, and through the open win
dow she could see a line of people
waiting their turn. They sat immobile,
inert, doggedly patient, until the open

THE FIRST FLY

Why, there's a fyl Seems
kind O. good, doesn't it, 10 hear
it buzzing around contentedly in
that sunny window? 1t means
that spring has come. You are
glad to see it, just as you well
come the crocuses and bluebirds.
But wait minute. Where did
that fly come from? Not up from
Florida with Gentle Sister South
Wind, as did Welcome Robin and
Winsome Bluebird. No, it
Matched out of a muck heap, and
it came right into the house
without wiping its feet. And it's
mate will go back to the muck
heap to lay more eggs, and by
the time the hot days come the
two will have some millions OF
descendants. And all of them
will come into the house without
wiping their feet, and they will
leave filth and disease germs in
your food. Spells the romance,
doesn't it2 The fly is your enc
my. Stay it!

5 Is the fly merely nuisance? No.
