Summer War On Fly Is Confined Largely
 to Breeding Places
Hornady Tells What City and County Are Doing Keep Refuse Removed Promptly-Everyone Should Dele
 gate Himself Ely Swatter"

The health officials of the city and the county will cooperate in every way to stop the fly menace, states Commissioner of Health John R. Hor- nady.
 A campaign has been under way since last March for the destruction of the pest and during the next few vigorous. It is late in the year now to attempt to get rid of a fly crop, but efforts will be made to leave as few as possible to lay eggs that will hatch out next year.
 The strategic point of attack on the fly will be the breeding places. which are usually in manure piles and gar bage heaps. It takes fly about nine days to hatch and if all garbage and manure are moved in less than that time, none can hatch. There Is a city ordinance that all manure must be moved once a week, and 1t is chiefly in piles of garbage and refuse that the flies find their breeding places. Very rigid inspection will be made of all stables. and Dr. Harrington, county health officer. has stated that he will proceed to arrest any violaters of the law he may find without further pre- liminaries.
 It Is chiefly in the kitchen that the fly is dangerous, says Commissioner Hornady. Food is we'll protected by city ordinances before 1t enters the home, but once 1t is there the juris- diction of the city officials ends It is

YOUNG MEN GETTING READY FOR NEXT
 OFFICERS' CAMP
Meeting Will Be Held Tomorrow Night for the Final Enrolment
 Students

Enthusiasm increases at each meeting of the young men who have enrolled for preliminary coaching and training for the officers reserve camp. the final ex- aminations for which will be held on July 15. Sunday was an epochal day for the 2S who have enlisted under the tutor ship of Virgil ". Evans and G. Lewis Bailes, hike being taken from the, Tut wiler hotel to Munger field. where they were put through rigid drills for three hours.
 The next meeting will be held Wednes- day night at 7:30 o'clock, on the fourth floor of the Brown-Marx building, when the final enrolment of students will be allowed. MT. Evans and MT. Bailes, both served at Fort McPherson, and were sent home on account of injury, and will join the next camp. They are amply quali- fled to train the young men for their first examinations, and have received the in- dorsement of Lieutenant Wallis, examina- tion officer of the reserve corps, who is stationed here.
 Meetings will be held each Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights. and spe- cial stress is being laid upon the fact that any young man. 21 years of age and over, not necessarily 26 or 2S or 30. Is eligible to the officers training camp if he can pass the examination. And it is pointed out that the training and coach Ii ing received prior to entering the camp
 will be very beneficial.

SOIL PIPE MAKERS AID SUBCOMMITTEE Jobbing Trade Advised That No Minimum Cars Will
 Be Shipped

The Southern Soil Pipe association has issued letter to the jobbing trade in the interest of increased efficiency in car service in this district, the communica- ton being signed by Is corporations and firms, N. o. Nelson being president of the association and Morris w. Bush sec retary.
 The following extract from the letter Is very pertinent, and shows how the shippers are behind the subcommittee on car service, to increase efficiency
 Tn consideration of the patriotic duty that every citizen and manufac- turer owes to the country today to in- crease the efficiency of the trans portation lines, and also in order to serve more promptly and efficiently the buyers of soil pipe and fittings, the foundries whose names are signed be- low will consider on futures sales a minimum carload of soil pipe and fit- tings to be 5000 pounds By in- creasing the minimum from 5000 to 5000 pounds the efficiency of every car loaded will be increased by Cs 2-3 per cent and terminal space for hand liIlS lHlS tOIdLSo VIII De increased Tn efficiency by like percentage"
 Another communication that is being circulated broadcast is that from the Crossett Lumber company of Crossett. Ark, one of the largest lumber firms in the country. This letter says in part:
 As far as we are concerned, we have been and are willing to continue to cooperate to the limit in utilizing every available pound of capacity, and might state that our shipments for the last two months have averaged in feet about 27,000 B. M., and the average weight per car between 5S,000 and 60,000 pounds. Considering that quite large percentage of the equip ment furnished consisted of double deck sheep cars, the above is an ex- ceptionally large average. We arbi- trarily make an addition to every or der that does not specify maximum carload. If all the lumbermen were loading their cars 30 per cent above normal it would relieve the car sit- uation in the southwest considerably"

WANT MATURE MEN FOR TRAINING CAMP All Applications Must Be in Writing and Efficiency
 Only Test

Lieut.. John B. Wallis opened his offices in Birmingham and began to receive ap- plications for the second officers train flee that is occupied by the engineers corps, room 1924 of the Clarke building. He will receive applications until July 15, after which time the office will be closed and no applications received. He is being flooded with letters now, but is anxious that all applications be in as soon as possible.
 Lieutenant Wallis wants it emphasized that this camp is entirely a new camp and different from the other in every way The qualifications are in general the same as for the first camp. Men of good education and character with ex- perience in handling men are wanted. The men who are accepted from the camp will be given responsible positions. The junior officers will be taken from the National Guard and the regular army so those who enlist in these branches now will have good opportunity for rapid ad- vancement.
 Applications blank will be furnished all who wish to join. With the application must be returned a certificate of health lTOIA q TcpuldDlC PAy dllQ LILO names of three prominent people whom the officers can refer to for recommenda- tions. Any certificate of health will not do, but the regular examination pre- scribed by the application must be filled out. Any mistake made in filling out the application will be counted against the applicant, as the instructions are very clear and Lieutenant Wallis does not be- lieve that anyone who would misunder- stand the instructions would make a good officer. Applicants are not to ap- pear in person, but will make any com muncation in writing.
 The camp will start August 27, and all successful applicants will be notified about the first of August. The ones who apply will greatly exceed in number the ones who can be accepted, and those who are to be selected will be determined on by careful process of elimination and comparison. The whole aim of the of- ficers is to get the best men, and abso- lutely no discrimination will be used in pa ssing on the applicants.

on things that are eaten without cook ing. such as lettuce. berries and bread, that the flies become most dangerous, as cooking kills all germs. There are laws compelling all peddlers or stores that have exhibits of food to have their premises thoroughly screened or else to use electric fans in such way that flies cannot alight on the food. If all housewives would be care full to trade only with those merchants who comply with this law, the dam gers from the careless peddlers would be obviated.
 Commissioner Hornady says that no flies should be allowed near anyone, but that it Is doubly important that everything that comes near the baby be absolutely sterile. To allow flies aroundst the baby's mouth or eyes while 1t Is sleeping is criminally careless. Much contamination comes through using milk bottles that have been ex- posed to flies without washing the tops of the bottles.
 Everybody ought to get fly swat ter and use it." concluded the com missioner Whenever a fly enters my house the whole family arms itself and will not stop until that fly IS killed. The best and only way of eliminating the fly and doing away with much sickness and untold suffer- ing Is for everyone to organize him. self committee of one to wage un- teasing war on the pests until they are exterminated. When this is done much of the typhoid and intestinal diseases will be done away with, and Birmingham will become one of the healthiest cities in the United States"

 Well, you look old enough to know how dangerous it is for one to cross the street by cutting corners downtown, said Po- liceman Widemann, and if you are of any value to the Civic association I am doing them favor by keeping you out of danger"
 You. talk like a member of the Civic association" said Mir Butler. Are you?''
 No. not yet; but I hope to be some- day soon," said the policeman.
 That was all Frank wanted. Right onto the officer he landed and signed him up, following with three more officers who were asked to join by Officer Widemann This is only an instance of how the in- fantry work and how they are succeeding in the membership campaign.
 Today each division of the army of workers anticipate great gains, and 1t is question as to which one will take the II enches gained yesterday by the fierce firing of the artillerymen. The campaign will continue for five days, and at least 1000 more members will be added to the roster of the association before the cam palgn is over, the officers of the asso- citation believe.

The infantry and aviation forces
 of the Civic association were un-
 able to stand the fire of the artil-
 Iery forces yesterday, the first day
 of the campaign for new members
 to the Civic association, and the
 nrtillerymen lead the field with 7s
 new members and SIT collected as
 dues.
 The total round up for the first days work was 16S members and s179 collected, some new members paying dues in ad- vance.
 Col. John w. O'Neill commanded the winning battalion, his forces making 49 points against Col. M. s. Henderson who come second with 34 points. Col. J. A . Yates was third with 32 points.
 The first days work was more than satisfactory to the directors, in view of the fact that the Red Cross workers were still on the job Monday, and that the companies and regiments had to be lined up and organized yesterday morning be- fore starting out to canvass. The time of work is only two hours each morning, luncheon being served at the Civic asso- citation rooms at 12:15 promptly each day. when the report of all team commanders is heard.
 The pep and popularity with which the campaign Is characterized was illustrated yesterday morning when Frank Butler, hot on the train of a prospective new member, started walking across the street iptersecting First avenue and Twentieth street. James Widemann, traf- fic officer. on duty immediately halted him.
 'Whatdye mean, cutting the corners like that?" asked Officer Widemann.
