BIG CAMPAIGN STARTED
TO EXTERMINATE FLIES
Last Week of April Named by Com
mittee for Onslaught Upon Com
monest Disease Carriers

An aggressive campaign to stamp out
flies or at least greatly reduce their num-
bers was mapped out today at meeting
of the cooperative committee on fly ex-
termination at the Chamber of Commerce.
The last week in April was named as Fly
determination Week and plans have been
made to interest all residents of the city
and make them realize the serious ills which
Or be traced to the fly.
Striking exhibits are being made to show
that disease and death follow the paths
of these pests. The exhibits will be dis
played in the windows of many of the large
stores, Strawbridge & C,othier and John
wanamaker have already offered several
windows for these displays
John A. Vogelson, chief of the Bureau of
Health, said that 30 per cent of the flies
were bred in stables. He urged a most
rigid campaign in this direction to elm
lrate or reduce the pests in these places
volunteer force Of $50 inspectors will
investigate the 1000 stables in Philadelphia
and impress upon the proprietors the ne
cessity of cleanliness to aid in the work.
About 150 inspectors will be required for
this work and up to the present time more
than half of the volunteer inspectors have
been obtained.
Boy Scouts will also give valuable aid in
the work. During Fly determination Week
hundreds of scouts will sell fly traps and
fly swatters on commission. The amount
carried by each scout will be turned into
the treasury of the organization.
Reports by many of those who attended
the meeting shows that the committee has
made great headway in subduing the pests.
1t was decided to send letters to the
principals of all public schools and repre-
sentatives of business and improvement or
ganizations in order to enlist their aid
in the campaign.

FEARS RECETvERSHIP
FOR MANY RAIL LINES
George D. Dixon, of P. R. R., De
clares Everything but Trans
portation Is on War Basis

Unless the railroads are permitted to ad-
vance freight rates the list of railroads In
the hands of receivers will be augmented
before the close of the year. This statement
was made today by George ID. Dixon. vice
president in charge Of traffic of the Penn
sylyania Railroad. In answer to letter
which was sent by the trustees of the Utili-
ties Bureau TO President Wilson yesterday
proposing delay in the application of the
railroads for an increase in freight rates.
Mr.. Dixon points out to some extent the
increased expenses that the railroads are
forced TO meet
I'm the last two years. he says. "the
prices of everything, from raw materials
to wages that enters into the cost of trans
portation, has enormously advanced The
price received by the railroads for giving
the service has about stood still Trans
portation Is today the only commodity of
great Importance that is being sold on a
peace basis in this country, and the rail-
roads are paying war prices for everything
they buy.
"In ofiler lines of business the sellers
have been able to meet the situation by
advancing their own prices, but this eco-
nomcally correct step has not been pos
sible TO the railroads II has been neces-
sary for them 10 continue rendering services
at the old rates while costs were continually
mounting. until now the danger point is
at hand.
THE IS per cent advance In rates for
which the railroads have asked. instead Of
being excessive, will only partly meet the
increased costs"
