AN ENEMY OF THE HOUSEFLY
Crablikc Creature That Lives on the
Pest of Humanity.

To the naturalist or TO anyone ac-
customed to observe nature closely.
the fact is apparent that the problems
OF existence are proportionately the
same in every form or status of life,
Even the common housefly, which
seemingly has nothing else to do but
crawl lazily over whatever Is left un-
covered and then go happily on its
way, doing its best to bring about an
afiliation between the clean and the
unclean, occasionally meets its Neme-
sis in the form of tiny crablike crea-
ture which attaches itself to the fly's
legs.
These little creatures are known to
the scientists as pseudo scorpions, or
chelifers, says the Popular Science
Monthly. They may sometimes be
found between the leaves of old books
that have stood unused for n long
time, and also beneath the bark of
trees and in MOSES.
Altho they are called false scor-
pions. they resemble the true scorpion
closely in general structure except for
their minute size. But they have no
poison gland as true scorpions have
They attach themselves to other in
sects, also, but they seem to be the
special pest Of the houseflies Scien-
lists suppose that they seize the fly's
leg and hold on until the fly dies,
either worried or frightened to death
by the undesirable presence. When
the fly is dead the little creature feeds
on the body.

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 3, - A
number Of new recruiting stations
We're opened here today, following or
ders to bring all companies of the
national guard in oklahoma up TO
war strength as soon as possible. A
martial air pervaded the downtown
district all day when a bugler, accom-
panied by uniformed member of
the guard, went from one station to
another sounding military calls on his
buglc. At the office of Adjutant Gen
eral carp, members of the guard were
busy receiving applications for enlist
ment. After preliminary examina-
tion. men were sent to the armory
for further physical tests and to be
sworn into the service.
The navy recruiting stations are re-
ceiviuE the favors, preference seem
ingy being given the sea life by the
boys who want to enlist.
Three youths came in today from
Luther, near here, only 16 years old.
They were sent back for consent pa
pers. Mrs. Rose Reynolds quit her
work long enough today TO go to the
recruiting station with her l7-year-
old son to give her consent for his en-
listment Every effort is being made
to strengthen the oklahoma compa-
nies to their required capacity and
reports were received by Adjutant
General carp today from many points
in the state that enlisUnents were be-
ing made at a rapid rate.

TLOCKING TO THE COLORS.

The announcement of the presi-
dents recommendation that war be
declared has proved the signal for our
young men to shake off their seeming
Indifference and flock TO the colors of
the cnlisting officer. II is very prob
able that most Of them were waiting
to assure themselves that an actual
conflict was impending before they
made the sacrifice OF their civilian af'
fairs and tied themselves up I'm an OBJ
legation to military service. There had
been so many half reasonable doubt
ers among us to tell them that there
would be no war. that Wilson was
bluffing and would not meet the
have the courage to throw down the
gauge OF battle to our enemies, that
they had hesitatcd TO take the step.
Then there was the discouraglng re-
membrance of the trip to the Mexican
border and its humillating finale. 1t
was not for lack of patriotism, but
they did not feel like taking up the
country's burdens until assured that
the country needed them. Now that
the die is cast there will no longer be
reason to class them as "slackers."
Not only has the recruiting business
taken on a boom. but there is a no
ticeable diminution of the number OF
people who discredited all warliko
preparations and talked against war
for any cause Most OF them are now
cheering for the flag M loud as the
rest The American citizen loves to
shoot off his mouth and attract atten-
tion. even If to do so he has to take w
an argument that is contrary TO what
he really believes. Win rare eNcep-
ions the people who have been
preaching opposition to preparedness
wore at heart as loyal as the rest of
us. but were just indulging in the
American habit OF taking the other
side for the sake of argument There
are a few disloyal people, but they are
very few and they are getting timld
with all our boasts of free speech
there come times when we as n pco-
pie will not permit some forms of free
speech to find utterance. This Is one
Of those times. The day has arrived
when there is little distinction be-
