Those who persist in violating the
ordinance regarding traffic on the

quarter from Mayor Hopkins in fu
ture, as il the occasion demands it
he will give sIch violators the very
limit, so he stated to representa-
tive of the Ncws last night
For many months the mayor has
been worried by constant violations
of this important law, and he has
reached the point where patience
ceases to be virtue, and those who
are called Before him in the future
may expect the heaviest fine the law
allows.
Quite a number have been crippled
and others have lost their lives as
4 result of "automobiling, and the
mayor thinks there is no reason why
this should be slowed to continue
He sees no reason why any person
would endanger the lives of others
by reckless driving. and at the pace
that kills"
Notwithstanding the fact that the
mayor has fined some very heavily
many still persist in violating this
law, and the mayor has reached the
plaqG where he says he won't stand
for II anotirer day, and the average
citizen sanctions his idea.

Life of the House Fly.

The average life of 5000 Gagged
house flies has been found by r.
H. Hutchinson and others to be-
slightly more than nineteen days,
the greatest age noted having been
seventy days. Egg-laying usually
begins in four or five days after
the emergence Of the adult fly, but
sometimes in two and half days.
This period is greatly influenced
by temperature, but also by humi-
dity and the kind and quality OF
the food of both larvae and adults.
