BUILDING GIANT FLY TRAPS
SchooIboys Make Device Which Will
Catch Half a Million Disease
Spreaders in Season.

Fly traps that will catch 100000, or
so quarts of flies in season will be
built this spring by some of the boys
in the Grand avenue manual train
ing center. Irving p. Lorentz, the in
structor, Is making model, and will
soon have some of the boys construct
ing the device as side line, accord
ing to the Milwaukee Journal.
A square framework is made of mar
row strips of wood, and within the
frame is placed cone of wire net
ting. In the model of Mr.. Lorentz an
ordinary glass jar is used in place of
the wooden frame. A banana peel or
similar refuse is placed as bait at
the bottom of the trap. When the
trap is crowded with flies, they can be
killed by dipping the filled trap into
boiling water.
1.-THE idea Is excellent" Mr.. Lorentz
said. 1.-THE construction Is simple, so
that seventh or eighth grade boys
should easily be able to make 1t. At
the same time 1t is inexpensive, the
cost of materials probably not exceed
ing so cents. If oil the centers encour-
aged the making of these traps, it
would prove most effective weapon
against the fly. Such trap would kill
off the flies before they even got into
the homes"
