TO SWAT THE FLY
Every Fly Your Swatter Misses Will
l,e Craddaddy of 10,000,000
Flies In Summer.
CS,ar Service Health Hints).

(Siar Service Health Hints).
NEW YORK, April 2.--In recent
phcioplay, Douglas Fairbanks, with
the aid of camera trickery, walks
on the ceiling just like fly.
The feat recalled a former long
discussion as to what really enabled
flies to walk on a ceiling. II used
e. be the theory that they owed
u. cir ability to perform the feat to
each of their feet being small air
pump.
Then someone came along and
knocked this theory galley-west and
folk said it was by means of a
sticky substance which came from
the hairs Of their feet.
Then DR.. RombOutS proved that
they hang on by the aid of capillary
adhesion-that attraction between
solid and liquid bodies. In fact, it
was proved the attraction was so
great that a fly could hang if it were
nearly five ninths again as heavy as
il is.
As each fly is supposed to have
from 5000 to 1000 foothairs, so it
is fair to assume each hair is very
Tinuie.
Flies find it difficult to mount a
glass surface that is damp, because
of the repulsion between the watery
surface and the oily substance.
When a fly makes its toilet, it is
not doing so to look nice for leap
year or anything like that, but real
" that it might adhere more easily.
(ThatS the best time to swat 'em) {.

Two policemen were wounded in

The belief which the police say

thoritieS to be responsible for the
trouble, which started in Druid Hill
avenue, a thoroughfare largely pop
ulated by Negroes. An exchange of
greetings between a white dentist
and another white man, according
to the police, inspired a crowd of
Negroes with the belief that the
dentist and his friend were looking
for prey for the diSsecting table
and they started to beat the two
whites. Two policemen in plain
clothes arrested one of the Negroes,
whose friends succeed in releasing
the prisoner. The plainclotheSmen

BOTTOM LANDS THREATENED
Arkansas River Rose Nine Feet Dur
ing Last Week.

The effect of the spring melting
in the distant Rockies where the Ar
kansas River has its source and of
the recent cloud bursts in Kansas,
was shown here last week by the
rapid rise of the Arkansas River.
Barely ten days ago the mighty
sand bars under the Frisco and Mid
land r. r. bridges made it appe II
like one could easily wade across
the stream, but not today. The rise
has threatened to overflow the low
lands along the banks and thus in
iure many farms already plowed
and planted for the crop season.
Tulsa county Negro farmers in
iown last Wednesday said they did
not believe the river would rise
much higher, and that they did not
fear losses on account of overflow.
