TO KEEP OFF FLIES

The Importance of taking steps to
prevent the breeding of stable flies
rather than depending on protection
of the stock, when the flies are full
grown, can not be emphasized too
much. However, where this is not
done the farmer is forced to resort
to various means of warding off the
flies.
Work animals may be protected
largely from the pest by means of
coverings. One type Of covering which
has been found to be very effective
and inexpesive consists of a blanket
made of double thickness of burlap,
so arranged as to cover completely the
back, sides, and neck of the animal.
The legs also are covered sometimes
by means of old trousers slipped over
the feet and tied over the back. Leath-
er nets or strips Of leather attached
to the bride also aid in keeping the
flies from the head. The ordinary fly
net has been found to be of little
value, as it only tends to displace the
flies temporarily and cause them to
settle in places not covered by the net.
Completely darkened stables offer
much protection from the flies, al
though the resulting lack of ventila-
ton is Objectionable. The thorough
screening of all windows and doors Is
much more desirable. When screened
barns are used, care should be taken
to brush the flies from the animals,
when they are about to enter, by
means of nets over the doorway or
with sacks Little can be done to pro
tect range stock from the flies.
On hog farms freshly plowed
trench offers considerable perfection
to the swine The sides Of these
trenches may be smeared with petr0-
leum, which rubs off on the animals
and acts as repellent The trench
may be used also for protecting sheep,
but the petroleum. in their case is
unnecessary.

LITTLE BROTHER GROWS UP

American industry the motor truck,
now hurrying about city streets and
country roads carrying our food and
our dry goods, our building material
and our playthings, in single loads big
enough to fill a small house. He isn't
yet the Big Brother of the Railroads,
but he bids fair soon to be. And
while our railroads have remained a
problem, he has grown from hope
into an invaluable public servant
The motor truck was hope as early
as the time Of the great pre-war freight
congestions on the Atlantic seaboard,
but il passed that stage during the re-
cent railroad strike, when it saved
many Of the big cities from starvation.
Between 25,00O and $4,000 trucks
were used in emergency service dur
ing the recent tie-up. In New York
City alone more than 5000 trucks were
employed in handling freight ordi-
narily carried by the railroads. Many

URGE DISABILITY TEST.
New Republican Plans for Decid-
ing Incapacity of President
Not Intended for Wilson"

Washington, Feb la-Two propos-
ais for defining disability on the part Of
a President of the United States were
introduced in the House of Representa-
tives yesterday. They were developments
of the long illness OF President Wilson,
but it was declared that they were not
aimed at him
One of the proposals was resolution
offered by Representative Fess of Ohio,
chairman OF the Republican Congress
sional Committee, for constitutional
amendment by which the Supreme Court
would decide whether or not the Presi-
dent was incapacitated 10 perform his
duties. Under this amendment the court
would act upon the request of Congress,
which might be convened by the Vice
President to pass a specific concurrent
resolution for that purpose.
The other proposal was made by Rep
resentative Rogers, Republican, of Mas
who presented a bill pro-
viding that the Supreme Court, on the
request of the Senate or House. should
should decide when President was inca
pacitated and when the disability was re-
moved in which event he would resume
the executive functions.

obstetrics Win by Margin of
20 to % in One of the Best
Contests of Season.

The Chester High School basketball
speed boys came through with 29-2S
victory against the local Salcsianum
passers at the Chester Y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasium yesterday afternoon after
one of the most exciting games ever played
by either team, The contest was nip
and tuck from the first sounding of the
rciorce's whistle until the final blow of
the time keeper, for at no part of the
game was there margin exceeding 4
points between the two combinations.
The Chcstorites succeeded in obtaining
a four point lead against the locals before
The latter could get a start, Lentz making
good on as many attempts from the foul
line, but the Gold and White passors
came back strong and soon overcame
this lead
But the Pcnnsylvanians would not be
held down, and at the end Of the first
period, the score stood at lA-i4
The second half continued in the same
manner, when with FIVE minutes more
Go be played. the West street lads were
on the long end of a 25-2f score. Here
upon the Chester boys made squirt,
Bentz caging a two-counter. followed by a
free toss from the l5-foot mark. Things
already looked blue for the local basketers,
and then Buono dropped in another
making the score 20 TO 25. With but one
minute 20 play, Lowell counted one from
thel ptnaity mark, and Immediately fol-
lowed this up with a 2-pointer from
difficult angle, putting the score at 1928.
Only % seconds yet remained; and the
Gold and White chances Frightened,
but 10 was too late. The timer whistle
blew with the final score as stated above.
Although the locals came out on the
Ghnrf fard a. tho tha4f had fhnfv
chance 10 VIII but failed, through their
poor foul shooting, Is free toSses being
missed out Of possible %. This was the
poorest showing the Gold and White
foul tossers have put up since the West
Chester High game, the only other defeat
marked against them this season, when
they threw the game to the winds in hike
manner, they only having made good on
out OF D attempts from the penalty
mark on that occasion.
In addition the Chester floor was the
smallest on which the locals have PLAYED
this season, and they could not put up as
good showing IN the passing" line as
they usually do Nevertheless several
Chester followers made ereditable re-
marks on the clever fOorwork of the West
