Uhen It's "The Other Fellow. "

Have you noticed?
When the other fellow acts that
way. he is ''illtempered;" when you
do it, it's NERVES" When the other
fellow is set in his ways, he's "obstl-
nate" when you are, it is just firm
ness"
When the other fellow doesn't like
your friends, he's .prejudiced; when
you don't like his, you are simply
showing that you are a good judge
of human nature.
When the other fellow tries to
treat some one especially we'll, ne IS
toadying; when you try the same
thing, you are using tact.
When the other fellow takes time
to do things, he is dead slow; when
YOU do it you are deliberate.
When the other fellow spends
lot of money, he is a spendthrlft;
when you do, you are generous.
When the other fellow holds toe
tight to his money, he is close; when
you do, you are prudent.
When the other fellow dresses well
he's dandy; when you do, it IS SIM
ply a duty one owes to society.
Whom the other fellow runs great
risks in business, he is fool-hardy
when you do, you are a great flnan'
cier.
When the other fellow says what
he thinks, he is spiteful; when you
do, you are frank.
When the other fellow goes in tol
music and literature, ne is eliminate
when you do, you are artistic.-Se-

" this is not true of flies which are
ubiquitous pests. and agents for a
host of diseases such as typhoid few
er. cholera infantum, cholera, dysen-
tery, etc. Flies have the distinction
of being the flthiest form of insect
life. They breed in filth, principally
horse manure; and for the most part
feed on filth. The fly can swallow
only liquid food, and when it allghts
on food that is solid, such as bread,
it regurtitates a germ laden fluid
from the stomach which dissolves the
morsel. Its intestinal canal is the
constant abode of innumerable deadly
bacteria, and by swallowing single
fly speck one may contract any one
of the diseases mentioned above. Es-
pecially is the fly "a menace to infant
life. A baby cannot protect itself and
a single fly by crawling and deposit
ing it's germs over the baby's mouth
may cause it's death. The body of the
flv is covered with hairs which, under
the microscope, appear as horns on a
ferocious beast. Bacteria adherent
to the hairs appear as grains Of sand.
It has been accurately computed that
single fly may have as many as one
million germs on the outside of It's
body, and as many more on the IN
side. Knowing this one not only un-
derstands why it is such deadly an
imal but marvels that so many of us
escape its tolls.
There are two kinds of flies which
carry disease. One is the common
house fly lmusco domestica), the
other is the blow fly or meat fly (cal-
liphora erythrocephalay. The former
breeds in horse manure, the latter in
decaying meat. Both multiply very
rapidly. A female will lay during the
summer four or five patches of eggs,

Fiashless Gun
Powder to Be
Tested by L. S. Army

Washington, Oct 4-(By the ASso-
ciated Press -Flashless gun pow
der, making possible night firing
without illumination, one of the re-
cent developments of the army ord
nance corps, will be demonstrated
Friday at the third annual meeting
at the Aberdeen, Md, proving
grounds.
Since the invention and use Of
smok eless powder, which eliminated
the locating of guns in daylight,
ordnance experts have been working
to prevent similar sporting at
night.
This has been accomplished by
introducing substances into the pow
der which, when the gun is fired are
voatiliZed diluting and cooling the
hot infiammable gasses. Ordinarily
these gases burst into brilliant
flames when they meet the air. Salt
and chloride of potash, it is said, are
two substances used, to eliminate
the the flash. 1t also has been
demonstrated that the report is APP
preciably lessened with fashless
charges.
Other features of the Friday pro-
gram include the firing of the "heav-
lest single unit of ordnance in the
world" the recently perfected 16-
inch, 0-calibre gun, mounted on a
disappearing carriage. The gun
measures 69-feet in length, weighs
100000 pounds and requires $50
pounds of smokeless powder to pro-
pei its 2400 pound projectile APP
proXimately - miles. Although the
gun and its mount weighs nearly 500
tons it can be rotated through $50
degrees by one man and elevated or
depressed so degrees by another
while it is operative at the rate Of
one shot per minute, special equip
ment also permitting the manipula-
tons Of the piece by electricity.
Another rife of the same type has
been mounted on a. Barbette car
riage, permitting an elevation Of IS
degrees, and is expected to have
greater rancg than any ~un now
carried by naval craft.
