DEPARTMENT PLANS
TO SELL MANY OLD

A bargain sale" of obsolete naval
vessels. including battleships and de-
stroyers, may be held by the Navy
Department soon, it was indicated yes
terday. A study is being made of
various ways OF getting rid OF a large
number OF useless war craft. il was
said and it was indicated that the ex-
ample of Great Britain might be fol-
lowed in selling useless ships to be
broken up for junk.
There are II battleships and as
many destroyers now carried on the
second line" list. and officers say
that more than half OF the former
should be disposed of.
Included in the second line" is the
famous old battleship Oregon. but il
is doubtful if the department will
order ii scrapped because of senti-
mental consideration.
In addition to these 81 old battle
! ships. the Navy Department has al
ready taken steps TO dispose of -four
other vessels. The Indiana was sunk
by placed bombs and big-gun fire. the
Massachusetts, became a target for the
guns of the coast defense batteries in
Florida. the Idaho is being used fol

stined to take a prominent part i'll the
coming bombing tests, and the Kear

Il TO WORK NOW TO
FIGHT AGAINST FLIES
Destroy Breeding Places Of The
Worlds Greatest Disease And
Death Carriers
is A HEALTH SAFEGUARD

Word has gone forth 10 swat the
fly. II seems to be necessary TO re-
peat IL year after year. despite the
thoroughness with which the lesson
was taught some years ago that flies
are disease carriers and that every
fly killed early in the season is an
investment in safety.
The flies that buzz now are the pro-
creators OF the countless progeny OF
midsummer. Scientific statisticians
have told the enormous number OF flies
that may be bred from a single pair
In one season. so that fly that is
effectively swatted now means much
more than many times the swatting
OF July or August.
Keep swatting the fly. but at the
same time clean up the breeding places
OF the insect" was the recent mes
sage OF the Health officer of the Dis
trict OF Columbia to the children anC
housewives OF Washington.
Flies breed chiefly in trash. waste
stun. usually in the dark. neglected
corners where refuse is thrown ant
allowed to lie. So in addition to swat
ting all the flies that can be seen ant
reached householders should clean III
these places and burn the trash
Every cellar should be secured ant
whitewashed. and every bit of refuse
destroyed This alone will cut dowI
the fly population by a great percent
age.
Keep the garbage pail covered
tightly and do not let trash contain
ing bits of food or grease remain I'M
covered in the yard.
do not leave particles of waste
food exposed about the kitchen. Keel
the top OF the cupboard clean"
In carrying out these suggestion
do not forget 10 keep swatting, tn
health officer reminds
fly signifies neglect somewhere b.
some one. Let the securing brush an'
shovel and the swatter be put to worl
at once.

they will reach the acme of individual

Education OF Enlisted Men
This address was followed by Lieut.
Commander Theodore w. Johnson. whit
spoke on 1.-THE New Educational Pro
gram for Enlisted Men in the Navy
He said there are trade schools fol
every employment relating to nava
work and many men have gottei
technical training in this way. Blu
me great problem is the lack of /;
general education found in the youns
men now enlisting. Secretary Daniels
endeavored to solve this problem b,
issuing "Order No. 63," which pro
yided for the compulsory attendance
IN classes on shipboard of all enlisted
men. The order was found imprac
,icable and unpopular. Now. with tn
voluntary attendance plan, an en-
couraging number of men seize tn
opportunity of learning, the percent
age on the Tennessee. for example
being 500 out of total of 400 men
The method of instruction is largel
that of a correspondence school. Ii i
believed that the lack of education
has been the cause of so many deser
tons. Now the government has al
efficient school system on at least 81,
of our ships and on the whole de
stroyer fleet in reserve.
