WAR ON SCREW-WORM FLIES
Of Getting Rid of Human and
Animal Pests

The use of flytraps for catching
screw-wOrm flies is new Idea as a
means of combating those abOminable
insects, and has already proved de
cidedly effective They are a first
class pest I'm some parts Of this country.
and especially in southwest Texas.
Cattle and other livestock suffer
much from their attacks, their habit
being TO lay eggs in any sort of wound.
The larvae Matched from the eggs
bore into the tissues. feeding upon
them and doing most destructive mis-
chief When ready to transform into
pupae, they come out drop TO the
ground and bury themselves 10 await
metamorphosis into flies. The screw
worm flies are typical meat flies. and
the carcass of any dead animal quickly
becomes hatchery for them. Hence,
in the region afflicted by them. it
is very important that all cascasses
shall be promptly destroyed, preferably
by burning. Occasionally 1t happens
that human beings are attacked.
A fly crawls up the nOstrils of sleep
ing person and lays its eggs. The
larvae Matched from them invade the
sinuses, and death is likely to result.

SQUIRRELS and Robins Fight.

A fierce lawn battle between forces
of squirrels and robins has been
observed in Mount Vernon, n. Y. The
squirrels and robins on Eleventh
avenue, Mount Vernon, have declared
war upon each other and each day the
battles are wageing bigger and fiercer.
Residents on Eleventh avenue have for
some time thrown peanuts on their
lawns for the squirrels and bread
crusts for the birds of the neighbOr
hood. Three weeks ago a few robins
after eating the bread helped them
selves TO peanuts, and the squirrels
ran away. The first day a few SPUR
rels attacked the robins and there
was a short but furious fight in which
the squirrels saved their suppers. The
second day about twenty robins
swooped down and the squirrels were
routed. The third day the squirrels
returned reinforced by an equal num-
Der and there was battle royal for
a quarter OF an hour. 1t was a drawn
battle. both sides leaving most of their
peanuts and .crusts on the field

stock OF pretty neckwear plays
an important part lin any woman's
wardrobe, but more so in that of the
girl at boarding school or college,
whose clothes are more simple than
those of her debutante sister. Conse-
quently they require the small touches
which metamorphose a frock or suit
and give the appearance of more
changes of dress than one actually
has.
Sweaters more than any other ar
ticle Of dress have done a great deal
for neckwear. About a year and a
half ago all of the best dressmakers
featured the lingerie neck finish. and
much was said and written about it
as being the return Of a well-liked but
for time neglected fashion which
would be joyfully accepted by all
women.
This was not verified While every
body knows that a touch of white at
the neck makes a gown more becom-
ing and woman appear more
youthful. for some reason the plain.
cOllarless neck has been preferred.
1t is the tailored suit and the
sweater that keep the neckwear bust
ness thriving. The wearing Of one
piece dresses for such long time
was rather n severe blow TO this
dainty detail OF dress. The recent re-
vival of tailored suits. especially those
with the open front requiring n hand

except, perhaps, when victory seems

to look into their meaning. Let me
ask you, yes or no, does social re-
volution have a political side to it?
II you want the world to "change its
basis Of life," is that change which
affects the organized society, the
"polis" or community-in short, part
ly political change!
What ridiculous contradiction Of
terms for revolutionists to cry mo
politics!" This position is so clearly
absurd that It can be turned right
against them. "No politics in the
labor unions" can mean only one
thing-that the union confines itself
strictly to trade questions--which, in
my opinion, is its proper field, for
the simple reason that 1t is an in
dustrial group, composed Of people
who have the same trade, but not ne
cessarily the same opinions.

the Communists for admitting bour-
geois intellectuals, on the ground that

criticism Is a Bit simpleminded. Let

The white fronted gentlemen that

little pity. Self-interest does not allow
for sympathy. Now if there is another
war that's different. More
profits for the profiteer. More misery
and poverty for the fighting work
ers. One profiteer's heart was touched
