srNNpING OF TIE CLUES
POISONS FOR FLIES

The most successful method Of rid
ding community Of flies is to insti-
tute a Continued campaign for that
purpose. lt is only by the united ef-
forts of all residents supported by the
health department and civic organiza-
tons in general that real progress il
fly eradication Is possible. But single
families can do much to keep their
own homes free from flies, even if
their neighbors are not so careful.
Fly poisons and fly papers kill hun
bred of flies, but should not be used
where other effective methods, such as
adequate screening Of the house, are
available, as they are very unsightly,
and the use Of poisors in households
is always attended with considerable
danger, especially in families where
there are children.
Where flies have gained access to
the house in such numbers that they
cannot all be killed by "swatting" and
p fly trap cannot be obtained, a fly
poison may be used if great care is
taken 20 put it out Of the reach Of the
pmaller members Of the household, but
too much cannot be said against the
use at any time of these compounds
that contain arsenic. Fatal cases Of
she poisoning of children through the
use of such compounds are far too
frepuent. and since the symptoms of

the small degree Of selectivity OBJ

should be diluted with about forty
parts Of water ard placed in sa.. ers
about the room, at the same time re-
moving all other liquid. After being
denied all fluid for several hours the
flies will drink the formalin solution
and die. but the success of the plan is
dependent upon the complete removal
of other liquids. The dilution of the
formalin may be made with milk in
stead of with water, and a piece of
bread may be placed in the saucer OH
which the flies may alight. The
United States Public Health Service
recommends ! per cent solution Of
sodium salicylate as almost equally
effective. This is prepared by dis
solving three teaspoonfuls of the pure
chemical n a pint OF water, some

All the available standing room
was occupied last night at the Post
Office alleys. when the opening
match of the season of the Wash
ington Ladies' Duckpin League was
rolled. ColumbianS and Sales Tax
were the contestants and the former
won two of the three games. Hearty
roofing by spectators made the con-
testants nervous at the start. The
Columbians recovered and romped
away with the last two games. Miss
Nell of the winners had the best
set, 176, and also the high game, 113.
The Columbians last season bowl
ed as the Treasury team. but as only
two of the team members this year
are from that department, it was de-
cided to change the quint's name.
Tonight,s games should be inter-
esting, as the Post Office Department
and Billie's Team clash. No one ap-
pears to know the line up Billie
Williams will have, but as she gen.

CINCINNATI GRID COACH
GIVES G. j. TEAM 0. 0.

An interested spectator at the
eorgetown-Lebanon Valley foot ball
game Saturday was George McLaren,
former Pittsburgh star, now coaching
the University of Cincinnati, which is
to face the Hilltoppers at American
League Park this week end. The ex-
Pitt player, who was a popular choice
for all-American fullback, after
watching Georgetown in action,
seemed rather confident that his
charges would give the locals sturdy
battle if not defeat According to
McLaren, Cincinnati was unable to
put In its best team in the field and
it was overwhelmed by the Panthers,
but much stronger aggregation will
be sent here.
Coach Exendine was anything but
pleased by the performance of the
Hilltoppers against Lebanon Valley.
After driving them through a strenu-
Gus practice yesterday. he Summarized
Georgetown's play as an exhibition of
slowness. lack of generalship poor
passing and continual infraction of
rules. Now twenty-five players have
been assigned to the first team squad
and the remainder of the men sent
to the scrubs. who will be coached by
John O'Reilly. Varsity and scrubs
Will ScTlIn1ndSe edCn week during the
season.
The varsity also will be sent against
the freshman team every Wednesday
afternoon. This outfit is being coach
ed by Jack Maloney. former Hilltop
star. 1t includes a number of play
ers who built up enviable gridiron
regulations during their high and
prep school careers.
University of MaryIand's squad was
the only other member of the local
group that took the field, despite the
rain. The College Parkers were glad
of the opportunity to practice with a
wet ball. They went into many
games last fall when preliminary
work with dampened pigskin would
have helped them considerably. The
men yesterday did not find it diff
cult to hold the heavy ball.
Coach Doo1ey gave his Catholic
University charges ckboard lee
ture, but will send them through
some hard field drills during the re-
mainder of the week. George Wash
ington also worked indoors, as did

VIRGINIA ELATED WITH
SHOWING At PRINCETON

CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. October
10.-virginia's eleven, which was
given a rousing welcome by the stu
dents upon the return from Prince
ton. where they held the TIGERS to a
field goal and safety, has begun prep
arations to meet University of Rich
mond Saturday and Virginia Military
Institute a week later. 1t is realized
that just as Virginia went north pre-
pared to stop Princeton. both Spiders
and Cadets are laying for the Orange
and Blue.
Princeton's five points were gained
under such circumstances that Vir-
ginia is able to regard the score
against her as not a total defeat. In
the first half the Orange and Rlue
line outplayed the Tigers on both Of
fense and defense, gaining much
ground and standing fast in tight
places.
But Coaches Campbell and Able,
though much pleased over the show
ing made up north. have warned the
eleven against placing too much con-
fidence in their ability to keep Up the
stride struck Saturday.
