Sir-As I understand it. the popular
misconception of Darwin's theory is
that one discussed in your column,
namely, that man is descended from
the ape According to sOcio1ogists.
what Darwin really said was that man
and the ape had a common genetic
origin. J. S.
There is, of course. a considerable
distinction there However. the thing
that surprises us is that the popular
conception of what Darwin said is so
nearly what he did say.
We have listened to popular report a
long time. 1t seems to us we never
knew it to be so nearly correct.

Now that may seem like quite

average family to dwell within with
every comfort, and the cost will be

TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT
AIDED BY PUBLICITY
Inspired More Faith in Safety of
Foods From Cows.
Statistics Show That Number of An

sumption of Milk 10 Much
Greater Than Ever Before.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
When extensive campaigns against
tuberculosis of cattle were launched
many persons interested in the dairy
business predicted that giving public
ity to such conditions would alarm the
consumer and reduce the consumption
Of milk and dairy products. But in
stead of producing this result says the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, the increasing efforts to improve
the health of herds have inspired more
faith in the safety and value Of foods
from the dairy cow. Hundreds Of
towns have made tuberculosis regu-
lations to provide for clean herds and
to make milk wholesome and publicity
has been given to the various kinds of
work done by cities, counties, states,
and the Department Of Agriculture.
AS result Of this work to improve
the health of the dairy COW, statistics
show that the number of cows has
increased and the consumption of milk
Is greater than ever before.
In recent months the most encour-
aging development. in the work Of
graduating this great cattle disease
has been the number of counties that
have made complete cleanup Of the
herds on every farm. This area work
is demonstrating that complete eradi-
cation is not dream hut a practical

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Fiy-traps have distinct place in the
control of the house fly and other
n0xious fly species, although the lin
itatiens of fly-traps must be recog-
aized and other methods Of control
also practiced. The bureau Of ento-
moIogy, United States Department Of
Agriculture, points out that the logical
method Of fly control is to prevent
multiplication, by proper attention to
breeding places.
The two main ways in which fly
traps are valuable are by catching
flies that come to clean premises from
insanitary places and by capturing
flies that have escaped from other
means of destruction. Nearly all fly
traps are made on the same general
principle, although they may appear
quite different. The flies are attracted
by bait, doors, or light into cage
with large entrance and an exit too
small to be easily found. which is
often made by using a cone-shaped
passage.
Two Chief Classes of Flies.
There are two chief classes of flies
that can be caught in traps-those
that breed in animal matter or become
breed in vegetable as well as in animal
matter The former consist mainly of
the so-called blow-fies, including the
screw-worm fly; in the latter group
the house fly is by far the most i'm
portant 1t is attracted to almost any
moist material, especially that having
an 0dor.
The general principle involved in
nearly all fiy-traps is modified to fit
different conditions as in the window
trap, which catches the flies as they
endeavor to enter or leave building
The garbage can trap, and the manure
box trap, which retains flies bred from
infested manure already in the box.
Light is an important factor in the
success of all traps, for flies have
marked tendency to go toward the
light.
While many commercial traps are on
the market, anyone with a few tools
can construct traps at small frac-
ton of the sale price Of ready-made
ones. The conical hoop trap, which
appears from extensive tests to be
most effective, durable, easily made,
and repaired, can also be made quite
cheaply. 1t consists of screen cylin-
der with barrel-hoop frame contain
ing screen cone inside. The total

on the proposition right away. What
we wish Is hall that will accommo-
date 1000 or 5000 persons. In Chi
cago, last fall we made a mistake by
holding a tournament in hall that
could not accommodate half as many
as wished to see the games. That q
worlds championship tournament will
be at least as much Of an attraction
in New York as the last one was In
Chicago is reasonable conclusion.
"An 1871 tournament Is under CON
sideration. If one can be arranged It
will be held in January or February.
1t is a game in which Hoppe and
Horemans are masterful and there Is
no doubt that Schaefer and Cochran.

their strokes to it. Schaefer is au-

Excitement Adds 10 weiaht strain.

To insure margin Of safety, a
grandstand designed to accommodate
$4,000 people weighing approximately
$50 tons, must be strong enough to
support weight of at least LOO tons.
The reason for this is that when peo-
pie are excited and jump about they
weigh twice as much as when sitting
still. A man crouching adds about
65 per cent to his weight In suddenly
Strengthening himself up; rising from
a sitting position adds about 80 per
cent, and it Is possible, by rising with
sudden jerk, to momentarlly add
over $50 per cent of the strain of ones
weight. AS people on grandstand
witnessing games, or other exciting
spectacles, cannot be relied upon to
sit still, the stand must be prepared
to bear double their weight, thus al
lowing every person to rise or sway
in excitement without causing the
structure to collapse.

A mixture Of cheap "black-strap" mo-

parts water. Sugar-beet or "stock

cost of the material, If bought new at
retail prices, is about 81. If only wire
and tacks are bought the cost should
not exceed 80 cents.
A modification of this trap that can
be made more quickly and with fewer
tools is suggested. The tent trap Is
not considered as effective as the
conical type. Any good trap may be
used over manure box, which must
have hole cut in the top. The tap
Is fitted closely over this hole to catch
flies bred in the manure.
A Trap for the Window.
A type Of modified tent trap may
be used in a window. 1t is adaptable
also to barns and buildings where

that properly baited traps to catch

first time they ever met was
some seven years ago in the

peddled his papers he made it
his business to get acquainted
with New York boxers going in

time after he began fighting and,

The Ordway new era., 1922-10-20
ORDWAY ROCKY FORD PLAYS
NOTHING TO NOTHING GAME
BY r. F. b.

Last Friday Ordway and Rocky
Ford came together on THE local
eridiron and they fought to tie. II
was an ideal day for the game and
both teams were in their best of
condition Rocky Ford kicked off
and ordway made but short gains
through line plunges. Both teams
battled hard trying to- make their
downs.
Most OF the game was in the CEN
ter of the field At one time in the
second quarter Rocky Ford was on
ordway's 20 yard line and tried for
place kick but was blocked by
ordway. Then Ordway went down
the field and was on the Is yard line.
1t looked good for touchdown. but
the boys were unsble TO make their
gains. II was an exciting game from
start to finish as both teams were
about equal. with Rocky Ford little
the best in weight.
In the last quarter ii looked bad
for Ordway when Rocky Ford's quar-
ter back made an end run and was
only one yard from the goal line. 1t
vas then when the Ordway boys
showed fight. The line set down like
rock wall and would not give an
inch. Rocky Ford had four downs
TO make one yard. They tried q
short end run but did not gain an
inch. They tried another but could
make nothing. They started Jn-
other play but fumbled. Everybody
held their breath as both teams were
in heap. But one of Rocky Ford's
men had the ball. They tried an
other but failed. Then the big scare
was over as ordway punted and 1t
was safe once more. From then on
it was battle until the final whistle
blew.
While Rocky Ford was only one
yard from their goal their coach re-
marked that il his men did not make
touchdown that he would catch a
Missouri Pacific train and go east.
But we hear that he Is still in Rocky
Ford and they say that he was rather
surprised to see Ordway turn out
such good team.
