City Begins Campaign Soon to Deal Death To Death Dealing Flies

Birmingham big anti-fly cam paign will begin next week when 50.0o0 fly swatters just received by the board of health will be distrib- uted to every home in the city. pr. Bowling stated yesterday that the last shipment of swatters had ar rived, together with cartoon pos ter depicting the life of the fly and the havoc he usually wrought in the home.
 Boy scouts will begin next Monday deliverin- the swatters to the homes and will also present each housewife with this instructive poster.
 The poster depicts the life of fly that is allowed to-roam at will among the filth and garbage and then comes into the home. where he attacks an infant who later dies; the fly then makes a deposit of eggs. which leaves 1,0e0,0 ,0o0 descendants.
 The other side of the poster shows another fly that attacks sanitary gar bage can and toilets. is barred from the home by screens and is warded off the baby by a mosquito bar; Is then caught in a flytrap. and passes to the beyond without leaving pos terity to prey on human beings.
 The poster also bears the following inscriptions: One fly can carry enough germs to kill you-this may be the one. Destroy their breeding places. Do not grow flies for your neighbor. Destroy their breeding places"

SLAYER OF COUPLE ATENSLEY IN 1921
 ESCAPES ASYLUM
Murder Charges Against CrenshaW Not Affected by Insanity Plea Which Con-
 fined Him

After five months in the Bryce hospital, where he was committed by court orders on his plea of insanity, Edward Crenshaw. alleged slayer of Mrs. Rebecca Weston, and her hus- band, Harry Weston, at Ensley, in 1921, escaped Sunday night. Infor- nation to this effect was contained In a telegram received yesterday from pr. W. D. Partlow, superin- tendent of the Bryce hospital.
 Crenshaw is said to have slain the couple because Mrs. Weston. his for mer sweetheart. had rejected him. Following his arrest on two charges of first degree murder, he entered a plea of not guilty by reason of in- sanity On November II, 1921, Dr. H S Ward and Dr. B, L. Wyman, as experts, were appointed by fudge William k. Fort to examine the mans mental condition.
 In a lengthy report filed January 24 with Judge Fort, the physicians gave as their opinions that Crenshaw was insane. A jury was empanelled and also held that Crenshaw was mentally unbalanced.
 Judge Fort then ordered the pris- oner transferred to the asylum and he was accordingly committed Jan uary 25. The charges against him were mol pressed but it was provided that he was to be returned to the sheriff of Jefferson county for trial upon recovery.
 In the telegram received by Judge Fort no details were given except the fact that he escaped Sunday night Provided he is rearrested and is proven to be of sound mind. he must still face the criminal charges which are pending against him.

 Tho other four city commission CTS are said to have agreed to tho appointment. of R. &. Munger, but baked at placing the other man on the board. CommV ssioner Harrison insisted that R. R, Moore, president of the state fedcrhtion of labor, be one of the memberE appointed. while It is thought that Mrs. Echols op- posed Mir. Harrisons recommenda- ton. Other three commissioners are said to be favorable to Mir. Moore's appointment and 1t is freely reported that he will be onle of the appointees.
 The commissioners met shortly aft CT 8 o'clock yestdrday afternoon and directly afterwaFd. President Mo- Lendon left tho conference 10 at tend another gathering, while W. B. Cioe withdrew from the room.

 That wasn't all the boys received from her work. for they also havc acquired three lovely rugs through this unselfish woman's efforts and eight artistic pictures for the walls. These will make things so honey"
 What have you given-or what will you give-for the new head quarters? Mrs. Sington Is still striv- ing to get other things for the boys, so you can either phone her and she will attend to 1t, or call The Aga- Herald welfare department, and ar rangements will be made to come after any furniture you wish to donate.

The day Mrs. Max Sington heard about it-not being one of these per sons who, since the war Is over, is careless of the existence of soldiers -she went right to work.
 Tt struck me as just awful if Bir- mingham would let its cavalrymen and the chaps who had joined and taken the vow that they would be willing to die for our service stay out there in their quarters just half provided for in the way of furni- ture.
 Found Furniture
 T did feel that they must know we love them and are just as eager to serve them as we were a short time back"
 And so Mrs. Sington looked around her own home to see what she could spare first Then she began to beg other people to help the boys, too.
 What she found at home were two lovely rockers, table and even A beautiful tapestry centerpiece to make the table 'livable."
