CALL FOR $4,000 FLY
SWATTERS IN DISTRICT
Put Screens On, Watch Garbage
Cans and Waste Food, Urges
DR.. Fowler,

A call for $4,000 volunteers to en-
list, in the army of fly swatters was
sent out today by Health officer Will
liam c. Fowler.
with the mercury slowly crawling
up toward summer heat the health
officer today began to prepare for
battle against the winged pests al
ready beginning to infest the city.
While the time is considered ripe
for disarmament agreements between
nations. DR.. Fowler declared today
that there is only one way to disarn
the house fly. Swat him!
DR.. Fowler does not want any Wash
ingtonian to claim exemption from
service in the army of swatters.
Every man. woman and child, he says,
should sign up in class Al.
If you have dependents, that is all
the more reason why you should be-
come soldier in the Army of Swat,
because the common enemy, the fly,
will stick his disease-carrying feet
into the food of your children.
Army age limits also are set aside
in recruiting for war on the fly. The
only physical requirement for serv-
ice is that you be able and willing
to WELD swatter every time a fly
lights near You.
The first move every householder
should make, DR.. Fowler advised, is
to put in the screens before raising
the windows.

that price; but, instead, he has
been selling it at So per copy. The
necessity for his selling it at So
a volume grows out of most pc
culiar condition of affairs. In the
first place, the reporter cuts up tho
decisions into two volumes, small
er than they should be, in order to
have two editions. so that he may
get the extra $1,000. In addition to
that, he has the placing of the con-
tract for the printing and binding,
and has placed that with New
York firm, from which he has ex-
acted and has received $6,500 per
year for the placing of the con-
tract.
"The reporter of the Supreme
Court is paid in an unusual way.
He is paid under permanent
statute. His drafts are made direct
ly on the Treasury, and Congress
does not have to appropriate for it.
Continuing-the law requires the
book to be sold at S1.75 a volume.
Yet the reporter who gives out the
publication and binding of it ex-
acts $2.16 2-3 a volume before he
will let the printer have it. Con-
sequently, it is impossible for the
publisher to sell it for $1.75, as he
has to pay the reporter of the
Supreme Court $2.16 2-3 a volume
before he will let him have the
contract. Adding all these things
together, the reporter of the Su-
preme Court, with his salary an
allowances and this piece of graft.
gets $4,000 a year, while justice
Of the Supreme Court himself gets
only $14,500 year"

exhibited in the yard of the home,
where she was carrying the nine
ak and struck the infant. telling it
from the arms of its sister. The
childs skull was fractured by the
blow, and it died three hours later in

after her father went back into the
house she saw him kill the two other
children who We're still in bed, and
then he went back into the yard.

blew his head off.
A brother of Helms says that he
had been suffering with an acute
stomach trouble for some time, and
told him a few days ago that unless
he got relief he believed he would go
crazy.
The tragedy occurred eleven miles
from Charlotte in a farmhouse into
which the family had moved last
Tuesday. leaving a local mill settle
ment in the hope that the change
would be beneficial to the health of
Helms.
