POISONING FLIES BY
USING FORMALDEHYDE
Addition of Sugar viii Add to Its
Effectiveness.

(Prsparsd BY the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
Probably the best poisoned bait Tor
house flies, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture, Is
formaldehyde in milk used at the rate
Of about three teaspoonfuls Of
formaldehyde to pint of a mixture
of equal parts of milk and water. This
is placed in fiat dishes in places fire.
quented by flies. A piece of bread or
a sponge in the dish adds to the effec-
tiveness. Brown sugar or molasses
and water with 21a per cent formalde-
hyde Commercial, 40 per cent solu-
tion) added will probably also give
satisfactory results. AS far as possi-
BILE other liquids should be removed
when poisoned bats are exposed.
The use of poisoned solutions, espe-
cially arsenical solution In tubs con-
tanning portions of animal carcasses,
has been tried and advocated against
the screw-worm by a number of stock
men. A comparatively weak poison
solution-about one gallon of dip, as
used for cattle, diluted to seven gallons
of water-is sufficient. Best results
usually have been secured where
considerable portion Of the animal
matter was allowed to protrude from
the poison solution, as there is ten
dency for the solution to harden the
bait and prevent its decomposition,
thus reducing It's attraction for flies.
1t should be borne in mind that
formaldehyde, 40 per cent. is poison
about in the same proportion as wood
alcohol, II taken internally. 1t should
not be inhaled, nor should the eyes
be unduly exposed to 1t. Special pains
should be taken to prevent children
from drinking poisoned bats and to
prevent the poisoned flies from drop
ping into foods or drinks. Arsenical
solutions. as Is well known, are e1-
tremely poisonous to man and animals.
Care should be taken to protect the
poisoned bats from live stock, and 1t
II net advisable 10 have the baits close
to barnyards where fowls are kept, as
they may be poisoned by eating the
dead flies.

HAVE OLD CARPETS REWovEN
Old Material May De Converted into
Durable Ruos-sheuid Be Thor
euohiy Cleaned.

New rugs may be woven from old
woolen carpets and rugs too shabby
to be used as they are. points out the
United States Department OF Agricui-
ture. Factories for doing the work
may be found in many localities. The
old material is cut into strips about
tbree-fourths of an inch wide, which
when sewed together and twisted make
a cord somewhat like chenille and form
+fne filling of the new rug. Cotton
skring is used for the warp. Those
rsugs are very heavy and soft, alike on
tAoth sides, and durable, provided they
atre cleaned carefully. They are gen
orally rather neutral in color and with
otut a definite design; borders, now
ever. may be woven from strips OF car
pct of solid color, or figured carpet
may be dyed for this purpose. In
general, about six and half ponnds
of old carpet Is required to make

COURT ACTION SOUGHT TO COMPEL
SHOWING OF RUSSIAN RELIEF FILMS

aCllon to stop interference nv local
officials with the showing of a film by
the Friends of Soviet Russia in vari-
Gus cities has been started by the
American Civil Liberties Union with
the announcement that court action
would be sought to compel the PrOvi-
dence, r. l. Board of Police Commits
sioners to rescind its order barring
the film.
The Board revoked its permission
for the showing Of the picture on
September 28th because they were not
convinced that the funds collected
would be used for "the relief of or
phans in Russia" as advertised. At
torneys for the Civil Liberties Union
in New York have advertised repre-
sentatives of the organization in Pro-
violence and in Boston to proceed with
q suit if the police persist in tactics of
delay.
The Board of Police Commissioners
recently stated that the question has
been referred to Secretary of Com
merce Herbert Hoover as an auth0li-
ty on Russian relief This move is
characterized by DR.. Harry F. Ward,
chairman Of the Civil Liberties Union,
40 HAOlly clLb1C1 al anu NilW al clIlG-
ed" and the whole action probably
Illegal"
The interest of the Civil Liberties
Union in the case, according to it's
representatives, is limited to the pro-
lection of the legal rights of the
Friends of Soviet Russia to carry on
its propaganda for Russian relief
throughout the country. 1t charges
that interference by local officials is
due to "reactionary organizations
which seek to obstruct all aid by radi-
Gals to Soviet Russia"
The good faith of the relief orga-
nization, the Union states, has been
attested by a special investigating
committee which went into the charge
of irregularity and diversion of funds
a year ago and gave the organization
a clean bill. The committee was COM
posed of Prof. Robert Morss LOvett of
Chicago. Norman NJ Thomas and
Roger n. Baldwin of New York City
and Timothy d. Healy of the Associ-
alton of Eccentric Firemen.
