on refuse heaps and in filth generally. They breed so fast that from recent calculation based on experiments made by Dr. O. l.. Howard, chief of the U. s. Government Chronological Bureau, one fly could, between June and September 28, have as many as 4,S63,654,627, ,OOO,- O00, 0,O00,OO0 descendants.

IF a peaceful American family knew
 in advance that at certain time it's % house would be attacked by lions, tig- CTS, deadly serpents or murderous savages, the father, mother and all of the children old enough to help would immediately take measures for protection.
 They would bar the doors and windows, buy guns, set traps and poisons. l If they didn't do it, the neighbcrs would Say they were crazy, and that if they all got killed it would "serve them right. '"
 Yet at this moment and progressively for the next few months, deadly ''nonster' is attacking every American home from Maine to California-and be- cause it happens to be small, familiar creature, nobody gets very much excited about 1t.
 The deadly enemy is the common house fly.
 It kills more people eyeEy year than all the wild beasts, savages and gunnnen in the world.
 Last year, in the city of New York alone, it killed 5000 babies. In the whole United States it was responsible for the deaths of 75,O0O babies. There are no adult mortality statistics, but they would probably be approximately large.
 How is the fly such wholesale mur- dere9f tEs

door, every opening in the house; no screens on the front of the house anG none at the back; not wire screens over the windows of the best bedrooms and torn cotton mosquito bars on the others. Screens should go on early, and remain there so long as there are any flies about.
 Killing the flies that get in may be done in three ways: Use fy-swatter; set fly-traps, any cheap efficient sort that you can buy at the nearest store, or fly paper. The third way is poison. Boards of health recommend formaldehyde or sodium salicilate as best, and this is how to use them for household purposes:
 Add three tablespoons of either (not both) to a pint of water. Nearly fill a tumbler with the solution, placing over the top piece of plotting paper, cut in circle, larger than the top of the tumbler. Place an inverted saucer over this. Turn the whole device over, so that the saucer will be right-side-up on the table, with the up-side-down glass on it. Insert tooth pick under the edge of the tumbler to allow access of air. The plotting paper which sticks out around the bottom of the glass will remain moist and wet for weeks, as long as there is any solution left in the tumbler, and will attract and kill flies, A little sugar sprinkled upon the paper will increase the attractiveness of the poison for the flies.
 While individuals are adopting these .aethods on their private property, health departments are waging a general war which each year is gradually becoming more effective. Screening or covering and subsequent quick disposal of garbage; cleaning up of stables; eliminating dumps and refuse heaps near human habitation; seeing that all food is properly screened or protected in public eating places, stores and on push-carts comprise their chief activities against the fly.
 Another method of wholesale fy.fght- ing which has been undertaken with suc- cess in England is the gas attack. Places in which flies have laid their eggs in large numbers are sprayed by men in gas masks, using gas pump with sulphur dioxide. This method has not yet been tried in America, but may be made the subject of experiment by the New York Board of Health.
 One cheerful note among these warnings is the report that flies, while stil appear ing every Summer in great numbers, are decreasing rather than increasing in towns and cities. This is partly due to the fight made on them by individuals and health boards, but probably even more so to the fact that automobiles are replacing horses. Livery stables are breeding places for flies, no matter how great care is taken to keep them clean. As the livery stables are gradually replaced by garages, the fly finds one of his favorite haunts sup pressed.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-15

Each fly normally lives about three weeks. A female begins to lay eggs after about ten days of life. In all she usually lays three patches of eggs, of about 120 each. The possible number of descendants of single female fly during the warm mcnths from June to September, there fore, is almost incomprehensible.
 These common house flies which multi ply with such tremendous rapidity are

filth. These eggs are oval and white, about the size of raspberry seed, and are laid in clusters of about 120 each. At midsummer temperatures, the eggs will hatch in eight hours. In cooler weather, they require more time.
 The fly grub or larva is an active little white worm, slightly longer and broader than the egg. It roots around in the filth or her material in which it matches, and
