NEW HAVEN, Conn, June T.
Clarence d. Chamberlin was banned
from flying in Connecticut about
three years ago after he had flown
low over the Yale Bowl during a
foot ball game. The ban has not
been lifted, as far as can be learned.
The request that he stay out Of
the State with his machine was
made by Maj, T. 0. Freeman, head
of the aviation section of the Con-
necticut National Guard, and Clar-
ence Knox. now State aviation
commissioner, but at the time
jointly in charge of State air
matters with Freeman. 1t was felt
by officials, when the ban was
placed. that Chamberlin' actions

Use of the air-cooled engine, Comdr.

All of the Navy's new type of
planes, proved to be highly efficient in
rigid service tests, are or will be
equipped with air-cooled engines of
the 200, 400 or $50 type. These include
the Curtiss and Boeing shipboard

FEDERAL JUDGE JACOBS
SCORES PROHI MEN

: Prohibition enforcement officers
who participate IN raids made under
city and county warrants when United
States warrants are not obtainable,
were severely scored by Judge Fred
C. Jacobs in the federal district court
at Prescott.
a defendant was brought into court,
charged with having had a half pint
of liquor on his person. 1t developed
that he was arrested in the course of
raid upon a roadhouse, and that the
federal officer who made the arrest
had no warrant; he was merely CO.
operating with county officers, who
had a warrant out of their own
court.
The defendant was promptly dis
charged, and Judge Jacobs announced
that in all similar cases he would
grant motions for dismissal. "This
is a serious question" the court said,
concerning the right of an officer to
search any person unless he is under
arrest, or unless proper search
warrant has been issued.

and typhoid. The backyard privy is
not onlv q nuisance, but decided
menace to the public health. If the
open privv IS not abolished by city
ordinance, it should be regulated. The
garbage heap, too, contributes to the
number Of flies. There will be flies
as long as there is filth. No filth,
no flies.
The importance Of flies in the
spreading Of disease is seldom fully
recognized, and where it is the meas
ures for the suppression Of the nui-
sance are frequently ineffective. The
list of diseases which may be spread
by flies is both long and important.
Experiment and observation have
demonstrated this mode Of possible
infection in
Typhoid and paratyphoid fever, dys-
entery, diphtheria, diarrhoea, small
pox, tuberculosis, cholera, anthrax and
polinyelitis (infantile paralysis).
They are credited with the spread
Of leprosy. They carry the germs OF
Egyptian sore eyes. They have been
proven as an effective agent in trop-
icaI disease called the yaws. There
is d fatal disease Of horses and mules,
the germ Of which is low animal
form called a trypanosonne. 1t has
been proven, that this disease is
spread by the common house fly. It
is also demonstrated that flies often
carry the eggs of many intestinal
worms, especially those of the tape
worm.
From the similarity Of the germs of
epidemic meningitis to those Of polio
n1yelitis, both as to form and natural
habitat in the posterior portion Of the
nose, we may also suspect that flies
may be active agents in dissemina-
ton Of the meningitis.

increase in the native lamb crop. It

Flies Great Menace
To Public Health

The state board of health gives the
following fourteen points about the
fly which the public should know:
Remember, no filth, no fliesl
Flies have no conscience.
Flies carry filth and disease germs.
They breed in filth and dirt.
The fly that matches in the privy is
the same that dimes at your table.
Buy foods and candies only from
those places which are free from flies.
Food should be well protected and
under cover at all times.
One female fly in April means mil
lions in July
Destroy fly-breeding places.
Keep garbage covered and remove
frequently.
Remove manure once a week dur
ing fly season.
Keep streets. alleys and backyards
Screen houses and buildings where
food exists.
Swat the late and early fly
Abandon& privies if possible, and
make those fly-tight that must be
used.
Teach the children the danger
from flies and how to destroy them.
Remember the Golden Rule and do
not carelessly maintain fly-breedlng
places that will annoy your neigh
Dor.
From egg to fly is ten to twelve
days. If manure is carted away once
every week, the egg will not have
time to develop. If the manure IS
spread out on the ground the sun viii
kill the eggs and maggots.
All cities in the state are clothed
with power to abate nuisances dan
gerous to the public health. 1t IS
easy, therefore, for local health au-
thorities to enact reasonable rules
covering the care of stables and the
keeping and disposal of manure.
Flies breed also in human excre-
nlent or filth, thus becoming very dan
gerous to human beings, as they car

SILK VELVET DISPUTE FELTS CLAIM FOR SUPREMACY
FABRIC HATS MORE SIMPLE THIS YEAR
BY HARRIET

MILLINERY for the fall and
winter is making desperate
effort to be different and break
away from the dominance of felt
The theory seems to be that
while felt is ideal for sport and
for general wear. there are times
when a silk or velvet model is not
only more appropriate, but de-
cidedly more chic.
And with velvet, particularly
the chiffon weight transparent
velvet, carrying all before it for
gowns and wraps, naturally mil
linery must fall in step.
Pro and Con
The great advantage OF felt is
that it doesn't look too dressed
up, and the main disadvantage
with velvet is that it usually does,
and women today do want to
avoid that conscious effort at
dress.
So the fabric hats of this season
have learned the lesson from felts
and have become more simple,
have made their lines more dis
tinctive and their trimming less
obvious. So they start out in the
race for fashions supremacy with
less handicap.
the new hats that feature velvet
and satin. Particularly chic is the
small afternoon model from Alex,
the French modiste, made OF
black satin with a narrow ripple
brim lined with pink silk moire
and a band of pink moire, silver
ribbon and black satin around the
crown. 1t would be most appro-
pirate for the black satin gown,
but would not be aniss at all
with the smart tailleur worn with
pink or white chemisette and a
fox scarf.
Soft Turban
A study in greens is the tur-
ban of green velvet, very softly
made, with folded bands of a
lighter shade of green draped
about the crown and hanging in
loose folds. It's exotic charm calls
for a regular type of features,
and its coloring for a clear youth
ful complexion.
There are still women who like
to be picturesque in spite of much
evidence to the contrary, and for
them is shown a soft hat of al
mond green velvet stitched in
black silk, with a very demure
bow hugging the front of the
crown. and an intriguing veil to
