TO RAISE FLIES FOB USE
IN CURING BONE DISEASE.

Investigations are being made by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture which, II successful, Will lead to
the commercial propagation Of certain
kinds Of flies to be used by the medical
profession In treating wounds and bone
inflammations.
or three kinds Of flies, none Of which
Is to be associated with the common
house fly, Is the outgrowth Of an ac-
cidental discovery by DR.. William g.
Baer, former Army surgeon and now Of
John Hopkins University. Having OBJ
served in France two soldiers brought
in after lying for seven days on the
battleflelds, with their wounds heavily
infested with fly larvae but healing un-
usually well, Doctor Baer pondered the
incident for 10 years while treating
many patients suffering with oSteomy-
elitis. This disease, more common in
children than In adults, Is an inflam-
nation of the bone which results in
flesh infections. It is hard to cure and
if allowed to become chronic often
fingers for years.
About two years ago Doctor Baer
tried the larvae treatment on a few of
Ills pdtleIltS ana some OF the chronic
cases were cured within six weeks.
Since then about 800 patients have
been treated. All children and four
fifths of the adults were cured
To prevent larvae from introducing
injurious bacteria into the wounds the
eggs from which they are Matched are
first diSinfected by dipping them in a
solution of bichloride of mercury.
Little is known about the actual bene-
fits contributed by the little healers,
but Doctor Baer is of the opinion that
I they serve as living diSinfectants
The success of Doctor Baer's expert
mentS and the large number of cases
throughout the country to which this
| treatment is adapted have created a
demand for larvae. Entomologists of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture are interested not only in find
ing methods of propagating large num-
bers Of these species of flies under as
sanitary conditions as possible but also
in devising accurate means of indenti-
flying larvae as members of the proper
species before they are used.

INCREASE, IN FOOD
INDUSTRY IS RAPID
Many Firms Organized to En-.
ter Promising FieId-Soap-
Making Grows.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.

There Is q concerted rush among
some manufacturers to get ut least
one line Of products which win not
be materially affected even In times Of
business depression. This accounts for
the entry into the food products field
Of scores Of firms which hitherto have
not handled food. They know that
the 125,000.000 people in this country
must eat whether stocks 60 UP or down.
the number OF soap manufacturers, for
that product has come to be staple
necessity OF American life, and every
citizen can be counted on to consume
q certain amount each year. Con-
sentative estimates are that soap costs
every 1nhabitant Of this country 1 cent
q day. Emphasis has been given to
this stability through the policy Of
one leading manufacturer in guaran-
teeing employees full-time operation
throughout the year. s.,
Soap Industry.
The soap industry now employees some
$4,000 persons, and production in this
country has been steadily advancing
since 1921. It will exceed 5000 ,000, 900
pounds in 1890, and the per capita
consumption in this country will ap-
proXimate "a pounds. The position Of
the industry has been bettered technic-
ally through the lower prices Of raw
ingredients. Oils, fats and greases have
shown downward tendency since the
early part Of 1929 This Is due, 1t IL
said, to the recent increase in the world
supply Of whale oil. :.
For many years the whaling industry
showed lesSening Of activity and i'm
portance, but recent activities in Arctic
and Antarctic waters and the use Of
new equipment, including modern YES
sells and flying boats, have resulted in
bringing 1t back to its old level.
The price level Of soap fats in the
last year has dropped approximately
Is per cent. Toilet soaps, however,
have maintained their retail prices and
there has been q widening Of profit
duced others to go into the business.
Competition In laundry soaps Is keen
and recently resulted in cut Of /
cent q pound in price. The drop IN
fat prices has resulted, however, In an
increase in the fat content Of AMeri-
can soaps Of 18 per cent.
Cocoanut OH.
About 81 per cent Of the cocoanut
oil brought to this country Is used in
soap manufacture and large quantity
Of palm oil also Is used. These oils
are specially valuable in the making
of white soap and In producing free
lathering commodity for use in hard
water.
The United States probably viii i'm
port about 100000 worth Of toilet
soaps In 1890, but 1t will probably sell
so, 000, 900 worth Of soap abroad during
that period. A trend. which manufac-
turers say is Just starting, involves not
the pertaining but the colorfng of soap.
The trend toward brighter colors not
only in bath rooms, but in kitchens
and laundries, Is producing demand
for soaps that viii match the room
decorations.
