BLUE BOTTLE FLY.
CalIiphoridae.

CalnphOrldae.
TIME members of this family have
an unsavory reputation. They
seek very Objectionable matter
Il in which to lay their eggs. Too,
they are large, noisy and hard
to swat. On a very warm, rainy day
in the country they seem to appear In
swarns. They hang about the stables
and any place with decaying matter Is
exposed. Should they get into the
house, they buzz and bump against the
window pane and rush about search
ing for meat on which to place their
eggs. Meat that is egg-infested Is
called blown"
These creatures have a blue metallic
body, transparent wings, six very strong
legs outlined with stiff hairs, compound
eyes and short antennae.
After mating the mother searches
place her large family. In a few hours
after the eggs have been laid they
hatch into legless and often headless
creatures. They get their food supply
through their skin-white, soft-bodied
maggotS, moving about over the oe-
caying meat, and soon turning into
shiny brown elliptical coats OF mail.
In a very short time the brown skin
splits and the buzzing blue bottle ny is
OIL, seeking mate.
There are many generations a year,
and it has been said that pair of blue
bottle flies, with their descendants, can
consume an OK much more rapidly than
a hungry lion can.
The family has a bad reputation and
is thought of as a menace. This Is not
quite fair to them, however. Many
animals, large and small, die during
the Summer months. If they are not
buried the air would soon be UNIT to
breathe The blue bottle mother finds
the carcass and establishes her large
family on it. In a surprisingly short
time the matter is reduced TO powder
and only the bones remain. Thus the
blue bottle becomes a kindly sanitary
officer who has cost us nothing for his
services.

includes the bot fly, which torments

correct. In her dress she should study
her own needs and requirements. If

she should choose things that would
be striking in themselves. At first she
might feel overdaring and possibly con-
spicuous, but good taste would lead her
to choose middle course.
If she finds that she is not particu-

Leasing of the B. F. Keith the

several players who appeared with
the Berkell group in its seven sum-
mer seasons at English's theater.
Berkell said he would leave at
once for New York to arrange for
plays.
Keith'S theater, for many years
the home of big time vaudeville in
indianapolis, has been dark, so far
as any regular theatrical policy is
concerned, since the Keith circuit
retired from the local field several
years ago.
Under direction of Henry K. Bur-
ton, local representative Of the
theater owners, United Theater
Company, Keiths recently has been
renovated, refurnished and new
equipment installed.
With the increased seating ca
pacity of Keiths, the latest metro
politan stage hits can be presented
at reduced prices, Berkell said.

WRANGLE OVER
TAX PROGRAM
House Leader Rainey Seeks
to Confine Hike to Rich;
Robinson Opposed.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia lib
eral-conservative split has devel-
oped in the Democratic ranks over
tax legislation. The question in
brief is: Shall the rich be spared
or shall the poor man get a
break?"
This difference will be the subject
of debate when house and senate
party leaders get together in their
policy committee" meeting Tues
day to draft tax program. Because
of the controversy, agreement on
substitute for the $4,000 100000 Mel
lon-Hoover proposals will be de-
layed.
1t appeared certain today that the
house, where such measures must
originate, will not take up tax legis-
lation before the first of the year.
Democratic Leader Rainey said the
customary committee hearings prob
ably would last several days because
Of the numerous interests affected.
The controversy is epitomized in
the conflicting views of Rainey and
Senate Leader Robinson. Rainey,
one of the most liberal Democrats
in the house, favorS combining the
increases entirely to large incomes.
He is dead set against anything that
Savors of sales tax, and many of
his party in both houses agree with
him.
Robinson, on the other hand, is
averSe to high taxes on the rich.
AS presidential candidate in
1928, he learned something about
campaign finances; i. E., if the party
frightens the rich, it stands less
chance of filling its war chest.
At the same time, party leaders
realize that in order to win a ma
tional election they must after all
have votes as well as campaign
FUNDS. Secretary Melons plan i'm
poses increased burdens on the
small citizen, the man who con-
tributes vote, but no campaign
funds.
Democrats appear likely to adopt
a compromise, with higher rates for
the wealthy that Mellon desires,
with some luxury" taxes, but with
no increase in normal rates and
no decrease in exemptions. Added
to these provisions would be a gift
tax and higher inheritance levieS.

Buck Ager'
Mortal Combat of Forest
Ends as Law Parts
Locked AntIerS.
BIZ United Press

By UntteG Press
CTEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo,
~ Dec. 1.-Two great buck deer
met and gave battle near here.
Their giant antlers became locked.
Neither could break away.
Woodsmen often find the
bleached skeletons of deer, horns
entwined, to testify to such
struggle. The animals, unable to
separate, work themselves into
frenzy, finally fall exhausted and
die of starvation.
In this case, however, a train
crew saw the pair. The station
agent was notified. A posse went
to the scene, an area of blood
f1ecked, hoof-churned snow. While
the bucks were tied. their antlers
were sawed to release them.
Then the ropes were taken
away and the two animals
bounded away, toward the woods,
side by side.
