Down With the Fly" campaigns have been conducted during the past 20 years and have had good effect; but the house-fiy pest has not been removed. Our windows may have screens, but flies slip in through doorways; and if they find free lunch supply. they may in- crease in numbers.
 Most kinds of insects have four wings, but the fly has only two. It has compound eyes. On each of its six feet are two sticky pads. and these pads serve to carry germs from place to place.
 | From the eggs of flies come tiny worms, and the worms turn into flies. Old potato peelings, old chick en feathers, garbage cans, and saw dust sweepings from meat markets and stockyards provide places in which eggs of houseflies will hatch,
 Some flies live through the winter. If we allow Is days for change from eggs to flies, let us see how many flies might issue from a single batch of eggs laid on April 15. On May the average batch of eggs should hatch. Sixty of these flies would lay eggs, and on May 2S there would be 7,2OO flies On June 20. there would be 432,O0O flies. On July 20, | there would be 1,555,200,000 flies. On Sept 10, there would be five | trillion, five hundred ninety eight billion and seven hundred twenty | million flies!
 Such great increase does not | happen because most of the eggs do not hatch; but the figures give an idea of the great speed at which flies might multiply.
 To swat the fy'' may rid your home of few fles; but to be really safe we must prevent flies from hay ing places in which their eggs may hatch. and we should also keep food | careful covered. Germs carried by flies aer dangerous-they have been | found to spread the dreadful disease called typhoid. If fly drops into milk, the safe thing to do is to throw thhe milk away.
 Unless farmers keep all barns and stables clean, they will have no hope of keeping down the supply of house flies. Flies may hatch in and around the barn. but they will learn the way to travel to ths warmers house! | UNCLE RAY.

 The accuracy of this count in arr irving at three no trump declara- tons is almost uncanny as the great CT majority of all hands will make three no trump when the combined count is "A.

BRITISH FIGHT
OVER UNIONS

LONDON, Jan. 6 UN.SJ-
When the trade disputes and
trade union bill is first debated
in the House Of Commons on
January %, the British cabinet
will have raised the most import
ant political issue in Britain in
several years and one which may
lead to its downfall.
Twenty.four years ago a lib
eral government passed an act
which permitted trade unions to
impose levies for political pur-
poses on their members, and
broadly approved the principal
of a sympathetic strike.
It was with this legalization
that the general strike of 1925
was organized.
In 1927, the Conservative gov
ernment, under Stanley Baldwin,
passed an act of Parliament
which made illegal levies for
political purposes, made trade
union funds liable to legal at
tachment for unlawful acts, and
made sympathetic and general
strikes practically conSpiracies
against law and order.
Now the Macdonald govern
ment is about to give back to
the trade unions the rights and
liberties which they lost then.

LEAGUE PARLEY
ON NARCOTICS
HITS SNAG
German Delegation Objects
to Any Limitation in the
Manufacture of Codeine

GENEVA, March 4 U.SJ.
The League of Nations interna.
tional narcotic conference here al
ready has struck a snag.
Although the council extended
the agenda to cover limitation OF
all drugs, Germany has notified
the League it cannot agree to
any limitation of manufacture of
codeine. Codeine is an opiate de-
rived from morphine. 1t is not now
under control in League anti-nar-
cotic conventions.
Manufactured Freely
European factories manufacture
codeine freely. The United
States, however, restricts codeine
as it does all other derivatives of
opium and the coca leaf.
While not as dangerous as NOR.
phine or heroin, codeine is never
theless a habit-forming drug,
according to League health ex-
perts.'
Another danger from codeine,
authorities declare, is that con-
siderable quantities Of morphine
can be extracted from it through
relatively simple reconversion
process.
With codeine not limited, it is
feared that a loophole would be
left open for illicit traffickers to
secure supplies of dope to peddle
all over the world.
Financial Loss
Realizing these harmful con-
sequences, both the Leagues opium
advisory committee and the per-
manent central opium board voted
to ask the May conference to
bring codeine under strict regula-
tion.
Germany's representative de-
clared limitation of manufacture
Of codeine would involve too
great a financial drain on its
already heavily burdened govern.
mental resources.
