Common House Fly Lays
Egg That Matches MaRRoi


The house fly undergOes a COM
plete change of form in its develop
ment from the egg to the perfect
fly. The larvae of the house flies
are popularity known as 'maggots.
House flies breed In almost any de-
caying matter Of an animal or veg
etable nature. Horse manure forms
the chief substance In which the
larvae are found, and heaps of such
manure are the principal breeding
places of these insects.
A single fly is capable of deposit
Ing from 100 to $50 eggs at one
time, and FIVE or six such patches
Of eggs may be deposited during the
fly's life. The eggs are oval in
shape, one end being slightly broad
er than the other towards which
the egg tapers slightly. They are
pearly white In color. In warm
weather these eggs hatch in from
s to "a hours after being laid. Be-
fore reaching maturity, the mag
g0ts cast their skins twice. Ac-
cording to the temperature, the
maggots may become full-grown in
FIVE days The full-grown larvae Is
creamy-white, legless maggot.
The body tapers Off from the mid
die to the anterior end.

Waste in War Equipment

Most of the arguments against
war fail to mention the vast waste
which occurs In the purchasing of
war equipment and supplies. A
classic example took place when
America entered the World war. Al
though the army had only $4,000
horses, some imaginative indiyid-
ual placed orders for 945,OO0 sad
dies, 100000 horse covers, 1,5OO,-
600 horse brushes, 100000 feed
bags and $780, 900 Golfers
Weekly.

The famous Gulf stream, which

Is an ocean river, says a writer In
Tit-Bits Magazine. 1t keeps one
quarter Of the water Of the North
Atlantic on the move, and Is COM
puted to pour 436, coo, 600, 900 tons OF
water past Florida daily. The DIFF
ference of temperature between the
stream and the adjacent water,
even as far from its source In the
Caribbean sea as Newfoundland. In
30 degrees, and the color Ii indigo
blue. Its maximum speed OF how Ia
four miles an hour. The cause OF
this flow is probably the difference
In density, the stream water being
much heavier by reason OF exces-
sive saltiness, consequent upon
tropical evaporation. Its direction
Is determined by the narrow pas

ing from the gulf Of Mexico. Its
effect In tempering our climate In
best illustrated by the fact that the

DIR. ]. wi. Boldly,
Unique Figure,
Dies Suddenly

DR.. j. M. Boldly, one of the Twin
Cities most unique figures, died
early last Sunday morning at his
home, 211 West 26th ST., Minneap-
oils.
Princeton Graduate
DIR. Boldly was 70 years. old and
was a native of Wrightsville, Pa.
A. graduate of Lincoln University
at Chester, Pa, he was among the
few Negroes to matriculate at the
Princeton Theological Seminary
from which he received his DID.
Later he studied medicine at the
Albany, N. Y, College of Medicine,
receiving in 1906 his M. D. from
that institution.
In Troy, N. Y, he pastored a
Presbyterian church, practicing
medicine at the same time. He
served that church for many years.
His last charge was Zion Presby-
terrain of st. Paul. Loss of his
hearing finally forced him to aban-
don both of the professions for
which he was trained.
In later life he became care
taker in south Minneapolis.
Student of Negro History
His withdrawal from public life
did not lessen his interest in his
people. A keen researching stu
dent of Negro history in its rela-
ton to the western hemisphere, DR..
Boldly exploded many current fall
lacies regarding the Negroes part
in the development of the New
World. He was a prolific writer
for the leading daily and weekly
papers. ......... .......

No Hoover Era

Your Paper


Olympic athletes to Germany.
While our country, the southern
states in particular, are often un-
fair to Negro athletes, we do not
think America should enter it's
athletes in the Berlin Olympics I'M
til that country allows full parti-
cipation of German-Jewish ath-
letes.
Two wrongs make not one right.
Because a portion of America mis-
treats its darker brother athletes
is no reason why America (the
thoroughly civilized porto NJ,
should not condemn American par
ticipation in the Olympic games in
Germany.
Baron de COubertin, who revived
the Greek Olympic games, said
that the Olympic idea is the con-
ceptiOn of physical strength united
with spirit of chivalry and fair
play.
Who can say that there is any
fair play or chivalry in Germany's
treatment of it's Jewish athletes.
We hesitate to believe that the ma
iOrity of Germany's people ap-
prove the race and religious per-
secutiOn being practiced so shame
fully by the present rulers of Ger
many.
The Negro worker at the mercy
of exploiting capital on one side,
and antagonistic labor unions on
the other (before F. d. Roosevelt)
will hesitate to return to the Cool
idge-Hoover era. Jobs for which
he dared not apply before the
New Deal are his now for the ask
ing on the government relief prof.
ects.
In our Twin Cities during the
Harding Coolidge-Hoover rel n
few Negroes were seen working on
even the city or state street and
road Improvement projects. Now
we find our able-bodied men and
women who need work employed
on many projects alongside their
white brethren.
On building projects, in the
parks, libraries, on surveys, in fact
in all of the New Deal projects,
we find all nationalities which
make up our country and this is
fine. 1t will take much more than
the bombast now being exploded
by critics of the F. D. r. program
to convince the Negro people of
the north and border states that
the New Deal is wrong.
BY the way, we never hear the
farmer who a few years ago was
Americas Forgotten Man saying
much these days. Evidently the
New Deal is satisfying him.

Those laughing eyes we
Can't forget.
Your spirit watches over our
Way through every minute Of
the day.
I'm sure You were lent by heaven
So pure a spirit were not given
Four years ago you said goodbye
And went away.
Your stay on earth had been so great
It left us stricken down with grief.
/ know you were not meant for earth
Though earthly mortal gave You birth
A bud so pure untarnished sweet
To bloom in heaven seems more sweet
And shed its fragrance round the throne
We loved the dear, we loved
Thee so; and tho we greet thee
Here, no more, your stay on earth
Was not In vain for we shall meet
And love again.

Bethesda BapuSt.-Sunday at
Bethesda began with an interesting
Sunday school lesson which an un-
usually large number enjoyed. For
the morning service the Rev. j. ].

Zion Baptist.-The attendance at

departure from the numbers which
ordinarily mark this service. The
lesson was reviewed by Mrs. Anna
B. Lewis. At the morning hour
the attendance was better than
usual. The pastor, the Rev. II. w.
Bolts, preached from the text as
found in Ezekiel 1:16, the subject,
"a Wheel in the Middle of a
Wheel" Rev. II. C. White gave
the prayer. In the B.Y.P.U. the
devotions were led by Mrs. Minerva

Editors Note:

For the past eight months, this
newspaper has given freely its
columns to the innumerable actiVi-
ties of our Twin City churches.
Copy from the churches has grown
so heavy that from time to time,
for reasons of economy, much of
the subject matter has been de-
leted and some notices left out en-
tirely. In the future, notices sent
in should not exceed 160 words.
Correspondents may note events of
outstanding Importance separately
to allow the editors to give proper
additional publicity to the more i'm
pOrtant affairs. Copy should, If
possible, include the coming events
rather than what occurred LAST
Sunday. Subject of the coming
Sundays sermon should be given
if possible.
The publicity service we have at
tempted to give to the organized
churches has generally been ap-
preciated. The return in direct
revenue of increased sales, job
printing, etc., has been fair. 1t is
perhaps significant, however, that
only one Twin City pastor is listed
as a regular paid mail subscriber.
None of the churches have sub
scribed as a unit.
As time goes on, we hope to be
able to increase the space allotted
to the important activity of church
life. With continued and increased
cooperation, we will be able to i'm
prove our service.
