FLIES BLIND TO
DARK COLORS

VIENNA. UP)-If you want to be
spared the nuisance of flies, have
somber wallpaper and use dark
covers for your furniture, says
Raoul France, noted Vienna phys
icist.
France explains that the flies
through many thousand years, have
been accustomed to associate sweet
ness with light colors. In contrast
to butterflies, which prefer red ano
blue flowers, and to bees, which
like purple and dark yellow ones,
flies only seek honey on flowers Of
light colors.
Flies cannot, or can hardly, per-
ceive any colors aside from white.

cording to this scientist, who as
serts that a fly will never be founo
on a dark carnation or on REQ
rose.
Flies are always attracted by light
colors and shining surfaces such
as mirrors and windows, and for
this reason white flypaper should
be used by preference. France.
therefore, advises use of dark cur
tains, wallpaper and furniture and
to paint ceilings in dark tints.

WELLSBURG, w. Va, (UP)-
The local marriage mill is geared
up to quantity production this
year and all records for the tri-

to be shattered.
So far this year more than 1900
men and women have come here
to be united. That's about 1000
more than at the same time last
year.
The increase is attributed to a
new Pennsylvania law requiring a
five-day pause between license ap-
plication and the marriage. More
than half the Wellburg marriage
business comes from Western
Pennsylvania.
So busy is the Gretna Green
that all who take part in it work
overtime. County Clerk Charlotte
Calderwood issues licenses at
night. Taxi drivers are so rushed
that some couples are left on their

BATTLE STARTS
OVER SWAYING
LABOR VOTES

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is. U.P)-
Democratic leaders today prepared
to fight for millions of organized
workers votes which were placed
in the doubtful column overnight
by the sudden injection into the
presidential campaign of the craft
industrial union strife rocking the
American Federation of Labor.
A statement by William Hutch
eson, head of the Republican par,
TVS labor division, that a vot,
for President Roosevelt meant 9
vote for the 10 rebel" unior
leaders suspended from the A. F
of L. was interpreted here as al
attempt to split the labor vote
Hutcheson asserted that MI
Roosevelt favored the industrial
or one-big- union program espous-
ed by the rebel" leaders and said
John L. Lewis and his CLIO. aides
had little support until the New
Deal came into power. Democra-
tic campaign chieftains had sought
to keep the A. F. of l.. quarrel
out of the presidential fight.
Today, however, after it had been
catapulted to the front line politi-
cal trenches, New Dealers turned
to an agreement negotiated be!
tween workers and automobil2
manufacturers on March 26, 1884
which said in part:
THE employees agree to bargain
collectively with the freely choS-
en- representatives of groups anc
not to discriminate in any way
against any employe on the grounc
of his union labor affiliations
The government makes it cleal
that it favors no particular unior
or particular form of employe or
ganization or representation >
Although Mr.. Roosevelt has beer
called upon more than any Other
president in years, to intervene il
labor disputes, a search of the rec,
ordS disclosed no instance in which
he has publicly indicated his pref.
erence for any form of labor or.
ganization, including craft, indus

The charges will be backed by
research reports compiled by Will
liam w. Lockwood, Jr, research
associate for the institute, who
during the past two years has
completed two series of three
studies each on the nature anc
extent of the American economic
stake in the Orient.
me question of this part played
by American capital in japanese
expansion will come up Monday
when the institute takes up the
problem of Americas national pol
icy in the far East and especially
the repercussionS which the poll
cies of the New Deal have hac
there.
AS regards American invest
ments in the Far East, Lockwood's
report says they have declined at
least $300,000,000 since 1880 from
the original figure of approximate
ly $75000O,000.
In the matter of American Sc
curity holdings along in the Far
East, the latter dropped, accord
ing to Lockwood, go per cent be-
tween 1880 and 1885, holdings of
far eastern bonds falling from
$550,000,000 to $22O,O00,O0O.
LockWood's reports are to serve
largely as a basis for the discus
sions of the institute on the prob
lem of whether the foreign policy
of the present U. S. administration
indicates that the China market
IS still regarded as of vital i'm
portance for American economic
development, and if so, what is
likely to be the policy Of the

DALLAS, Tex. W.R)-Best method
of winning a rattlesnakes friend
ship-if his friendship is desired
is to treat him gently, and even
scratch the back of his neck, Jack
Raymon, Chicago herpetologist, ad-
ViSeS.
There is nothing that annoys a
rattler more than quick movements
the reptile authority said. BY easy
gentle handling the snake can be
made into friend in three or four
weeks.
AS for the nonpoisonous snakes
they are companionable creatures,
he said, and writhe contentedly in
the hands of handler after 30
minutes.
