Cams Beaten
In Hard PIav

Bill Libke. manager Of the
Alt Heidelberg basketball
team. voluntarily forfeited the
championship Of Pierce coun-
~ to the johnson Paint club
of the City league Friday
morning. Libke said he would
be unable to floor full team
for the clash. which WAS sched-
uled to be played tonight.
The Heidelbergs entered the
district competition finals by de-
feating Puyallup's Totems re-
Gently.
The Painters had 10 apply
pressure from the very out
set to turn aside the Gamma
rano bid 10 stay in the play
offs and force third game At
the Lincoln courts. While the
Cams threatened and played
hard. fast basketball. the
Painters had what WAS needed
In the long run.
FIRST QUARTER GALL
Cammarsnos opened with pair
of free throws but the Painters
came back with two field goals 10
hold a slim Az lead. The Bot
tiers tied the count then dropped
behind until the end OF the initial
period which ended gall.
Johnsons drew first blood in the
second quarter, but were nipped
again as the Bottlers went ahead
on pair of field goals and kept
the lead until the third quarter
was well underway.
Johnsons rallied strongly In
the last of the third to take a
go to 81 lead, but faltered to
end the period leading, "a to
go.
The last quarter was nip and
tuck with Johnsons holding a slim
two and three point lead until the
final minutes when bad pass
was intercepted and capitalized on
by Erling Tollefson and the Paint
ers walked off with the game.
Tollefson was the big gun in the
Painter attack with four beautiful
long shots and a cripple that real

Barney Kahn, general chairman,

Bremerton' entry into the ski

ing disease breeders. Since the life
story of the house fly has been told
repeatedly, even moving pictures
shown of it and its repulsive habits
why do we still work for the success
of this insect by our own careless
ness?
House flies do not bite. Their
mouth parts have been fashioned for
sucking and tapping up liquids.
Their cousin, the stable fly, is the
bitter, and as the two cousins re-
semble each other very much, the
mistake is easily made by the in
jured party.
House flies are dangerous germ
carriers. When we are annoyed at
them because they seem so deter
mined to light on uncovered food,
how many people actually realize
that the fly lands on food and begins
at once to clean up" Wings, body
and legs have become coated with
matter the fly has craWled in or
over, impeding the flight of the in
sect AS all parts of the loathsome
creature are covered with fine short
hairs as well as short stiff ones, they
pick up much.
The fly cannot take solid food.
Therefore, when it wishes to enjoy
any of our food that is in this state,
1t proceeds to pour out saliva to
moisten and soften it and with its
very fine, corrugated, finished lobes
that resemble fine spirals, it rasps
the food into liquid form. The long,
f1eshy probocis has. two membranous
lobes that are fully distended when
the fly is feasting. With them the
food that has been reduced to the

the food reservoir.
The fly's legs are equipped with
a pair of heavy claws and two soft,
membranous pads. These pads,
called pulvillae, are covered with
fine hairs which manufacture a
sticky substance permitting the fly
to walk upon glass and on the CELL
ing. Swatters are given away at
many stores. Help get rid OF this
dangerous foe.

World wide distribution is enjoyed
by the house fly family. What trou-
BILE this means to millions! 1t also
reveals successful methods employed
by the members to insure such cov-
erage of territory. The mere men
ton of the house fly is to bring to
mind a disagreeable picture and 1t
is an insect that has been Warred
against for centuries. Real coop
Grafton among humans is needed.
Its whole career is repulsive. 1t
seeks only the most Objectionable
matter in which to deposit its eggs.
They are white, elongate, and hatch
very soon after being deposited, six
or eight hours, to be exact. That is
one reason, as you can see, for sue
cuss. No time is lost for some
thing to intervene and break up
the plan.
When the larvae hatch they are
white, pointed and are known as
maggots. They grow fast and cast
their skins twice before reaching
their full growth, which is from four
to five days.
The outer skin now hardens, swelLs
out and becomes dark brown in
color. Within this tough casing the
true pupa is formed, and it will
take about five days for the trans
formation to take place. Then out
steps the adult fly through a round
hole in the anterior end of the pupa
coat. Ten days during the summer
is the life cycle for single genera
ton. Twelve to thirteen generations
can be thus counted on in Wash
tngton, D. C.
The mother fly deposits an aver
age of 120 eggs. A student of mathe-
matics would like this problem. The
medium for the incubation of the
eggs and the food for the larvae is
still sufficiently abundant for any
city to be pestered with these revolt

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

The Arctic fox is a widely known
animal of the north frigid zone.
1t goes through color changes each
year. In the summer its coat is
brown or gray above, with white
hair on lower parts of its body.
In winter the brown or gray hair
turns to white.
The changes fit with the seasons.
In the summer the animal hunts
its food in meadows, where it can
find field mice. In winter, when
there is snow and ice all about, its
white coat matches with Nature.
There are times when Arctic
foxes cannot obtain enough
game" and at such times they
grow bold enough to go near places
where people are living. Eskimos
complain of these foxes coming to
their homes to steal food they have
saved for the winter.
An Arctic explorer was awak-
ened one day when he felt an ami
NAL gnawing at one of his seal
skin boots. 1t was an Arctic fox!
The same explorer reported that
another Arctic fox ran into camp
one day and tried to pull meat
right out of his hands.
Such stories give us an idea OF
the fight for food north of the
Arctic Circle. It is = 1ight more

OK, the big animal is doomed. For
this reason, musk-oxen usually
travel about in herds, and the
wolves do not dare to attack them.
The king of Arctic animals, at
least of those which spend much
time out of water, is the polar
bear. It has white or cream col
ored fur, and the color does not
change with the seasons.
Polar bears seldom attack other
animals. Their food is made up
mainly of fish and seals. They
move about freely on ice floating
in the sea, and are such expert
swimmers that they can travel
long distances through the water,
from floating ice to the land.

expect normally to set the five-dia-

the fact that you doubled clubs,
your partner could not double dia-

hope for is to set the five diamond

why five hearts cannot be made.
