Snooping On Flies The living habits of disease - carrying flies are being charted in Britain with the help of radio- active shots. in the experimental laboratory of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research types of flies that spoil food and cause intestinal trouble are bred by the hundreds of thousands.

Neighborhood butcher shops, hospitals, schools and fisb- mong'rs have meanwhile bean baited with liver and traps After a few days the traps are collected, the tiles gassed and re- turned to the laboratory. Geiger counters detect those of the ori- ginal batch, so that it can be determined whether and when the flies flew. One fact already established is that blow -flies move over a populous area at a minimum rate of a mile a day, stopping at food establishments, shops, hospitals, scltonls and canteen: en route. fie was quarreling with his wife, and nht doing any too well.

ISSUE 3 - 1952 Kept Camera Turning Twenty -Five Years When Suekitighatn Palace needed a small boy at the Cor- onation festivitles'of King George V to light the official -match to set off the fireworks, the choice fell on the then Prime Minis-„ ter's youngest eon, a bird -bright child named Anthony Asquith. Today, this tame Anthony As- quith Is practically the ,0n1y movie -maker in Britain who has battled all the way from fiickery silents to the TV" age. Ansi it's appropriate that the first full- scale British movie to be made in the new Elizabethan reign was his star-studded Technicolor Production of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance' a.Being Earnest:'! You con count on 'one hand the movie directors who have work- ed out a quarter-century in the studios , . and survived. Cecil B. de Mille, Alfred Hitchcock and then who? Anthony Asquith • enters these distinguished ranks fresh with the laurels he gained by making "The Browning Ver- sion." And` the movies steadily revive spchformer triumphs of his aa ' Pygntat.ipn,'I "The Win- slow Boy,' "Fanny by Gaslight," and "French Without Tears." An,.eminent cnitil once listed Britain's six best movie directors and accidentally omitted Asquith. - Then his "The Woman in Ques- tion" hit the screen, Jean Kent starred as -a woman seen through the eyes of different people, . a demonstration of Asquith's ,vir- tuosity in getting six different performances out of one acteess, In handsome apology, the critic reprinted his list with Asquith's name first! Irl: the studios, Asquith wears a tough -looking boiler suit, but works amid polite efficiency. With puckish charm, he allays bursts of Artistic •. temperament; Most directors ;yell the tradi- tion: "Cameral'"3'ioll 'end" As- quith merely calls, • "I'm ready when yom are!" Old friends are apt to appear.again and again in his pictures 'Mn.`Asgiiith al- ways tries to find a part for me," says a veteran actresss;He's had her ite ewery for toentv-t?v e years.. - Chapacteristically, Ailthany Asquith was ' once hauled into Court for speeding, but weld not leave before he bad paid the fine in the case ahead of hint,, a poor man charged with not having a dog licence. Such ges- tures have endeared him to the film industry. No other movie -maker ever started with the strange initial disadvantage of having a father — the famous "wait and see" Asquith — who had been eight years Prime Minister, Brought up as the youngest child in • a household that blended states- manship and scholarship. Lady Oxford and Asquith considered discipline for 'young Anthony unwise. Politicians sometimes looked up from their anxious deliberations to gaze in horror at a small boy swinging reck- lessly from the plane tree out- side the window, apparently about to break his neck. At the, age of sbc "little Put - fin" danced a Spanish dance with great verve before assembled politicians in tha' Cabinet monk at. No, 10, At eleven, fifth born' self-assurance, he gave a lecture on the consttuetion of aircraft. Yet, until he won a scholar- ship to Oxford, he had rarefy seen a movie. Then they fasci- nated him so much that he al- most °forgot his exams, He went out to .Hollywood. stayed with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks at Pickfair, played the piano to Chaplin and bacdance)ti,d trWithains ,LiliAnthoap ny Gish. Bthub Asqui soon found that anyone train- ing in pictures earl to be highly adaptable. When a double was needed "for the star in a picture about .Boadicea, he donned e shaggy blonde wig and skirts, stepped imperiously into a char- iot and careered madly acres* Salisbury Plain! Ultimately, he directed some of the earliest English films that gained world intention. Once he even wrote a script with Win- ston Churchill for a 'ISot'da film - life of King George V. In fact, Anthony Asquith has made more Ohms !ban he ever: remembers. Yet, after twenty-five ,yeas Asquith still considers his fu- ture pictures more important than those he's completed.
