Tragedy
She was This baby—bone of a3.4 bone,
Blood of his blood—and beautiful,
Yet elle scorned 'him. Their eyes 'nlet,
i-teld for a moment. His hands reach-
ed
eached out,
Her dark eyes gleamed mockingly and)
With a eneer upon her lips she turn-
ed
urned aside.
As the door opened she left Mini --
Hands outstretched—staring. Some-
thing
,napped in the soul of the main.
His face graying—his lips twitching,
yet
No sound fell from them. His blood
ran
loy cold as deep in his ,soul he !dug
A grave and reverently plated therein
, The memory of the dark -eyed, scorn-
ful girl.

Be Careful
In speaking of a person's faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should never throw a stone.
If we have nothing else to do
Than talk of those who sin;
'Tis better we commence at home
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge a man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know tete world is wide.
Some say havefaults, and who has not,
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may for aught we know
Have fifty to their one.
Then let us all when we begin
To slander friend or foe,
Think of harm one word may db
To those we little know.
Remember curses, sometimes like
Our chickens, roost at home;
Don't speak .of other's faults until
We have none of our own.

Our ]Enemy, the Fly
From two things, the adage lees it,
none of us is exempt: death and tax-
es. The naturalist might add a gird:
nen- Buzzing at the sunny windows,
hovering hungrily over the dinner
table, flies are so Inevitably a part
of warms -weather existence that most
of un- accept them casually.
We pay for thin indifference more
dfearly than We know. We pay for
it with outbreaks of cholera and an-
thrax, with typhoid, trachoma, tuber-
culosis, and with muoh of the intx-
pli•ca,ble summer dysentery of our
babies. Musca domestica, the hota -
fly, is as deadly an enemy as we
could entertain.
Our housefly starts life as a tiny
egg.,,,much smaller than a pinhead,
deposited by a female fly in.a manure
pile or in any rotting refuse. Within
24 hours it hatches forth es a trans-
parent legless' grub. Before a day has;
pabsed its size has so tremendously
increased that its inelastic skin can
no longer contain the body. The skin
therefore splits, and the grub crawls
out to grow a new one. •Three times
within as many days this splitting
and shedding of old skins occurs, and
then on the fourth day, its transpar-
ent color changed to a dull white, it
crawls away from its feeding place
and burrows into the ground.
During this underground burial of
about three days, there form inside
the pupal jacket the striped body, the
six legs, the two veined. wings, the
multi -faceted eyes — a tremendous
metalmorphosis for so short a time.
Then the pupa bursts and the'a'klult
fly emerges. Tunneling upward,,it
comes out into the sunlight, ready—
when its wings have dried and stiff-
ened—for its eight or ten weeks of
adult life. e
From egg to adult has taken less
than ten days. And this adult fly is
ready immediately for breeding. If
a female, in ?:ss than a week it will•
probably lay its first batch of 100
dr more eggs, repeating at ten-day
intervals, In view of this speed and
of the houaeiiyee vast fecundity, it
becomes apparent how huge bbe tribe
would grow were it unchecked. Nine
generations is average in the sea-
son from mid-April to September.
The offspring of a single pair of
houseflies .in that time, if all lived,
would amount to the astronomical fig-
ure of 335,923,200,000,000 fifes.
The adult housefly's life is no pret-
tier spectacle for the squeamish than
was its infancy. Its prime Concern
is food. It relishes with equal en-
thusiasm decaying garbage or other
filth and the lumps of sugar ore your
dinner table. And it flies directly
from one kind of food to the other,
a disturbing fact in view of its high-
ly specialized anatomy a.nd physiol-
ogy.
In rho first place its entire body
is covered with a tangle df fine, clo: e -
growing hairs; and similar hairs
grow on wings, lege and feet, Tho
fly is thus equippers with the finost
of catchails. In the second place,
there is the extraordinary structure
of its feet- Each foot is equipped
with an adhesive pari of sticky hairs.
It is by means of these that the fly
negotiates slippery polished surfaces
so nimbly and can w alk upside doe n
on ceilings; but it is also by means
of these sticky pads that it picks up
a.nd transmits myriad germs.
Furthermore, the mouth parts of
the Housefly are a. pair eaf soft, fleshy
lobes at the end of its proboscis.
There is no chewing mechaniem. (The
flies that bite you sometimes in mug-
gy weather are not houseflies, but an-
other variety called tabanids). Ac-
cordingly, a fly can feed on e lump
of sugar only by first softening it. To
do this the fly regurgitates on the su-
gar a drop of fluid from its last-di-
geeteld meal. It is this gruesome
antic that the fly is performing at
our dinner 'table when he seems to
be exploring the sugar �bowi; these
regurgitated droplets, together with
the insect's excreta, make up the "fly-
specks" that are every housewife's,
plague.
Such, then, is the life story of the
fly --a creature born and matured in
filth, and uniquely equipped for trans-
mitting that filth wherever it may go,
Its danger to man can hardly be ov-
erstated. "In the case of more than
thirty Jifreirent disease organisms,"
says Dr. L. O. Howard, consulting
entomologist of the United States
Public Health Service, "laboratory
proof exists that they are carried by
the fly." Doctored and writers in mele
iced journale,l'ikewise have 'repeatedly
and emphatically pointed out its great
menace to national health. Careful
tests have shown that the 'bacteria
on the hairy body of a single 'fly xnay
number as many as five million and
that a single buzzing Musca dom-
estica can infect a whole household.
What can we do about it.? ,The
answer is that, while as, Individuals
we can accomplish a 'good deal, as
whole communities acting together
we can accomplish. much more. Flies
are migrants: recent tests in Dallas
revealed that a flight of 13 miles is
Eby no means beyond the fl'y'e ability.
It will do tittle good, therefore, for
the citizens in a tow'n's 'residential
section to battle against i'houseflies if
a few miles away there is an unseal -

Lary dump or exposed manure pile
where" they breed by billions. Old-
fashioned privies should be screened
and borax used; no leakage above
ground should be allowed from eess-
pools. •
All town dwellers, ,however, must
co-operate if this menace is to be re-
moved, We must see that our gar-
hage cans are of metal and tightly
covered. We must make sure that
our town or city disposes of its garb -
nee by incineration and not by dump-
ing. We must fight continuously,
against adult flies that get into our
housiy's, wielding the old-fashioned
swatter, spraying, using flypaper.
Especially in the late fall should
we do a thorough job. Eggs laid then
live dormantly through the winter
and make possible the year-to-year
conitn'uane of the fly tribe.
Musca domestiea, of coarse, like ev-
ery other creature under heaven, has
tits natural enemies. A part, of our
fight should be to •encourage these.
Although it may go against the grain,
we ought, for instance, to protect
spiders. probably the housefly's most
effective enemy, and also toads, liz-
ards and salamanders. Above all, we
ought to encourage birds. It would
he impossible to reckon how many
houseflies are devoured by such 'ex-
pert aerial hunters as the swallows
and swifts, or how many eggs and
larvae are con_aum,ed by vireos, ori-
oles. nuthatches abed chickadees. Pet-
ting out suet and bread crumbs for
birds in winter, and offering suitable
neat sites in thcf spring, aro import -
steps in the anti -fly campaign..
The ancient Greeks sacrificed an
ox to Musca dmestica every year at
Actium, and the Syrians of antiquity
made similar propitiations. But, de-
spite his long and deadly presence in
our midst, there is every hope that,
with effopt, we may one day enter
'into that blissful era, prophesied in
the Koran, "when all the flies Shall
have perished, except one."
