ut F4 MOU ABOUT FHes Feur W8ds of plsin cotton to turn the trick. No, they don’i catch the flies and smother them with lint— they simple fasten the cotton on their door screens and that does the trick. “Mrs. Raby reports that the method is effective.

It seems that housewives there have found cotton on their screens an effective weapon against flies. “When Mrs. Caleo returned home, she tried the remedy and it worked for her. Neighbors who had scoffed at the idea also tried it and found it effective. “ ‘I simply haven’t seen a flj' on the screen since I put that cot ton up.” Mrs. Caleo said. -On other cloudy days like yesterday,’ she e.\plained, ‘flies would hover on the back screen reajy to pounce in three or four at a time when the door was open ed. But not yesterday.’ “The cotton miraculously seem ed to change all that. The flies stayed away. Occasionally the bolder ones wouM fly over to see if the cotton were still there, and would then retreat. While they might pause on- the side o: the house, none stopped to rest on the door. “How or w'hy a hunk of plain absorbent cotton ’about the size of the palm of a hand’—^With no chernicals on it—would drive flies away when pinned to a screen door, no one seems to have figured out. “ ‘Housewives in Richmond were throwing away their spray guns as fast as they pinned on the wads of cotton,’ Mrs. Caleo said. ‘But I wasn’t quite that sure until 1 found out for myself that the scheme really Works. I don’t know why, but it m.ust work ev- Qvy time.’ “Mrs. Caleo said that the cotton can be placed anyw'here on the screen and fastened by a safety pin, hair pin, bobby pin, or any thing that will hold it on. , “The day after the first story about the Cotton w-ad fly remedy "Our sales have been running around 1,100,000 pounds a day for the past several weeks,’’ Sales Supervisor M. R. Alexander pointed out, “but our last sale dropped to 853,927, so we should I be able to accomodate all comers I from now on. ‘‘In fact,” he continued, “they won’t even have to bother to book space in the future. They can just come on in, sell the same day, pock^ their check, and go home that night.” N. C., Route 1 (Antloeh). 16-17P FOR SALE: 1940 Tudor Chev. ^ Sedan with 1942 motor, radio : and heater.
