Show Our Flies and Mosquitoes. They were discussing the fact that there are no flies or ' mosquitoes in New York except in the parks and perhaps in a few places where the standard of cleanliness is not held high enough, according lo the New York Press. "I don't think it is quite true," drawled the western man, "that there are no flies or mosquitoes in New York, but there aren't enough to go around. There are so many people that they outnumber the insects and there isn't even one fly apiece for you. Now, I'd like to ask if each of you hasn't seen at least one mosquito this season." Reluctantly the New Yorkers York-ers admitted that each had such an experience. "Then that is your mosquito. mos-quito. You may have another this year. If you should have you would be robbing some other fellow, who then would not have any and who would stoutly maintain that there are . none In your fair city, There are several sev-eral millions of you. Now, several millions of mosquitoes or flies would make a big showing. In a small town. Every citizen would have all he could possibly use, but spread out over New York they don't make much of a show." |
