THE MOSQUITO
The insect family, Culicidae, has
been fuily considered in Bulletin 21
of tne State Department of Health, |
Commonwea:th of Pennsylva-|
nia, March 1911, but presentation |
of the following metnods to prevent |
development in the various stages |
seems advisable in this Bulletin. i
‘I'ne campaign against mosquitoes
should reaily ve begun in winter, as
at this time the hivernating specics
are found in houses. ‘thorough
screening of the house with netting
or wire screens having 18 to 20
meshes to the inch, wil keep the
mosquitoes from getting indoors.
Should mosquitoes get in through
the opening of doors and windows, |
or through impeifect screening or!
absence of screens, their numbers
can be reduced by the use of a pad-|
dle made of an oolong sheet of wire |
gauze, tacked onto a strip of wood |
of suitable size to serve as a handle.
Daily persistence in this practice
will destroy them all. In order to
.destroy them in the house, either in
winter or in summer, the mixture
of carbolic acid crystals and gum
camphor which is described under
the subject of the House Fly, will
‘be found effectual.
In large cellars several portions’
should be prepared at the same time, |
in order to secure equal distribution
of the vapor and equal effect!
throughout the cellar. ‘The smoke
from smoldering pyrenthum paralyz- |
es the insect but does not kill and |
as the stupefied insects are difficult
to find, this is but a palliative meas-
.ure.
The burning of jimson weed
(stramonium) and saltpetre is rec-|
ommended. The space to be rid of |
‘mosquitoes must be tightly closed so |
that no fumes can escape for two
“hours. Three parts of powdered jim- |
son weed mixed with one part of |
.altpetre is spread in a layer one-
half inch thick, on a tin sufficiently |
large to hold all the mixture neces-|
sary or several tins may be SHO
ed. The powder is then ligh in|
several places and the fumes will |
shortly penetrate the 1,000 cubic feet |
of air space.
The mosquitoes found on the ceil-
of bed-rooms in the evening
may quickly be killed by means of a
shallow tin cup or jelly-glass cover-
‘nailed to the end of a stick and]
moistened inside with kerosene. This
is placed ler the mosquito which after the application of bituminous
either falls into or flies against the| oo. i015 to our highways has caus-
oil and is killed. i
Mosquitoes may be repelled by the |
burning of Chinese punk and by the |
less desirable application of equal |
of olive oil and oil of citronella |
to head, face, hands and ankles every
half hour or so. napthaline |
or tar camphor in the pockets is al- |
so of some use in keeping mosquitoes |
from the person. In case one is bit-
ten by mosquitoes the best antidotal |
application is a diluted solution of |
‘amber water applied to the bite as
soon as possible. However, the most
satisfactory means of fighting these |
insects are those directed to the de-
struction of the larvae and abate-
ment of the breeding places.
Since the mosquito does not fly
more than one-half mile from
breeding-place and apparently only
Tarly, 3a far as this, it is practically
possible for any locality to free it-
self by bringing about a crusade
against the mosquito within its own
territory and for one-half mile
around the same. The transference
of mosquitoes by winds over long
distances may occur and can not be

secretary of highways, states, “and |
I will immediately take steps (0

During 1931 a system of warning |
users of the highways that oil |
would be applied to certain high- |
ways within a limited time was in-
augurated by Secretary Lewis. The
warned in advance avoided a
great many sections immediately af- |
ter the oil had been placed Many
careless motorists, however, contin- |
ued to drive these sections at ex-
cessive speeds with the result that
bituminous materials and chips were
thrown from the road and many
other cars were discolored and dent-
ed by these materials flying from
the road.
Secretary Lewis stated that he
intends to erect barricades at the
tions and warn
of opera
motorists that they must slow down
while traveling those segtions of the
road which have been oiled.

If the highway department is un-,

these instructions it may be neces-

“I believe that a large percentage
of the motorists will be leased to
accede to our requests that they slow
down while over the sec-
tions which have been immediately
oiled,” Lewis said.

Sentiment in Banking
No sentiment in banking? Will you |
recall just one day's activity at your |
desk—what were the problems you
considered? Did they apply solely to,
the cold-blooded conduct of the affairs |
of your bank, weighing, measuring, |
analyzing, valuing securities, extend-
ing credit, driving the best bargains |
possible, having in mind only the mate- i
rial return from your day's labor? Cer-
| tainly such is not the case. I recall |
many days—happy days, too—in my
experience in a very small country
bank, in which I am sure not one-tenth
of my time was given to the real con-
sideration of the financial returns to
my institution,
.
Open Markets
1 believe in an open market for the |
modities and securities. But so long
as the actual rate for credit in this
country swings up and down according
to the demand for funds for specula-
tive purposes, little influenced by cen-
tral or other banking policy, then |
something is wrong somewhere. More-
over, it business is influenced—as is
almost universally charged —by the
state of public mind; and If the state
of public mind Is influenced, as in re
cent years it most certainly has been,
to run the scale from extreme optimism
to extreme pessimism according to the
characters on a ticker tape, then some-
thing is wrong with the public mind,
or the conduct of the forces back of
the tape. Those responsible must pro-

Doors in Ancient Times
Judging by lack of doors in the
great temples of Nineveh, Babylon and
Ephesus, also the Parthenon, there is
an impression that all the buildings of
ancient Greece and Rome were door-
less. In Pompeli and the Lateran ba-
silica, as well as several of the tem-
ples, is proof, however, that single
doors, double doors, and even sliding
doors were used In these early times.
But it is true that skins, linen veils,
tapestries, and silk curtains protected
the doorways of many dwelings then
as they still do in some parts of the
East to Insure privacy for the inhabi-
tants,
Burying Ground for Pets
A beautiful plot of ground near
Murphy, N. C., 1s dotted with compar-
atively expensive marble and granite
tombstones to mark the final resting
place of animal and bird pets of res-
idents ‘n this vicinity during the last
forty years. Among the inmates are
owls, cats, monkeys, dogs, squirrels,
parrots, bantams and a peacock. Many
of the graves are dotted with two
mounds, telling the story of the Ina-
bility of one mate to live long without
the other.

Star Nearest the Earth
The nearest fixed star is Alpha Cen
tauri, whose estimated distance is 25,
000,000,000,000 miles. At the rate of
186,400 miles a second its light re-
quires four years and 128 days to
reach the earth, while sound would
take more than 8,000,000 years. It is
sald that an express train
trom the star and moving uninterrupt-
edly at a uniform velocity of 37 miles
an hour, would not reach the earth in
less than 75,000,000 years.

Queen “Pretty Thing” Found
Dr. Selim Hassan found in the new
ly discovered fourth pyramid at Gizeh,
Egypt, the funeral chamber of “Pret-
ty Thing” She is believed to have
been the wife of the Pharaoh Khafra,
the fourth king of the fourth dynasty,
who ruled from 2867 to 2811 B. C.
Investigations revealed an opening to
the tomb large enough to enable a
man to enter, and that robbers had
removed all of the queen's mummy
except the head.

“It did not come in the war, but

We were given a wonderful reception
and in one city I was on the platform
and had to make a speech. When I
had finished our chaplain arose and
to my amazement and horror an-
pounced that Mlle. Clementine, the
famous dancer who was traveling
with me, would entertain with some
of her inimitable dances.
“And how she danced, while I sat
there in horror, knowing that my rep

“Imagine, then, my relief when,

and I recognized the close-cropped

of my very masculine soldler-cook and

Big Surprise in Store
for That Unknown Girl
A Cleveland girl on her vacation,
and traveling on the railroad for the
first time In her life, was startled
when the waiter in the dining car re
marked :
“You haven't ridden with us lately,
nave you?”
She didn’t bother to tell him he haa
(he wrong person, He continued:
“what has become of that girl thay
ased to travel with you?”
“Oh,” said the imaginative Cleve |
@nd girl, “haven't you heard? Why,
she went to Europe and married an
English nobleman with millions.”
“Why.” he returned, “I thought she
~as married already!”
“She was,” the girl returned, glibly,
‘hut her husband eloped with a movie
actress, so she divorced him.”
And she calmly ordered dessert, ana
gave herself up to pleasant reflections
as to what would happen when the
unknown girl boarded the train one
of these days.—Oleveland Plain Dealer.
Record Group of Statesmen
Elson says: “An abler body ot
statesmen has not assembled in mod-
ern times than that which made our
Constitution in 1787, nor has any as-
sembly met with truer motives, or pro-
duced a grander result. The whole
number of delegates was 55, and there
was scarcely a man among them who
had not been distinguished In the state
or in the field, who had not been a
governor, a member of congress, or A
commander In the army. A few had
served in the Stamp Act congress In
1765, others had set their names to
the Immortal Declaration in 1776, and
one had framed the plan of union at
Albany in 1754. Could these men have
looked Into the future they would have
seen two of their own number become
Presidents of the United Stites, one a
Vice President and many others foreign
ministers, members of the Supreme
court, cabinet officials and United
States senators.”

piter, an orange, at a distance of half
a mile; Saturn, a smaller orange,
four-fifths of a mile away; Uranus,
a small plum, one and a half miles
away, and Neptune, a larger plum at
a distance of two and a half miles.—

Bugle Old Instrument
The origin of the bugle, In common
with that of the hunting horn, is of
the remotest antiquity, writes Willlam
C. White, United States army band
leader, Sixteenth Infantry, In the
United States Recruiting News, Tubas,
horns, cornets and bugles have as com-
mon archetype the horn of the ram,
bull or other animal, whose form was
copled and modified in bronze, wood,
brass and silver. Of all these instru-
ments, the bugle has In the highest
retained the acoustic proper-
ties and the characteristic scale of the
prototype, and Is stiil put to the orig-
inal use for giving military signals.
Soldiers Refused Votes
Many of the soldiers of the Revolu
tionary army never cast a ballot In
the Republic they had helped estab-
lish, because of property qualifica-
tions required for voting. New York's
constitution permitted no man to vote
for governor who did not own land
worth $500 free of debt. In 1800
Tammany ball bought land for mem-
bers to enable them to qualify for
voting. The organization obtained
a majority in the common council In
this manner.

| Not man-short—as it was when |

short enough to make neat rolls or |

Neater, simpler coiffures are the
| thing. Loose, blowy crirls straggling
| down at the nape of the neck are,

But just what to do with hair?
Well, listen to Theodore, coiffure to
| many New York fashionables (and
| Helen Chandler and Claudette Col-/
pert when they're in town).
“Cut the back to about an inch
| or at most an inch and a half long," |
| says he. (That's long enough for the |
| new, flat, PSeUlt pel curls that
| Paris and Ina re are wearing or |
| for a soft upturned roll. |
| “Keep the waves soft and flat to
| the head,” he'll go on. (And usually |
| that means the much neglected busi- |
| ness of thinning-out underneath.)
“And, of course,” he'll tell you,
| “hair must be arranged particularly |
| well on the left side since most hats |
tilt to the right.”
If you have a piquant Helen
| Chandler kind of face, perhaps, like
| her, you'll want your ears to show. —
| According to Theodore, she likes
her coiffure changed often but al-|
ways wants her ears exposed.
Claudette Colbert, on the other
| hand, has the same coiffure week
| after week,—two deep dips on the
| right and one to the left.

Simple coiffures are best unless
| you have plenty of time (and mon-
ey) to spend on hair dressing. But
for special occasions the sculptured |
| curls plastered close to the head are
smart. Or a whole line of soft little
| curls running straight up the back
| of the head.
If your features are regular
| enough and not too round, hair
| brushed straight and smoothly back
| with just the ends curled up is new
| and different. Carole Lombard wears

| fact,” says this authority, “the need
| for economizing has proved to many
| women that a fur coat which, if
| cared for properly, will last some-
| times as long as six years is a much
| wiser investment than the cloth coat
| fur-trimmed which supplanted the
| fur coat for a few seasons, but
which is seldom good for more than
two years at best. Furthermore,

—While the printed chiffon frock
for afternoon and evening during
the warm months has always been
| a classic, the ubiquituous cotton has
| invaded this field and we frequently
| see in the smart shops the light-
| weight printed cottons used in place
| of chiffon.
| -—One of the accessory points
| stressed in the mid-season collection
| in Paris was the tie-up between the
hat band and belt on summer sport |
| dresses. While the idea is not new, |
| the material employed is. A number
|of the important houses showed
velvet belts and hat bands with
linen or pique dresses, and this is
a new novel fashion touch. Black
velvet on white dresses and hats
appeared to be the most popular,
and we can look for this new com-
bination of both color and mater-
jal for sport in our own summer
fashions.
—The knitted wool jumper, the
one that's just about ideal for golf
when worn with a flannel skirt—can
be had in solid colors or many col-
ors.
Plaid or str wools of t,
loose weaves, featuring the bright
Algerian shades of red, blue, green
and yellow, make any costume as
gay as you like it.
— While most jumpers either don't
fasten at all or fasten straight
in the front, some of them close
way over at the left side. Some
others are made like a man's waist-
coat, in double-breasted effect, end-
ing in points below the waist.
Some have round neck or square
instead of the usual V-shape. And
some are quite detailed, like the
jumper originated by Goupy, the
Paris couturier.
This is an especially good type of
jumper to choose if you're planning
any kind of boat trip. It's a little
warmer and more protective than
the others. It's of flannel with con-
trasting belt.
You'll find these jumpers useful,
too, if you go in for riding or for
camping or any sport where you
wear trousers or breeches. They look
fine, pulled over the tailored shirt
and snugly belted.
