This question Is one thnt has boon argued time and time niraln In this cltv, not only In private life, but In the courts Itesldcnts of that section ftsfctl positively that it has a very emphatic mul exclusive odor. To prove the point, several enthusi ast, recently plRced a wager thAt n stranger In the clt could find West Phil adelphia bv "following his nose."

"Come" ho s-ild. "1 will ttiUo ou to West Philadelphia."

"It Is Just the West Phllsdrlphlans burn ing punk.

"I refuie to so further." tho stranger objected, 'unless mt provide respirators to protect us from these poisonous Bases " After some dlcusHlon and much experi menting, handkerchiefs were bound tlRhtly about the heads of each member of tho pnrn In a manner t lint com pletely protected their noses. Cautiously they crossed the bridge t'pon the oppo site shore of the river they discovered long rows of pens filled with pigs nnd sheep.

A moment later the delegation had re crnssed the rier tn West l'lilliidellila. On the banks of the Schuvlklll, at Vith street, thev saw the plant of a i eduction comianv, but there the cnbbngp odor wns lcs overpoweiliiK. Within 10 min utes thev were passing the neighbor hood of ISth and Walnut streots. where they saw numeious vacant lots over which it cloud of mosquitoes hung, threat ening a crew of workmen who were clear .

On every hand the glow of, tho HintldRes was to be seen, while tho odor of cltronelln and burning punk was as strong as ever, only giving nny now and again to the aroma of fer tilizer. Finally they came to a stream from the swampy margins of which millions of mosquitoes loseto greet the new comers. "Cobb's Creek," one of the party ex plained "So much rain that the ground jan't take up the water, nnd the whole "business Is one big marsh. Now drlie to Falrmount Tark." "No. no'" the stranger cried In des peration, as he slapped at some hundreds of mosquitoes feasting on hjs ankles. "No, drlvo us to Ilroad Street Station.

It wns a very li.irmonlou. hirsute ndoininent ' and wns what might ba called ennservu tle. Manv persons admired the mus- ! tnohe, nnd It wns tho subject of much comment when Moure dropped In the sa loon of Wllllum Carroll, of Wlngohock ing nnd Adams streets. Dut Cnrroll himself did not join in tho ndmiratlon. In fact, ho wns apposed to tile growth on Moore's lip, and, to show his disapproval, ho reached for a pair of scissors and snipped half tho mustache olt when .Moore wasn't looking. The lat ter was Indignant and declared that ho wo'ild have satisfaction. Friends told him ho could remedy matters by having the other half of tho mustache sinned off, but Moore scouted the idea. Tho more Moore thought of tho offense, tho more angry ho became, and finally ho swore out a warrant for Carroll's nr rest. Carroll had a hearing before Magis trate Beaton and was held in $!00 hail. Despite the fact that .Moore's mustache Is now much more than when It was originally cut off, ho was decidedly un forgiving. That the larceny of one's mustache, or even half a mustache, is not con sidered lightly Is shown by court records. About a jear ago a mjn wns awarded $1000 damages becauso another cut off the growth on his upper Up ns a result of a dare. This was shown at the hear ing bv William T. Connor, Moore's counsel. Therefore, a precedent has been estnb llsned llxing the value of a mustache at $1COO. To bo consistent, therefore, bar bers should pay for tho privilege of re moving such things Instead of chnrglng 10 nnd 15 cents per Up, it is bcllovcd. Mustaches nro valuable. Many an ar dent swain lias won a wife through a carefully trained mustache. Youths who feel down In the mouth might thereforo he encouraged.

Tho name or tho latest visitor Is Felix something or other, or perhaps it Is Pulex Canln, which makes quite clear tho fact that It Is related to Fldo's fleas. Not that' Pulex will admit It.

Of course, you must know that all this conversation In about house liens, little black Insects that nature has equipped with beak bayonets, but jou may not know that there Is a way to get rid of them. The plan Is recommended by Herman Ifornlg. the city entomologist, which means bugologlst, and it Is quite simple As a matter of fact, there are several plans Considering that the whole army of Pulex Cunln, or houbo tlea. Is now In the city, it might be well to use all of them meaning the plans. Tlie best. Mr. Hornig says, is to wrap your bare legs In fly paper and walk around until you get diziy. The Idea tahlnd this is that the fleas hurling them selves voraciously at your bare legs will become entangled In the fly paper. If this plan doesn't work take off the fly paper and put In on sticky sldo out. Tho PHEFRItS SISTER TO MAX'S L0VK Magistrate Grelis Persuades Girl to Give Up Sweetheart for Faithful Nurse Catherine McIIUenny, 19 years old, stood In' the Twenty-sixth and York streets station today with tears streaming; down her face trlng to decide bet wean the love of a young man she did not know ery well and the love of her sister who had cared for her since she was a baby two years old. Magistrate Orel is ad vlied her to give the young man up and keep the friendship of her sister. She took his adviee. The girl lived with her sister, lira. Minnie Hogers. at 123 Federal street. She fail In love. Mrs. Hogers disapproved. Than the slaters quarreled, Ctbrjtte left her home, the police say, awl went to Uv at a boarOlne bouse where her sweetheart resided, near Utb and Dauphin streets. The slaters net last Tuesday on the street and quarreled again They were arrested Magistrate Orells released Catherine iu the melody of her sister and the two lelt the courtroom la eeveh there arum- fleas cannot bo expected to bore all tho wnj through It to get at tho sticky. Insect powder also Is useful. It should bo put In all looms whero Pulex has been seon, two inches thick Pulex breathes through his nose, eyes, ears, pores and islands, llo Is tho most persistent breather of the Insect kingdom. Doing no In the insect powder, his breathing nppnratus will become clogged and he will fall or helplessly. AVlth tho old of n mugulfjlng glass, he may then bo sought out and strangled to diath with tho naked hands. West and South Philadelphia aro tho happy hunting grounds of Pulex, Just as thej wcto of tho cntci pillars masquerad ing as army worms, and tho mosquitoes. Other parts of the city also aro af fected, however. Pulex Is showing little fnvoiltlsm. In some parts af tho city he Is becoming so much a part of the scenery that tho natives aro making sport of him, betting on how high ho can Jump. This height naturally varies, and Is gauged by tho size of the particular flea, Pulex can Jump about 1SU times his own height, und therein lies tho secret of de feating him. The house flea. It has been shown, never feed on nny part of the human anatomy but the legs or feet becauso those parts aro nearest the floor save in families whose members walk on nil fours, or on their hands. Therefore, to nonplus, hu miliate, foil nnd defeat Pulex, all that Is necessary Is a pair of stilts. These stilts should bo 151 times as big as the biggest Ilea they arc Intended to nonplus, humiliate, foil end defeat. Tho extra size Is what will beat him. Sim ply catch Pulex, Kill him by ono qf the recognized methods and then use him as a tape measure to figure out tho length of tho stilts. When ho can't get at your legs he will Btarve to death and you can sweep him nnd all his brothers and sisters Into the streets. Kerosene poured on tho damp spots of the cellar will prevent tho eggs from hatching, according to Mr. Homig. If there are no damp spots in the cellar It is not advlsuble to make them merely for the sake of pouring coal oil.

After the hearing the young woman, who is Miss I-a Rue MacGowan, of Bryn Mawr, director of the dispensary at the Unheraity Settlement House, ath apd Lombard streets, was released In the cus tody of her attorney, Qeorge Orr, for a further hearing. Through her attorney she waived the hearing rather Indig nantly and the case wilt go to court. John O'Brien, who is 10 years old, was caught by Miss MacGowan going over the wall surrounding the settlement house last Friday night She says there was not a mark on him when she con ducted hUn through, tho regular exit and sent him home, but when he arrived at bts home he had a deep cut In his right arm that required Ave stltchea to close.

NO, BUT SEEKERS OF NOVELTY HAVE HOPE Sight of a Gas Buoy Fires Them With Idea They Are in Presence of a Sub marine SOCIETY FOLK FROLIC ill n Ulnff Correspondent ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 19 Summer visitors nre full of curiosity and aro not ciislly frightened. They nio alwnjs look ing for something to happen, and if the expected thrill is glcu them they tako It ns a natural eent and rusli off for something new. Since the early part of the season ninny peoplo havo been purchasing mnrlno glusses nnd dally scnnnlng the horizon in tho hopo thut they might sec a war vessel of some kind. They were buoyed up with hopo by frequent leports from n wlrclehs station, on ono of the piers, which stated that con creations between foreign vessels wero dally picked up by the operators and that these vessels weio within tho CO-mllo zone. Notwithstand ing tho fnct that the only vessels that come within rnngo of vision from tills city are coal-laden barges, a low bouth bound passenger steami'iu and Innumer able, llshlng craft, tho dally scanning of the ocean has been kept up. Yesterday thero seemed to be Eomo confirmation of tho stories about tho United States Government having ar ranged for n scries of experiments In tho Inlet with n new tjpo of submarine, when a huge, circular mass of Iron was louded on a Government tug at tho Inlet. The news spread that n small submarine was to bo tested and hundreds of peoplo wont to tho Inlet to seo It. They wcro Informed that tho mysterious-looking ob ject wns nothing but a gas buoy to be placed at tho new channel entrance from tho ocenn. T.ntor in tho day tho curious did get a glimpbo of a submarine vessel, hut It wns of an obsolete type, ono of tho Hol land submarines, which had been brought horo for exhibition purposes. Hvery one who got a glimpse at It seemed Just as well tntlsned as If It had been a sure enough up-to-date submarine, and the genuine artlelo would not have created uny more excitement.
