MOSQUITOES SHOULD BE EXIBMED I Dr. Dixon Says That Now Is the Time to Start the Fight Against Pests Xow is the time to start the light on mosquitoes If people would be free of the pests during the good old sum mer time, according to Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, the State Commissioner of Health. The commissioner has been studying the night-singing insect for many years and soon after he assumed i ollice began a series of experiments j looking to extermination of the bugs, i lie made a series of tests on his own | property, near Philadelphia, by plac- j ing ducks on ponds and dams and found that the fowl were the greatest destroyers of the larvae. ThesiT are the commissioner's ideas about fighting mosquitoes: "Mosquitoes born now not only live all summer, but each female lays, ac- i i ordjng to the species, about 150 eggs. These, multiplied by the generations of a season, would add up to millions of mosquitoes. As their breeding sea son has begun, we must be diligent in our efforts to destroy their breeding ylaces. Should we fail in our efforts ,ve will be annoyed by their buzzing GUARDING DUTCH NEUTRALITY. A SENTRY ON THE HOLLA Iff* BELGIUM FRONTIER. (Frtes Department, Eastman Kodak Company.) WEDNESDAY EVENING, !and their biting and by an increase of malaria fever, and should yellow fever be introduced to our shores it would make for a serious epidemic. "The battle must at once. If | we have to use rain barrels for our water supply, they should be care fully netted so that the mosquito can j not reach the water and lay its eggs. if fresh pools exist about our places j they should be tilled up or drains i should be laid carrying away the rain water and not permit it to collect and become stagnant. If our swamps are too large to drain and till up, they should be treated with petroleum, so that the oil will prevent the larva of the mosquito from reaching the at mosphere to breed. It will then drown for the want of oxygen. "In country places ducks, particu larly' mallards, will do much to keep down mosquito pests, as they are very fond of the larva and puna. "Tomato cans, sardine boxes, broken cups, any vessel that will hold the rain water, will afford favorable breed | Ing places for mosquitoes. One to | mato can half full of water will be j sufficient for the rearing of thousands j of mosquitoes. "The saucers under the flower pots I in and around our houses offer favor | able, breeding places. Water vessels i that are set out for birds and animals are often found full of mosquito larva. Therefore such receptacles ought to j have the water changed daily so as to j destroy any eggs that may be laid in i them. Water pitchers In rooms that are only occasionally used have often been found fertile breeding places, and where houses were well screened they were filled with mosquitoes, ow ing to the fact that maybe one or two female mosquitoes had found access to the water In these pitchers of a spare chamber." LOCAL OPTION BILL ON FINAL VOTE IN HOUSE [Continued from First Page.] business and political interests blocks the popular will. After Mr. Williams" speech tho House. on motion of Mr. Kitta. Erie, rescinded Its action limiting speech. Kllta* Bitter Speech Mr. Kitta. Erie, remarked so much had been said, on "this monotonous question" that anything said now waa like "graveyard wind." Members, he said, had been haunted by It and he desired to make an oration at the lay ing of the ghost. "I come hero to represent mv con stituents and not Martin G. Brum baugh," said Mr. Kitta, who then de clared the local option movement was "political hysteria, inspired by the Go vernor of this State." He said the issue was settled last November. "You know. It, 1 know It and the Governor knows , it." asserted he. Mr. Kitts then protest ed against "clogging the wheels of the Legislature" with an lasue decided by the people who voted on the question lait November. Mr. Kitts asserted that 1 ii men had been elected against local option. Tho county unit was assailed by Mr. Kitta. who said it would give back woods districts an unfair power. The Krio man voiced a B roc est against im pressions given about conditions In Pennsylvania b.v advocates of local op tion and said that extreme eases had boen cited. The present law he raid -waa ample for the State and he charged that the manner of objecting to it had brought about disrespect for the judiciary. Crowd Hiisra Vim Sharp criticism of the attitude of the throng that gathered here for the lo cal option bill hearing on Auril C was made by Mr. Kitts. He then said the locai option movement was a re flection of "religious hysteria Inspired by 'Billy' Sunday." When he charged that Sunday was out for the "almighty dollar" his statement brought out a storm of hisses from the crowd. Ministers who had preached and prayed for local option were denounc ed for the extreme stand they had taken on the liquor issue by Mr. Kitts. He made a plea for the compensation idea to accompany local option and said the business had been recognized by the general assembly. Called Y. M. C. A. "Rabble'' The Erie man said that he prefer red to trust the liquor question to "the wisdom of the broad-minded judi ciary" than to "the rabble of the Y. M. C. A„ the women's clubs and the Anti-saloon League." Mr. Kitts denied that "any liberal minded Democrat" was bound by the Democratic State platform and said the Republican platform did not re fer to local option. He sharply criti cized the method of adopting tho Dem ocratic platform last year. In closing the Erie man declared members should stand up despite "co ercion" or threats by the Executive to stump districts of men who opposed the bill. (■raliam Speaks Mr. Graham, Philadelphia, in a brief speech declared he felt that the time bad come to put tho restrictions on the sale of' liquor the people demand to day. He remarked that the members had their minds made tip and that tho host that could he done was to vote. Air. Beyer Philadelphia, said that he intended to vote as ills constituents desired and that lie would he a weak ling if he was led any other way. "Too Many l<aws" Mr. Beyer spoke for "personal lib erty" saying that the local option is sue had behind it the"evils of religious persecution." He declared that the policy embodied in the bill "brutal izes government and discredits the church." Further on the Philadel phia member asserted it is not the function of the legislature or the Governor to teach men to be indus trious and sober, but rather that of the clergy. There is a tendency to make too many laws, said he, and then remarked that time had been consumed over local option which should have been employed in enacting important legislation. Governor Brumbaugh's attitpde in behalf of the bill was assailed by Mr. Beyer as "objectionable" and he said ! that he questioned the propriety of! some of his efforts. his speech, Mr. Beyer declared that It j was not for the Legislature to pass i too many restrictive laws and that there were lines of demarkatlon be-! tween the executive and legislative j branches of the government. Men opposed to local option have Arm opinions about the right of the : people to rule and the people ex- i pressed themselves at the last elec- j tlon, said he. Mr. Beyers said that what the state j needed was more religion and less j politics, and, carrying out the refer- [ endum idea in the local option bill, [ he said, the people could demand to j vote on Sunday baseball, moving pic- ! tures, vaccination and amusements on i the Sabbath with as much justice as on the licensing of liquor. Members Kat Lunch During the speeches a number of j the members bad lunches brought in i and sat at their desks munching sand- I wiches while the orators went on. Shortly before 1 o'clock Mr. Her man, Wyoming, began to speak in be half of the bill, saying that he felt the question was so important that the members would endure the debate to , the end. The principle underlying | local option is nonpartisan and if en- j acted will restore popular rule. Mr. j Merman declared that in his opinion j the time had conte for the people to ! have their way. The organized liquor dealers, he said, had throttled the will i of the people In years gone by. Mr. Ramsey. Delaware, said he felt j that no speech could change a vote and called attention to the fact that the Republican platform did not con tain any reference to local option. • Defends Liquor Lobby The issue was carried into the No vember election and the people having ruled on it at that time it is not a ques tion of popular rule now. He said that if a vote had been taken a week after the session began there would have been an overwhelming majority against the bill. Since then there has been a remarkable change for the measure backed by the Governor. Members must answer for their votes at home. Mr. Ramsey asked if it was any worse for the liquor people to have*a lobby than for the Governor of this state to send "his servants" out through the state lobbying for the bill. The Delaware man called the at tention of the house to the fact that If a county went "dry" at an election held und?r the bill the granting of licenses would be in the hands of the courts just as at present. In closing Mr. Ramsey said members should vote as they thought best and then go back home and take their "medicine." Blind Member Speaks Mr. Lanius. York, the blind mem ber, said local option was not hysteria but a natural growth of a movement that had been before the people for years. He remarked that last session there were ninety votes for local op tion. It Is time to chance a law when a Judge does not heed a remonstrance signed by three or four times the num ber of petitioners for a license, con tended Mr. T.anlus. The' York coun tlan then temarked that the House had passed the bill to restrict the use of drugs and if it had the rlßht to do that without infringing or personal liberty it can pass local option without valid objection. He asserted every one of the recent murders In York county was traceable to llouor and HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Mclntyre and Heath In "The Ham Tree" FEW people may be aware of the fact, but Thomas Kurt on Heath was born in Philadel phia, having first seen the light ©f day in a Spruce street home in 1860. Mr. Health, however, did not grow up In Philadelphia, for at the early age of eleven he packed up all his earthly possessions In a carpetbag and small: box and started out with his uncle's! concert company, which traveled by I: that alcohol was responsible for many other crimes. Local option under the bill will be entrusted to the common people, "whom we love so much on election day," said Sir. L&niua, Who remarked that it would be the same people that preceding speakers had referred to as the "rabble," the "mob" and the "crowds." He said that he would rather be defeated for voting for the bill than be re-elected for voting against it. ' Local Option liig Issue Answering Sir. Kltts, Sir. Lanius de clared he had not heard of the ques tion over the local option plank in the Democratic platform until to-day. The plank, he said, was the real issue in the last campaign, and on it the can didates went before the people. "The issue was local option and on it Vance C. SleCormick was defeated," said he. Sir. Damns said that he was pledged to the Democratic platform ! and would stand by it. In closing lie j warned that national prohibition was | coining. Sir. Stein, Allegheny, declared there j were just as honorable men in ! the liquor business as among those j who trade their purity in polities in the opening of his speech. The fact ; that William Penn and Patrick Henry , recognized the liquor business was | brought out and then he contended | what he termed "an unholy alliance I between scheming politicians and I misguided men ol' the cloth" for en i actment of the bill. The Allegheny ; man said the saloon was the poor I man's club and would flourish until | society provided something better in ; spite of "every fanatic and crank." Later on Sir. Stein said he would "rather go down in defeat than be come Governor of the Commonwealth through ingratitude and deceit." Crowd Cheers and Hisses Mr. Stein declared that If the leg islature saw fit to abolish the business of the distiller, the brewer and the liquor merchant, from whose traffic it derives revenue, the Common wealth should compensate them for investments. Mr. Stein then replied to Mr. Lanius' remark about the heroin bill, by saying that of 100 men who use drugs 100 go to ruin, but of 100 who use liquor only three or four are wrecked. This caused mingled hisses and cheers and Mr. Stein remarked that people could get drunk on anger, zeal or excitement. The latter remarked he hurled at the crowd in the rear. William H. Wilson, Philadelphia, chairman of the House, rules commit tee. said he would discuss the bill in the light of the present and not "the decayed past." He said the arguments on abridgement of personal libe'rty by the bill were fallacious. The right to sell liquor under the Brooks high li cense law is not a vested right and never has been. He took exceptions to the contention that the Brooks law is the best local option statute, saying the granting of the privilege to sell liquor for a limited period is given to judges. Mr. Wilson said that of the Republi can platform was silent on local op tion. the present Governor told the Btate committee at its Pittsburgh meeting that he stood for local option and In ills campaign reiterated his stand. Mr. McCormlck was also for i local option. "Figures I)o Not Lie" Senator Penrose, said he, polled j 492,326 votes in November when he 1 ran without any declaration on local ! option, while Dr. Brumbaugh, who I stood for local option, polled 534,898 | votes. I "I agree with my friend from Erie, 'the people have spoken. Figures do I not lie," said Mr. Wilson. Men of Courage Needed ! The Stale needs men who ore not ! afraid to submit big questions like | local option to the people said Mr. ' Wilson. Irrespective of how he might ; be regarded politically, l.ie said, be was ! willing to submit bis stand to the ,100,000 home loving people of bis dis- I triet. Mr. Ttoney, Philadelphia, who fol ; lowed Mr. Wilson, said the question ! v.-as one for legislators' best judgment. He said he was sorry to differ from Mr. Wilson, to whom he referred as I "Big Bill", but felt that he could not j agree to-d«y. I Mr. Honey said tly question of i liquor should be settled on broad, team from town to town, determined to elevate the stage. Heath and an other youngster by the name of Miller did what was known as a "statue clog." After they had struggled over a big part of the eastern country they left for Texas, where Miller died of yellow fever, leaving Heath without| either a dancing partner or a meal 1 ticket. It was then that Heath met! Mclnt.vre, and the two practiced all I night so that they could accept and| |clean, honest grounds. "I do not con done any man who takes this distinct ly moral Issue and ties it on I" his political aspirations," said he. The law has coaxed men into the liriuor business end if it drives tlieni out the .State should pay them dollar for dollar. Sir. Kone.v denied that the vote last Pall showed the state was for local option. Senator Penrose received more votes as a Republican than the other two senatorial candidates. If the peo ple of the state were for local option, why did they not vote for the Demo cratic candidate on the out-and-out local option platform and elect SleCor mick, asked he. All the votes polled I by Dr. Brumbaugh except 52,000 came from Republicans who also voted for Penrose, who had no local option platform. The Philadelffnian said that in Dr. Brumbaugh's home district the local option legislative candidates were de feated. If liquor is bad for the race, said he, it should be thrown out. but what he termed "this half-baked local op tion bill" is not the way to do it. tie said local option that would have a "wet" county here and a "dry" one there would simply mean trouble. Sir. Honey closed with a plea for unpledged men to vote against "the puny makeshift local option bill." The call of the roll was ordered on a call of the previous question. The r„ll call began at 2.54. Father Time Gets One More Stiff Punch From Brothah in Plug Hat The tiny, ever-chuckling guardian spirit of the Dauphin county marriage license bureau once again Joyously and with perfect abandon swatted tra ditions, conventionalities and the years into a cocked hat early this afternoon when the Rev.
