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

!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.
