Linen and batiste were never more
popular in summer dress.
The smart pocket handkerchief has a
touch Of color in one corner.
The raglan made of thinnest alpaca
or cheviot is a useful addition to the
summer wardrobe.
Hats showing wide brims are unusu-

at the left side.
The new hat known as the "shirt
waist hat" is merely a low crowned

Soft silks in pale colors make some
OF the most attractive gowns for sum-

Mitts gain little favor usually in

Especial Correspondence


TRENTON, n. J., July 29.-With the
announcement that the mosquito is re-
spOnsible for many of the ills that be-
set mankind, notably malaria, it is
pleasing to learn that at many points
, in this state an effort is being made to
! get rid of a pest that has long. and of
| ten unjustly, made New Jersey a by
word among other states of the Union.
1t is contended by some that the evil
can never be totally eradicated, but
there is no doubt that a widespread
attempt to wipe it out will be followed
by marked and most satisfactory re-
suits
Besides Trenton, where the state au-
thOrities are now making some very
interesting experiments, other New
Jersey towns, notably South Orange;
are trying the use of crude petroleum
oil as an offensive weapon against the
mosquito. The municipal authorities
of these different towns are greatly
encouraged in their work by a most
gratifying report from Hartford, Conn.
There, under the supervision of the
board Of health, the low, marshy areas
which border on the Connecticut river
on the east side of the city have been
literally sprinkled with oil, the result
being that the city has had compare
tive freedom from mosquitoes this sum-
mer.
In fact, in almost every case where
petroleum has been employed an i'm
mediate scarcity of mosquitoes has fol-
lowed. The method most generally fol-
lowed with success is an extremely
simple one. 1t consists in throwing
large quantities of crude petroleum on
The surface of stagnant pools and other
sheets of water where the insects
breed. An oily film forms on the sur
face, destroying all mosquito larvae in
process of development AS a rule
these pools of water are some little dis
lance from habitatiOns. so the danger
of annoyance from the oil is generally
at minimum.
The old method of fighting the mos
quito in New Jersey and one which has
already proved successful has the OBJ
lection of requiring a heavy expendi-
ture. There are two things to be done
under this plan. One is to fill In or
drain every nearby swamp or pond
and to reduce the whole place to a
hard and smooth surface, absolutely
bare OF all vegetable growth that
would give the mosquitoes a house of
refuge.
That the mosquito is not a traveller
has been proved by the experience Of
numerous places along the coast, such
as Atlantic City. Ocean City, Spring
Lake. Asbury Park, Elberon. Long
Branch, Ocean Grove. Seabright and
Monmouth Beach. These are all with
In a short distance of places where the
