An amateur scientist studying at
the University of Chicago has been
rno co,or son.o making expert
ments to ascertain
VI the color sense of
the mosquito, with results that may
prove of value to punctured and blis-
tered humanity. Thus may we sooner
or later escape the thrusts of the an
terror javelin of the mosquito which
has a perforating power and n poison
ing touch that are capable of making
outdoor life unbearable for thin
skined mortals. 1t is believed by
scientists that the mosquito has de-
cided preference in the matter of col
ors. lie is fond of particular color,
and will be attracted to it. To discover
that particular color is the problem
that has engaged the study of several
scientists. 1t may not be possible to
find color that will repel the mos
quito but if it is possible to learn what
color he loves the best it becomes an
easy matter 10 induce your nelgnDor
to paint his house or barn that color.
If this does not work a few vacant
houses with decoy victims on the front
porchcs all embelished in his favorite
color could be provided in each COM
munity. Thus far the experiments in
dicate a strong preference for the dark
colors, blue, black and red, while white,
orange and yellow have few admirers.
1t is claimed in fact that yellow is
given Il wide berth so long as any other
colors are displayed. If this conclu-
sion is verified by further experiments
we may expect to see the whole coun-
try dotted with yellow towns and yell
low gowns by next season.

What the American Woman Journal
says about the B!ue Trading stamps:
The Trading Stamp idea has become
popular in the past few years. This is
one of the most attractive notions
that the up-todate and progressive
merchant can put before his patrons.
For this reason, the stores that give
to purchasers little slips of paper,
which if preserved will, after certain
numbers are accumulated, bring to
the holders some useful or ornamental
premium, has led many housekeepers
to confer their patronage upon those
dealers who make such offers.
The idea of the Trading Stamp is a
good one, for both seller and buyer.
The only difficulty met hus far has
been that many times after house
| keepers have preserved their stamps
they have not been able to redeem
! them.
The ST. Louis Trading Association
with headquarters and warerOoms
at 1112 Pine street. for supplying thea
different branches in the City where
their stamps are redeemed, issue the
Blue Trading Stamp. Upon inyesti5a
ton through the commercial agencies
and banks, it has been found that this
association has a capital and financia
rating Of over $3.50 900 and is amply
able to redeem any number Of stamps

HE'S AGAINST SMALL BANKS.
A Capital of $4,000, at Least, says
Joseph w. MeNeal.

When the law was prsseq author

banks with a capital stock of only

opinion that few institutions would be
capitalized in this sum, as tn be-
lieved it to be too small" said Joseph
w. McNeal The report Of the comp
troller Of the treasury, which have
just received, shows that the belief
was unfounded. From March Il, 1900
- October 81, 1901, eighteen national
banks in Oklahoma and thirty ole in
the Indian territory. eacn with a cap
ital of $3.50 were organized. Per.
sonGlly / see no reason why national
