Mosquitoes are SO numerous in Mil

have never been invaded by the pest
swarm with them day and night. Smudge
fires on fashionable lawns on the East
Side are common sight every evening,

men and put their horses in the stables
until the mosquitoes should disappear. the
horses baking or running away, and the
men being almost blinded by the pest.
