CITIZENS ARE
VERY CARELESS

Inspector Hall of the Mosquito Com
naittee reports that the recent increase
in the number of mosquitoes is caused
by the carelessnes of people who are
neglecting to take the precautions
which are necessary to prevent breed
ing of the insects. During the past
ten days he has examined fully five
hundred residences where complaint has
been made of numerous mosquitoes and
in every case has found the breeding
places. It is of the utmost Importance
that everything that can contain-wa-
ter should be watched. Empty cans
are favorite nurseries for the pests.
Ponds in which there are no fish are
centers of the dissemination of the
mosquito curse. An example is the
secondary pond at the Hawaiian Hotel
Annex at Waikiki beach, not the lily
pond. The fish were removed from this
place a short time age and soon there
began to be complaints of multitude
OF mosquitoes. AS soon as the atten-
ton of Manager Macfarlane was call
ed to the state of affairs he immedi-
ately set men to work cleaning out the
pond and there will be no more trouble
from that source. But there are other
citizens who have not been so quick to
respond to the committees appeals and
if they are chewed up by the mos
quitoes they have nobody but them
selves to blame
