From Miss Amendt the humblest
caller who really has business with the
Equitable will receive the same treat
ment as the star general agent of the
Equitable. This is a part of Miss
Amendt's theory of success. 1t is Miss
Amendt's special province to attend to
this agency business for Mr.. Tarbell.
She keeps in touch with everything APP
pertaining to her department in the
United States and Canada The gem
eral agents in all the large cities in all
that territory do their business chiefly
with her. and all the smaller men. OF
course are under her dominion.
Her appearance in the Equitable fight
really led to her newspaper "discov-
cry" The newspaper men began to ask
questions about this busy woman. Then
they began to ply her with questions.
Il started" she told one correspond
ent, lin Mr.. Tarbelrs Office in Chicago
as a stenographer, and when he came
here, in 1898. to be second vice presi-
dent, l was taken along, with several
others. That's all.
"How did l first get with the Equt-
able? Just as any other woman might.
l lived in Logan, Ohio, where l was
born, and when my father lost his
money | had to teach school to help
along the family. Every night when
| went to bed hoped | wouldn't wake

rapher, and | got the place at SIS a
week The work interested me; took
hold and finally became Mr.. Tarbelrs
secretary and stenographer He was
general agent for the Northwestern
territory then, with his headquarters
in Chicago but he was made vice presi.
dent, and came to New York.
"That was twelve years ago. Our
business grew so large that other stem
ographers and secretaries were needed
and so | became one of the assistants
to Mr.. Tarbell, as | am now. For the
past six or seven years | haven't done
any stenOgraphic work; now | have

Mr.. Tarbell has in charge all the
agencies in the United States and Can

hands before it reaches her chief. 1t is
her function to take the wear of detail

COLORS AND MOSQUITOES,
Experiments Show That the Insects
Are Able to Distinguish
Between Hues

A young girl was talking about mos
quitoes. She had spent the summer in
a place where they were numerous, re-
lates the New York Herald.
But noticed" she said, that when l
wore yellow dress didn't get single
bite"
Did you notice that?" said the young
scientist. And then he went on eagerly:
Il am glad you noticed that. for it is a
verification of certain experiments that
we have made
I'VE made these experiments in a
gauze tent, and their object was to as
certain the effect on mosquitoes of col
ors.
I'VE placed in the tent boxes lined
with cloth of different hues. and we
found that the little pests crowded fran
tically into the dark blue box while the
yellow box they would not under any
circumstances enter.
THE experiments extended over sew
eral weeks. We had in the tent stone
vessels for the mosquitoes to breed in.
We discovered that, next to the dark
blue, the mosquitoes sought the dark red
box. After the dark red came brown,
then scarlet, then black, then slate gray.
then olive green, then violet, then pearl
gray then white.
Thus we proved that mosquitoes no.
tice colors, and we formulated two help
full hints for the inhabitants of mosqui-
to ridden districts
THE first hint is to wear yellow to es-
cape mosquito bites and to use yellow
netting for bed canopies and window
screens.
The second hint is to use blue-lined
box II you want TO trap mosquitoes.
With this box in an infested region, you
could easily catch and destroy thousands
of the insects daily"
