OIL AND WEDDING END
JERSEY MOSQUITO PEST

New York, Aug. 1.-Destruction5 Of
mosquito larvae by petroleum and the
wedding out of shrubbery in moist
places in and about the Long Island
and New Jersey coast resorts has al
most eliminated the pests, according to
reports collected by the Herald. Ex-
periments with oil, begun two or three
years ago, appear to have been entirely
successful. The sprinkling of pools with
crude oil has been reinforced by sys-
tematic ditching at many points which
has completely obliterated the damp
spots where the mosquitoes were in for
mer years bred by the million.

Oft conceals beneath 1T light,
