THE MOSQUITO HOME BODY"
The secret of success of individual Of
communal warfare on the mosquito lie:
in the scientifically proved fact that Tho
mosquito invariably lives. buzzes and
bites very near the place of its birth, I'm.
less, of course, it is carried away by 4
strong wind q should say, the place
of her birth, for only the female sucks
blood; the male is a strict vegetarian
Therefore, in order to wage successful
war of determination on the mosquito,
it is necessary only to discover the breed
ing place or places-always standing or
stagnant water-and to remove them en-
tirely either by draining and then filling
in the depressions, or, if that is impos-
sible, or impracticable, by coating the sur
face of the water with kerosene.
Right here let it be known that the
search for stagnant water must be thor
ough, if relief from mosquitoes is to be
obtained. They breed in the most unsus-
pected places-in old tin cans, rain-filled
hollows of trees well up from the ground,
crotches of trees and hollow stumps,
broken bottles, hidden by grass or top
ping stone walls as ornament; pitchers
of the pitcher plant, closed sewers, the
female entering and leaving through the
perforated traps; flower vases in which
the water is not changed daily, jars OF
water insulating the legs Of refrigerators,
roof leaders that are not properly graded.
Obvious breeding places are uncovered
rain-water barrels, open cisterns and
wells, the pits of outdoor water closets,
ground depressions, unused household
water receptacles, still water along the
edges of streams, pools formed by under
brush, pools fed by springs, water along
the edges of swamps and in the swamps,
watering troughs infrequently used, and
the pools formed underneath by drip
pings.
In brief, the varieties Of mosquito that
give the greatest trouble-bsrring the
salt water genus-will breed anywhere in
holding standing or stagnant
water. These varieties are the culex pun
gems, or inland mosquito, the most COM

III was in the summer of 1901 that the
Lestion and methods of mosquito ex-
lrmination first came prominently before
Ie public. The mayor of the little city
! Winchester, Va, at that time was N.
Barton. Mr.. Barton's fad was ento-
jology. About the time that he had be-
bme deeply interested in the scientists
larfare on the mosquito the mayor was
sited by an out-of-town friend. The
liter complained loudly against the Win
hester mosquitoes and exhibited his son
evidence of their bloodthirstiness. This
stermined the mayor to wage little war

up, the Larvae will die in short time
as result of the commotion. Still or
stagnant water, from the moment the
eggs are laid until the winged insects
are at hand, is absolutely necessary to the
development of mosquitoes. Egg, larva,
pupe, then, in two or three days, winged
mosquito-these are the four stages of
mosquito development
The cost of mosquito determination is
trifing of itself; and it sinks into utter
insignifcance when compared with the
benefits resulting therefrom. Several
summers ago a certain Maryland village
was laid low, almost to 4 man. with ma
laria. The following summer forty dol
lars was spent in draining the breeding
place of the anopheles, and only one case
OF malaria was reported all summer. The
presence Of mosquitoes has prevented
many a region from developing as It
otherwise would probably have developed.
or at least given il an unsavory reputa-

over the south; and the anopheles, OF
malaria bearing mosquito, whose habitat
is the greater part of America
It is the inland mosquito that gener-
ally breeds in or near house, and owing
to this trait, it is often called the house
mosquito. The more offensive the water
the more prolific this species. This is also
true of the stegomyia. The anopheles
prefers to breed in small pools Of uncon-
taminated water, but which are frequently
covered with green scum. The edges of
swamps, ground depressions and spring
fed pools are favored breeding places.
So, also, are unused receptacles about a
house; but, unlike the culex pungens, the
anopheles rarely enters house.

The make-believe" waist now con-

the dress skirt.
Figure Q illustrates one way of max
ing a ''make-believe" waist for the
gown just described. Around the small
lace yoke run cloth straps, that widen
I'm points in the middle of the front and
back and are edged with soutaehe braid
and trimmed with braid buttons in the
points. Two similar straps pass over
each shoulder. These are narrow on
the shoulder and wide at the points
which are sewed over the top of the en-
pire skirt belt Each strap is trimmed
with soutache and has a button in its
point. The foulard waist shows be-
tween the straps, and its short foulard
sleeve is trimmed with an embroidered
cuff of the dress material edged with a
lace friil and adorned with three buttons
in the back. The neck straps and cuffs
may be embroidered. or braided all
over. or simply bordered with soutache

methods of finishing the bottom of the

cording to the material used in making
the skirt. To harmonic with this smart
dress attachment the cuffs on the
sleeves of the figured foulard waist are

Instead of any Of these "make-be-
