Last night at RauscheTs the entire

almost entirely to the second act.
Realizing that they have their work

Last night Mr. Leach vas explaining

There was an instant nush

The Ita Palm.

In the moonlit garden overlooking
the sea no sound was to be heard save
the petulant plant of the mosquitoes,
angry at being disturbed at their food.
Come" said the host, ''let US go and
sit under the tia palm. They won't
bother us there"
In comfort under the tia, he went on:
'This tree is from the OrinOca delta,
the home of the Warau tribe. The
Orinoca delta is infested with mosqui-
toes to an incredible degree. The
Waraus, to escape them, live in a palm
whose odor the mosquito can't put up
with.
'"This is the palm-the ita-which
makes the naked Warau's mosquito
proof bed. A handy thing it is among
these salt marshes to have in garden
too."-Cincinnati Enquirer.
