patient and constant labor and econo- my of the Italians bring good results on land where Americans would starve; families of eight live well on three to five acres" says Mrs. Fozg Meade in a report issued by the United States Department of Labor. The land in Southern New Jersey is a barren waste and only by infnits labor can crops be grown. When ths berries ripen, in the early summer, fo these southern New Jersey colonies whole car loads of Italians come from Philadelphia to pick the crop. Prfn- cipal after principal in. the public schools in the Italian quarter of Phil adelphia explains a low percentage Of attendance in June by the 1aconic re- mark, Everybody in this neighbor- hood has gone to New Jersey to pick berries
 The Italian farm colonies for ths most part have sprung up of theff own accord. We can reasonably ex- pect settlements to grow near thoss that already exist. The efforts to tel Italians where there are farms f0f sale will soon have effect. The ItaL ians in the United States are pro- gressing to their benefit and to the benefit of the development of the natural resources of the states.

MOSQUITO PEST
ROUSES HEALTH
BOARD TO ACTION
Proposal Made That Each Mu-
nicipality Look After It's
Own Little Brood.

Through the efforts OF John w. Dob
bins, chairman of the mosquito exter-
mination COMMITTEES of the Board Of
Health. an attempt will be made within
the next week to have q. conference of
the heads of the various boards of
health throughout the county. with a
view to outlining some plan that will
result in reducing the mosquito pest in
this section.
1t is proposed to make each munich
paiity responsible for cleaning out the
mosquitoes in hat particular district.
The cost of this work will be appor-
toned according to the size of the Sec
ton to be covered and the amount of
work involved In each district.
According to the estimate of Mr..
Dobbins. 1t would cost about s4,1O0 to
clean Newark of the pest properly.
while the rest of the county would re-
quire little more than $1,000 to make the
job complete.
Contrary to the prevailing opinion,
the mosquitoes that are helping to
make this a record season for the pest
are not of the variety that breed in the
meadows, but are distinctly of the class
that come from rain-barrels and fresh
water pools. A fews barrels OF oil and
a little care in spreading it would soon
help to greatly reduce the number of
mosquitoes, according to the opinion of
the Health Board.
While Newark has done all 1t possibly
could with the funds at its disposal, the
presence, of the great number Of mos
quitoes in the city Is due to the lack
of interest shown in their determination
in the numerous adjoining municipali-
ties. gs
IL has been shown. for instance. that
in Livingston alone enough mosquitoes
are produced to make life miserable for
the entire county, and yet, according to
the estimate of the Health Board, II
would cost not more than IS to spray
all the breeding places in hat section
and wipe out the pest there. 1t is to
stimulate interest In these matters and
try to remedy the conditions for the
balance of the season that the proposed
conference Is to be held.
Mr.. Dobbins credits the recent dry
spell as being responsible for the sud
den influx of the pests. He said: "Ths
mosquitoes we are being annoyed by al
present are what we call the 'Cules
Pippin.' They breed in sewer basins
waste barrels and brooks that have
dried up in spots, and are always more
prevalent during q dry spell.
These culex pippens will travel fifty
miles with windstorm," said MI. Dob
bins. He further stated that the first
brood, which usually arrives about
July Ito Is, must have been killed of
as a result of the work of %sprinkIing
the oil in the breeding places, as they
were first noticed on July l this year,
"Three of the greatest breeding
places for these mosquitoes are the
open bitches near Wiedenmayer's base
ball park, Weston Electric Works and
the Pennsylvania Steel Works" said
Mr.. Dobbins, but these places have
been looked after thoroughly"

SPECTACULAR BLAZE in
LONG BRANCH RESIDENCE

LONG BRANCH. July pa spec
tacular blaze at an early hour today
was responsible for attracting several
thousand people to the scene. when the
beautiful summer residence of Leopold
Cohen, at Ocean and Cedar avenues, in
the West End section of Long Branch
was. discovered on fire. The blaze was
the result of electric light wires be-
coming crossed.
The fire could be seen for miles
around by the summer residents OF
Oceanic, Seabright. Monmouth Beach
Deal, Allenhurst and Ashury Park, and
the near the fire were crowded
with automobiles attracted by the glare
in the skies.
Though the house was only damaged
to the extent of $1,000. the blaze was
one of the most stubborn the firemen
have had to fight in years.

RAILROAD HEAD IS
KILLED IN SUMNER
HOME BY BURGLAR
Ira G. Rawn, President OF MonOn
Route, Slain In Chicago
!. Suburb.

CHICAGO, July 20-rra @. Rawn.
president of the Chicago. indianapolis
& Louisville Railway lthe Monon
Route). vas shot through the heart and
instantly killed at 1870 o'clock this
morning by a burglar. who entered hts
summer home in Wfnnetka. a suburb
fifteen miles north OF Chicago.
The burglar forced open the basement
door, and was heard prowling about the
first floor by Mr.. Rawn. who went
downstairs to investigate. Members of
his family heard him say: What do
you want. here" and q shot was fired
Immediately afterward.
When they hurried to the first floor
Mr.. Rawn was lying dead at the foot
Of the stairs with q bullet through his
heart. The murderer or murderers es-
capped.
The fact that the murder was COM
mitted by q burglar was established by
the finding of Jimmy marks on the
door, which had been forced open.
The assassination Is the climax to
a reign of crime that has driven the
residents Of the north shore suburb al
most to a frenzy.
The story OF the shooting of Mr..
Rawn was told by Ralph g. Coburn. a
son -in-law OF the victim, this morning.
Mr.. Rawn wal awakened by sounds
on the first floor of the house." ne said.
"He insisted on going down to ascer-
tain the cause. although Mrs. Rawn
tried to persuade him not to do so.
He descended the stairs and had
just barely reached the landing when
everyone In the house was awakened
by the roar of two shots fired in quick
succession.
II rushed out, as did the others. We
found Mr.. Rawn lying in his night
clothes. Blood was ~trickling from his
breast. He died within five or six min
utes.
we Immediately summoned the
winnetka police. and it was they who
found the mark on the door which es-
tnbiisi1ed the fact that the crime had
been committed by a burglar. Other
than that we have no clew.
THE house was occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Rawn, their daughter, Mrs. Bigc-
low; my wife and myself and our two
children. There were also three SER
wants In the house, the cook, Mrs.
Rawn's maid and Mrs. Bigelow's maid.
None OF the rest of us heard the
burglar"
Mr.. Rawn was S. years old. having
been born August 20. 1856. at Delaware.
o. He entered the railway service in
1880, beginning as a telegraph operator
for the Big Four. About . year ago
he was elected president OF the Monor.
