no harm. The mosquito will find the
cellar a fine place to hibernate this
winter, and next spring he will bios
som out with all his children and
grandchildren, and you will wonder
where on earth he came from even
before you can put up your screens.
Your screens should be as fine as
you can get them-at least 10 meshes
to the inch. You would be surprised

II you use bed canopies, such as are
used in some Of the southern states,

Mosquito bar, or netting, Is dis
couraging TO the pest, because of the
fuzzy little fbers that stick out, and
entangle him.
Look out for the breeding places.
Mosquitoes will breed wherever there
is stagnant water. Look out for tin
cans, boxes or broken bottles In the
back yard Water will settle in them
when 1t rains, and afford breeding

see whether they are not stopped up.
so that the water in them backs up
and becomes stagnant. Allow no
standing water around the house or
premises. Screen the rainbarrel to
keep the mosquitoes out.
If there Is a stagnant pond or pool
in the neighborhood and you can't get
IL drained off, put little kerosene on
the water. The oil will form a fllmy
coating that will keep the young mos
quitoes down when they are born and
come up to breathe. The big female
| 'skeeter will also become entangled
in the fllmy coat and perish.
About smudges:
Pyrethrum. an insect powder you
can buy at the druggists, Is good
mosquito fumigator. Heap it up into
little pyramid or cone and light the
top. It will slowly burn, giving off
an inoffensive odor, and will stun or
kill the mosquitoes, so that they drop
to the floor. All you have to do then
is TO sweep them up and burn them.
A New Orleans chemist has invent
ed a smudge made OF equal parts OF
carbolic acid crystals and gum cam
phor. Melt the acid crystals and pour
them over the gum. This results In

You can make a trap for mosquitoes
In this way:
Get a box IL inches long, IL inches
wide and 9 inches deep Line It with
dark, green baize, with n tin floor.
Have little round hole in the TOP
with revolving door OF wood or

Set the trap in cool. shady part
OF the room-for the mosquito loves
to take his rest I'm the shade-and
when a considerable number have
gone focking in through the hole

teaspoonful OF benzine and pour II into
the box, and In a few minutes the mos

Every year the people OF America
use $10,000,000 in fighting mosquitoes,
spending that sum on screens for
doors and windows alone.
But just the same the pesky 'skeeter
continues TO multiply.
Hundreds OF lives are sacrificed to
yellow fever and malaria, and other
diseases which are scattered by mos
quitoes.
II the same amount OF money were
annually expended in getting to the
root of the mosquito evil, more good
would be accomplished, and 1t Is
probable that in a few years screens
for doors and windows would be prac-
tically unnecessary.
But Just now we have got to keep
on fighting the mosquito for the sake
of our health, lives and personal com
fort, and here are few facts. pub

465,766. DETR0IT's
POPULATION, Says
CENSUS BUREAU
City Shows Wonderful Growth Of
10000, or SO Per Cent, Since
1e0o-Auto Industry Big Factor
In Increased Population.
This May Place Detroit Next To
Pittsburg and Eighth City in
United States.

The remarkable growth of Detroit.
the census bureau at Washington hav-
ing announced the population as
46b,766, Friday, Is attributed mainly to
the automobile industry, which has
won fame the world over for this city.
and which has made wonderful strides
In the past ten years. The figures
announced by the census bureau show
that the growth of Detroit since the
1900 census has been SO per cent. The
population In 1900 was 2S5,704 The
total gain since then has been $780,
062.
Not only has the automobile trade
In Detroit shown wonderful growth In
the past ten years, but other lines OF
manufacture have held their own with
other cities for rapid development.
In the past ten years Pittsburg's pop
ulation has increased from 1000 TO
$780, 00 Cincinnati from $4,000 to
364 200, and Newark from $4,000 10
1000. No other city has shown
progress like Detroit.
The officials of the census bureau
In Washington were amazed at the
wonderful progress OF Detroit. They
said they did not think that any other
city with a population over 100000
will exceed Detroit's record. Although
the figures for Cleveland, Buffalo. New
Orleans and San Francisco have not
been made public, 1t is believed that
Detroit will rank as the eighth city
In the United States, taking her POSI-
,tion next to Pittsburg, which showed
q population OF $4,000 this year.
The task OF collecting the census
figures was ably executed by Orvice
r. Leonard, OF this city, whose exec
utive ability enabled him to handle
his large force OF assistants In an ex-
ceptional manner.
In 1882, the entire settlement about
Detroit had a population of 2,09l. The
census Of 1910. gave the city 1850,
and 1920 saw this reduced to 1,442.
The figures are: 1880, 2,222; 1910,
9.1O2; 1850, 21,019; 1860. 45.619; 1870,
1857; 1880. 116,S40; 1890. 2O5,s76;
1900, 2s5,704.

to Havana. 49,.
Nh. Bensabat owned and operated
a cigar factory in Havana. It was
blown down by the wind and the
water from the ocean backed up to
the ruins destroying his complete
supply of tobacco. The only prop.
erty he saved was several balls Of
tobacco which were in the govern
ment warehouse on the docks. This
tobacco was destroyed as was other
goods of a total value Of $4,000, 900
but the government is compelled to
pay for all goods in its possession.
Mr.. Bensabat was here selling
supply of cigars which he had
in this country previous to the
date of the storm. He succeeded
in closing out all his stock to
three Bemidii firms and he leaves
tonight for New Orleans where he
will sail direct for Havana.
