Music Lures Mosquitoes

From the New York American.
 What effect has music on mosquitoes, and what effect have mosquitoes on bur glars are questions that are agitating Flatbush. Since the recent rains the resi- dents of that place, Kensington, Bath Beach. Borough Park and other neigh borhoods have been sitting up nights. The only midnight oil. however, that has been used has been the oil of citronella. The supply of this, like that of screen wire, is running short because of the demand, ana unless there Is a change in conditions the popular form of evening clothes in the lsuburbs will be riding boots, raincoats and hats with veils.
 While residents as a rule refuse to ad- init there are mosquitoes abroad in their sections of the land. even when caught buying punk sticks and applying ammo mia to the welts that have been raised, they have during the past week been willing to admit the truth.
 ! Recent rains that have apparently as sured Manhattan water supply are re- ieponsible for the pests in Brooklyn and Queens. The nice priyet and box hedges that make Flatbush a show place during the dry spell sheltered the unhappy mos quito and her young After the first few ldays of rain. Mrs. Mosquito led her ofr- spring from the lawns and tall grass and pointed out the various places where lthere were easy pickings Since then the I<ocking chair fleets have abandoned the front porch.
 It Is this that has given rise to the -uuestion. What effect has music on a mosquito? The police say, and they know, because they are the only ones abroad iin the land after supper time, that the house wherein the young woman with the lsemi-harmonious, one-third contralto voice iwarbles All That I Want Is Love-" is the section where most mosquitoes are to ybe found, crowdng one another off the front porch. Here it is. they say. that the gentle, inoffensive, wel-fed police dogs take to the street and roll over because of the pests.
 . The police point to the fact that in these sections there are mosquitoes that are as large as humming birds. with svoices like nightingales. These, they say, when the first few notes of the piano are twafted out through the screens, yell r'Hey, fellows, an accompanistn' and , tfrom then on they sing outside the win ,dows while the young woman shatters the atmosphere inside.
 Since the mosquito season got into ful &wifn in Flatbush, burglaries have almos lceased The police attribute this to thu lfact that no respectable, working sFburglsr, plying his vocation in these shor nights, cen work safely with a jimmy o
 Ebrace and bit with one hand They sa,
 lhe must have one hand free to battle wit Ethe bird of song. Then, too, they say a lsoon as the burglar forces his way int 1.-the house the mosquitoes beat him insid slsnd are upstairs. The burglar, it is point led out has no chance under the circum ketances, because the family is awakened laby the mosquitoes trying to carry off tn lyoungest child. #...---
