What to Do to Rid Your Neighborhood
of These Most Troublesome of All
Aviators and How to Treat
Their Bites.

Beware the Anopheles quadrimaculatus
the Anopheles punctipennis, the Anopheies
crucians, and others Of their ilk-
What are these strange things with the
queer-sounding names?
One certain way of being enlightened
on this score is to sit on the front porch
one of these delightful evenings, filled
with determination to enjoy life in the
open to it's fullest. Just about the time
you get located, unless you live in a
particularly favored spot, an Anopheles
quadrimaculat will come sailing around
and all thoughts of comfort will be dis
sipated while you institute a search for
this destroyer of happy hours whose song
is just as conducive to peace of mind as
the waving of a red flag is soothing to
a high-strung bun. ...... .
Commonly speaking, the Anopheles
quadrimaculatus is a mosquito, as are
the rest of the anopheies tribe. That isn't
just the name you would probably apply
to him about the time he interrupted
your reYeries with his rasping song,
but it will do for means-of identification
and will look much better in a newspa-
per intended for general consumption
lnan the dppeildlOuS lHdl are usually
attached to this festive little insect.
Just now mosquitoes are beginning to
put in an appearance. A little later on
they will have increased almost beyond
belief, unless something is done to check
them. And, contrary to general belief,
the presence of mosquitoes, like the prev
alence of any other pest or malady. is
due chiefly to indifference on thespart of
those who IL they so chose might elini-
nate the evil. 1t has been demonstrated
conclusively in innumerable instances
that mosquitoes thrive because they are
let alone, and that stamping them out
from given locality is only a matter OF
a little expense and exertion. And of the
various species Of mosquitoes, those mem
toned at the beginning Of this story are
the most dangerous because they com
monty garry malaria.
To gain a proper understanding of the
subject, Il is necessary to go back to the
beginning. TO trace the evil to its source.
The breeding places Of mosquitoes are OF
a most diverse character. Certain va
rieties breed only in tree holes. others
only in the crab holes on sea beaches.
Some species breed only in salt marshes
and lay their eggs on mud. although most
others lay their eggs upon the surface Of
the water.
Their Bro SdInE Places.
However, those found in this latitude
breed In lakes, in ponds, In marshes. in

| every chance receptacle of water, hence
| the utmost care is required If the de-
| sired results are attained. In midsummer
billions of mosquitoes will breed wherever
dead water is, found-in rain water bar
rels, in roof cutters that have become
clogged with leaves in such a manner
as tc allow water to accumulate; in
sewer traps, in fire buckets in ware
houses, even in broken bottles and dis
! carded tin cans that will serve as a rest
\ ing place for little moisture.
| Obviously. the best plan is to abolish
breeding places by eliminating the water.
At the same time, it is often the case
that draining a territory is not possible.
In such an event other methods must be
pursued, the most effective being to treat
the water so as to kill the mosquito
| larvae. Many experiments have been
conducted along this line, with varying
degrees of success, but so far as can be
ascertained nothing has been so uniform
ly productive OF good as the use OF Pc
troleum. 1t is worthy Of note in this
connection, too. that ordinary kerosene
of the lower grade, while less costly, has
proved the most efficient
There are two good reasons Treatment
Of this nature depends for its success
upon the rapid spread Of the oil and its
ability to remain for some time without
levaporating. Heavier grades of oil viii
not spread properly, giving a patchwork
effect that leaves open spots for breeding
places. For ordinary purposes an ounce
of kerosene should prove Isuficient for
fifteen square feet Of surface, It of
course being assumed that the water is
still, and in the absence Of wind or cur
rent the film formed by the spreading
oil viii continue to be effective for a
matter OF ten days or more. When this
scum has been blown aside by the wind.
It is usually the case that with the re-
turn of calm weather the OIL viii again
spread. thus killing the larvae.
The operations OF an oil coating are
carried even further than the destruction
of tho larvae. important as this work
proves. for 1t has been shown that vast
numbers ofiadult mosquitoes aIightlng on
the lurface OF water thus treated, either
TO drink or deposit their eggs. are killed
by the on. which retains portion Of
its effectiveness even after the scum has
disappeared.

Says She Did Not Run Away
But Was Taken in an
Automobile.

With tears streaming down her face,
little 13yearold Cecilia Jackson sat
in the office of the chief of police
Thursday afternoon. and strenuously
denied the accusations of her parents
that she had attempted to run away
from home, or that she wanted to
leave home. Time and again were at
tempts made to entangle the little
maiden in the story she had recited,
but at every recital she repeated word
for word the same story.
Says She Was Kidnapped.
The little girl stated that some time
Wednesday afternoon she was in the
northeastern part of the city attempt
ing to sell some rattle tickets. and
that seeing a woman sitting in an au-
tomobile on the corner, she went up to
her and tried to dispose of her wares.
The woman said she did not want any
but that block down the street she
had some friends who would buy a

were $4,000 little girls and $4,000 fu-

close of this most unique of the corona

tie smiles and the same number of
souvenir mugs in so many little hands,
commemorating the event.

The army OF little ones were con-
veyed to Crystal palace by special
train and, upon their arrival, there
began five solid hours of merrymaking.
The children We're first treated to a
scene from the Pageant of London,
perhaps the most impressive one Of all,
for in it were grouped the representa-
tives OF Greater Britain over the seas.
Then refreshments were ser7ed. and
the mug, which the king gave to each
child, was presented.
Next the children were permitted
to go to the many entertainments which
the Festival Of Empire and the Crystal
palace this year affords These includ-
ed the highly interesting and instruct
i've trip on the 'All Red Route" water
chutes, toboggans. coasters, mountain
railways, etc, all of which were open
free to the children by especial ar
rangement of the king.
When the afternoon was over, the
children enjoyed a farewell glimpse Of
their monarch as he stood on a special
~ built balcony, waving kisses to
them, while they all saluted him in
unison, God save the king"

THIRTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL TELLS
A VIVID STORY OF KIDNAPPING

lot of the tickets, and asked the little
girl to get in the machine and she
would give her a ride for a block.
The little girl, noticing that she had
been riding over a block, asked the
woman to put her down, stating that
her mother would be uneasy as she
was waiting for her. The girl says
the woman then told her that she had
no children of her own. and that she
wanted to take her home and educate
her. 1T told the lady" said the little
girl between sobs, that my mother
would educate me. and that I wanted
to go back home. but she wouldn't
put ms down"
Left Alone In Desert.
After she had been quieted, the
maiden resumed her story which was
to the effect that when she saw the
woman would not put her down. or
bring her back, she began to scream
and fight, and that somewhere out in
the desert on the other side OF Ysleta
she was put out of the machine. She
then walked until she came to a
ranch house, where she says she spent
the night, and that the woman with
whom she stayed was named Mrs
Moon, who had informed her she was
living at Socorro. The little girl
says that on Monday morning, Mrs.
Moon showed her the road back TO vs.
leta and that she started homewards.

that Is not so. I do not mind beinS
poor and I want you to use my moRsy
Il you need II, she sobbed.
Read OF Travels.
Chief Jenkins then took the maiden,
into his private office. but there she
related the same story as she had told
before the reporter. While she was
gone, the mother told the Herald re1
porter that some time ago her daugh1
ter read IN a story book, how a little
girl had travelled a long way without
any money. and that after reading the
story her daughter asked her if She
could not get to New York that way.i
The mother says she told her no. but
that she believes the little girl Thoughts
she could accomplish il anyway
Il wish I could believe her story #
said the father, but I am sorry TO says
that she is such a big story teller, that
il Is hard for me to believe what She
is telling now. She is a smart child andi
has read a lot and has a wonderful im-i
agination, aud I think she is naking q
up her story"
The officers of the law believe tnS
little maid has suffered from lapse OF
memory and does not know what has
really happened, but nothing they can
say or do can break the child's mar
rative.
She can give no description of tha
woman who took her automobile rid.
ing Wednesday, neither can she fur-l
ntsh the number OF the car, although
she says she tried to get 1t. but thsl
machine drove away too fast.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-06-30

She was overtaken by Mexican in a
wagon, who gave her ride as far
as Ysleta. Here she met up with q
man in an automobile, who, she says,
gave his name as Mr.. Miller, and that
upon request he brought her TO FL
Paso letting her out at the Sheldon
hotel, after which she went to hei
home.
Was Not Going to Douglas.
The girl strongly denies that she
has ever asked anyone the direction
to Douglas or that she talked to a
street car conductor. or that she was
seen by the milkman on the mesa at
o'clock Thursday morning. all OF
these three reports having been made
to the police by different parties.
How could I talk to milkman
when I was asleep in bed on Mrs
Moons ranch?" questioned the girl in
reply to the question that had been
asked her, and there the questioning
of the girl stopped.
Ratified Her Bracelet.
The mother then told the chief Of
police that often her daughter had
wished to go to New York where she
has relatives, and complained of be-
ing poor. In order to raise money, the
girl had asked her mother TO let her
rattle her bracelet to which her
mother consented. But" continued
Mrs. Jackson, 'I am a sick woman and
had to use her money for the doctor
and I think she got mad and wanted
to run away"

tive. the little maiden broke into
