The Sewer Trap.

The worst source Of mosquito iufcc-
ton during the dry weather in cities is
the sewer trap. Both on the streets, the
areas and the back yards, there are al
WAYS trans to the sewers that are built
to catch the refuse and in which water
stands to the level Of the drain pipe IL
the end OF summer, as in Washington in
uartirular where theT. is dry weather
al that season. mosquitoes select these
filthy places TO breed and flourish Their.
hv the millions Dr.. Howard says that in
tie house sewer traps half u cup of krrO-
sene will steriliZe the water 50 that mos
olftoes cannot breed there. The alpIj-
cation has to bc repeated about every
three weeks.
The city can treat the street traps the
same way on a larger scale. OF course,
flushing the sewers once week viii
answer the same purpose. but 1t Is more
troublesome. not likely to he done 50
thoroughly and costs more iii labor than
the other method does III material.
In places where there arr fountains and
ornamental ponds that cannot be screened
or treated with oil. tish the best pro-
lection against mosquitoes. Cold fish and
top minnows eat the mosquito wig
pIers with avidity, but care has to be
taken that there j. not ltat-leaved Vegcta-
ton that will harbOr the WiggicrS and
protect them from the fish at the same
time.
These recommendations are all given i'm
detail in the pamphlet. and Or. Howard
saws that by following them communities
and Individual householders can protect
themselves against the mosquito pest
during the coming summer.

Destroy Breeding Places.

DR.. Howard says that. whatever the
virtue of these measure may he for inn

stroy their breeding places Taken as a
rule. mosquitoes will breed III water. 1t
is safe to assume therefore, that If a
place is carefully drained and water that
cannot be removed is screened The mos
quito cannot breed and there Will he no
pest.
1t has been found that old wells, ram
barrels. chicken yard drinking pans and
ornamental fountains give the mosquitoes
just the breeding places they want In
one instance of public institution that
suffered a plague of mosquitoes there
wac search for days after it wa
thought al possible breeding places had
been obliteratcd. Still the mosquitoes
persi! ted and at last there was found III
the cellar half a barrel fun Of stale water
from which the mosquitoes issued at the
rate of l.nDo day. 1t has been round
that even when there is the tniest crack
leading to an old ceSSpool or other supply
of Stagnant water the mosquitoes VIII
find their way into II.
Rain water barrels should always be
screened when they cannot he done away
with and there should be careful search
made for tin cans. old bottles OF anything
else that will hold few spooHIuls Of
water after rain. for So long as the
water lasts a week it will give a GoncE
alton of mosquitoes time to breed.
Another place that is a prolific Sourc"
OF mosquito breeding, both around town
and country houses. is tn" rain cutters
These often sag 50 that there Is little

ADVICE TO TORTURED
Defense Against the Attacks

DR.. HOWARD'S PAMPHLET
Oil of Citronella and Liquid Vaseline
Suggested.
DESTROY BREEDING PLACES
Pools of Standing Water Should Be
Eliminated-Ponds Should Be
Stocked With Fish
DESTROY BREEDING PLACES

Any community that wants mosquitoes
can have them. and a community that
does not want them need not.
This is the eist Of a pamphlet that has
Just heen issued by the Department %
Agriculture. IT is the work of DR.. l.. O
Howard chief of the bureau of ento-
molosy. who has devoted a large part Of
/ an industrious career to making the
house fly and the mosquito unhappy
The pamphlet is designed to help the
war against mosquitoes and deals with
the problems that arise in both city and
country communities. One section is de
voted to the personal defense of the Suf
ferer against mosquitoes. There are Il
number OF lotions a few drops of which
on the face or the pillow will discourage
mosquitoes Oil of citronelIa is the basis
of the most of these. as its odor is not
unpea SAINT to most people. There are
some. however, who object to ii so much
that they would rather have the mos
quitOeS
One of the combinations that is recon-
mended for protection against mosquitoes
is an ounce each of oil of citronella and
spirits of camphoT and half an ounce of
oil of cedar. The trouble with this, as
with many other Citronella compounds. is
that the smell. which is the thing that
drives off the mosquitoes, does not last
all night and the diSease-hearinS mos
uuitoeS. such a the yellow fever and the
malaria bearing mosquitoes, get busiest
a bout daylight
For those who ohteC< to the odor of
ctronella the department recommend,
an ounce each of castor oil, alcohol and
oil of lavender. This does not evaporate
quickly and is said to be a good protcc-
ton The most lasting application Is said
to be an ounce o oil of citronella and four
ounces of liquid vaScline.
Concerning screens and canop'es. the
pamphlet says that twenty mesheS to tn"
inch are fine enough to keep out all mos
uIIitoeS, hut that nothing CoarScr is safe.
IT i very hard to keep screens and net
tings absolutely tight, and one recon-
menda alton to aid the defense Is to paint
them lightly with oil OF citrOnelia or kero-

In number of cases the domestic peace

Bridge is Losing Ground.
Bridge is losing it's hold lately. Recently
an inquest was held on a Streatham lady
who committed suicide after losing some
rubbers at bridge. 1t was stated that she
was, as a rule. a first rate player but
that on the evening Of her death she
played very badly and lost games she
should have won easily.
This tragedy is another example of the
unsuitability OF card games to the femi-
nine temperament Many women are ad-
mirable bridge players, as far as mere
skill and knowledge are concerned, but
they are nearly all bad losers. They are
too emotional and too easily upset by the
outrageous tricks that fortune 80 often
plays
This is really a reason why bridge has
lost its popularity and is so rapidly falling
out OF fashion. When the game was at
the height OF it's vogue its supporters were
mainly women. Mixed card clubs. /. e..
clubs where men and women could meet
for bidge. sprang up all over London.
Strain Too Much.
But the women could not stand the
strain. The game got on their nerves and
the clubs being pleasant for social gather
lngs. degenerated into nagging and 'hys-
terical institutions.
There were no suicides, but there were
minor tragedies in abundance. Husbands
complained that their wives returned home
