USEFUL MOSQUITOES.

Now comes one, Alfred Russell
Wallace, naturalist, scientific gent"
who has investigated the habits, en-
vironments and character of the mo-
squito, to tell us that that insect is
not without his usefulness. DR. Wal
lace says that during the Summer
months more mosquitoes are to be
found on the icy plains OF the Far
North than anywhere else in the
world. He says that they swarm
there in such numbers as to obscure
the sun like dense thunder cloud.
Those swarms of mosquitoes furnish
food for certain species of migratory
birds which gulp them down by the
mouthful as they fly. We are as
sured that these mosquitoes are cs-
sentlal to the existence of the birds at
this particular season of the year.
II Is well to bear in mind that only
In the Far North has the mosquito
been found to be of any value. In Tla-
wall II is IA case Of kill the MOSQUITO
Or the mosquito will eventually Kill

ISLAND PRODUCE
TO Be GUARDED
Board of Agriculture Approves
Plans For New Inspec-
ton System.

Inter island inspection of fruits, veg
etables, plants and soil is urged by f..
NJ. Ehrhorn, superintendent of ento-
mology, in recommendation submitted
by him to the Board of Agriculture and
Forestry and adopted at the meeting
this morning.
Mr.. Ehrhorn believes that this would
not only greatly reduce the constant
menace of fruit and vegetable pest,
but help the cleanup campaign eff
fectively by keeping down the garbage
from rotten or infected produce.
His plans were approved by the
board and Mr.. Ehrhorn was instructed
to take up with the attorney general
the drafting of the needed regulations.
In his report the entomologist says:
II believe that II is not necessary
to have trained scientists as inspectors
in inter island inspection, but to have
good reliable men fit for police, duty
on the same line as are used by the
health board. The main object in this
inspection work Is to see that no fruits
or into the other islands. and this does
not require inspection for infestations,
generally speaking. Men for this work,
1 believe, can be obtained here.
81 believe that In conjunction with
inter island inspection there should be
established local inspection. which,
for a beginning, could be started with

THAT CIVIC CENTER.

Come, let us reason" is the latest
request Of the Substituting organ.
After having made a great variety
of faces at the people who support
the law of Congress on the Federal
site question, the organ says the only
matter of difference is the civic CEN
ter 1t Is this Observation-Disclosures
the people will stand by the civic
center they have already chosen or
accept a civic center handed to them
by others.
Civic center Is term that has
been played with by site-shifters in
a manner to fool some people, but
not all.
Civic is defined by the Standard
Dictionary as "of or pertaining to IA
city, a citizen or citizenship"
May we assume from this, with the
permission of the site-shifters, that
the civic center must be the district
of or pertaining to the center of pop
ulation?
In this instance the city or civic
center Is the Mahuka site, and Con-
gress in its wisdom has appropriated
the amount of money it deems suni-
cient to properly accommodate n
building satisfying all the require
ments of municipal art, an ornament
to the city, credit to the. country, a
convenient and attractive place Of
business for all persons within Ho-
nolulu.
We fail to see why the Irwin site
should have first claim upon the title
of civic center.
Distribution of the population of
the city does not establish that claim.
The people Of Honolulu have not
declared that the opera house is the
city center and the most convenient
location for the postoOice, the most
generally used Federal office.
Mr.. 'Mumford Robinson, most es-
Unable gentleman has passed his
opinion. But the people of Honolulu
after thinking the whole thing over.
decided otherwise. Congress endorsed
that conclusion and appropriated the
money for the civic center approved
by the people who must use il.
One and one thing only stands be-
tween the fulfllmpnt nf tba ,yish 90
the people of Honolulu and the salts
faction of the law-selfsh interest.
Selfish interest that confessedly is
lighting for the technical delays of
legal procedure rather than a PROMPT
dlspensation of justice applied to
property values.

PASSING OF The TRUCK HORSE

Those to whom the word motor-car
means chiefly, If not exclusively, a We
hicle devoted to pleasure, with mid
night rides predominating, and AFRO
gance and recklessness as inseparable
adjuncts, have given too little thought
to the important development of mot
or-driyen vehicles, and the uses they
have come to fill.
Indeed, II the motor-driven convey
ance had done nothing more than be-
gin its mission of placing the truck
horse on the retired list, it's invention
would have been justified thousand
times over.
To entertain an unfriendly DISPOSE
ton toward the automobile Is, in these
days, to stand opposed to the most
efficient methods of progress. The
motor car has added ten-fold to the
pleasures of the road, and proved of
inestimable benefit in all Instances
where speed and easy going are con-
sidered.
But on strictly unitarian grounds
alone, the application of the motor to
heavy Vehicles has been a godsend.
A writer in recent issue of one of
the magazines shows that the adop-
ton OF the motor truck by brewers,
furniture manufacturers, moving con-
Germs, machinery, coal and lumber
dealers, marketmen and others, has
increased in the most extraordinary
fashion since the first exclusive exhi-
bition Of commercial vehicles In the
United States was held, in 1907. In
many industries the truck-hDrse is
vanishing, and another decade will
find the horse-drawn heavy vehicle NJ.
most as uncommon as the horse
drawn street car was ten years ago.
And this will not mean "the passing
of the horse" as some extremists
