JERSEY SCOUTS
AFTER MOSQUITOES

In New Jersey the Boy Scouts have
a special mission. They are waginG
war on Mosquitoes. The idea has been
taken up enthusiastically by the scout
masters throughout the state. The
boys are receiving special instructions.
They are taught the kind OF places
where mosquitoes easily breed and they
are urged in their tramps through the
woods to keep on the match for spots
where there is stagnant water and to
study the locality with the idea OF
draining the section. They are urged
not to let tin cans, paper and other
articles lie around after getting their
outdoor meals, but to gather all these
things together, and destroy them as
Ear as possible by fire. At home they
are encouraged to fumigate the cell
lars, drop Il little oil In the rain bar
rel, and to take such measures that
not only prevent the breeding of mos
qultoes, but to drive them away. The
patrols have made point of tramp
ing through the city and gathering up
the empty tin cans in vacant lots with
the idea of destroying them. The work
Of the boys has already had excellent
results.

MARRIED MAN
is Barred by the Government
from Police Service in
the Philippines.

wAsHINGToN, ID. C., Aug. s.
when mans married his trouble
begins" is an old proverb, and Roy
o. Hall, of Morgantown, must have
believed it was the truth when he
got word that he had been rejected
by the government as lieutenant
in the philippine constabulary SER
vice. although qualified in every
other way, because he was married.
Ordinarily the government discrim-
mates against the unmarried man,
If at all, but this time a premium
has been placed on bache1orhood,
and the extraordinary situation has
been created of the government
turning down man for position
for which it admits he is fully quail
fled, because he happens to be mar
ried instead of being n bachelor.
