BATS TO FIGHT MOSQUITOES
Texas Man Believes He Has Found a
Way to at Least Reduce the Plague
of the Insects.

There is man in Texas who has
found out new way to fight the mos
quito. His name is DR.. Charles r.
Campbell He is official bacteriologist
of the city of San Antonio. His idea,
says writer in the Technical World
Magazine, is to employ bats as mos
quito fighters. The neighborhood OF
San Antonio is especially plagued by
mosquitoes-malaria is more or less
rife In that vicinity-and for long
time past the inhabitants of the mu-
nicipality ard it's suburbs have eager
ly sought to find solution of the
problem. Much benefit has been OBJ.
tanned b. keeping minnows in cisterns
and ponds-these small fishes being
greedy devourers of mosquito larvae
but such measures have not alto
gether met requirements.
Bats, as is we'll known, are insect
eaters, and are particularly fond OF
mosquitoes. In the twilight, where
they rove around, they devour inn
mense numbers of the pestiferous in.
sects-their manner being to dash
back and forth through a swarm and
gobble the victims UP by wholesale.
In view of which fact, it occurred to
DR.. Campbell that it might be good
idea to establish in and about San
Antonio number of bat roosts," as
he calls them-that is to say. strnc-.
lures so contrived as to invite bats
for sleeping purposes. He has already
put up two of them. and proposes to
erect others. those already in opera
ton having proved highly successful.

A small, convenient house that may
be built for $4,000 is just what good
many young people are looking for.
The perspective and floor plans here
shown go to make up just such a
house
You can't have everything in little
house the same as in large house,
but you can leave out good many
things that are not necessary; and
that gives an opportunity to retain
the important features. A big living
room for instance is one of the great
luxuries of modern houses.
Not so many years ago everybody
seemed to have craze for double
parlors. An architect was obliged to
design double parlors if he had to cut
them down to ten feet square each.
1t is a curious comment on human
nature that such a foolish fad would
have to run itself completely out be-
fore people were ready to abandon it
for something better. But small
houses are no longer built with double
parlors and the owners OF old ones
are having the partition taken out.
wherever it is possible, and they are
in that way making the two rooms
into one good, big, comfortable. airy,
sensible living room.
We are learning something all the
time. We have learned better than to
cut the front part of house up into
small rooms. Another thing we have
learned is to put in windows enough
to light the rooms and to put them
opposite or on different sides of the
room wherever possible, and another
thing we are relearning is the use of
an open fire. Good houses are all built

 Cotton hovers around 10 1-2 cents, but is influenced somewhat by spec ulation, with half a cent more for high grades. Reports show that Egyptian cotton is above the average crop for the last ten years and is ripening fast. The domestic crop shows a slight indication of yielding in price to the demands of the spinners. The frosts are holding off well, but rains are reported The European market is rather aloof on account of the war in Eastern Europe.
 Cereals show advance in price and stiffening in demand for the same req son,
 Sugar promises an enormous crop, with possible lower prices. Cuba will have a record-hreaking yield of 2,100,- 900 tons. Louisianass crop is report ed short, something like 100000 tons, which may serve, locally, to maintain the price.

 Copper remains high and in good demand electric railway construction needs affording a market.
