If breeding places are eliminated

argument.
The league will urge that residents
of the city do not allow garbage to
collect on their premises during the
cold weather; that they care for barn
refuse in the proper manner as or
dered by law; that all outhouses be
screened early enough to prevent fly
breeding and that everybody thor
oughIy clean up In the late winter
rather than waiting until the warm
spring sun has already started the fly
pest.
The ladies of the league feel that it
is necessary to keep hammering away
in order to rid the city of files and
they will not let the matter be drop

the Junior league. reported that
though the boys did some very cred

at the proper time had been neglect

entertaining the boys had been delay

The committee endeavored to as
certain from the various school prin-

recognition for their work. but as no
record had been kept it was decided
that the committee from the league
and Y. M. c. A. who organized the
Junior league last spring, take up the
inspection among the boys them
selves. AS soon as this is done the
league will provide a celebration or

10 hundreds, and the war had
begun
This was in the spring and sum-
mer OF 1911. In 1912 the army
of bats had increased, according
10 the estimate Of Dr. Campbell,
to the enormous number OF $780,
600, II every one Of them de-
strovs 500 mosquitoes per day,
the total diurnal slaughter
amounts to not less than ESQ.,
100000,
NJ we did not know the In
credible rapiditv with which mos
quitoes. flies and such creatures
multiply, We might be tempted to
think that the destruction Of $50
100000 individuals every "a hours
would in few days wipe out Of
existence the entire race Of the
blood suckers
But It would appear that there
are vet enough mosquitoes in the
marshes Of Mitchelrs Lake to
keep Dr. Campbelrs army OF
winged dragons in active cam
paign from March to November
each year
The destruction takes place
mainly in the evening when the
astonishing spectacle of the sortis
of the bat army is to be seen.
The horde comes pouring out for
hours like a dark stream in the
Shadowy air until the entire hal,
million are in motion, sWooping,
turning and darting about in a
bewildering maze Of swiftly cut
circles.
The spectator may well mag
inc that, though many mosquitoes
may escape the slaughter, they
must be too terrified to venture on
distant forays after such an ex-
perience.
Dr. Campbell appears to be
very practical man, for he has
made his gigantic bat house yield
so per cent profit per annum on
the original cost through the sale
Of the guano deposited within by
the bats.
This is an excellent manure,
which when gathered from the
caverns that are the natural
homes Of bats, readily sells at
$50 per ton.
The moral that he would draw
from his experience is: Build bat
houses wherever there are mos
quito-haunted swamps.
The bats will help to protect
you against malaria and discom-
fort by eating the mosquitoes and
in the very act of doing so will
provide q profit for your pocket
or fertilizer for your garden.

a BAT will devour 500 mos
~ quitoes per day. if he can
get them. There is no
food that a bat likes so well. DR..
Charles Campbell of San Antonio,
makes these assertions on the ba-
sis OF a careful scientific study Of
the food eaten by a colony of bats
which he placed under observa
ton.
Starting with this fact DR.
Campbell had the happy idea that
bats might be employed in a war
OF determination against mosQui-
toes. He determined TO try II.
There was a field OF battle all
ready for the contest; it consisted
Of the vast marshes surrounding
some 900 acres of stagnant water
called Mitchell's Lake, near San
Antonio. The air over these
marshes hummed with the trum-
pets of countless hosts Of mos
quitoes
A single bat Dr. Campbell had
discovered, could eat 500 mosqui-
toes in "A hours. But that would
be like drawing a bucket of water
from the Atlantic Ocean in an ef-
fort to dry up the sea. What was
needed was a veritable grand
army of bats This army. once
collected, would have to be in
duced to camp on the shore Of the
lake. and shelter would have TO be
provided for it.
DR.. Campbell had studied bats
in the caverns which they are ac-
customed to inhabit. and he made
shrewd guess as to the kind of
home that would suit them, and
then constructed a model ba
house on the shore Of Mitchells
Lake. 1t is a truncated pyramid
in external form, twenty feet in
height, and standing on four stout
legs ten feet high. 1t is open
beneath, and has, at one side. a
kind of Venetian shutter which
let's in just enough light to please
the night-loving eyes Of bats. The
four legs are protected by pro-
jecting guards, like those which
farmers use to keep rats out of
corn bins, These are to protect
the bats against the invasion of
their enemies, which include rats.
possums, skunks, wildcats and
species Of snake.
Having constructed his bat
house, DR.. Campbell induced n
few bats to try it as place of
residence or, rather, as field
barracks and training ground
for the coming war They liked
it, evidently, for in a short time
their number had been recruited
