As It Was

at Time was, and not so very long
VI ago, when the general public held
to the impression that Gas Company
could only see things from their own
point of view. The public, as far as
they-the Gas Company-were con-
cened, had only to pay their bills. A
complaint from a consumer, whether
well founded or not, was as water to a
ducks back. After several vain attempts
to right wrong, fancied or real, the
consumer would give up with the re-
mark, 20, well, what can you expect
from a greedy corporation?" Did any
one ever speak good word for the Gas
Company he was at once put down as
stockhoIder, or, worse still, a paid en-
pIoyee boosting their game.

What Happens Now

NT If for some reason you believe your
VI gas bill is excessive, it is no longer
necessary to feel that you cannot go to
the office and have the matter taken up
very promptly, in fact, the company
would deeply regret your failure to do
so. The policy is to keep in personal
touch, as far as possible, with every con-.
sumner In Ell Paso. Their interests are the
Gas Company's. Come in any time and
talk it over. The manager will always
be glad to see you.

gallant Marquis de Lafayette was ens tertained in the house. a band of In. dian chiefs was feasted there, Dr. Ezra Stiles, president of Yale College dined there with General DeRocham- beau, and on March ?, 1782, no less a person than George Washington slept in the northwest chamber. sl4.
 Thus the old Vernon house was the scene of a gay pageant of events, the meeting ground for grave conferences and the hospice for noted men until the French occupation came to an end in August. 1782.
 In Modern Times.
 With the withdrawal of the French troops William Vernon returned home and took a share in rebuilding ths prosperity of the town. He died in 1906 and his son, Samuel Vernon, carried on tf1e family traditions of patriotism and hospitality. After him only one more generation of Vernons lived in the old house-the family of Samuel Brown Vernon, his young est son. This last MT. Vernon died in 1858, and in 1872 the house was sold.
 From this date on the fortunes of Vernon House have fallen in many places. Twice they have been linked with connections of the past-ence after the dedication of the% statute of Count DeRochambeau in Washington. when French delegates by direction of President Loubet of France pro ceeded to Newport to lay a wreath on teh tomb of deTernays the asso- eiate of Rochambeau. and once in September, 1908. when a bronze tablet in memory of Rochambeau was af- fixed to the house.
 For 9 while the house was the home of HarWood D. Reed. in 1877 it was used as the offices of the United States Geological Survey, in 1912 af- ter MT. Reeds death the property was for sale.
 At the same time the Charity Or ganization Society of Newport was anxious to find a suitable home and the idea occurred to members that not only would Vernon House be suit able for this purpose but it would also be the means of preserving un- changed a fine colonial house An appeal was sent out for a fund for O,0OO. Very generous responses fol- lowed both from interested summer visitors and Newporters themselves. and the heirs of MT. Reed aided
 After the purchase a thorough renovation took place. The old front door and sash of the stair window weer found in the attic and replae- ed; walls were scraped and painted white; a. small space 10 the east of the house was planted with old fash- toned flowers. The second story has been fitted up as a dwelling while the two south rooms on theg round floor are arranged Tor offices, leaving the north or Washington room for occasional use.
 Thus, though the character of it's guests has changed. the doors of Ver- non House are still thrown open in hospitality. Beautiful and well pre- served, the old house renders now service as dignif1ed and worthy as in the days of it's Revolutionary past

TO GET RID
or THE MOSQUITO

ss <
 Dr. w R Britton, state entomolo- gist, tells how to eradicate the mos quito in pamphlet entitled .eThe Mosquito Problem of Connecticut and How To Solve It." prepared at the request of the state board of health. Dr. Britton writes:
 M 'tScreensa1r houses, stables, cisteFns.
 Gut narrow ditches, wherever prac- ticable, to draw off the water. This can be done with most fresh water pools and is the only satisfactory method on salt marshes. Here the ditches sould be eight or ten inches wide, 24 to 30 inches deep and about 150 feet apart, emptying into a larger. central main ditch or creek Shallow pools between such ditches will usual ly become dry in few days, but if between the regular ones. Special tools enable skilled workmen to cut such ditehes in the salt marsh at less than cents per lnea1 foot. The tide rises and falls in these 'ditchess which also allow access to fish so that mos marshes treated in this manner also produce a greatly increased yield of. higher quality of hay.
 s-The salt marshes of Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, Norwalk and Fair field have all been thoroughly ditched eX1l4t4A1 L10 k9eaS5J lAAIS0 SG1LIS, d4l0 other work has been done in certain localities about New Haven, Branford and Madison The cost of ditching salt marsh is usually between $5 and S per acre.
 All small depressions which cannot easily be drained should be filled. or acount of topography, or to fill on ac- count of expense, dredge out a deep pool, drain the marsh into it and stock it with fish. (Adinnows or any small carnivorous surface-feeIing species.1
 .sThe shallow grassy edges of streams sa,Hd spring holes should be deepened and cleaned and the banks made more abrupt to control the breeding of ma Hlarial mosquitoes.
 k .sAl tubs rain barrels, tin kettles and cans, closged pipes and gutters, should be given attention around the home and lon the dumps.
 s.ss Kerosene Cat least on fluid ounce for each fifteen square feet of sur face sprayed upon the water will kill all wriglers in it, but this is tenn porary expedient and permanent work should be done if possfb1e.)
 Inspectors should examine all dit clles on the salt marsh at regular in- terya1s, to remove obstructions and keep them in working condition. This inspection should also be extended to cover all possible new breeding places of the house mosquito, such as exca- svations, polluted streams and recep- tacIes on private premises and around dumps
