MOSQUITOES SHY

OF YELLOW HUE
Georgia Belle Makes Discovery
Which is Confirmed BY Ex-
perimentS of Physician

Yellow garments as a means toward
driving off the pernicious mesquite
are advocated in an article which ap

might do we'll to pay heed 20 the color
scheme argument
Red has long been known to arouse
anger in the heart of a bull, green
soothes the poor strained nerves OF
humanity, but that yellow should in,
still fear in a mosquito is news 10
most people.
"All YOU need to do in Georgia, .
says the Georgia correspondent, ito
escape attacks by mosquitoes, is to
wear yellow garments. The mosqui.
toes shy at these for some reason
Since the discovery that shades of
yellow fill the little buzzine stingers
with fear and keep them away, near
ly everybody in Georgia who has
heard of the matter is wearing vel
low silk stockings and the like, espe-
cially the women,

correspondent to the Telegram who

which was attacked by a vast school.
or university of mosquitoes, and it
was noticed that she OF all the mad
dened guests remained quite at ease
during one of the most elaborate
ankle patting conventions within the
memory of those present.
"Sne wore yellow stockings of silk,
and when, late in the evening, another
young woman arrived with similarly
colored hosiery, it was noticed that
she too seemed to escape the attacks
of the buzzing assassins. Then dis
cussien started"
The paper goes on to say how a
physician happened to be present who
knew the effects of different colors
upon certain insects, and decided at
once to conduct series of expert
ments on the Georgia mosquitoes.
Accordingly he announced, when
the investigations had been complet-
ed, that some mosquitoes, and GER
tainly those of Georgia, simply dread
yellow as background for feeding
purposes. Since this announcement
yellow has become one OF the most
popular colors in the state.

HOLLANDS PREPAREDNESS.

Though Holland is succeeding in maintain
inc neutrality under severe strain, in many re-
spects the country is almost on war footing.
now in progress and the government is hus-
banding its resources apparently in the exlnec-
iaton that it may be drawn into the conflict
By adoption of the landstrum bill on July 80
the total number of trained soldiers in IIol-
land will be increased eventually to approx
mately $4,000 instead of $4,000 who are now
under arms, reports the Associated Press cor
respondent at Amsterdam.
The bill provides for the calling up of men
who hitherto have been released from service.
These include certain categories of students;
those who are supporting families and those
who have been relieved from military duty be-
cause they have brothers already serving.
Rhe yearly class of military age averages
abont $4,000, of which only $4,000 are incor-
porated in the army. OF the $4,000 who escape
service 1900 are regarded as physically unfit
and $4,000 are relieved for causes above men
toned
The new law calls Systematically to the col
ors those men who were formerly relieved. The
Youngest class which is due to present itself
in 1915 will be Incorporated Immediately for
four months training. AT the same time an
equal number of the oldest men who have
served since mobilization will be sent to their
homes Thus the army actually with the colors
will remain at the same strength as now. Men
liable, who were not called up in 1914, will be
called up for a similar period after the 1915
class has completed its course and the next
oldest class of men will be automatically re-
lieved. Then will follow the class Of 1913 and
other classes in order until all fit men up to 80
wears Of age have received military training.

THE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION.

The city planning commission ordinance is
making slow but apparently steady progress
through the mill of parliamentary procedure
and wall probably emerge from the supervisors
hopper within reasonable time.
Since this commission was proposed, the idea
has met with growing favor. There is no ques-
lion that if any city needs systematic, expert
and sympathetic planning, it is Honolulu Nor
Is there any doubt that with such planning
Honolulu could become one of the wonder
cities of the world
II will never be famous for ancient and pic
turesque ruins, for magnificent medieval archi-
lecture, for mementoes Of mighty civiIiza-
ton crumbled into dust. It's relics of the his
toric past are few, for by their nature the
things of the past were ephemeral Honolulu IS
beauties will be those of the living present. By
these it will be judged by visitors and residents
And Honolulu has an unrivaed opportunity to
become known to the world as a beautiful,
clean, healthful, modern city--the model city
of the Pacific. It's climate insures nneqnaled
sahbrity. No other city in the tropicsor near
the tropics can vie with Honolulu in healthful-
ness in comfort, in facilities for recreation
Nature will meet man half way--more than
half-way--in every effort to promote the clean
illness and healthfulnesss of this port.
Only careful and faithful system will realize
the greatest possibilities for Honolulu. What
owner; Of an estate he wished to make beauti-
ful would proceed without plan, without the
advice of asskilled landscape gardener! What
man would build great mansion without en-
ploying an architect The building of a city
is no different in principle. Left to grow hap
hazardly it will inevitably be shabby, in
congruous growth.
The city planning commission, as proposed
BIZ the ordinance now before the supervisors
Cor third reading, would place in.the hands of
an appointive body the duty of supervising
the city's growth in certain definite ways; and
would give to this body the right to make
recommendations and suggestions as to beau
tiiication and adornment. It's powers would be
broad, as the work is broad. It's functions
would be largely advisory. Sucha commission
will be valuable in proportion as it is made up
Of men and women who have ideas and ideals
for the good of their city, and the energy tol
sec that these ideals are translated into the
material things of parks and Fairgrounds,
honlevards, stately buildings-and cleanliness
through and through.

Germany has already found it wise to apollo
gize for sinking a neutral vessel in her all
inclusive submarine warfare, so that if she
disavows intention or responsibility in the
Arabic ease it will not be establishing prece-
dent.
Early in August Germany informed Norway
that the singing of the steamer Minerva was
due to unfortunate circumstances which led the
commander of the submarine to believe the
vessel was British. Berlin expressed profound
regret and offered to pay damages.
If some of the submarine commanders who
make these fatal mistakes were to suffer for
their acts there would be fewer accidents

State p~enitentiary for murder, having
been sentenced at the February, 1909
term of Circuit Court of Leflore county.
Sanders victim was well known as a
bad man and worthless character and
appears to have been . trouble maker
generally. Sanders has served the State
well and faithfully as q trnsty nearly
all of the six and a half years of his
confinement and has made a model

think he has been sufficiently punished
for his crime and that if given his free
dom will make a peaceful and law-abid-
ing citizen. For these good and sufh-
cient reasons we respectfully ask ex-
ecutive clemency in his behalf.
