Mosquito Can Be Destroyed

tomology in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
BY doing away Win breeding

mosquitoes, by application of oil to
bodies of water that cannot be
drained, or the Introduction of fish in
pools that cannot either be drained
or oiled, millions of mosquitoes may

Dean.
Water is necessary for the life of
the mosquito. The eggs which are

lie to eight eggs, pound of steak, or
half pound of cheese. This is the
statement of the committee on utiliza-
ton and economy, Kansas council of

Milk, it is pointed out, is cheap
tissue builder, because the protein that
it contains is of kind particularly
valuable for building tissue.
Ordinarily milk is the cheapest and
most valuable source of lime and .phos-

the iron that it contains is particularly

Communities CAN
HELP SAVE FUEL
DIRECTOR SUGGESTS
fspecial to the Review

PHOENIX. Ari1.. Dec. Twill L.
Clark. state fuel administrator, has
issued a general circular clearly de-
filming the condition now governing
the state coal supply. During the
past week there has been some com
plication owing to short walkout of
the miners at Gallup. n. NJ. who re-
turned on promise Of the operators to
put into effect the Accent per ton in
crease allowed by governmental or
der in other fields.
This would appear to involve allow
snce of further price increase on do
nestle coal where though only about
25Gt of the mine output has to bear
practically all the burden. The en-
CINE coal, slack and screenings now
are under contract for the railroads
and copper mines at low prices.
Mr. Clark suggested that communi-
ties Can help in the situation by con-
ference between the local fuel COM
mittees, officers and dealers. He
urges that coal men should feel that
they are in the front line of indus
trial trenches as handling an essen
tial basic commodity. He expresses
the opinion that at the end of the war
the miners, operators and retailers
will be found entitled to cOmmenda-
ton. Notwithstanding the present sc.
ries of regulations and complications
they are undergoing. The national au
thorities urge that there could be a
large coal saving by the tightening up
of drafty houses and the cleaning of
furnaces and flue pipes, as SCOT is a
poorer conductor of heat than ashes.

WEATHER CONDITION
CAUSES ZEPPELIN
FAILURES HUNS SAY

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 1.-The German
official view of the disaster which be-
fell the Zeppelin fleet in France. is
that the loss of several airships was
which are unlikely to occur again. II
is asserted that the disaster is not
regarded as any argument against the
use of the Zeppelin as a military wea-
pom. The official Allgemeine Zeitung
says:
Enemy reports at first stated that
as many as six Zeppelins had been lost,
but it is now indisputably established
that only four were brought down.
The real and only cause of the disaster
is to be found in the abnormal wealth
er conditions. One of those who took
part in the journey states that the fog
on the coast was so dense that it was
impossible to see farther than three
to five yards.
"a loss of four Zeppelins is not q
matter of indifference even for the
German air service, but the principal
and a. the same time satisfactory, fact
remains, however much we may de-
plore the accident ,htat the destruc-
ton OF the airships was not the result
of English counter attacks, but was
solely owing to d cOncatenation Vi
unfortunate circumstances.
I'VE cannot be surprised if England
seizes the opportunity for using our
misfortune as soothing syrup for her
population, which has lately had over
much experience of what war means
through the agency of our air raids
In the end it will no doubt turn out
to our advantage if the English dc
lose faith in reliability of our Zeppe
Inns; the more secure the English PEG
pie feel themselves to be, the better il
will be for our airships the next time
they make an attack, for they will be

BASE OF BRITISH GRAND
FLEET, Dec. 1.-The head of the
British admiralty. speaking the other
day in the house of commons, flung
out challenge to the German navy.
He said: Il disclose no secret, or, If
1t a secret, l disclose fact which
should be glad to tell the enemy
when / say that the British grand
feet in its northern base lies behind
no shore defenses, but relies on its
own strength alone"
There are people in the United
States who do not appreciate the ac-
tivities of the British navy in its
home waters: who think that il lies
in idleness, like the German high seas
fleet, behind impenetrable landlocked
bases. For the purpose of removing
this impression the Associated Press
representative was asked to visit the
grand feet, live on board the first
line battleships, and observe just
what sort of days work it puts in
day after day and week after week.
Ceaseless activity is the motto OF
the grand feet. Neither men nor ships
are permitted to gather rust or barna-
cles. From its base at the northern
tip of the British isles IL sweeps day
and night the 100000 square miles of
the North sea on ceaseless vigil, in
unfagging hope that one day its
watching will be rewarded by a meet
ing with the enemy under circum-
stances wherein he cannot avoid bat
tie. Moreover, this sweeping of the
North sea is no mere aimless patrol.
In the most. casual moves of ships
and men there is always a directing
mind and a directing hand. The North
sea is as we'll swept in relation OF its
size as the drawing room of a we'll
ordered house. The enemy's coast
line is still the British navy's from
tier.
The harbor which has been the
home of the grand feet for three
years is probably the finest of its
kind In the world. The whole area
comprised in this British northern
base is about equal to the hundred.
ood square miles which the Germans
evacuated in France last spring. The
battleehip squadron. for example
With their own particular section OF
this Great base, have room for every
kind of practice maneuvers. including
target practice.
On sunny afternoon the CORE

ditions Stimulating those of actual war
fare, and of around the edges various
operations by innumeraSie small craft
and auxiliaries.

ways-an interesting sight The battle
ships steam down the nine-mile
course. Suddenly a searchlight picks
up target. Instantly every turret is

button is pressed somewhere, and the
guns speak as with one voice in gi

echoes from the hills.
