curious circumstance incidentally
noted by Professor Ball was that some Of
the mosquitoes arriving from Florida were
OF the species called AedcS SoNicitdnS-the
migratory salt-marsh gallinipper with
striped legs that is the Jersey skeet par
excellence. and which, flying far inland,
makes itself nuisance over thousands of
square miles of territory in the northern
coastal region.
The results of the scientific researches of
Professor Ball are of far-reaching import
ance. Many towns and cities have lately
made appropriations for clearing up local
swamps and marshes to rid the neighbor-
hood of mosquitoes. a great deal of money
has been spent in this direction, and yet
the pest has not been fully eradicated
Nobody heretofore has ever suspected
that mosquitoes bred from fifty to one hun
dred and fifty miles away might arrive TO
torment far distant locality
Another popular error has been the idea
that mosquitoes do not stir abroad when
the wind is blowing.
Still another false notion was the idea
that the mosquito did not remain long on
the wing, but was sure to light and rest
before many minutes.

to be about when a brisk wind is blowing.
and, furthermore, that a mosquito has suf-

keep Its wings going continually for at
least fifteen hours at a time.
or course the mosquito does not actually
fly by its own wing power $50 miles 1t is
only when the wind is blowing that the
mosquito can cover any such distance
But it makes very little difference in the
seriousness OF the matter whether the mos
quito makes the trip by its own wing power

are prepared, they say, to spend forty
to fifty thousand dollars to test the
efficacy of this process for the vitally
needed bottoms.
The welding idea, with several va
riations, had been tried heretofore for
repair work and is said to be used by
the Germans for submarine building
The process being tried by the Emer-
gency Fleet corporation, however, is
said to be a speedier and simpler in
vention designed by A j. Mason, a
marine engineer of Chicago, who is
serving with the fleet.
In the close race between German

laggard yards are to have short
shrift. Government seizure Of four
yards, described as "sick," is being
considered seriously by the shipping
board. These yards are somewhere
between Baltimore and Newark" but
not in either of those cities.
The yards already with contracts
must produce, according to schedule
at least, or they will lose their con-
tracts, as some have done already, and
be taken over to federal management.
The boards general policy was reit-
Grated this evening, that present
yards must deliver ships or be made
to deliver them, and that new yards,
with new overhead costs and new
chances for inefficiency management,
would not be developed. More ways,
instead, will be added to other yards.

of it might make it appear impossible
Of attainment were it not for the fact
that the American family's ability to

demonstrated. The great canning ef-
fort for the year 1917 has been esti-
mated at $50 million packs by officials

The method of arriving at the esti-
mated country wide pack for last year
is interesting. Eight Of the principal
concerns in the United States manu-
featuring rubber jar rings reported a
production for use in home canning
of 836,761 ,248 rubber rings. Retailers
and jobbers, it is understood, carried
over from the year 1916 large sup
ply of rubber jar rings. Taking into
account the special caps that we're
sold and the use Of jar rings sec

safe to estimate the number of packs

WOMAN POLICE FORCE.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 Washington, March 5.-The War department has established woman police force.
 With more than a million and half men already in khaki, and mil lions more awaiting the call to the colors, the department has turned to ance in disposing of vital wartime problem.
 Thousands of young women have the so-called weaker sex for assist gone to the vicinity of the military camps. To see that these girls are protected from dangers, the depart ment's commission on Training Camp Activities has appointed fifty-five women deputy sheriffs to do scouting and patrol work. In all parts of the country the women are on duty under the supervision of especially estab- lished Girls Protective Bureaus.
 Girls actually resident in the vicin- ity of the camps are protected. Run- aways are restored to their parents, and amusement places are scruten- ized carefully. The work offers an opportunity for the officer to exer- else discretion, sympathy, and knowledge of human nature that par ticularly are her own.
 These women are trained sociologi- cal workers and so peculiarly equip ped for efficient service. Their duties are intensely personal in character and are concerned chiefly with indi- viduals. Although cooperating close ly with the military authorities and local police, they wear no uniform, badge or distinguishing mark of any kind.
 "Often", says Miss Maude Minor, chairman of the committee on Pro- tective Work for Girls, "the women protective officers find girls in the vicinity of the camps who are attrac- ted by the presence of the uniform. Some of these are girls who have an- swered advertisements and who ar rive in camp cities with insufficient ' funds; others are runaways from their homes in nearby cities and country towns. A girl resident of the town, who is disposed to resist discipline, is taken to her home by the woman officer and her mother warn ed of her danger. The officers also visit nearby amusement places to discover young girls who seem to need protection and to see that local ordinances are obeyed."

However, this should not be necessary, for the voice of the people has spoken on the sub- ject of special session, and the gov ernor would make no mistake in plac- ing the state to the necessary ex- pe1ise.
