MOSQUITOES
Pest Which Causes Suffering and
Annoyance

Mosquitoes are mans inveterate tor
mentors and foes. AT the seaside, OF
the undrained prairies of the West and
Northwest, in the far North, by wood
land pool and mountain meadow these
bloodthirsty brigands in countless
myriads waylay the individual on bust
ness o. pleasure bent.
Swamps, ponds and marshes, how
ever, are not the only places which
breed mosquitoes. A little rain water
in an old tin can or undrained roof
gutter, if neglected, will supply mos
quitOeS for a town or city neighbour
hood, spreading discomfort, causing
insomnia and tempting to profanity.
If mosquitoes were merely a bother
some plague. there would be ample
justification for unrelenting warfare
against them, but when it is consid-
cred that several species scattered
over the United States disseminate ma
laria, rendering many regions of great
fertility almost uninhabitable, and
that one kind of mosquito found in the
South will convey yellow fever, no ar
gument for fighting them is necessary.

l.oWly Angie ='orm an Aid
IN Ferti lzInu Inc Soil,
al Authority Declares

That the despised angle worm, which
for ages has been the choice food of
Ithe robin, the terror of Little Miss
Muffets' and the joy of fishermen, has
all this time been working for the
benefit of mankind without any par
%ticular credit is an interesting faci
brought to light.
According to Prof. Frank Smith 81
the University of Illinois, who is ali
authority in this country on angle
worms, most of the real grounds for
complaint against the angle worm Is
due to an introduced species which is
common in the northern tier of states.
There are few infected areas, some of
which have their origin traced back
to accidental importation by the trars-
plantation of trees from northern ILL.,
nois. These worms are of large size
ana have the habit of pulling leaves
and small twigs into the mouths of
their burrows, and together with the
earth brought up by them, they form
The little mounds which make the sur
face of a lawn quite rough, and hence
they make moving more difficult.
Professor Smith states that apart
from the roughness of the surface of a
lawn, the results of their work is
doubtless beneficial. An earth worm
makes its burroW from one to three
feet in depth, these burrows providing
means for conveying surface water to
deeper layers, and also for aerating
these layers. In this work they have
been important agents in making the
soil fertile through the years.

Swallows Feed Almost
Entirely Upon Insects

If you want to free the neighborbood
of mosquitoes, encourage swallows to
make themselves at home, a Y a re-
port of the American Forestry asso-
citation. These birds feed almost en-
ltirely upon obnoxious insects and they
will do much toward protecting or
ichards and other trees from insect
pests. No better investment can be
made, therefore, than some houses set
out for martins or other swallows. OF
the blue swallows the purple martin is
the largest, the male being entirely
blue above and below, while the female
is blue above with a gray breast. Swal-
lows are highly migratory, most of
them spending the winter in South
America.

Dancing, Saturday Night
Program for Raitians in
Their Little Villages

Dancing to the music of a drum, sax
OphOne and flute is the chief III of
amusement for Haitians in their little
villages on Saturday night, according
to an article by William Almon Wolff
in Golfers Weekly. Beginning at sun
down every Saturday night, he writes,
One will come to a wine shop, If one
follows the sound of the drum. The
drummer sits outside. His u~nceasing
drumming marks the rhythm of the
music; what melody there is, is borne
by a flute, and almost always there
is a saxophone. The music is the same
at every dance. 1t is in common time !
a single cadence is repeated, over and
over again.
Dancing in Haiti resembles the satur7
MALTA among the Australian aborigines,
Mr.. Wolff writes. The dancers are
frank and unashamed, and one gets
little or no feeling of a personal note
between the two one sees dancing !;
rather they are staging a spectacle.

LOVE IN COTTAGE
-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

They may talk of love in a cottage,
And bowers of trellised vine
OF nature bewitchingly simple,
And milkmaids half divine;
They may talk of the pleasure of sleeping
In the shade of a spreading tree,
A1el walk in the fields of morning,
By the side of a footstep free!
But give me a sly Irritation
BY the light of a chandelier
With music to play in the pauses,
And nobody very near;
Or a seat on a silken sofa,
With a glass of pure old wine,
And mamma too blind to discover
The small white hand in mine.
Your love in a cottage is hungry,
Your vine is a nest of flies
Your milkmaid shocks the graces,
And simplicity talks of piesi
You lie down to your shady slumber
And wake with a bug in your ear,
And your damsel that walks in the morn~
ing
Is shod like a m%ountaineer.
True love is at home on a carpet,
And nightly likes his ease
And true love has In eye for a dinner,
And starves beneath shady trees.
His wing is the fan of a lady,
His foot's an invisible thing
And his arrow is tipped with a jewel
And shot from a silver string.

The Position Of Peggy Harper
Leonard Merrick Proves Starving
Is Not a Boon to the Artist

skelter method by which minor roles
were filled in the smaller English COM
panies some years ago. Probably cast
ing is a much more exact science in
Amer ca to-day. but even yet there is
no thoroughly adequate system by
then obtain start on the stage. 1t is
true that in this respect the theatre is
more farseeing than many of the other
very young players, but, on the other
hand, every now and then some mature
player arrives on Broadway. and, after
his talent is acclaimed and everybody
asks where has this man been all
these - rs =" rs o.1 tHAt he has
been playing in stock in Rochester, or
Toledo, or Newark, where anybody
might have picked him up rs m: terial
for advancement years before.
1t is something of blot on all forms
of art in America that in no profession
except baseball is the search for new
talent diligent and careful enough to
cover every village and hamlet. If Al
Simpkins or Joe Spruggles. in the
tinest Of upstate towns, can throw a
good curve and get it over the corners,
John McGraw or Pat Moran or some
body else will give him his chance i'm
mediately to prove his worth in fast
con,rany. Opera im?rcsarics and pub
fishers are not so farreaching in their
investigations, or so quick to act
In one respect it seems to US that
Leonard Merrick is little unfair He
seems to US overly irritated at the
success Of mere good looks on the
stage. His hero in "The Position of
Peggy Harper" is a young actor and
playwright of skill who never attains
anything more than the slightest meas
main unrecognized by an Indifferent
world. The heroine is a pretty young
miss without the slightest prctensions
to dramatic skill who succeeds enor-
mously because she learns a trick of
folding her hands behind her back and
fitting up her chin little. And yet
we will wager that in his day Leonard
Merrick himself has applauded
actresses who had no other claim to at
tention than this same chintilting
trick. Just so long as a great number
Of plays are inconsequential it will be
hardly fair to expect that no person
able but inconsequential actresses shall
be chosen to play them
Although "The Position of Peggy
Harper" was written several years
ago we ma Cudt tusle aic ~ ieu'
some points of contact between the
stage of which Mr. Merrick writes and
the American stage of to-day. A
dramatic critic to whom one of the
hero's plays is shown reports: ~ think
he lacks one very desirable quality
when say desirable | mean desirable
for long runs-he lacks the so-called
optimism that's always popular; he
shows Affections to be Affections, in
stead of representing them as ultimate
boons. If nursegirl went mad and
cut the baby's throat in play Of Mr.
Tatham's, we shouldn't be told at the
end that the baby's parents and the
nursegirl's we're filled with the peace
of perceiving that all things worked
myste eriously for some great and illu-
minative blessing. That's a mistake
commercially. No bland lie can be toe
preposterous to win wide approval"
