ELIZABETH. Aug. 20.-Follow-
ing an all-day conferences on ways OF
overcoming the breeding Of salt
r.srsh mosquitoes it va decided by
deid executives Of the mosquito ex-
termination commissions OF Jnlon'
BERGEN, Hudson. Essex. Middlesex
and Monmouth counties here yester-
day that they will carry out a COM
prehensive program Of experiments
in the next few months. concentrat-
ing their efforts on the perfection of
drainage systems. The appointment
Of an advisory council of consulting
e-ngfueerswras favored, the members
OF which are TO be appointed by
STATE Entomologist Thomas ]. Head
lev. Of New Brunswick, from the per-
sonnet of the county commissions.
This eonuciI viii offer its services to
the field organizations ofthe whole
state and will cooperate with New
York mosquito exterminators.
One of the chief problems to be
overcome, in the opinion of all of the
conferees, is the early spring breed
ing of the salt marsh wrigglers. Even
though 80 per cent. of the last hatch
az MOSQUITOES may be killed off in
the autumn, # was said, the 10 per
cent. escape are able to deposit
enough eggs to produce a o per
cent. erop next spring. The eggs,
living in the mud all winter, are not
injured by frost Or cold and hatch
out and get on the wing with the
ffrst ba1mx weather. The 'skeeter
sIavers are able to cope more eff
NfectiveIy with the inland brdeeing
and a big killing in the autumn
makes It fairly certain that If there
is any early spring breeding 1t will
be light. Walter B. Delaney, SAM

EXPERTS DIFFER IN SELLING IF 30 GERMAN
 SHIPS
Shipping Board Rejects Bids Of Millions for Seized
 Vessels

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Conflict- ing opinions as to the advisability of the immediate sale of the 30 former German passenger liners recently of fered by the shipping board were pre- sented to the senate commerce con- mittee by members of the board.
 Chairman Payne told the committee that the reconditioning of the vessels for passenger service would involve an expenditure of more than $75,000, ,0O0 and offered resolution approved by three of the four members of the board requesting authority to put the ships on the market. All bids recently re- eeived for the purchase of the liners have been rejected.
 Vice Chairman Stevens of the board stated that the vessels should not be sold at this time as their true Valua- tion had never been worked out. He urged that the vessels be recondition- ed before their sale. Estimates of the value receivd by the board, he said had been made with depreciation charge of 5 per cent, while only hper cent should be thus charged off. He placed the value of the fleet at nearly $75 100000.
 It would be tremendous mistake" |" for the United States to sell its war built cargo ships for $100 deadweight ton, Wallace Downey, head of a New York shipyard, told the senate com. merce committee. The cost of con structing similar steel tonnage today he estimated at $163 ton.

 From Incident LAW DENIES HE
 SOFTENED REPLY Europe Asks for Plan of Wilson to Take Place
 Of Councils

LONDON, Feb. 3S.-The emphatic denial of Andrew Bonar Law, the gov ernment spokesman, in the house of commons today that the draft of the reply to President Wilson's note con- corning the Adriatic controversy had been modified as a result of represen- tations from viscount Grey, Lord Rob- ert Cecil and Chancellor of the Ex- chequer Chamberlain, was the only important new development in the Ad- riatic situation today.
 The denial is considered 70 Mus trate the conflict between official and unofficial utterances and to show the anxiety of the British press for full publicity in the face of what Is deemed a great strain between Great Britain and the United States.
 The belief was expressed in diplo- matic and supreme council quarters today by persons who have good know ledge of the councils reply to Pres1 dent Wilson, that the situation created by President Wilson's note is less charged with irritating possibilities than some of the reports have indicat ed.
 Apart from the Wilson factor in the situation, there seemed to be in off cial circles today belief that the council would be able to settle the matter without great difficulty. Much is expected along this line from the known moderation of Premier Nitti oi Italy.

LABOR MUST AID IN LOWERING IF
 |COST IF LIVING
 |S A ' 5 OFFICIAL
Much Money and High Pay Leading Reasons for
 Fl. C. of L. BROTHERS ARE A SMALL FACTOR Sixty Minutes Work Each Hour Necessary for
 All Workers

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-Profiteering is the last and least of six reasons for the high cost of living given today by Howard E. FIgg, Assistant United States Attorney General, at the ninth annual convention of the National Dry Goods association. He asserted how ever, that some of the dry goods deal CTS were guilty of profiteering and should be punished without trial, while he believed all were guilty of having profiteered at some time or other.
 '"The first reason for present condi- tions," said the speaker, 'is the in- creased volume of money and credits; second, the wide increase in wages, due partly to war necessities ana gov ernment wage scales; third, lessened world productions; fourth, increased cost of distribution; fifth, recKiess ex- travagance and a spirit of speculation, and sixth, profiteering.
 Labor Must Help
 MT. Figg predicted that there would be no appreciable price reduction until labor considers itself part of the whole of industry and consents to CO., operate
 'I do not mean" he explained, that labor must give up it's short work days and it's high wages, but labor must work a full 60 minutes in each hour"
 Labor must be made to see the po- sition into which it is putting the en- tire industry of the world, MT. Figg said, adding that no appreciable reduc- tion in prices could come until all in- terests, labor, public, the manu1ac5ur- CT, producer, wholesaler and distribut- or, coordinate
 Profits Tax Costly
 The excess profits and luxury taxes are tremendous factors in the high cost of living and one tax which can be controlled "at a central point y must take their places, MT. Figg said, explaining that this meant a single tax on the ultimate consumer. He declar- ed himself personally opposed to inter- ference with business by the govern ment but asserted that during the present emergency there should be regulation, "at least of prorits," bg some agency"
 "I think the retailer has definite part to play in making labor see the light" MT. Figg said. You retailers are dictators to the manufacturers and oHOulu IellSCJ tle PuUllS dlIlluuC IO the manufacturer. The public Is. en- tirely saturated with high prices. doubt if it can absorb very much more.
 We are not going to allow you ad- ditional profits for additional risks. Goods will have to be sold at market prices, and will have to be delivered on the contract prices.
 Tt is not entirely the fault of the retailer that prices are high. l think he was largely responsible at the out set for the 'skyrocketing' of prices. don't mean that he was altogether to blame. The consumers uemanos put goods on the auction block. "The retailer was the first to realize that prices were too high. He was the first to appeal to the government" Unless the economic a1fairs of Am erica are speedily adjusted the coun try will have used up it's surplus and I've shall be living on a nerve" Dr David Saville Muzzey, author and edit or, declared.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-An attempt was made in the closing session Of the Ma tional League of Women Voters to re consider a resolution against universal compulsory military training passed earlier in the day. The motion to re consider failed.
 The National American Woman Sui frage association dissolved after fight since 1860.
 Other action taken today included endorsements of the league of nations, with the understanding that necessary reservations were sanctioned. This resolution was warmly opposed.
 The rights of free speech, rree press and free representation were emphat ically supported.

 Proper provisions for education and for increases in the pay or teachers were urged.

SUPREME TRIBUNAL
 TO ACT ON REQUEST
Want Method of Determining When Chief Executive Is
 Unfit for Duty

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-President Wilson's extended illness and the at tendant discussion as to whether he was incapacitated for continuing his duties gave rise today to two propos als in the house to clarify and supple ment constitutional provision on the subject.
 Neither proposal was aimed at Pres ident Wilson, the intent being to de fine the procedure for further emer- gencies.
 The first proposal was in the form of a resolution for constitutional amendment, introduced by Representa- tive Fess of Ohio, chairman of the Re publican congressional committee, pro posing to have the supreme court de- termine the ability of a president to discharge his duties, whenever author ized by a concurrent resolution of con gress. If congress was not slttlnS when the emergency arose, the wee president would be authorized 10 call special session.
 Unless the constitution cApI cssly states that congress shall be the judge of the disability of the executive" MT. Fess said, ''it is argued that it cannot safely be allowed by inference.
 Virtually the same procedure was outlined in a bill iRtrouuced py Rep resentatiye Rogers and referred to the judiciary committee along with the Fess resolution.
 It would provide that the supreme court on the request of the senate or house should determine whether the president "is unable to discnarge the powers and duties of the office within the meaning of the constitution" The same tribunal would be authorized to say whether the presidents inability had been removed, in which case he would be restored to offiI5.
