west virginias Supreme Court Of Appeals yesterday
handed down an opinion in which it held that the SO
called 36hour law passed al the beginning Of the wal
in this state unconstitutional The basis for this &C
ton is not stated in the newspaper dispatches but 1t
probably lies in that feature OF the act which throws
the burden OF proof upon the accused No one expected
that to stand court test The act was an emergency
measure, and it did lot Of good even though the en-
forcement Of It was not very vigorous, some counues
notably this one practically ignoring it altoeetner Inc
principle behind the act however. is as sound as inc
doctrine that government which provides equal .cp'
portunties Is entitled to require equal responsibilities
and it is to be hoped that West Virginia, which led the
nation in passing war emergency vagrancy measures
will also lead the way in enacting legislation which will
give that principle the force of unassailable statute
status.

MOSQUITO is A
POWERFUL ENEMY
Little Insect Takes Huge Toll From
Country

Scientists say that mosquitoes car
rying the deadly malaria and other
disease germs are responsible for
more deaths than all of the wars since
the beginning of time.
Their bite is often as deadly as a
rattlesnake's.
By every method known to mankind
both national and local health services
are trying to exterminate them, but
this will never be. We must protect
ourselves against this pest. By proper
screening and by a daily spray of
TORMENT the house can be kept
free of all mosquitoes. TOMENT is
a gaseous vapor in which no danger
our insect can live. 1t is death to in
sects but harmless to human beings.
