NATIONS PER CAPITA
WEALTH NOW S2,SOO

New York, May 2s.-The per capita
wealth has increased 1926 since 1914,
it was announced yesterday by the
government loan organization.
1t is estimated that on February 1,
1921, the total wealth of the country
was 100000, 100000. This is an in
crease of $4,000, 100000 during the
last seven years.
If this wealth were divided equally
among 1O1,000,000 persons in the
country each would have $500. In
1914 each would have had $2,564
The practice of thrift during the
war was partly responsible for the in
crease, according to the loan organ
ization. Other factors were high
wages and salaries, the natural in
crement in the market value of pro-
perty during the period of initiation
and the peoples will to work and
produce.

SWAT THE FLY AND
SOUSE THE MOSQUITO
Campaign Against Pests Should Be
Carried on Vigorously.

Now is the time to "souse the mos
quito" The swat the fly" slogan is
we'll known, but many have lost sight
OF the mosquito in their search for the
fly Both are enemies of the human
race and should be campaigned a
gainst at every opportunity, but il is
perhaps not generally known that
everyone can do his or her share in
keeping down the number of mosquito
pests by giving a little thought and
time to the matter now.
Evary stagnant pool, every rusty
tin can with an inch or fraction of an
inch of water i'll it, every barrel or
key containing water is a breeding
place for the mosquito. With the adj
vent of the first warm days these
pests will breed and hundreds of tiny
critters" armed to the teeth" will
sally forth to torture humans during
the Summer. Just recall the attacks
on ankles and the annoying bites"
on other portions of the anatomy
caused by energetic mosquitoes in the
course of last Summer and "hit the
trail' now.
A little kerosene poured on the sur
face OF any stagnant body of water
no matter how small this body of
water may be, will prevent the pos
sble breeding of mosquitoes. So let
citizens arm themselves with oil cans
and make the rounds of their premis-
es. The number of mosquito pests
will be considerably lessened if this
is done. Just enough oil to cover the
surface of the water will prove effec-
tive and the trouble involved is much
less than that necessary to pursue
and kill fullgrown mosquito. Not
merely one pest is killed in this man
ner, but hundreds and even thous-
campaign.
And don't let us forget the fly. Con
ands if everyone will take part in the
tinue to swat and let us remember
that a fly swatted now probably
sounds the death knell of some few
millions of flies which would other
wise make their appearance and make
| humans miserable. And while we are
on the subject, word about rat:
and mice. If there are any traps a.
bout the house get them out ant
set them Let us clean up in this
respect and save ourselves many ag
gravating moments this Spring ant
Summer. Flies. mosquitoes and rats
and mice, are all germ carriers, ant
the harder the fight is waged against
them the better it will be for the
health of the communicates

 Occasionally, very, the car has in it a man who rises and offers his place to lady. Let the bells ring out! Such car should have a gold star on the conductors box so families could talk about it at dinner and children be sung to sleep with it at bedtime.
 But the strange part of it is the lady. She will probably sit down wearing facial expression that plainly says: At last I have got something I am entitled to-" Does she thank the gen tleman for his courtesy Mercy no; it's quite beneath her. She is busily engaged in arranging her skirts so as to show the improper amount of en- broidered hosiery.
 After such a demonstration of bad manners on the part of one of our leading feminine car riders it is hardly likely the gentleman will think it is worthwhile to give up his place the next time, and. after all, you can hardly blame him. It's about time the women gathered in the idea that just because you thank a man for re- linquishing his place in the car for your comfort you don't necessarily have to invite him out to dinner or to play rummy with the family. Of the few who have tried a little courtesy in the street car none have met untimely deaths as a result of 1t, so you see 1t isn't as fatal as one might think from the unpopularity the sport now en- joys.
