MOSQUITOES ROUTED
BY STATE HIGHWAYS
Proper Draining OF bitches And
Culverts A Part Of Campaign
Conducted By Health
Officials.

That the life of the mosquito is moi
enc round f joyamid hosts of short
skirts and bare arms and necks, is
the positive assertion of highway of
| ficials.
While the famed summer pest still
may drive deep with his drill, and
then dexteriously twirl his pain pro-
ducing saw in many regions-of both
body and country-his happy hunt
ing ground is reduced by every mile
of bituminous highway that is con-
structed, according to the report of an
investigation made recently by sani-
tary experts.
For mosquitoes have a marked
aversion to asphalt, and the native
lake material that forms a smooth,
durable, heavy traffic highway in
these modern days also serves to
drive away the winged creatures who,
without assistance. can make road
NAL failure of the first order.
With the development of the road
building science has come a cores o.
ending advance in the maintenance of
sanitary conditions along highway
construction projects. AS the result
CT a campaign directed by health Of
ticials, holes and improperly drained
bitches and culverts, in which water
formerly collected and became stag
nant, are being filled up or otherwise
properly cared for.
The maintenance of highways, as
we'll as their actual construction, for
merly wa irresponsible for many
breeding places for mosquitoes an6
ether disease spreading insects. Nov
the menace of these holes is realized,
md care is taken that water collect
ing depressions or bitches are absent
from the landscape
Many miles of native lake asphalt
highways are being constructed, and
as they advance toward completion,
the mosquitoes retire from the imme
diate vicinity. So marked has been
this abandonment by the mosquitoes
of former prime feeding places that
health officials have been impressed
in many localities. Not only does the
asphalt provide roads of the most
modern type, but the peculiar manner
in which the components of this road
building material are blended by na-
ture offends the esthetic sense of
and thus helps materially
to improve living conditions.

fore Being Killed.

New YOrk.-A huge cuttlefish stood
mia for 15-minute battle ON the high
seas, according to members of the
crew. The cuttlefish was cast aboard
during storm, and before it could be
subdued injured several men with it's
six-fOot tentacles and bit the ships
carpenter, John Taggart, severely.
The Caronia's 1878 passengers
vouched for the fighting fish. Two
days out from Queenstown heavy seas
washed all over the vessel. On Mon
day morning, when the rough weather
ceased, the carpenter began a tour of
inspection, that stopped in the focas-
tie head, where the cuttlefish, as long
as himself, dashed out at him.
The razor-edged tentacles ripped in
to Taggart's arms as he closed in, and
at bay, the cuttlefish hit the bold car
penter's hands. Taggart retreated,
shouting for help. Members Of the
crew rushed to his aid and Capt. f. G.
Digele hurried down from the bridge
to join the rescue squad.
Man after man turned back from the
faying tentacles, which tasted blood
again and again. Finally dozen
hearty salts armed with varied weap-
ons, ranging from the cooks cleaver
to the carpenters saw, hacked down
the defense and laid low the monster
Of the deep. Just 10 minutes the fish
lasted before he had to take the count.
The body of the fish was brought to
port and was exhibited as proof of the
fight.
