1t takes several months to starve the
mites In an infested chicken house at

test made by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture SOM mites
were still alive after 113 days In an
abandoned hen house. The nests In
dicated, too, that the mites live longer
In damp locations than In very dry
conditions, which accounts, In part at
least, for the Idea that mites are worse
In damp, badly ventilated houses.
The only way to get rid of these
pests Is to break up their hiding
places. Dust baths will not control
them. Roosts should be taken down,
and all unnecessary boards removed.
In badly infested houses the mites are
to be found everywhere, including the
roof. For small coops a hand atomizer
will do for applying insecticides such
as sprays, but for larger houses a
bucket pump, knapsack sprayer. or
barrel pump Is desirable. A rather
coarse spray should be applied from
all angles, and driven thoroughly into
all the cracks. The floor also should be
treated, as many mites fall to the floor
when roosts are being removed.
Commercial carbolineum. which con-
sists essentially Of a high-grade an

against mites. The killing power Of

prepared by the United States Department

The United States Is now In a period
Of great highway development, and In
a few years many roads, which now
carry only local traffic originating
largely within five or ten miles of the
road, will be carrying a large percent
age of through traffic, much Of 1t COM
Ing from outside the state. This is
the opinion of officials of the bureau
of public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, based upon the
report of two traffic censuses taken by
the bureau In cooperation with the
state highway department of Connect
cut.
The roads selected were part of a
fairly complete system of highways.
The first census showed IN average of
2,907 passenger cars and PSI trucks
passing the recording station a day /;
and the second, 1882 ears and 511
trucks. Forty-seven per cen of the
cars came from within the state.
Drivers were questioned as TO length
Of travel for the day. and results
showed average figures Of 70 miles and
52.4 miles for the two censuses.
The average haul for truck traffic
was 47.5 miles. some of them hauling
a distance OF $50 miles. officials point
out that traffic of fhis nature has de-
veloped In a period of something like
ten years on a road which prior to

FRENCH ROADS BROKE

Some persons have pointed to
the macadam roads Of France as
the type Of roads that America
should adopt. Yet these persons
have, perhaps, not thoroughly In.
v~estigated present conditions.
These roads. which have been a
matter Of pride to France for
centuries, are all maintained by
patrolmen. Each man devotes
his time the year around to the
keeping up or a few hundred
yards of roadway. But, even so.
these roads went to pieces when
heavy traffic was put on them
during the war. These roads
were built for horse and foot
traffic, and served that purpose
very well. but motor lorries,
guns, etc. cut up these roads
quickly.

YOU AUTO KNOW

That a llght-coiored blush
smoke emanatlng from the ex-
haust pipe is a signal that too
much lubricatlng oil Is being
used. either because an excess OF
oil Is being fed to the engine OF
because the engine Is being run
too far with the throttle nearly
closed. In the case of a super
abundance OF oil, some of this Is
vaporlzed by the engine and is
forced out through the exhaust
In the form of the blush smoke,
thus subjecting the driver to the
probability Of police action and.
at the same time causing him to
think that his car Is using more
oil than 1t ought to.
Running with the throttle
nearly closed will accomplish the
same result. for this causes a
distinct vacuum In the cylinder
on each intake stroke of the pls-
ton and this vacuum pulls the oil
up past the piston into the com.
bustion chamber, where 1t burns.
Il is for this reason that q car
which has been Lett sta.aine lor
some time with the engine run
ming will often start off with a
cloud of smoke which may last
for a block or so.

The Psychology Of Stutterinu

Suffering, with. which we include
stammering. is the most serious Of
the group of functional speech dis
orders. 1t is present in about / per
cent of the school population. This
disorder should be considered as
symptomatic only. The underlying
trouble may be neurotic, psychoneu-
rotic, or some as Yet obscure trouble
in the control or coordination of the
elaborate mechanism of speech.
We feel that there is some lack of
balance in the motor control of all
these cases, but the most importa MT
thing is the temperamental lack of
ability to make the necessary emo
tional adjustments to life and the use
of speech as symbol of all the hu-
man relationships. In other words.
the fear from which the sufferer
suffers is not fear of speech, but
fear of meeting situations in life,
and speech is the accepted field for
such a symbolization because poor
speech closes the necessary avenue
of approach to life and offers an ex-
cuse fors failure that would other.
wise be lacking.
1t is maintained by some workers
in the field that the mental condition
and the emotional conditions are the
result OF. and not the cause of, slut
tering. 1t would be true, of course
that the difficulty would carry with
large amount of unpleasant
emotional tone. but it is a significant
TACT that the families Of these people

same social disabilities, to a some.
