Call to Arms to War Against
 the Mosquito

New Haven, Sept. Limited effort can rid the State of Connecticut of the mosquito pest which now makes some of our beautiful seashore resorts impossible a place to live in sum mer and which drives many dwe11ers in villages indoors and behind in : efficient screens when they ought to be resting on their porches or in the shade of trees, and which carries the threat of an epidemic of malaria, ac- cording to Dr. E. H. Jenkins of the State Agricultural Experiment Station, who addressed the New Haven County Public Health Association on the mosquito plague today.
 Village improvement societies can do a great public service by seeking and destroying breeding places which will always be found near at hand, he said. They will find them not al- together in swamps and stagnant pools but on dumps-and not seldom in their own back yards and those of their neighbors," he declared.
 Why cannot the Boy Scouts re- membering the great service of the United States Army in cleaning up the mosquito-ridden city of Havana, join in this work"
 Mosquitoes develop only in standing water, Dr. Jenkins said, nowhere else. Half 8 pint of water is sufficient to breed hundreds. Two kinds of mos auitoes develop on the salt mashes while two others, the so-called rain barrel or house mosquito and the malarial mosquito are widely scatter ed over the state.

 It was immediately upon the close of this address that Miss Rutz-Rees arose to seemingly defand the Repub- 4ican party which sine said was not entirely. composed Of ruffiians and which held a large number Of men and women who had the welfare of this country at heart and an their own way were trying to benefit it She contended that the Democratic party would win more by strict ad- herence to the true principles of the party than by all the mud -slinging which they could devise.
 Lynn w. Wilson was the last speaker. In glowing terms he spoke of the merits of the Civil Service which would do away. he said. with the scram bling for the sptoils of cleo tion after a new administration had been installed.
 Concluding, MT. Wilson said: 'The party that travels the fastest Is the party that wishes to serve the needs and demands of all people, and not merely the people of the party"

FRENCH REBUKE JANE
 BURR ON "SEX SLAVERY

Paris. Sept. 7.-Jane Burr, the American millionairess and enemy to sex slavery" has stirred up some ad- verse criticism in the French press circles.
 ''In a few years,' says Glenn ent Vau- tel in Le Journal, Miss Burr may lose her fortune as well as the roses and lilies in her pretty face. Then she will probably be glad enough to re- turn to her husband. If I were in his place I would shut the door in her face and tell her to go 'au diable' She is nothing but a foolish little per- son who wishes to amuse herself and she has the right. But please don't come to France, Miss Jane, posing as a great woman philosopher to lay the basis of a new sex morality. Offer your arms to whomsoever pleases you I--but fichez-nous la paix!"
