The Nations Roads.

Recent information from the United
States Department of Agriculture calls
attention TO the road building program
contemplated by sundry governmental
agencies for the next decade or two.
Under the plans adopted there will be
built, during that time, lSO, 1000 miles of
improved highways, which will con-
stitute the Federal-aid highway system,
and an equal or greater mileage of
State and local roads. The cost of
the Federal-aid program alone is es-
timated at approximately S5,OOO,OOO,-
600.
1t is understood that those in charge
of the development of the program
have planned the network of roads
with an almost Teutonic precision
In 20 years, the United States will
have a system of improved roads SUI
perior to that Of any country in the
world, and one which; like the old
Roman system, will be truly national
in character.
The building of improved roads and
the advent of the automobile have al
ready rcvolutionized the rural life of
America. The present plan, when COM
pleted, may bring about even greater
changes in the distribution and occu-
pations of our entire population, and
will undoubtedly prove an incalculable
asset to the nation.

 he was committed to the county jail
 Over three years ago five War Risk
 Insurance Treasury checks were re-
 ported as having been CaShed, which
 were never received by the people to
 whom they were made out. All the
 evidence obtainable pointed the finger
 of suspicion to a clerk in the Noble
 station.
 Tn March, 1919, Mrs. Florence H:ltz
 Twiss sos Beach street, complained
 that she had not received her check. Upon investigation it was discovered that the check had been cashed. Ger

ALDERMAN KELLY FAVORS SEPARATE
 CITY ELECTIONS

Alderman Eugene c. J. Kelly of the Third district will present a reso- luton at the August meeting of the Common Council which would have city officers and aldermen elected in April instead of at the general cleo ton in November. Ald derman Kelly believes that voters would have more time to select candidates if elected in April.
 He states that at the November elections, voters have not the right opportunity to think when they are compelled to vote for state and na- tional at the al the same time they vote for city officers and aldermen.
 Twenty years ago this system of voting, suggested by Alderman Kelly, was in vogue but was abolished be- cause of extra expense. Alderman William Hogan now has a resolution pending in the council, asking that aldermen be elected at the time q mayor is, thus eliminating voting at alternate years for aldermen.

BREEDING OF MOSQUITOES.

Where Go maIarldl mosquitoes
breed In water-in still water and
in pools and grassy edges of running
water.
How do these mosquitoes breed?
They lay their eggs on the surface
of the water. These eggs float, anu
in few days hatch into larvae, or
"wiggle-tai1s.' These live in the
water, and in time turn to pupae, or
"tumblers," which turn to mosqui-
toes. There are four changes in the
development of mosquitoes just as
FOR butterflies; the eggs for both, tn,
larvae in the place Of the caterpil-
lars; the pupae in place of the cryss
lis, and the mosquitoes in place OF
the butterflies. For mosquitoes all
these changes must take place in
water, and for Anopheles will take
place from II to 16 days in summer
weather-lcnger in cool weather.
Can one tell the larvae of the
Anopheles? (malaria1 mosquitoes }
Yes. The Anopheles larvae lies at
the top of the water and parallel tc
it, for all the world like a basking
pike. The larvae Of other mosqui-
toes hang from the top, head down
ward. II the later are touched, they
will always dive. If the Anophe1es
larvae is touched, while it may dive
it will generally "scoot" backwards
along the top Of the water. They
are not a bit alike, and once seen no
one will ever mistake one for the
other.
1c inn o1yf0 0r1f RI 1<.
larvae of Anopheles? Yes; it is far
more important to recognize the
larvae of Anopheles than the mos
quitoes themselves, because this en-
ables us to find their breeding places
and hence destroy them.
In what kind of places do Anophe-
les breed?
They prefer to breed in clean
water, in small, shallow, shady pools
with grassy edges; if with grass
growing in them so much the better.
A marshy piece of ground with small
pools, among bullrushes and sedge,
is an ideal place. The grassy edges
and quiet pools formed by obstruc-
tion on small streams are also favor
ite places, as are cattle tracks. They
have no objection to running water
unless running too swiftly. Some
species breed well in large pools. \
Do they breed in such places only?
They occasionally breed in almost
any collection of water, unless it is
very foul; shallow wells, water bar
rels, tin cans, ETC., especially if they
have leaves or grass in them or the
green a1gae-"frog moss" General
ly, however, they avoid barrels, cans,
and other artificial containers unless
they have grass, moss, ETC., in them.
How long must a pool last to breed
Anopheles? Since it takes usually
about IA days for the egg to produce
the mosquito, if a collection of water
dries up completely in less than IA
days, it is not likely to breed Anophe-
les mosquitoes.
