convention Of the New Jersey mos
quito determination commission, to-
day proposed that trap be devised
TO catch mosquitoes, not for the pur-
pose Of corraling all mosquitoes on
The wing but as means of detecting
the particular special of insects in
any locality and as an aid in locat-
ing the breeding places.
Mosquito fighters have heretofore
endeayored to get this information by
grofner into bushes at twilight and
capturing the Jersey BIRDS in bot
ties as they alighted on the collectors
arm, but, according to DIR. Headlee,
some persons attract mosquitoes and
others do not. This, he said, was be-
cause the mosquito has very SEN
sitive sense Of smell and detects the
slightest variation among individuals
1t is DR.. Headlee's purpose to work
ont some sort of trap in which ma
terials having attractive odors are
used.
