A MKT, Of one part Paris green
to one hundred parts of dust road
dust is good-thrown up in a CLOUD,
to be carried by a light wind and al
lowed to settle on pools where mosqui-
toes breed, is the newest and most
successful method of killing the Larvae.
The minute quantity of the poison is
not injurious to stock that might drink
of the water, and the only possible
danger is that of inhaling the dust,
which can be guarded against. The
Larvae of the mosquito eat anything
that is held suspended by the sur
face tension of water, ard they are
easily poisoned.

SIDELIGHTS ON SPORT

additional argument can be found in
the fact that the Marines could be
counted on to bring hundreds Of
rootcrs here with them and even
should the Wcstcrners agree TO come
here. a ga!ns on Christmas Day with
0uantico would just whet the appe-
tlte for the next big attraction.
