BOY, 8, TELLS OF KILLING
PIRATE TO RESCUE SISTER
Pair Found Asleep in Water Street Doorway Excite
Police With Sea Adventure, Only to Be Sent
Home to Terribly Realistic Mother.

Harold Bouchia and his sister Mildred
OF 2SlS Eighth avenue, who are and
years old. respectively, stood up almost
all day yesterday. and II probably viii
be several days before they feel equal
to participating in such pleasures as
sliding down the chutes at the public
playground. Their condition, which they
regard as critical Is receipt for what
their mother gave them when she
learned what a whopping big tale they
had told the police about a wholly
mythical and adventurous voyage from
Boston. According to the best infor-
nation obtainable. she gave them ex-
actly what she felt they had coming to
them. and then little bit more for
luck.
Harold and Mildred came to the no
tice Of the Police Department late Sun
uay night, when Patrolman Ernest
Reddin of the Old Slip station found
them sleeping in a Water street door
way. He took them to the station
house. where the police on reserve sent
out and bought them coffee and cake.
Then the desk sergeant asked them
where they lived. and Harold's fatal
gift of imagination began to get the
better of him. He said they lived in
Roxbury, Mass.
1--WE walked to Boston this morn
ing" said Harold, "and we sneaked
aboard a ship and got in New York
tonight"
What happened on the ship?" asked
the sergeant.
The New York herald., 1922-08-22

Harold's fancy scared wild and Tree.
"A great big brown bear came down
where we We're hiding and tried to eat
Mildred up" he said. breathlessly and
then a pirate come with red pai-ts on
and said we'd have to walk the plank.
and then"
''One at a time requested the SER
geant. what happened TO the bear?"
II killed him." said Harold. Il
knocked his block off. killed the
pirate. too, and"
II see," said the sergeant. well.
eat your cake"
SO Harold and Mildred ate their cake
and thought up more whoppers. which
they told to the reserve cops while the
sergeant got ready to telegraph the
Roxbury police. But before this could
be done a message was received from
the Missing Persons Bureau to look for
two children who had run away from
their home In Eighth avenue and whose
description fitted Harold and Mildred
SO the cops telephoned Mrs. Bouchia
and she came and identified the chill
dren as her own.
Mrs. Bouchia said that her son and
daughter recently visited relatives in
Boston. and that this was the reason
they knew quite bit about the city.
She took them home. promising them
that they would be rewarded for in
venting such yarns, and advices re-
ceivede by the police yesterday We're to
the effect that she kept her word.

Blames Man Who Said He

SHE EXPECTS A DIVORCE
Mixup Due to Attempt to Ease
Way Into the Country
Decision Is Appealed.

The Viscountess Barengere p. de Bee
delievre. daughter OF the Comte de
Chalet OF France. was ordered deported
yesterday by a special board of inquiry
at Ellis Island after second hearing
OF the case. The viscountess. who ar
rived here on the Homeric of the White
Star Line last Thursday. was ordered
deported under the technical ruling that
she is likely to become a public charge.
although witnesses at the hearing yes
terday testified to her identity and her
ability to support herself.
According to the viscountess, she has
been the victim of a well meant but
crude attempt to get her into this
country. Robert Grant. who describes
himself as golf player, and who gave
the address of Ardmore Park. Pa. care
of George Sears, told the immigration
authorities that he intended to marry
the Viscountess. She had already testi-
fed that she was married but expected
a decree of divorce in October from the
French courts. She was sent to Ellis
Island.
Met, at Monte Carlo.
The viscountess tearfully said yester-
day that she never had any intention
of marrying the young golfer whom she
met on the links at Monte Carlo. The
reason she told the immigration officials
that she might marry him was because
she believed that this might get her
into the United States and save her the
inconvenience of being deported On the
strength of her denial of the previous
story. told at an inquiry. the officials
decided to deport her.
Miss Alice Reynolds of 238 Walnut
street. Brooklne. Mass, a friend OF the
viscountess. arrived at Ellis Island yes
terday just before the second hearing
was called by Assistant Commissioner
Harry r. Lands. head of the Appeal
Division. Miss Reynolds told Mr.. Ian
dis that she knows the viscountess's
family WE'LL Mr.. Landis called a second
hearing, which also returned a verdict
for deportation.
An appeal has been forwarded on be-
half of the Viscountess to Secretary OF
Labor Davis. He can admit her to the
country under bond as visitor or under
any other classification he may desig-
nate. If the appeal fails she will be de-
ported.
Child Started Trouble.
There was no such understanding be-
tween Mr.. Grant and myself" the Wis.
countess said yesterday. Il am not go
ing to marry him and never thought Of
such a thing. He was merely a good
friend of mine and took what he thought
the best way of getting me in. Now he
has gotten me into as much trouble as
If he never tried to help me and ] must
go back. 1t Is a well meant but unfortu-
nate condition"
The viscouritess was brought to the
attention of the immigration officials
when they questioned her maid. who
carried young child. The child was
that of the maid and the officials wanted
a guaranty that 1t would not become a
public charge. The party was then taken
to the island, where the viscountess was
also questioned and the officials decided
to exclude her.

Irish Call on Republicans.

2i0 East Eighty sixth street, last night
the Friends of Irish Freedom condemned
the action of the Democratic and Re-
publican bosses in their repudlation Of
Surrogate Cohalan. Resolutions were
passed. which said
"John r. Cohalan has served the peo-
pie of New York county with unsur-
passed distinction during the last four
teen years. We appreciate the attitude
OF the many New York daily newspapers
and their exposure OF this high handed
act Of treachery on the part of the
bosses We request the representative
men and women OF the Republican party
to see that this action Of the bosses be
reversed and that John r. Cohalan be
designated by said party as was so
wisely done in the case Of Justice New

FIGHTING THE MOSQUITO

The only way to fight malaria
with any success IS to fight the ma
laria mosquito, and the best way to
fight the mosquito is, as in the case
of the fly, in his breeding places.
Few communities and localities
are fortunate enough to be free
from the mosquito, but many of
them do not have the Anopheles,
which is the only mosquito in whose
body the malarial germs will live
long enough to be carried from one
person to another. Other varieties
of mosquito. however carry yellow
fever. dengue fever, and filariasis,
and even the bite of the ordinary
mosquito is extremely poisonous to
some people, causing swollen places
which may become infected if the
skin is broken by scratching.
Mosquitoes breed in stagnaHt or
slowly running water. The domestic
mosquito breeds frequently in small
pools in empty tin cans, flower pots,
cutters. sewers. and small pools;
the malaria mosquito prefers the
margins of bitches and lakes,
swamps, and low bottom lands.
The way to control the breeding
of mosquitoes is to drain or fill in
small uools. clear the channels of
sluggish weedy streams so that the
water may run more swiftly, and
see that barrels. pals, and anything
else that may contain stagnant wa
ter are kent emptied, No tin cans
or empty flower pots should be left
around, cutters should be kept
cleared out so the water can run
through RAPIDLY, and tall grass and
heavy weeds should be kept cut. If
a pool cannot be got rid of, mosquito
breeding can be prevented by nour-
ing a little Kerosene or crude oil on
the water every two weeks. 1t re-
quires an ounce of oil for tach -
square feet Of water surface. The
oil spreads out in a thin layer or
the surface and kills the larwal
mosquitoes because thew must come
to the surface to breathe and they
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-07-03

cannot get their breathing tubes
through the oil to the air.
Fish, frogs, and some OF the
larger water insects eat the mos
quito larvae, and where a pool IS
too decorative to drain or oil, 1t
may be stocked with fish to prevent
mosquitoes from breeding. Houses
in malarial regions should be care
fully screened and the beds pro-
tected by mosquito netting.
Itching and irritation from mos
quito bites can be relieved by 10
ton Of carbolic aicd. To make this
lotion. add a level tablespoon OF
boric acid powder and 20 drops Of
pure carbOlic acid to half a pint of
hot water and stir well until the
boric acid is dissolved. Cool be-
fore using and apply by daubing on
ouires an ounce Of oil for each ID
the surface with an atomizer. Chill
dren should never be allowed to
scratch mosquito bites, as infection
may result.

THE COUNTERPOISE
Lesson No.67

Lesson Most
One of the most efficient meth
DDS of grounding a radio system Is
by means of a combination OF wires,
somewhat similar to the aerial sys-
tenn. suspended a very short DIS
lance above the earth's surface.
This group Of wires. which should
have at least as many wires as the
aerial, is called the cOunterU ise.
Commercial radio stations usually
employ an aerial system supported
bv two masts or towers with the
apparatus installed in a building at
the base of the lead-in which Is US
uallv taken from the center of the
flat top Of the aerial. The counter
poise may consist Of wires radla-
ting like spokes Of a wheel from the
station. The counterpoise is usually
supported on short posts ten or
twelve feet from the ground with
insulatorS at the points of support.
The wires are, in general. somewhat
longer than the wires in the aerial
itself and there are sometimes as
manv as thirty-siX wires spaced
every ten degrees.
Amateur stations which employ
cage type aerials often use sec
ond cage for the coSnterpoiSe which
is generally hung a short distance
above the ground usually about 8
or 10 feet.
The fundamental wave length Of
an aerial system is slightly less
when a counterpoise is used than
when an actual ground is available.
This is because the effect Of the
counterpoise is similar to placing a
series condenser in circuit with an
aerial system employing an actual
ground. The total effective capac-
itv Of the circuit is reduced, hence
a reduction in wave(ength.
