Mosquitoes of 25 Klans in Capital
This Summer, But Some Are PeaceabIe

twenty-five varieties of mosquitoes
may be seen in Washington this sum
mer-and at that the National Cap
ital with its nudholeS filled in is
remarkably free from this insect
pest.
Harrison C. Dyar, curator of lepi-
doptera at the National Museum, has
just completed one of the most ex-
haustive studies ever made of Amer
lean mosquitoes and has incorporated
much of the material of local COL
lectors.
His report shows that some Of the
mosquitoes encountered in Washing
ton do not bite at all, but are shy,
inoffensive creatures that suffer from
the reputation of wayward brothers.
Along the Anacostia marshes, for in
stance, lives the Wyeomyie smith,
very rare, which breeds and lives in
pitcher plant leaves. 1t is small and
stout with silvery scales.
merous here, but never has been
known to bite a warm-blooded ami
NAL. Swarms of them have been
seen attacking frogs. Washington is
practically the northern limit of the
Culex quAnquefasciatus, the common
dunn sized and reddish brown. The
Culex pipiens, the common house
mosquito of Europe, also reddish
brown, is found here. In a George
town water barrel you might sight
a Culex salinarius, that flies up from
the seashore, brown with black
wings.
Mans Real Enemy.
One of the most abundant and
troublesome here is the Culiseta inor-
natus, a large brown mosquito, which
attacks by preference large, warm
blooded animals, including man. A
perfect fiend is the Mansonia pertur-
bans, who will fly several miles, is
a severe bitter, and is so anxious TO
get into houses and attack the
inmates that he will fly down the
chimney when every door and WIN
dow is screened
Here is something to remember
If the Psorophora, very large IN
sect with dusky wings bites you,
Just take it good naturedly and let
him fly away. He is bad bitter, put
DR.. Dyar classes him as benehclal
insect, since he destroys many other
mosquito larvae.

family locally is Psorophora howardii,
who has been observed in past years
about chain bridge. He is very
large, colored brilliantly in blue and
green with dull yellow legs. He also
is ben eficial, preying on other mosqui-
to larvae and disliking the company
of man. The PSorophora Sayi is very
rare in Washington. 1t is large,
with dense, erect golden scales on its
head, and will bite badly, but never
is numerous enough to give much
trouble A very large, black mosquito
with shaggy blue legs, the PSorophora
horridus, probably the most northern
representative of the tropical Amer
lean insect, is sometimes found here
Another large, black mosquito, the
Ps0rophora columbiae, aboundS To-
cally, but is never very troublesome.
1t bites, but there is no severe irri-
tation which follows. Among the
bushes of the river bottom near chain
bridge is found the Aedes trivittatus,
small and brown with broad yellow
lines, which will bite badly any one
who comes in his way but never
comes out in the city streets look
bridge, among the rocks, is found
the Aedes atropalpus, bad bitter, but
restricted strictly to the vicinity of
its breeding place.
Dry Woods Variety.
One of the most troublesome of
local mosquitoes in dry woods is
medium sized black insect with
spotted abdomen, the Aedes tri-
seriatus, which never is very COM
mon, but always a bad bitter. The
commonest and most vexatious of
wood mosquitoes is the aedes vexans.
The females stick to the thickets, and
are fierce, predaciouS creatures. The
males swarm in search of blood after
sunset, often in great numbers.
A small, black mosquito, the Orth-
opodomyia signifer, once abundant
in Rock Creek Park, has practically
been driven out during the past few
years. Its larvae live in tree holes.
The attention given trees in the past
few years has made life almost inn
possible for the insect here.
The Mergarhinus, very large, me-
talic green and yellow, has developed
a taste for honey, and the females
rival birds in sucking a blossom.
The males swarm on poison ivy
leaves. They are very active and
numerous in daylight. One of the
most dangerous local mosquitoes is
the Anopheles cr1lsians which loves
to enter houses and is a bad carrier
of malaria.

Z0NTA CLUB GIVES
JUDGE SELLERS @. X
Work of Handling Juvenile Cases
Endorsed by Unanimous
Vote.

The members Of the Zonta Club Of
business and professional women of
Washington passed a resolution at
ing at the Raleigh Hotel yesterday
indorsing Judge Kathryn Sellers for
her work during her term as judge
of the Juvenile Court here. The club
was particularly interested in the
novel method instituted by Judge
Sellers for investigating every case
before it came to the court and thus
saving many children the hunilia-
ton of having their names put on the
court records, as a large percentage
of cases are thus settled out of
court. 1t is said that many other
large American cities and even some
in foreign countries have adopted
Judge Sellers methods and highly
approve of them.
Given Unanimous Vote.
Miss May Meyers was the Zonta
Club member who presented the res
olution, which was passed by unan-
imous vote. The resolution reads
as follows:
Whereas the Hon. Kathryn Sellers
has about completed her first term as
Judge of the Juvenile Court of the
District of Columbia and has shown,
throughout her term of Office a ready
understanding and intelligent SYM
pathy in dealing with the children of
the District, whose misdemeanors OF
misfortunes have brought them be-
fore her: now, therefore. be it re-
solved, That the Zonta Club of Wash
ington, D. c., place itself on record
as favoring and respectfully urging
the reappointment of Judge Kathryn
Sellers as judge of the Juvenile Court
of the District of Columbia. And it
is further resolved that copies of
this resolution be sent to the Presi-
dent of the United States and to the
Attorney General"
General plans for the annual meet
ing for election of officers of the
Zonta Club were also discussed at
the luncheon. This meeting will be
held next Tuesday evening in the
garden house of the Grace Dodge
Hotel, at $50, when dinner will pre-
cede the election.

Suggests Citizens
Probe Congress
To End Scandal
By the AssociaAed PreSs.

By the AssociaSed Press
NORFOLK, Va, March 2S.-In-
vestigation of Congress by a citi-
zens' committee as a possible solu-
ton to the national oil scandal
was suggested here last night by
Judge James A. Emery of Wash
ington, D. c., in the course of his
address on Government and Busi-
ness before the annual convention
of the North Carolina Pine AsSo-
citation. He said Americans should
realize that the Teapot Dome in

integrity abroad and people should
stop motoring and golfing on cleo
ton day and go to the polls and
vote.

CONGRESS REPLACING
HIGH COURT is SEEN
Proposed Law to Make ANY Act
Passed Twice Constitutional
Is Criticized
HELD TO UPSET GOVERNMENT
Charles Warren Discusses Idea Be-
fore Washington Study.

Charles Warren, addressing wash
ington Study yesterday. said the re-
emily proposed legislation providing
that federal bill which had been
Judged by the Supreme Court as un-
constitutional may by being passed
4 second time by Congress become
Law would not be IN fact an
an Amendment OF our form OF gov
ernment.
This said Mr., Warren, would
make Congress the supreme law OF
the land" The fact that the Supreme
Court could pass once on the con-
Stitutionahty of a federal enactment
would only delay the utternace of the
last word in supreme power, which
would be in Congress. and, if that
body so desires. it would overrule the
what should be the law.
Sees Congress Supreme.
'"This destroys the Constitution
and makes the power of Congress
absolute. The rights of the states
disappear. the federal republic dis
appears and q supreme centralized
power in Washington is the law of
the land if it chooses to legislate
twice on any matter.
We must understand that ouI
form of government has one neces-
sary and inviolably secure branch
the Supreme court, ana IIle rest VIII
Inevitably endure"
other attacks upon the court Mr.
Warren characterized as misconcep-
tion OF facts and presupposition OF
an evil which does not exist. "Oi
the $4,000 decisions of the supreme
court 5000 have dealt with enact
ments concerning the Constitution
said Mr.. Warren. Mine of these 5000
decisions have been by a 5-to-4 vote
OF the nine only five would arouse in
terest In 135 years the fact thai
five decisions Of the supreme court
should have been so close Is not
enough to challenge the wisdom OF
the administration of justice by thai
body.
Minority Still Could Rule.
Newly proposed legislation would
require the vote of seven judges for
decision on the constitutionality
OF any federal law Again Congress
would take to itself the power OF
supreme arbiter of justice, for though
a. majority of the judges. or ever
six of them, should decide against
the constitutionality of an enactment
and it is the will of Congress thai
the three indorsing Its act shoulc
prevail, it becomes law. This Is no,
the decision of the court; 1t Is the
decision of Congress.
sIr we are to change our form OF
government let us do it openly, Let
us be honest and let US tell the
people frankly.
