MOSQUITOES"


Mosquitoes are enemies to men be-
cause they give them many diseases,
such as dengue fever, yellow fever
and malarial fever
The mosquito has four stages. They
are: the egg, the larvae Commonly
called wiggler or wiggle-taiD. the pu-
pa, commonly called tumbler) and
the adult mosquito.
The mosquito lays its eggs on the
water. In about a day the egg turns
into larvae The larvae feeds on
weeds i'll the water; so does the pupa.
The adult mosquito feeds on weeds and
animals.
There is a mosquito that is called
the anopheles mosquito. 1t spreads the
malarial germs When it bites it seems
to stand on its head 1t has spotted
wings. 1t has habit of clinging to
weeds when the wind blows. 1t sell
dom flies over few hundred yards
away from where it was Matched.
To get rid of mosquitoes the first
thing to be done is to destroy their
breeding places; that is to remove all
things that catch water, such as buck
cts. barrels, cans. caves and cisterns.
The second thing to do is to de-
stroy larvae by spreading kerosene
over the water. The kerosene makes a
| film over the water and the larvae
can not breath. Another way to kill
larvae is put fish in the water.
| The fish eat the larvae. The way to
Kill adult mosquitoes is to burn sui
phur in the house. One may avoid
mosquitoes by screening the house and
putting mosquito nets over the beds.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. = The
Washington government today wait.
ed outcome of steps it has taken tu
support to the limit the Obregon
government Of Mexico against the
De la Huerta revolutionists.
The Hughes Mexican policy will
stand or fall on the farlure or sue
cess of De la Huerta, it is believed
here.
If Obregon wins, Hughes will
probably be credited with a master
stroke IN his support of the present
government Of Mexico.
If De la Huerta WINS, crisis over
affairs in the southern republic may
arise.
The embargo placed yesterday by
President Coolidge on the private
shipment of arms and ammunition to
Mexico, which was admittedly di-
reeted against the De la Huerta
forces, was met with defiance in
revolutionary circles here today.
Revolutionists Angry
Spokesman for the revolutionistS
declared that not only would De la
Huerta continue to get sufficient
munitions Of war, but predicted that
the revolutionary forces soon would
launch major offensive to dis
lodge Obregon from power.
The presidential proclamation, de-
claring an embargo ON the sending
of armament to Mexico, expressly
made provisions for the sale by the
American government of war sup
plies to Obregon.
The United States recently sold
5000 rifles, 100000 rounds of am
munrtion and eight airplanes to Oh
RECON and it is thought that more
such material may be sold if badly
needed by the Mexican government.

FIGHT ON TAX CUT RENDS CONGRES
No Reduction at
AU If Present
ROV Continues

WASHINGTON, Jam. S.-Thc tax
Eight of 1924 is rapidly becoming
the biggest political as we'll as the
principal legislative issue of lhe
year.
The Republican and Democratic
national committees, the cabinet and
:lFthe Headers in. congress have been
drawn into it.
And in spite of the fact that
they all agree tax reduction ought
10 be accomplished, SO bitter has
the struggle become that there is
danger there will be no tax reduc-
tion at all this session.
This is because many Democrats
and some Progressives in congress
deem it their duty to defeat Secre-
tary MELONS, tax program as any
cos. They hold it would BE- better
TO let taxes stay where they are
rather than accept the Mellon prin-
c.ple, which they claim constitutes
an unjust discrimination in favor Of
big incomes
President Coolidge, though i've has
said he will not use a big stick 20
get congress to legislate, is demand
ing there shall be tax reduction. He
has impressed upon the adminlstra-
zion S chief lieutenants his belief
that failure to cut taxes would be
inexcus,.ble and impossible to eX
Tiain 70 the country.
Three Plans Submitted
The situation today is this:
Congress has before it three tax
plans, viz: Secretary Mellon s,
which is the administration S Rep
resentative Garner S, the Democratic
plan, and Representative Fsoar's,
lie Progressive plan.
Mellon s plan is based on tht
theory that tie tax which will pro
Guce the greatest revenue and at
the same Time induce those pos
sessing capital to put it into busi
ness rather than retire it into tax
free securities, is the wises: econ
,mic policy.
Garner s is based On the theory
titt tdA Ituuttipn NIIOult mean tiiN
biggest possible reduction to mass
taxpayers and make up the less Of
revenue by hitting big incomes.
Frear's is similar TO Garner S
with the addition of an excess pro
fits tax to get at the profits OF
''big business.
The hree-cornered controversy
hinges primarily upon Melons pro-
posal to cut sur-taxes on big incomes
