At Scarborough, known throughout
Great Britain as the Queen of
Watering Places" after 200 years of
service, the once popular mineral
springs, have been closed. Scar
borough has long been a place of
recreation. The mineral springs are
said to have been discovered in 1920,
and, towards the end of that century,
the place was Lecoming fashionable,
and a building was erected over the
springs. Then came the earthquake,
following which the springs were lost
for some years, but they were found
again, and the place was a great
resort of fashion in the Eighteenth
century. IN 1777. for instance,
Sheridan could take Lord Foppington
and the rest on a trip to Scar
borough, to teste the noise and
folly of the place.

Setting Little Fish as Traps for
Mosquitoes

mosquitoes
How to get rid Of pests:
For mice-keep a cat.
For mosquitoes-keep a fish.
How Honolulu imported fish as
watch dogs against mosquitoes is
told by famous scientist in a recent
issue of Golfers Weekly.
In the old days the whalers of the
north Pacific used to spend their
winters in Honolulu. In their water
tanks the fierce mosquito of Alaska
used to breed; and there was also
another kind. Neither of them was
malaria bearing, but both could sting
and bite. In Honolulu they made
themselves at home, and the tourist
afforded them special pleasure.
In 1904 the city fathers of Honolulu
raised $500, writes David Starr Jor-
dan, and appealed to me for a fish
which would live in rain puddles and
rice swamps and feed on mosquitoes.
l sent student of fishes with in
structions to try out these local fishes
known to eat mosquitoe larvae
wigglers") He found yellow fe-
yer in New Orleans and so moved on
to Galveston, where he filled tanks
with each of three species. All three
are very hardy and the consignment
reach Honolulu in safety.
The new arrivals proved to be of
very unequal value. The big KILL
fish demanded brackish water and
showed no special interest in mos
quitoes. The handsome Mollienesia
preferred plant food. But the little
Gambusias were in their element.
Placed in shop front aquarium,
filled with wigglers, they at once be-
gan to feast. And they multiplied
rapidly.
Today-thanks to their descendants
it is only in remote or isolated pud-
dies that a mosquito can lay it's eggs

Wrecking All Law

Excelsior Springs did not defend woman's honor
in hanging a negro charged with the crime OF rape
They struck rather at the whole structure OF law
and order They did not punish crime they merely
exalted lawiessness. What occurred in Missouri
makes our protest against Chinese outrages The
more feeble. Human security rests upon the law
and the presumption of the law that men accused
of crime are innocent until proved otherwise. IL
the majesty Of this principle is not upheld then s"
ciety is not safe.
A mob houtng the law does net deal out justice
but outrages society and hits at the very bulwarks
of government. Better tardy justice than mol
violence.

The Law

Now comes distinguished legal light who says
that the simple statement II leave all have to my
wife" is not good will. There could easily be cir
cumstances. he says. under which such will could
be shot full of holes by contesting parties.
And that, dear reader. is just why the average
citizen is growing more and more suspicious about
the due process Of law.
For in place in the world except in court OF
law could that statement be misunderstood. Isn't
it about time that courts and lawyers began to
concern themselves little more with the pain
rights and wrongs OF case instead OF the legal
teChnic altes?

The Dukes

(SaratOga SUM
There are two wealthy and distinguished brothers
In North Carolina named Duke One is James 3.
Duke of tobacco fame and the other is Benjamin ~
Duke not quite as wealthy his brother, but with
plenty of money of his
James B. Duke has been giving literally of his
means to universities and hospitals while Benjamin
n. Duke has been giving almost as literally to the
secondary colleges Of his native state. He seems to
think young men and women must have help before
they reach the standard colleges and universities
Both are doing a fine thing in making it easier
for young men and women to obtain education
North Carolina is fortunate in having two sons of
wealth and the disposition to use their wealth
wisely
