DIRECTIONS: !:

Save all that time you used to spend rub. ping bar soap on clothes. Put some Rinso in saucepan. Pour boiling water over it to set all its good cleansing power free. Quickly, completely the tiny granules dissolve into clear solution. Pour this into the wash water. Use enough to get creamy, lasting studs. Then drop in the clothes. Soak boil-or use a washing machine as you prefer. Rinso works per. fectly any way you like best to wash. Only Very soiled places, like cuff edges andromperknees, yneedjustlightrub- ping between your hands after sprinkllng them with dry Rinso. Get Rinso today in the big new package or the regular size.

Mosquito Studied

Malarial mosquitoes have pref
erential diet, according to the find
ings just reported from the Johns
Hopkins school of hygiene. Mos
quitoes studied in their native
haunts in Louisiana were found to
prefer live stock to men as food. 1t
was estimated that during a day 76
fed on a horse, SO on a COW, 10 on a
dog, ten on pig and A on human
beings. When there are fewer mos
quitoes man seems to be the favor
lite diet. Later experiments show
that horses and cowsfn the environ
ment do not afford man absolute
protection from the bites of the ma
larial mosquito, but that it is well
to have a supply Of live stock for
protection. Slightly more than one
out of every 1000 mosquitoes test
ed were found to carry the infec-
tious stage Of the malarial parasite.

American Woman Giuen
High Honor by France

The president of the French re-
public has conferred on Nine. Clair
Eliasco, the wife of a well-known
banker in Constantinople, the cross
OF the Chevalier of the Legion Of
Honor. This distinction is the re-.
ward for notable nursing services
performed by Nine. Eliasco during
the war in France. NJ. Jesse-C urely,
the high commissioner of internal
publicity, personally paid his hon.
age to Nine. Eliasco in order to.
confer upon her the insignias of the
decoration. The ceremony took place
in Constantinople.
Nine. Eliasco is an American
woman, and her first husband was
Edward III. 0zmun, American con-
sui general and Judge of the Amer
lean court in Turkey before the
war, says the New York Times.
Some years after her husbands
death, she married Nicolas Eliasco,
a prominent banker of Constanti-
nople and the Near East. Nine.

Another Theory as to
the Location of Eden

No one seems to know exactly
where the Garden Of Eden was To-
Gated. Many sites are mentioned.
One of the most plausible theories
is that it was on the plain between
the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in
what is now Mesopotamia. Prof.
A. t. Clay professor of Semitics
and Assyriology at Yale, thinks this
plain was once part of the bed of
a great sea. Arabs, he believes, first
settled there about 5000 B. c.
"Even them" he said, 'the set
tiers had to build dikes to keep out
the water" He points out the drop
in the land is so little and the
rivers make SO many tortuous wind
ings to the sea that certain places
can be reached quicker by walking
than by boat. Professor Clay has
examined the locality at first hand.
In one trip two autos containing his
party dropped into gully and an
Arab guide was killed.

which were worked many years ago
are being made to yield a second
harvest Of the precious metal. Most
of it is found, not in the present
courses, but in the dry abandoned
channels.
The panner throws out the muck
from the old water course until he
reaches what at one time was bed
rock. This is carefully washed and
brushed and placed in the pan with
the material just everything it.
From the brook, the utensil is
filed with water and the mixture
agitated with a stick, some of the

sinks to the bottom because of its
weight. Discovery of paying "dust"

THE STATES FERRIES LOSING MONEY

The state of Connecticut, which is in the ferry business, operating two lines which cross the Connecti- cut river. is giving the usual eX- ample of governmental ownership - it is losing money upon its en- terprise
 The ferries are a public neCcs- sty at the point where they are operated, however, and private own ership perhaps could show profit by charging higher rates. But high rates in all probability would result in public discontent and criticism.

The opinion of Colonel C, c. Hall |. s. army observer on board the ill-fatcd Shenandoah, that the pres once of meteorological stations within reasonable distance of southeastern Ohio would have pre- vented the dirigible from flying into the storm, seems entirely tenable.
 We have a weather bureau that issues daily forecasts, which arc of immense value to millions of citi- 2cns.

PLAYING TRICKS AT WETHERSFIELD

Again several prisoners escaped from Wethersfeld prison, leaving numerous officials wondering how they got the steel drills they used to drill through solid steel ceilings three -sixteenths of an inch thick or how they got the cloth for i'm provised ropes by which they es- capped from the roof to the ground and probably the officials are won dering over other details of the re- markable occurrence.
 Mcdonnell, the lifer, one of those who escaped, had boasted when he entered prison that he would go without leave. Land, the other man who fled, had succeeded in doing the same trick on previous occasion, when he ''in some way" secured a hack saw and used it to make fools of the guards.
 All of which points to the proba bility that Wethersiield is not so tight a little place as 1t has been cracked up to be. If this thing keeps up it will get a reputation something like that enjoyed" by the penitentiary in Atlanta.
 Or maybe the Wethersfeld guards were so busy watching Ger aid Chapman that they entirely overlooked the lesser lights among the guests.

ZONING ORDINANCE WEARS PASSAGE

Zoning in New Britain Is soon to go into effect, The Common Coun- ell will meet September 16 with the intention of finally passing the amended ordinance. There may be slip between the cup and the lip, but in all probability the finish of the protracted discussions will take place at that time and the law will 20 into effect, Should there be an other hitch 1t Is certain that final passage of the ordinance will not be long delayed after that date.
 The zoning maps are complete. and by and large n good job has been done. The ordinance is com plete, and II is comprehensive and is deemed satisfactory to the ma jority of citizens. Neither the zon- ing maps nor the ordinance have as yet been approved. this formality being left until the council meet ing two weeks hence; meantime changes to conform with recent dis cussions regarding individual uses of 'nonconforming" property are being ironed out and 1t is to be hoped that they will terminate satisfactorily to all concerned.
 The recent discussion incident to he zoning ordinance has not in- olyed the basic principles of the idea, although the general policy of zoning in this city has been modi- lied here and there; indeed, some small questions of policy are yet to tc determined and will be finally decided upon by the Common Coun- cll at the meeting September 16.
 Some compromises from the orig inal rigid plan have been made, as was the case with the recent con- ference with manufacturers, but on the whole the zoning ordinance ought to be found a workable in- novation that will rebound 10 the benefit of the city in the future. The general public will be glad the talk is soon over and the city can settle down and adapt it's growth 10 a plan that is designed to bene- it all citizens alike.
