New Bus Line
: Is Opposed
Railroads Object to Service
From South to At

Route Via Pleasantviue

Objections were raised against
the operation of a line of autobus-
ses from Wilmington to Atlantic
City, at hearing in Camden be-
fore Public Utility Commissioners
Gnichtel and Brown.
The Delaware and New Jersey
Transportation Company asked
permission to operate a fleet of
busses from Wilmington to New

vile, Mays Landing, Pleasantville
and Atlantic City, in New Jersey.
Counsel for the West Jersey and
Seashore, the Bridgeton Railway
Company and the Pennsville and
Salem Railway objected to the
new line, contending the route
parallels the tracks and routes of
the objecting companies.
1t was brought out that the line
was originally started and operat-
ed by the Healey Brothers. Com
pany. Recently the company was
reorganized.
Testimony was offered to show
that there is a need for the SER

Mosquito War
Proves Profitable
Expense of $225,000 Brings
Land Increase of
$43,00O,O00
How Battle Is Fought

Where mosquito control work is
effective in New Jersey the taxa
bles have doubled in the last ten
years, declared DR.. Thomas J.
Hendlee, entomologist of the New
Jersey agricultural experiment
stations, who spoke on the sub
stantial accomplishments in mos
quito control, in an address at the
thirteenth annual meeting of the
New Jersey Mosquito EXtermina-
tion Association, at the Hotel
Traymore, Atlantic City.
DR.. Hendlee, who has made an
exhaustive study covering the last
quarter of a century, stated that
in the areas along the coast
where, owing to anti-mosquito
work, the salt marsh mosquitoes
are under control the increase in
tax valuations has been twice as
great. Where the mosquitoes are
scarce the increase was 81 per
cent, while in the areas where
mosquitoes are still prevalent the
valuations have shown a decrease
of per cent
From Airplanes.
The speaker pointed out that 1t
had been discovered that Paris
green mixed with Tripoli earth
applied as dust from airplanes to
water surfaces partly filled with
vegetation, has given excellent
control OF the malaria mosquito
larvae. He said. however, that
this dust floats on the surface wa
ter and only destroys top feeders.
Common mosquitoes are not top
surface feeders.
A Repellant.
Discovery OF mosquito repel-
liant was announced by DR.. Will
lam Rudolphs, instructor of ento-
mology at Rutgers University,
The discovery was the result of a
four-year study.
''The best proteg ion can be Sc
cured by mixing ordinary insect
powder extract with vaseline, cold
cream or face powder" he said.
For making a repellant about
fourteen parts of oil or extract
was mixed with "a to 96 parts of
vaseline or cold cream. In case
powder is wanted the substance
can be mixed with wheat flour or
talcum powder
DR.. Rudolphs explained that in
mixing the ingredients he used as
much oil as the powder would alb
sorb without becoming pasty. The
mixture, he announced, afforded
protection for from two to three
hours. He also said that the tests
were carried on when mosquitoes
were alighting upon the expert
menter at the rate of from five to
twenty minute.
For an annual expenditure of
$225,000 for mosquito eXtermina-
tion work, the State of New Jer-
sey has received SAB, 100000 in in
creased taxable values, it was de-
clared.
The appropriation for the years

A healthful policy is apparent in all the
growing cities of the South, according to the
Atlanta newspapers and others who are now
commenting on the situation Business and
civic bodies backed by the press, are warm

standards of value, which, it is pointed out in

communities.

neighbors two valuable lessons, one the power
of publicity in placing before the country the
genuine advantages of climate, of lands and
of business opportunities which the state pos

The other lesson is that liquidation must

injury of the region where it occurs.
