vac control the situation.
Some ponds with clean edges pro-
duce very few because the fish have
access to the larvae that might start
to develop there; while isolated pools,
close to a pond, which contains no
mosquito enemies, may produce large
numbers of them. 1t is easy to learn
how to look for mosquito larvae, or
so-called wiggle-tails, and to discover
the sources of annoying mosquitoes.
Small wet places are often missed.
Those which do not dry up within a
week after a:rainfall often contain
very few or no mosquito enemies,
and consequently may be prolific
sources of mosquitoes. Those which
are found to produce larvae can often
be easily filled or drained and that
ends them forever.
It is not difficult to find and ex-
anime all breeding places within a
half mile or mile of any community.
From such survey how much is nee
essary to eliminate these sources can
be determined; or whether it is ad-
visable to control breeding by using
coal oil or other larvicide, every week
or ten days, to kill the mosquito lar
vac can be decided. Some communi-
ties keep breeding places treated
with oil until they have an oppor-
tunity to get drainage completed.

Small towns frequently install wa

soon many mosquito breeding places
are formed. Next, with water avail

WISDOM TOOTH AT
 PARSONS THEATER
New Fantastic Comedy Opens
 Run on Hartford Stage
(By Herald RevieNer)

Through the lips of his newest play child, "The Wisdom Tooth. " Marc Connolly tells the story of the regeneration of man with an in feriority complex and his final vic, tory over his diffidence. In order to achieve this victory 1t Is necessary for him to call on the spirit of him. self when he was a boy. just th, kind of boy met in everyday life. who puts chip on his shoul. der and dares any kid in the neigh. , borhood to knock 1t off.
 There are parts in "rhe Wisdom Tooth" where the services of a the atrical dentist would not be unwel. come. There are cavities which need filling.
 In the program "The Wisdom Tooth" is announced as a fantastic comedy, There Is quite a bit of comedy to it---the kind which the world male can appreciate because 1t hits home al this universe of yes men. It isn't slapstick com edy passed around in large quanti- ] ties for the hoi polloi. It is subtle and requires certain amount of pcnetrative power on the part of tho audience. Ii so happened that last night was Mystic Shrine" night at Parsons theater, Hartford, where 'The Wisdom Tooth" is showing this week. The majority of those pres ent were mature, having reached the point in life when they can. ap- | preciate the foiblcs and weaknesses of the human race. and they i laughed continually.
 Although Mir. Connolly is the author, the playcraft of Wincheli Smith is evident as the plot unrolls rather slowly, 10 be frank. To Mir Smiths lot fell the staging of the show. Mir. Connolly and Mir. Smith were present to watch their latest creation and note the reaction or the audience. This Is their trying 1 period. "The Wisdom Tooth" l. scheduled to open in New York city next week, although tho name oi the thcater has not been announced
 Tho two principal roles are filled hy Thomas Mitchell as "Bemis," tn, yes man, and Mary Phillips al Sally Field" the girl who love him in spite Of himself "Bemis' could be made a stronger characte' if, when he asserted his manhoo; as the show draws to a close, h. became more heroic. This is th, moment for which the audience ha been waiting, silently roofing fo him. He should make the mos of it.
 John Mltern of New Britain ha an important character to portra, as "Farraday," whose merciles criticism of "Bemis" and who's taunts make him very disagree able person. Mfr. Miltern Is, as 0 old, smooth, polished and the con
 summate actor.

whereas, in all other weaves, the
warp goes from one side to the
other, thus binding the wool or
filling in its position. Notice rag
carpet or any piece of cloth and
you will observe the small, highly
twisted warp, alternately passing
over and under the wool, or less
finely twisted filling in a way
which brings the warp into view
first on one side of the cloth and
then on the other
In the Navajo weave only the
filling is in sight, and only the
filling is subject to wear, Should
the filling be worn into two parts
at any particular place, the weave
is such that the two ends will be
held in place and can not unravel.
Here is the method by which
perfectly legitimate handmade
Navajo rugs can be manufactured
in large quantities at one-fourth
the present cost:
The high cost is not in the wear
ing; it is in the extremely labor
ious and tedious method of pre-
pairing the filling. Originally the,
warp was prepared but many years
ago that was discounted and fac
tory made cotton warp came into
use. Blankets containing hand
made wooden warp are now anti
cues that are diligently sought by
collectors
Two methods may be used to-
greatly reduce the cost of making
Navajo rugs as they are now con-
structed. One is to use stationary
hand looms like the ones used by
the old ladies to weave rag carpets.
The shuttles and the device for,
throwing them would be left off,
but the harness" for crossing the
warp would be retained. The act
ual weaving around the warp must
be done by hand but the crossing
OF the warp the regulation of it's
tension and the tanning down of
the woven wool would be done
automatically to create the nee
essarY tightness of weave. The
OUTPUT per operator would be
about doubled in the weaving
alone
The main short cut to the low
cost would be by the use of fac
tory prepared filling with just the
loose twist necessary, made by a
Utah factory from Navajo-manu-
featured dyes. This saving would
seem to amount to about another
so per cent of the cost of produce
ton
Blankets so produced would be
handmade by Navajos. There is.
and unsupplied, worldwide market
at high prices. 1t would be purely
and exclusively an Arizona produc-
ton, sans competition.
