THE AnTl.mosoulro MOVEMENT

The meeting of the Florida Anti-Mosquito
Association to be held in st. Augustine on dates
of. May 5 and 6. should be attended by people
frem every section of the State, for at this con-
ference it is proposed to launch highly import
anl movement that viii be statewide in its scope.
A tentative program is announced that should
prove Of great interest to every one who has The
ineeres' of the state at heart.
The aim of this association is the ultimate and
copplete annihiliation Of the mosquito from this
great state Of ours. Long ago the mosquito was
recognized a most annoying nuisance, and in
recent years IL has been proven carrier of dis
ease germs. perhaps more so than any other insect
ofsthe air. II is also persistent pest that de-
pryes tired people of rest when 1t is most needed
ana at some seasons Of the year ID is annoying
folks all over the United States. especially in
places close to bodies Of fresh water
1t has been proven by actual demonstration
that the radiance Of the mosquito may be success
fully accomplished. They have been driven out
ofsmany places and the menace that existed be-
casse Of their presence entirely done away with
Proof that flies mosquitoes and other insect
pests can be destroyed is convincing in the con-
disions prevalent now in Havana and in the Pana-
ma Canal zone.

THE DRY ToRTucAs
Boston Sunday Herald. J

(boSton sunday Herald
Although we hear much 'of Florida these
days we hear little of her notable possession The
Dry Tortugas. The young might suppose these
islands to be an early conquest of Mr.. Volstead,
though as likely as not the law that bears his
name is not more strictly enforced there than on
Cape Cod, for the Dry Tortugas are within easy
sail of Cuba. They form a group of ten islets
appearing like paper dots the map of Monroe
county Once in forty years or SO they figure in
the news, and are then forgotten for at least an;
other generation.
Fort Jefferson was built upon one of the
group in early days, when it was thought to afford
some photection against enemies entering the
Gulf of Mexico, where lie the Dry Tortugas In
the civil war period Fort Jefferson was military
penal station, and the group of islands began
to attract public attention. Any particularly
troublesome civilian accused of disloyaty
apt to be suggested as a candidate for imprison-
ment on the Dry Tortugas. There grew up popu-
lar notion that Fort jefferson was peculiarly
dreadful place of imprisonment. No doubt this
notion arose partly from MISREPRESENTATION of the
name borne by the island group. As matter of
fact the horrors of torrid waterless desert con-
jured up by the name did not prevail at Fort JEFF
ferson. and the islands were and are dry" as can
be. not being flooded at high tide, as are some of
the Florida Keys. It is true that the western
keys have a much smaller rainfall than other parts
Of Florida. and the Dry Tortugas are a good many
miles west of Key West; but there is a sufficient
rainfall on the group to keep vegetation going
the year round and prisoners, civil or military.
did not lie and sweat with pafched tongues loling
out. Nor are the Dry Tortugas hotter than other
places in the same latitude, and indeed they are
proboby cooler than corresponding points on the
mainland, though they are far below the frost
line, and the heat is almost continuous the year
round. The average temperature is said to be
about the same for December and january as for
July and August.
DIR. Mudd of luckless name suffered an i'm
prisonment of years on the Dry Tortugas
after being convicted Of having set John Wilkes
Booths leg when the assassin was in flight from
Washington. It was popularity believed that
conspicuous public man of the civil war period
would be sentenced by military court to impris-
onment on the islands The horrors of the Dry
Tortugas were heightened in public imagination by
the story that the wide and deep fnoat about Fort
jefferson was thickly inhabited by maReating
crocodiles eager to nip of the legs of escaping
prisoners. It was not revealed upon what these
guardians fed when escaping prisoners were few.

The Cost of Water.

Water seems to be free for every
body, at least in cities, because the
cost of supplying it is included in gen
eral taxes; as a matter of fact it is one
Of the biggest industries in America
to supply fresh water to our cities. In
some places, like Key West. there is
not drop of fresh water. 1t has to
be sent down the railroad that crosses
the keys in great tank cars, and must
be used sparingly. Where a dense
population in the East Indies demands
intensive agriculture, rice Is grown on
mountain terraces. To keep the fields
saturated with water, men. women
and children spend their lives carry
ing water up in vessels on their backs
and pouring the precious fluid out on
the thirsty mountain side.
Now what do you know about that?
Answers to Yesterdays Questions.
l. A mountain cannot be precisely
defined, as in fiat countries lower hills
are called mountains: it can only be
said that it is an elevation which,
compared with a plateau, has a small
summit area.
.. An alp is an upland meadow.
3. La Paz, capital of Bolivia. is the
highest capital in the world, at some
10000 feet altitude.
4. The symptoms of mountain sick
ness are nausea, nosebleed, difficult
breathing, weak, fluttering heart and
great wearinesS under eXertion.
). The Ozarks and the Black Hills
are mountain ranges found in the
Middle West.
6. The Catskills and the Adiron-
dacks are two mountain ranges found
in New York State.

what is the difference. 1t is expressed
in the two places you name, earth
and heaven. Visions of these symbol
iZe the one as the scene OF the pur'
suit of happiness, the other as the
paradise of blessednesS actually pos
sessed.
Hence it is the genius of Chris
tianity to make people blessed both
in themselves and to their fellow

joice. And again 1 say, rejoice. But
Christian joy is at the poles from the
laughter of the fool or the hilarious
cackle of the money lover and the
flesh worshiper. 1t triumphs over per-
sonal distresses, glories in temporal
deprivations and shows cheerful
countenance when health and wealth
and friends are gone.
Open-eyed, thoughtful people are
seldom happy, as the superficial esti-
mate that condition. But the shafts
of meditation which they have driven
into their own minds afford them re-
freshing drafts of strength and con-
ISOLATION. If they do not dazzle you
with outbursts of eXuberance today,
neither do they doom you to drip
ping gloom as its reaction tomorrow.
They shine with steady, unfailing
radiance because their resources are
within them. r-<
I do not think that one could say
Jesus was a happy being. But what
of His blessedness? In that, and that
supremely, is what you call paradise
1t is safe therefore to assume that
the person you have IN mind in this
question is on the way to spiritual
perfection, despite his or her lack of
happiness.

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Rome Not Built in a Day

When we want to encourage some
one to renewed effort, OF overcome
the Encouragement of one who has
labored without apparent result, we
say, Rome was not built in Il day.
The reference is, of course, to tho
continued time, effort, perseverance
that are necessary for worthwhile &C
complishment. AT first sight, the
saying may appear as an aAlnonition
against the modern tendency to
hurry everything. However, it is not
out of modern circumstances or the
life of today that it has its origin.
for which. indeed. we must go back
about 400 years.
Rome was not built in a day" ap-
pears in Part /. Chapter ii. of John
Heywood's "Proverbs.' the first
collection of English colloquial say
ings. which was printed in 1916. This
indicates that it was current at that
time and in use some time earlier
Its form there was 'Iiome was no,

/. We find the saying also in classic

time later than Haywood in England,

inappropriate for such practical sports
purposes. But the idea of wearing
sports frock for dinner or for evening
dancing is still a little surprising.
True. some of the younger women,
like some Of the men, have craved the
privilege Of appearing for dinner and
informal dancing in sports attire.
They seem to think there is something
rather swagger about that sort OF
thing. And now by extending the
idea we have actual dinner and eve
ming frocks amusingly based on the
sports idea. You couldn't possibly
mistake them for daytime sports
clothes-but they are Enthusiastically
modelled on the sports ideal
Nine. Groult has made little eve
ming frocks consisting Of a short,
straight pleated skirt, with a sleeve
less jumper blouse on top. The neck
is a little low and sports kerchief
is knotted over one shoulder.

Wider Demand for Sports Clothes

Several we'll dressed women of

evening. clothes and the species Of

sports clothes. The more elaborate
creations which are known as after

Patou, Chanel and Regny have been
