 Where To Look.
 Naval and coast guard officials. pohderlng over plans for a vide- spread search, are faced with an un- usual problem in rescue work be- cause there was no authentic infor- nation as to where the French aca was last seen.

To cover a, stretch across the Atlantic 200 miles wide would require 40 ships, and these would work only in daylight hours because the Nungesser plane would be virtupallv impossible to To- cate in the darkness.
 Officials pointed out today that the plane might have descended close 10 American shores, and even on the American continent at some isolated point. Again, it may be. nearer the European coast or even in the middle Of the Atlantic ocean. Any search. officials said. would be a random quest, its success depend- ing almost entirely on chance.

REED BEGINS ON
Ware INQUIRY

Pending the opening Of a new
inquiry into the Pennsylvania sena-
torial race, the Reed committee to-
day planned to take immediate steps
to impound all ballots cast in the
election there last November.
The seizure of the ballots win
mark the first step taken in the
contest brought by William B. VII.

to obtain the senatorial seat to
which William s. Ware, Philadelphia
Republican, was ostensibly elected.

basis Of Wilson's charges that
Wares victory was due solely to
fraud and corruption.
The Reed committee win meet at

program. Members were said to
favor postponement until after
Congress adjourns March 4. They
fear that Congress may be forced
into extra session. thus bringing
the Wilson-Vare issue to a direct
head without a report from the
Reed committee.
Under orders from the Senate,
however, the impounding Of the
ballots must be undertaken at once.
The Senate incidentally instructed
the committee to seize the ballots in

Quoted as to shock the sensibilities
Of decent folk the country over.
Spasmodic attempts TO enforce the
Jersey blue laws are subject Of
ridicule. In justice let it be said
that for years New Jersey has been
pointing the way to that happy
time when the song OF the mosquito
shall be no more heard in the land.
II is true that New Jersey, with its
broad marshes where the mosqui-
toes grew in vast multitudes had
especial incentive TO undertake war
against them, but that does not al
ter the fact that New Jersey has
set a good example to sister states.
The, State has made extensive
study of the art OF war as waged
against members of the Culicidae
tribe, and the study still goes on.
It is just now directed in part to
the possibility of finding new ally
i'll the struggle for human freedom
from mosquito assaults, We read
that il is hoped to have the assist
ance of small Southern fish that
feeds on the larvae of the mosquito.
If the New Jersey winter does not
kill this immigrant from the South,
it may be expected to exterminatc
great numbers Of the infant mos
quitoes The scientists in the lab
oratory are at work on the problem.
One of their recent discoveries is
that a certain acid will spread fuel
oil over ono and onc-half times the
surface it would otherwise cover,
and will cause the film TO remain
in place longer. Invention is called
into the struggle. Witness the
twelve-ton ditching machine that
can travel over marsh mud so soft
that a man who attempted to walk
on il would be engulfed.
Efforts to exterminatc mosquitoes
are now few and far between, but
there are destined to be more of
them. In Massachusetts,, the sub

In the midst of the high cost Of
