CONTROL OF MOSQUITOES.

Although to most people mosquito is just a humming insect which goes around puncturing skins there are many different kinds of them, says the United States Department of Agriculture There are mosquitoes which breed in old tin containing water and in rain barrels, mosquitoes which breed in swamps and ponds mosquitoes which found in clear cool water and mosquitoes which most at home in the stagnant water of sewers
 Workers this knowledge of the different mos quitoes in their campaigns to eradicate the pest. For type of mosquito they concentrate on the rain barrels, tin cans and other receptacles near homes. Often water-liy ponds stock ponds are breeding places of mosquitoes Here the placing of topwater minnows goldfish is effective, for all mosquitoes pass through a "wggle-ta wig gler' stage and the fish feed them. Frequently the mosquitoes breed in swamps and ditches. If it is too expensive to drain these areas, the method most widely used is that of spraying fuel oil on the surface of the water This destroys the wiggle- tails Oiling should be done every ten days during the summer to catch each crop of wiggle tails

German Psychology.
lBoston News Bureaul

Boston News Bureau)
 It has long been a truism that German psychology was distinctive, if not peculiar. That remarked as far back Tactus. And now Secretary of State Stmson the most recent commentator.
 Returning yesterday to London after his visit ito Berlin, he appeared to put his chief emphasis thereon when quizzed at a press conference. He noted the need for complete change in that lpsychology-or frame of mind state of con- lsciousness-as prelude to the Reichs recovery from its economic ills. change of front by the Gov ernment. change of heart by the people are recommended.
 Secretary Stimson went on further, as reported, to do some plain talking about the difficulty of altering thinking processes when given to excess of complaining and the difficulty of borrowing from others by a nation claiming always to be broke Such words reayed to Berlin, may not be palatable but should be very salutary. Especially so when followed by the observations that the Ger mans are beginning to see some bright spots, and that their condition is already bettered.
 The Germans have long been noted for some odd psychological slants. Before and during the war days there was the almost universal comment on their lack of mental reciprocity innate in- ability to anticipate and follow the mind-reactons of outsiders That led to some unfortunate and costly mistakes their part very puzzling to them selves.
 Much earlier in their national career they addicted to deep strain of manacholy self-com- miseration quite sentimental in type. It flected in their literature however much excused by collective misfortunes. Is it recurrence of that mood which has impressed Secretary Stimson?
 Their burden has been and still is heavy But perhaps the right psychology make it seem lighter. The slogan of Hitler and his Nazis is Wake up, Germany The outside world would amend it, in encouraging intent, to Buck up, Germany

Advice for Democrats.
(New York 1imes.)

Two voices on the Atlantic seaboard rose this week in a call to the Democratic Party to return to the principles to which it has vowed loyalty ever since Thomas Jefferson first put them in words. Broadcasting from Washington to the Southern States Friday night, Gov. Ritchie appealed to the descendants of those who gave the party it's early leaders and doctrines Tn article in the August number of The American Mercury, John Hemphill of Pennsylvania addressed himself with even greater vigor to the same subject MT Ritchie has times been elected in Maryland and is an asprant for the Presidenal nomination next year Mir. Hemphill, the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor against Clifford Pinchot in 1880, lost con- test close to constitute record vote for his party in that overwhelmingly Republican State.
 The Nation again needs the South, asserted Gov Rtchie, ESQ long conspicuous for it's fine traditions of political vitality and for the leadership it furnished" Urging a realistic attitude current problems, MT Ritchie said:
 If we have shut our eyes to the truth
 about Prohibition, about the onrushing busi-
 ness depression about the destruction of our
 export trade about buying wheat which
 dare not sell about the duty of industry
 to it's labor about the virtue of local gov
 ernment, at least let approach with wide
 eyes the realities which are involved in our
 entry upon the worlds stage
 MT. Hemphill is anxious that his party resume its traditional stand against centralization. The Democrats must go native" he writes. strong and sound Jeffersonan platform will assure success tendency of the party leaders to pussy foot lest courage imperil their chances in 1892 is "the only thing working for MT. Hoover and his reelection. MT Hemph sees Prohibition, the tax burden, industrial maladjustment and the tariff as the in escapaole issues of next year, To attempt to cap- talize the depression for party ends would be "ust as contemptible and sordid the practices of the Republicans who attempted to associate hard times with Democratic administration" Tt is a case says the Pennsylvania "of shoot give up the gun" What these two Eastern leaders are urging stems from the same thought and will un doubtedly be powerfully supported at the next Ma tional Convention.

 MT. Battle, in his statement, declares that the watchword of the extreme drys, National Prohibi- tion the Saloon is an utterly misleading catch phrase
 He declares further that the present system of Federal enforcement aside from being ineffective in commonwealths where Prohibition runs counter to public sentiment, is in radical conflict with the traditional Southern doctrine of States rights More and more, he says the belief is gaining ground that the Eighteenth Amendment is contrary to the spirit of the. United States Constitution and op- posed to the best interest," of the people.
 MT. Battles statement continues
 Particularly in the South believe that
 this realization is deepening The increasing
 chaos, confusion and crime which have
 suited from the attempt to enforce the Pro-
 hibition fiat have forced serious consdera-
 ton of the situation upon lis and have led
 many back to the faith of forefathers

 cured by Federal safeguard
 In great and diversified nation only
 few topics be governed by uniform rules
 of conduct without subjecting many, if not
 most of the communities to all the dis
 astrous effects of tyranny. The system
 which country has been built up and
 which has been responsible for this the
 oldest republic in the world, founded
 the recognition that all questions of habit,
 custom, manners domestic relations, crime,
 etc. essentially functions of the State
 Governments and that the function of the
 Federal Government is to protect the citi-
 in the enjoyment Of his constitutional
 guarantees and protect the States in their constitutional guarantees
 As a lawyer and Southerner, I believe
 we should return to this principle. To do I so we must repeal the Eighteenth Amend
