With The ROtarianS

James r. Withrow, dean of the
chemical engineering department,
o. S. u, spoke at the Rotary club
day evening Mr. Withrow gave an
interesting address on "Modern De-
velopments of Chemical Engineer
ing" He pointed out these de-
velopments brought about by chem
ical engineering in the manufactur-
ing of such products as white sugar.
cellophane and rayon. He stated
that cellophane, which is the trans
parent wrapper placed around prod
ucts being sold, is product of
wood which comes from mixture of
spruce wood with modern chem
icals; also said that rayon is ma
terial which comes as a product of
chemical engineering. He spoke
of outstanding developments in use
of hydrogen gas. He stated that
of such products. Synthetic rubies
are another. The greatest develop
ment of modern chemical engineer
ing, says Mr.. Withrow, is the taking
of nitrogen from the air and trans
ferring it into concentrated fer
tilizer, one of the greatest aids to
man. Mr.. Withrow spoke of one
factory in Germany, he visited, that
manufactures $4,000 tons of such
fertilizer each year. He predicted
that our future supply of gasoline
will probably come from coal.
He closed his address by point
ing out that regardless of how far
chemical engineering or science
may develop, without God it will
all soon fall He said that the
Greek civilization, T:cnch rev.
olution, great World war and
Russian communistic government
are experiments of science acting
without the help of God, and all OF
which have either failed or will
fail, because of such lack of re-
ligious teaching.

INDIVIDUALS RESPONSIBLE
FOR CROP OF MOSQUITOES
Back Yard Rubbish Heaps Are
Potential Breeding Places

When you get irritated at the flying
pests that annoy you when you sit
on your porch, or that get into your
sleeping quarters and keep you awake
with their buzzing and singing, when
you slap, slap, slap without any re-
lief, don't blame the neighbors or the
people in the next camp-if you hap
pen to be camping-just look around
to see if you are not raising your own
crop of mosquitoes. If you are, you
will find it worth while to follow the
advice of DIR. R. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health. Here
it is:
"The best way to get rid of mos
quitoes, is to get rid of their breeding
places. Every empty tin can that has
accumulated an inch or so of water,
and that has been left on the rubbish
heap is a potential breeding place.
Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water,
but they are not at all particular as to
the size of their breeding places. Any
thing that holds water and that is left
in the back yard or on the rubbish
heap at the camp, answers the pur-
pose. Old auto tires, empty barrels,
buckets, jars and cans are in this
class.
"Some mosquitoes are long lived
but fortunately, the average life of
most of them is about two weeks, so
there is hope of relief if the breeding
places are gotten rid Of. Community
action is necessary for mass effort
for such measures as draining swamps
and oiling streams, or stocking ponds
and streams with the minnows that
eat the mesquite larvae. But when
it comes to the rubbish heap, each
family or group of campers has to
wage it's own warfare.
"The county health officers and the
representatives of the Bureau of
Sanitary Engineering when making
sanitary inspections of the recreation
and tourist camps throughout the
State, are often asked to locate the
source of the clouds of mosquitoes
that appear from time to time to the
great discomfort of the campers. Very
often their search leads to neglected
refuse heap Uttered with discarded
cans and other receptacles holding the
mosquito larvae.
Mosquitoes are able to fly about
half mile from their breeding places,
under their own power, but high winds
will carry them much farther. Trains,
boats and automobiles also furnish
free transportation for them. Ac-
cordingly, householders, campers and
wayside picnickers will be performing
public service and will add greatly
to the comfort of their neighbors, far
and near, by disposing of their dis
carded jars, tin cans and other water
holding receptacles in such way
that they do not serve as breeding
places for these winged pests"
