28 VARIETIES
OF MOSQUITOES
Delaware and Maryland Ex-
perts Study Plan to Eradi-
cate Pests in Bay District
FLY 40 MILES INLAND

Twenty-eight varieties of mo
squitoes, differing widely in their
habits, tastes and manner Of living.
have been found in the Chesapeake
Bay area by the Agriculture De
partment's bureau of entomology.
The 28 kinds, catalogued by DR.. F..
g. Bishopp, Of the bnureau, range
from the aristocratic and elusive
mansonia perturbans, which breeds
only IN the most select swamps, to
several domestic" varieties breed
ing in water barrels, sewage pools,
old tires and caves troughs. The
survey, undertaken as a preIimin-
ary step toward reducing the pest
in the area, particularly in the
southern Maryland shore region
was conducted by DR.. Bishopp and
his aides in Maryland and Virginia
and by entomoIogists of the agri-
cultural experiment station of the
University of Delaware Most
abundant, DR.. Bishopp found, were
four or five varieties of salt marsh
mosquitoes able to fly 40 miles in
land and found as far from the bay
shore as College Park. Md. Why
mosquitoes are more numerous
some years than others was ex-
planned by the survey. The eggs,
DR.. Bishopp said, are laid on moist
soil but do not hatch until they are
covered with water They wait for
rains or high tide and if the year
is exceptionally dry, few may
hatch. But the eggs remain. some
times as long as three or four
years, until wet summer comes
and then hordes of them pour over
the land. The mansonia perturbans
searches carefully for a swamp
bordered with cat-tai1s and lays its
eggs near the underground roots of
the plants Both the newly-hatch-
ed larvae and the pupae attach
themselves to the roots and obtain
enough oxygen to live, safe from
ordinary preventive measures, such
as oil films over water or insect
eating fish Some of the varieties
prefer river banks for breeding,
others prefer woodland pools, while
others are not so particular about
place. DR.. Bishopp said one
variety of yellow fever mosquito
and several varieties of malaria
carrying mosquitoes were found in
the Chesapeake Bay area. One of
the latter class was a newcomer.
never having been found north of
Georgia before. A few of the va
vieties do not bite human beings,
preferring animals, DR.. Bishopp
said, while in all cases the biting is
done by the females. The males
are harmless, peace-loving Gre
atures, asking only to be let alone.
The survey was carried on by
means Of electric traps in which a
light attracts the mosquitoes and
suction draws them into a jar.

COURT RULES
ON AN OLD WILL
Last VIII and Testament Over
los Years Old Involves
Considerable Litigation
S7,5OO,o00 BEQUEATHED

Cleveland. 0hio.-The state Su-
preme court has been asked to de-
eide whether a man who died 105
years ago can donate millions of dol
lars worth of downtown property to
church and to- schools.
The strange case, rose in connec-
ton with the 1000 word will of Dan
iel Miles, member of a wealthy pfo.
neer family, which was FLED when
Miles died in 1927 of coughing
sickness"
Bearing the approval of Martin
Van Buren. later to become Presi-
dent of the United States, the will
divided Miles cash among various
relatives. More than forty acres of
land, which since has become some
of the most valuable land in the
city. was given to three trustees.
For 100 years the trustees were to,
use the income TO educate male
members of the Miles family.
Income Divided.
AT the end Of 100 years, the in
come from the estate was to be di-
vided equally between Newburg
township schools and a Christian
church in the township. The will
stipulated that the church must
teach "the doctrine of future re-
wards and punishments" and must
have the greatest number of male
parishioners contributing So or more
yearly.
The will describes the manner in
which trustees were to be replaced
as the years passed and called upon
the state legislature to assume con-
troll of the land if the trustees
should fail to fulfill their duties.
For II years following Miles
death, trustees did as they had been
commanded. Then in 1871, after a
court fight. brothers and sisters of
Miles were given title to the estate.
Later, the heirs took advantage of a
rising real estate market in what
then was frontier town and sold
the land. Today none of the Miles
family owns any of the original es-
tate.
Fabulous Income.
But the will still is on file and
had the terms been carried out the
schools and the church would have
begun receiving a fabulous income
five years ago. But Miles last wish
has been frustrated.
Ii is reported that present own
ers of the land have taken out more
than $7,500.000 insurance to protect
their titles. The insurance COM
panies have guaranteed the owners
that their titles are good.
About two and one-half years ago
three trustees were appointed to
carry out terms of the will upon in
sistence of persons claiming to be
heirs. Their first step was TO at
tempt to force owners of section
of property to move out. Two courts
have refused the trustees request
and now the Ohio Supreme court
has been asked to uphold or deny
the original will.

II all the soap normally used in
the country in a year were equally

child would be allotted p pounds.
In Colonial times, nearly every
back yard was soap factory, >
says bulletin from the National
Geographic society. "When the
hardy Colonial housewives accumu-
lated sufficient fat for batch Of
soap, they placed it in a kettle over
fire and added lye which they
made from wood ashes. The result
was a coarse. soft soap.
although soap kettles still are
in use in remote regions Of this
country, soap making has graduated
from the back yards of America
TO huge factories employing thou
sands of men and women and main,
tanning hundreds of railway cars in
which to haul supplies. The SCOT.
severed kettles Of Colonial days
have given way to huge watts. some
of which hold ten carloads Of soap.
Basic Ingredients.
Despite the growth of the indus
try, alkali and fats or oils still are
the basic ingredients of soap. Man,
ufacturers find sufficient supply Of
alkalies within the borders Of the
United States. but the demands and
whims of soap users for soap con
tanning particular oils, perfumes
and other ingredients, has made
soap one Of the most international
commodities in the American home.

table musk which is made from the

as well as animal musk which is

found in Tibet and in the Atlas

India. Australia. and the West

France gives up lavender oil.
"Oil of bay is produced from the
