Mosquitoes! Present Crop Greatest -Insects Make
 Season Long
 Holiday.

The present freakish summer has brought with 1t not only per- iods of seemingly endless rain and overpowering heat but also the greatest invasion of annoying in- sects that Waterbury has had in many years. Experts blame the torrential rains of the week before last, followed by the excessive heat of the subsequent period, for the unusually large numbers of mosquitoes, flies, gnats, moths and other insects that are taking the joy out of life for local household CTS.
 Similar invasions on the part of insects are reported in Hartford, New Haven and other cities. In several sections of the state, the unusual weather has created an- other danger by causing poison ivy to grow rapidly and spread over large areas. Numerous poison ivy cases have been reported.
 Mosquitoes have seldom, if ever, been as plentiful as. this year. Not only are they active at night, but they have also been far more active in daylight than in previous years. Flies and moths have also been exceedingly nu- merous, but are not as annoying as the mosquitoes.
 Appearing in larger numbers this summer than ever before are tiny gnats. Small enough to slip through almost the finest window and door screens, they can cause a painful sting.
 Farmers and gardeners in the Waterbury district report that plant and vegetable bugs seem especially numerous. Corn and other crops have been hard hit in several areas.
 Except in the business section of the city, nighttime these days brings with 1t clouds of annoying and troublesome insects, seeking to food themselves on Waterbur- fans. In many homes, especially in the outskirts, families are us- ing no light or very scanty light at night in an effort to keep the insects outside their homes.

minum solution. This works the miracle of permitting you to sec through, while the children can't see back through.
 To tell the truth, your vision is not a clear one. The screen is too fine. And the children are always at least 20 feet away. A little fence keeps them from getting closer to the windows. Even those who know them can hardly tell them apart through the screen.
 You watch, fascinated, for about a minute. Then a policeman makes you move on, and out The sight of the children is much less satis- factory than 1t was three years ago, when nurses brought them on the porch, and you had good long look. But as they say up here,

 The Catholic Transcript recently gave the following biographical sketch of Bishop lief:
 Ordinary of the See of Concordia for more than IT years, Bishop lief observed the thirtieth anniversary of his ordination only a month ago.
 Born in East Port Chester, Conn.,, March 2, 1881, Bishop lief attended Niagara university and later the col- lege and seminary of St. Bonaven- ture's. Alleghany, N. r., where he was ordained to the priesthood, June 13, 1908.

 Callander, Ont, Aug. G. Three years ago this month we visited the famous Dionne Quintuplets and their equally famous mentor, Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe.
 We came back rather half heartedly, for our interest in the Quintuplets had waned. But one look-and now l am all worked up again.
 Everything has changed greatly since our last visit. The town of Callander B full of new buildings, and nearly every house has tour ist sign. There's even new res- taurant and inn right next door to Dr. Dafoe's house.
 "Quintuplet Village" two miles away, has changed too. Three years ago the road was a rutted dirt lane. The new Dafoe log hos pital had just been finished. There was one curio store by the roadside.
 Today paved highway leads out. The place itself looks like a county fair. There are acres and acres for parking. Motorcycle cops direct traffic.
 The hospital grounds have been enlarged, and there is an enclosed playground for the children. There are four stores, instead of one. Two of them belong to Oliva Dionne.
 On three sides of Oliya's biggest store are immense signboards, stick Ing high above the roof. On them are painted the Quintuplets' pic- lures. Tn big letters 1t says "The Only Souvenir and Refreshment booth operated by the Father of the Quintuplets Oliva Dionne. {" The same thing is in French on the other side.
 The store is large, selling every- thing you can think of, and there must be dozen clerks. Oliva him self stays in curtained booth at the rear. Across the top sign says Autographs" Oliva was there when went in.

 Q. Do Jews use musical instru- ments in the synagogue?
 A. In the majority of syra- gogues there are no musical in- struments. Wherever the organ exists 1t is Q comparatively recent institution. The reason for the absence of instrumental music lies in the prohibition to play in- struments on Sabbaths and Holy Days Gas such playing is consid- cred work) and in the desire to preserve apparent mourning for the destruction of the temple.
