received 5000 eggs the other day
in two tiny pillboxes.
They are the kind OF eggs that
develop into fine, healthy mosquitoes
and came to Washington by alrmail
from Florida. 1t should probably
be said right here that Florida S
loss is not Washington's gain-in

The eggs were needed by Hashime
Murayama, staff artist of the So

ing. They were obtained through
the cooperation of DR.. F.. c. Bishop
of the Bureau of Entomology and
Plant Quarantine Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
and came from the bureaus lab

What is even more reassuring, the
eggs were laid by Culex quinque-

frequently worse than its bite, for

ALASKA CENSUS COUNT TO START
 EARLY IN 1889
Secretary Roper Outlines General Plan for Enum-
 erating Alaskans

NCO1 1Ul1lueu rom PagP C,De) possessions of the United States
 With the possible exception of the
 First Census taken in 1790 the Sixteenth Decennial Census will be the most important ever taken since K t will reveal the changes and shifts in the nations social and economic life which have occurred in the ten eventful years since the Census of 1 1930.
 "The census will cover popula i tion, occupations, unemployment, agriculture, irrigation, d r a in e, manufactures, mines and quarries, and business. Certain additional vital-statistics activities which are dependent for their value upon emu merated population statistics are 1 planned in order to present new and more comprehensive data for use in improving national health.
 October l, 1889, has been tenta- lively set as the official date for taking the Alaskan part of the Six teenth Decennial Census although certain sections of the Territory will be covered in the summer of that year, where local conditions warrant such action. The October date was selected because climatic conditions are most favorable for census taking at that time, as the tundras or swampS, which are im- passable in summer, are frozen over but the rigorous Arctic winter has not yet set in. Also, the transient population is at a minimum since cannery workers and tourists who flock to Alaska in summer have re- turned to the States and AlaskanS l who have gone out" during the va cation period have come back 10 their homes.
 Governor John w Troy of AL aska has agreed to assume responsi- ! bility for the completion of the canvass. A resident of Alaska will be appointed to supervise the actual taking of the census. Between 130 and 150 enumerators will be en- ployed. Many of these enumerators will be members of the various Fed eral services operating in Alaska, ! such as the Coast Guard, the Bu- , reau of Fisheries, and the Office - of Indian Affairs. Airplanes, water craft, and dog teams will be used by the enumerators to cover their routes.
 Present plans call for an emu meration of the population and the agricultural activities of Alaska, t with the possible addition of other 1 subjects. The population schedule will be somewhat shorter than that used in the States. The agriculture schedule, likewise, will be compara- lively simple, but a few of the ques- tions-for example, those applying to fur farms and reindeer herds may be amplified. as compared with the corresponding ones on the schedule in use in the States The census will report the activities of the Matanuska Colony at Palmer, Alaska, which was established in 1885. Interested individuals and agencies will be consulted in the preparation of the Alaska as well as other census schedules"

THE FATHERS DAY COAT IS FATHER

For a great many years we have been trying to get all worked up about Fathers Day As the young sters grew older delved into it little deeper hop ing we might be able to figure out an angle where this so-called Fathers Day would be for father to do as he alarmed well pleased instead of sitting around like a sacred calf accepting the loud neckes and good wishes of the family. We've even tried to iron the thing out along the lines suggested by Mrs John Bruce Dodd of Spokane Wash. who gets credit for the original Fathers Day idea, "an occasion for quiet tribute in churches and in homesa day of sacred background But all to avail.
 We suggested urged the family to go off to church and pay their quiet tribute" and they agreed to do it. only they insisted that father go along sit right up front where the preacher could tell him what great guy he is this particular casion. So tried to compromise and suggested the family members pay their quiet tribute at home and we'd go fishing while they did it-in fact offered to stay fishing until just in time to get back to work Monday morning But no go No, they wanted father to be in this tribute business. In other words there would be Fathers day unless the old boy was around. which is exactly the reason that we can't get enthused about Fathers Day
 If somebody in this broad and enlightened land will work out plan for Fathers Day where father just back out of the picture for day off Ilshing work in his garden. go to church if he wants to, or just hit, or whatever else he wants to do, might be brought around to subscribing to the idea The thing has possibilities perhaps. from that approach But to have second day in the year set aside to get loud lec;aes, in addition to Christmas, makes no point all with But still a little botherc1 for this occasion called Fathers Day rolls around again on Sunday, and we've made no progress at all toward getting away fishing trip time Sat- urday for the weekend.
