the history of the hotel walters
were assured a definite income. On
the old basis of $4,000 per month,
the hours of work were staggered
in such a manner that few men
ever received a check for $4,000.
In 1888 a two year contract was
put into effect. The monthly wage
was increased from $500 per
month to $4,000 per month for
regular walters. The banquet scale

Lets 300, 900 Mosquitoes Bite Him
To Find Perfect Insect Repellent
Young Research Worker
on University Staff
Real ''IrOn" Man

WHILE other people try to keeT
w away from mosquitoes during
the summer months, Philip Granett
young iron" man at Rutgers Uni
versity, goes to a great deal of
trouble to get them to bite him. He
has endured more than 100000 bites
to help make it possible for other
folks to escape insect annoyance.
Granett is one of a group of sci
entists at Ru.ge who, under a
grant from the National Carbon
Company, are studying insect reac-
tions to various chemicals. They
have been working on this one prob
lem for five years. AS a result, they
have already succeeded in making
repellent lotion that not only pre-
vents mosquitoes from biting but
keeps them at a distance.
Granett's job in this research has
been that of a human guinea pig
He has tried out on himself the
hundreds Of chemical combinations
produced by the laboratory staff to
learn which solution would work
best.
His method has been to take a
sample of the chemical to be tested,
stand in a mosquito bog, roll up
sleeves and trousers, and apply a
measured amount of the repellent
to one arm and one leg. The other
arm and leg have been left unpro-
tected. Then the number of bites
received on the untreated parts of
his body were counted.
Bites were counted until Granett
got one on the arm or. leg having
the repellent coating. AS soon as
that happened, he noted the time
that had elapsed since the test be-
gan, and the experiment was over.
His purpose, of course, was to find
chemical combination that would
extend the protection time as long
as possible.

Carless Auto Drivers
Boost Railway Costs

Although the carless motorist
bucks heavy odds every time he
tries to beat train to a crossing
the property loss isn't so onesided
as it might seem, according to the
Southern Pacific Company.
Huge sums have been expended
by Southern Pacific to protect it's
grade crossings with wig-wags,
flagmen, gates, lights, bells and
warning signs, but in spite of all
this the company was put to $37,-
297 expense last year for repairs
70 locomotives, other equipment
and rights-of-way damaged in
crossing collisions with autos and
trucks, F. L. McCaffery. general
auditor, reported today The fl
cures do not include thousands of
dollars for investigations and
losses due to disruption of
schedules, he said.
McCaffery pointed out that fail
ure to heed warnings not only
leads motorists to drive onto
tracks in front of locomotives but
also causes them to run into the
sides of trains in a great many
crossing accidents.

New Defense
Battalions

Since the event Of a new method
Of making war, the United States
Marine Corps has conceived an
entirely new type of combat unit,
these units, designated as Force or
Base Defense Battalions. consist
ing of five and three inch artill-
cry. fifty and thirty calibre ma
chine guns and each Defense Bat
talon is equipped with sets or
high powered searchlight batteries
foI night aerial defense. A support
ing infantry detachment serves as
a regular part of each battalion.
With training headquarters on
each coast; Quantico, Va. and San
Diego, California, the Defense Bat
talions are given continuous in
tensive training in all phases or
modern warfare. Highly mechan-
lied, and with personnel and equip
ment kept in a state OF instant
readiness, these new units can
move rapidly by land or may be
embark on Naval vessels of the
L. S. Fleet at a moments notice;
prepared to guarantee the security
of a Naval Base or any United
States possession.
According to information receiV-
cd from Captain ]. p. Schwerid,
Recruiting Officer. many of the
5000 new men. needed to fill the
ranks of the increased Corps, will
see service with the new organi-
zations after completion of their
initial Marine Corps training.
The Coolidge examiner., 1940-07-18

Day after day Granett has gone
through this routine, trying out one
chemical after another. During the
summer he has stood in swamps un-
der a boiling sun. In winter has
been bitten by mosquitoes especi-
ally raised in the Rutgers labora-
tories at New Brunswick, N. ].
Every one of the thirty-fve kinds
of mosquitoes found in New Jersey
has had chance to feed on him,
Granett says. Along with them are
many others of the $50 varieties
that exist in different parts of the
United States.
Granett's endurance has been e.
nally rewarded. The laboratory staff
reports that it has developed a To-
ton that withstands all tests better
than any other. Not only does this
substance offer protection against
mosquitoes, but it keeps away gnats
sand feas, black flies, deer flies
chiggers and similar pests. One ap-
plication may last as long as thre,
hours.

No amount of honeyed words
no number of fireside chats or
campaign speeches can divert the
public from its knowledge of New
Deal failures, its fears as to where
New Deal policies may lead; its
determination that Constitutional
Government in the Unittd States be
preserved from it's enemies within
as well as without.
Wendell L. Willkie has declared
for a united America.
The New Deal has sought and
has partially succeeded in bring
ing about class and racial strife
and hatreds.
1t has aped totalitarian precepts
and principles, the while declaring
itself the friend of democratic pro,
cesses which it has openly flaunt'
ed.
American voters have never been
slow to distinguish the false from
the true.
They will not now allow them
selves to be beguiled or lee
funther toward an Utopian mirage
which exists only in the vision o.
visionaries.
The American people wish tt
face realities. They are capable o.
co doing.
They have been quick to grasI
the realism of Wendell L. Willkit
and Senator L. McNary.

Promotional Scheme
Fakes

With the possibilities of war and
the activities of the Red Cross in
creasing there has been through
out the land an urge on the part
of promoters to run benefits for
the Red Cross. The Red Cross
this week justifiably refused to
sponsor any more of the numerous
benefits the proceeds of which
were to be given them after the
deduction of expenses etc, etc. A
very large number of these so
called benefits are simply promo
tional schemes intending to use
the name of the Red Cross and be
of benefit mostly to the promoters
10. all of these affairs are fakes
but so large a part of them turn
over so little to the auspices un
der whose name they run and upon
whose prestige they succeed thai
il is far better that the Red Cross
have no part in the matter and
collect its funds as it does under
ordinary every day conditions.

Our Way Of Life

Writing in Fortune short time
ago, Wendell Willkie said: "This
effort to seperate business from
the ordinary life of the people and
10 set it in a distant and inferior
category represents profoundly
false conception of our eco-
nomic system. There are about
100000 private enterprises in
the u. S., which employ about 34;-
600. 900 people, who in turn support
many millions of other people.
Business is a part of life and
way of life. BY it we earn our
bread, build oor homes, care for
our children, find expression for
ourselves. Every one of us lives
directly or indirectly by business
e.. 1t is business, in the broad
est sense of the word-including
industry and technology, and in
Guiding the modern farm, which is
business enterprise-that has
made the American people so
great"
For a long time, we, the people,
who live by business, have sat
supinely by while the public serv-
ants who manage our governmental
affairs denounced business, reviled
business, fought business, and at
tempted to destroy private busi-
ness at every opportunity. The re-
suit was the greatest and longest
business depression in our history.
And now. almost overnight, we
find it imperative that we embark
on an unprecedented program of
defense rearmament. Do we turn
to politicians in this emergency!
No! We turn to business, to in
dustry. to the great factories or
America. The principal members
of the preparedness board lately
appointed by the President are
business men. And that is as it
should be. Even as industry must
provide us with the tools of peace,
so must it provide us with the
weapons of defense.
+ 1t has taken the direct of crises
to reawaken us to the role that
rrivate industry plays in our lives.
Let us not forget it again.
