MAY 31 NTE SEVEN SPECIES OF --MOSITOES HERE — Says June Rains Start Hordes Coming Out of Breeding Spots Near City ‘Seven types of mosquito have been identified here in the investigations carried on over three days by W. P. Komp, the Greenwood, Miss., expert Of the Public Health service. Following search for wiggletails in the left-over flood water on the Wachter tract near Fort Lincoln and the breeding spots up the river near the Milan Ward farm, Mr. Komp and A. L, Bavone, state sanitary engineer, visited the svales around Mandan, ‘Thursday, and made a closer study of the situation. These swales are the Source of hordes of the pests, their stagnant waters and weeds being ideal breeding places. ‘Today Mr. Komp visited the weath- er observatory and took down data covering several years, on winds, pre- cipitation and humidity. What he learned confirmed his theory that it is the June rains that start the hordes of mosquitoes. They provide the moisture and fill low places and de- pressions with water that multiplies breeding puddles. Mr. Komp will obtain some maps and aerial views showing the charac- ter of the terrain and also flood con- ditions, then he will leave on his re- turn to Greenwood, Saturday morn- He has laid the basis for a further study of the mosquito situa- tion if it be desired to take steps in the nature of permanent relief. For this summer relief can be of an alle- viating scope only, as it is too late in the season to head off the pests now. 1929 York, 8. C., May 1—(NEA)—There was a time when this town was called Yorkville. The ‘ville was dropped some 14 years ago. And now expon- ents of change are considering still cther names. They want to call it “Cupid's Corner,” “Gretna Green,” “Marryville,” or something of: the sort. Here's why: In this town of 5,000, there have been more than 5400 marriage licenses issued, and marriage ceremonies per- formed, in the last two years. And that, York is confident, is a record not only for South Carolina, but for every county south of the Mason- Dixon Tine. It doesn't mean, of course, that everybody in York has been married twice in two years. It means simply that York is to matrimony what Reno, Nev. is to divorcee. It's a famous “hitching-post.” ¢ Where It's Cheaper to Wed There are two perfectly adequate reasons why _about-to-be-married lovers flock to York. One of them has to do with its geographical loca- tion, and South Carolina marriage laws. In the hard-hearted dominion of North Carolina, just across the border, a ticense for wedded bliss costs'in the neighborhood of $5, while medical examinations for two and other bothersome formalities are like- ly to run the total up to a week's pay check. An auto ride and $2.50 is all that’s necessary in South Carolina. What more natural than that Tar Heels should slip across the border to tied up? ' The other reason—and the reason why so many, select York in prefer- ence to other border towns—is Pro- bate Judge G. P. Smith, of York county. Judge Smith is easily the champ the figures. He took office Jan. 1, 1927, and in the two years since he has issued 5400 licenses. He has per- .

Quaterri did not die at once. He was conscious when police arrived, and able to talk. But he would not say who shot him; and he denied knowledge of any reason—gang con- nection, black hand threats or per- sonal vengeance—for the shooting. The groceryman was 54 years old. He was married, the head of a family of three children, the oldest being 29. Yesterday police found the body of Dominick Costa, known as a thief and stool pigeon. He had been done to death in gang fashion—taken for a “ride,” beaten, shot and then dumped into a field on 83rd street. A few hours earlier Thomas McElligott was killed in a pistol duel in the basement barroom of a downtown grill. Mc- Elligott was often arrested in con- @ection with “rackets” and crimes of Wiolence. ‘The kidnaping, apparently for ran- some, of “Kid” Austin was another of the flares sent up by gangsters over the holiday. An anonymous tele- phone call to the detective bureau said: Don't worry about that Austin guy. He is just being detained until his friends fix up a purse of $20,000.” MacIntyre Dancers Revue Is Success A program characterized by some exceptionally fine singing and danc- ing numbers was that given last eve- ning at the city auditorium as the MacIntyre Dancers Revue. The en- tertainment was divided into four parts with excellent scenic and light- ing effects throughout. The opening number, “Children of the Moon,” in which 28 children par- ticipated was one of the outstanding acts. A delightful fantasy, it ae opportunity for tap, toe, and cl dancing, as well as group dances of the buitiestes. flower girls and fairies. y Barneck as the king, Marlyn Ruth Duemeland as the queen and Ruth Coghlan as the jester, were very good. “On the Links,” a novelty sketch, i The ‘raggedy rose’ dance depicted by Veronica Werstlein and Ronald MacIntyre was well done as was the tap dancing by Inez Landers and Mr. MacIntyre. For the classical dance group, Mary Slater gave interpretative Indian dances, and her sister ,Alice Slater, sang “The Indian Love Call.” Miss cidentally finds the temple. the affection of the priestess in order steal the gem, but is later killed he refuses to return it. “gong of India,” by a chorus Te 54 i i q oi FREEEE fently, sLpliee cere Ried oey A ft / : i i it il tly formed at least 90 per cent of those marriages himself, which gives him a yearly average of 2430 couples. Fed- eral statistics show York county run- ning about a thousand ahead of its nearest South Carolina rival. Matrimonial Tourists ‘The fame of York county and Judge Smith have spread farther than merely the two Carolinas. Tourists headed south or north often turn aside to be married by the urbane Judge. He is urbane, chivalrous, kind- ly and sincere, a gentleman of the old South, a former state senator. His ceremonies are marked by dig- nity and decorum. From all walks of life they pour in, the men blush- |= ing and stammering a bit, the wom: en nonchalant and carefully casual, to take their vows. But not all of them get licenses. Despite the laxity of South Garolina marriage laws, Judge Smith uses dis- cretion. He refuses licenses to minors, or to couples obviously ill-fitted for each other. And when Judge Smith is away, there is always his clerical secretary, Miss Bessie Wiley. She has wedded as many as 18 couples in one day, which is believed to be a record for &@ woman. LAZY MAN’S WATCH New York.—A wrist watch shortly to be introduced on the market winds itself. The watch works by means of a weighted segment pivoted in the center which, swinging with the move- ment of the arm, moves a gear con- nected with the main spring. When this spring is fully wound a friction spring disengages the winding action. FIREMEN LIKED THAT Bayonne, N.

It seems to me there are lots of other things in Bismarck that could be cleaned up and disposed of that would really be worth while doing, in as much as the city would be bene- fited and also the citizens. It is a true fact that our old trolley is not an ornament, but I can not see why there is so much to howl about, as it really is a source of service to a great many. I think it :vould be in- considerate of those who take the trolley away—inconsiderate because the capitol building is located so far away from the homes of those who must either walk the long distance several times a day or hire taxis. Per- haps the trolley is a joke. That's very well for folks who need not depend upon it; but how about those who do depend on it? I am not writing this because the trolley is necessary to me or mine. It is not—though I use \it many times. I think the joke is that a city as i H | Dixon line. large es Bismarck can not stand a single street car, or cannot manage more. When the thermometer shows that the weather is “cold”—or, in ,other words, when the mercury has dropped out of sight or is hovering around 25 or 30 degrees below—then is the time that folks are glad to ride in that old trolley. And when I think how obliging our skipper is in bad days, stopping at convenient spots along the way so that the passengers may get on or off conveniently, I think we should vote him a permanent job. If the citizens object to this old trolley let us get a new one. A can not see that the tracks on Fourth street are such a nuisance. Folks who buy property on Fourth street know the tracks are there, and if they object so strenuously I think it's from a selfish motive. I think that a matter of this kind should be decided wholly upon the basis of the good of the community. Selfish personal reasons should not be considered at all. As far as I can see or understand, the street car is doing more good than harm. “Traffic congestion!” That is a joke. One measly little street car causing confusion and traffic congestion! Of course, if the city wishes to listen to a few property owners and act on their complaints I suppose those who really need that street car wouldn't have much chance at being heard, and of course a vote would be one way of settling the matter. But a vote might be disastrous also to the “traveling public.” First, be- cause there are a lot of people in Bis- marck, a lot who never need the street car. Second, there are a lot of people living on Fourth street who want to take the car away, also a lot of merchants who wish it bad luck. So the only ones who would vote for the old trolley remaining are those who earn their daily ‘read at the capitol building, and perhaps a few others who wish to see fair play. I am thinking only of the capitol workers, in terribly cold weather especially, and at all times through- out the year. I trust the citizens of Bismarck will think the matter over. ‘Why take away the old street car and just open the way to “taxi busi- ness prosperity”? Everyone knows the taxi companies would harvest rich returns, but what about the convenience of our capitol workers? A PROPERTY OWNER ON FOURTH STREET. MINOT MAN DEAD Minot, N. D., May 31—(4)—E. L.
