[12—The next time you stop at a mosquito consider the piight of Phil | Granett. Phil works with 1,000 hungry | mosquitoes in the “last word in bug- houses.” a little building on the grounds of the New Jersey Agricul- tural Experiment Station, Rutgers University. He has endured about a quarter million mosquto bites in four years trying to find mosquto repelling lo- tions to make summer nights more comfortable for the rest of us humans He has to stick both arms, only one of which is treated with a re- pellent, into a test cage and count the number of bites infected every minute on each arm. He'll do that for a couple of min- utes, give the mosqutoes (and him- self) a rest, then go through the ordeal again half an hour later That practice is followed for hours to determine for how long a period of time the repellent is effective The job isn't so bad as it once was.

Lookout in No-Man’s Land If they don't have children cvery year they're unhappy.” Miss Hoffman said the harem itself was nothing more than a huge canopy stretched over the sand. The sheik's three wives, she said, made separate rooms for themselves by stacking blankets up to the roof. “His favorite wife was the you est, PFatima” Mrs. Brooks said. “Fatima was about 27.” The other wives, Eedija and Kaobub, were deseribed as “older.” They didn’'t seem to resent the sheik’s preference for Fatima, the sisters said, and were quite con- tent to while away the day chat- ting until sent for by their mutual husband. Wives retail at anywhere from $25 up on the desert, according to Mrs, Brooks. Virtue is considered the prime asset, with good looks running second.
