Ah, .yes, we thought, summer s here. Its ad- vance guard, the gentle mosquito, has announced its coming. This morning upon opening our mail we discovered a letter from the Gorgas Memorial Institute of Chi- cago regarding measures which may be taken in any community to pre- vent the propagation of this summer pest. The institute is named after the engineer who cleaned up Pana- ma by exterminating mosquitoes and thereby stamping out yellow. fever. The female of the species, like Kiplin's vampire, 18 more deadly than the male. The mosquito which bites is a lady mosquito, A She is the destroyer. If a mosquito bites you, you may rest assured that it is not a gentleman, She thirsts for human blood, so she injects her proboséis into the most convenlent person, says “prosit” and drinks until driven away, It is a peculiar thing that only one mosquito in a million ever gets a mile away from its birthplace, proving that mosquitos around every home were born in that neighbor- hood. Among the suggestions made for the prevention of mosquito breeding are the following: Get rid of water by drainage. If this cannot be done, spread the sur- face with ofl. Repair broken or bent roof gut- ters to prevent the forming of pools in which mosquitoes may breed. Clean out clogged downspouts for the same reason. Cart away tin cans, broken bottles, and other receptacles which may re- tain water so they cannot become brecding places for mosquitoes. In rural districts and suburbs which depend upon cesspools for waste disposal, cover the vent with a tightly fitting screen, not less than 18 meshes to the inch. or mosquitoes willbreed in this filth. Cover drain water barrel tightly with screen cover, mesh of which is 18 to the inch. This is the only way to keep mosquitoes from breeding therein. 1f you have bird haths in the yard, they should be cleaned weekly. They are excellent places for mosquitoes to lay eggs and for the eggs to hatch, It your favorite golt club has water hazards, have them sprayed with oil, or the mosquitoes will soon be so thick they will chase you off the greens. ain: “But you can Continuing his percgrinations around the fifth ward, the Observer discovered last night that the board of education holds title to a vast stretch of land in the rear of ‘the| Washington school which could easily be converted into a play- ground for that district which teems | with children. There are broad acres which call CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Bervice Writer Washington, June 13 — The presi- dential job often is referred to as a mankiller, The vice presidency gen- erally 1s consldered something of & sinecure. 1t seems to have occurred to no- body that, with Thomas R. Mar- shall's death, the country has as many living ex-presidents left as ex-vice presidents — that is to say, cne of each, respectively Chief Jus- tice Taft and President Coolidge. This gives rise to the guess, either that the vice presidency must be more wearing than was popularly supposed, or that some deadly qual- | ity other than the work involved lurks in both the chief magistracy and its understudy’s post. The fact is, though we have had what we called young presidents and vice presidents, they were young only for the high offices they held. After a term or two, most of them were pretty well on in this| life and not far from the getting| off place into the next. iEee By Ex-vice President Marshall was one of the most popular statesmen Washington ever has known. He never took himself too seriously. | Affable and easy of approach, his| circle of friends was enormous. | His humor — antiseptic but heal- ing — was delightful, His oft- quoted remark during the post.| war reconstruction perfod, with | everybody telling what the country | needed, “It needs a good B-cent | cigar,” was typical of him. Frivolous, as it fell on the ear, it was packed with meaning on analysis, a meaning the man in the street could understand. Marshall wasn't the type of poli- ticlan to wait until he. knew “how | the wind blew” before making up| his mind. He made it up in advance | and regardless of the wind, and re, | vealed it with a frankness whicK | horrified his party’s more cautious-| 1y inclined. “Why doesn't Marjoric | I (Copyright. 1925, Reproduetion Forbidden) the ext Dorothy | tion, nt of two parts to the mil-| | succeed as a musio teacher?” He never broke himself of this habit.

Besides being ‘equipped for play- ground purposes, efforts should be made to convert it into a community park where adults could gather on warm afternoons and evenings and enjoy the fresh alr which s so much appreciated after a day in the fac. tory. There 18 no reason why fath. ors and mothers should find it neces- sary to walk all the way to Walnut HIill park evenings or on Sundays in order to enjoy a respite from thejr daily toll, The city could change a large section of the land now owned by the school department into & splendid summer community center and could erect suitable and desir- able buildings for the purchase of refreshments as well as a bandstand for concerts. Whether the board of education would be willlng to transfer title or whether this step would be neces- sary I8 not known. But it is worth Investigating. A fifth ward park would be very desirable. The ex- pense of converting the land into & park would be comparatively light. STRIGE TROUBLES ARE CONTINUING Raiding of Stores Takes Place in ‘Nova Scotia PRS- Glace Bay, N. B, June 138 P While raiding of retail stores of the British Empire Steel corporation continued early today, a special train was waiting at Toronto to rush here with the Royal Canadian dra- goons to quell disorders attending the strike of 12,000 miners in Cape Breton colleries. The dragoons, encamped at Ni- agara-on-the-Lake, will be ordered out, the Dominion government inti- mated, if the 500 Halifax soldiers and police at Gace Bay cannot han- dle the situation. Corporation stores at mines 1, and 4 near here were raided dur- ing the night by 1,600 strikers. The company's loss from several similar rads in the district was said to ex- ceed $100,000. Up to the renewal of the lootinge there were signs that the three clergymen, who yesterday addressed the miners, had succeeded in calm- ing the men. The preachers saved from lynching 24 police, who had taken refuge in the jall after the New Waterford power plant battle. One miner was slain and two score wounded in the New Waterford en- counter. The power plant was vir- tually wrecked. Troop trains yesterday were pelted with rocks in Sydney. The troops, however, were quartered on com- pany property without further inci- dent. The strike was brought on by tie United Mine Workers of America 13 weeks ago when negotiations for u new wage agreement deadlocked be- cause of the company’s demand for 2 la 10 per cent wage reduction and |the miners’ demand for a 10 per cent increase. Cutting off miners’ credit at the company stores direct Iy precipitated the strike.
