President Wilson and his daughter, Miss Eleanor Wilson, and Secretary and Mra. Bryan sat In the audience, which laughed nnd applauded as con gressmen and newspaper representa tives vied with each other In twisting their tongues around some of the "Jaw breaking" words which Secretary of Agriculture Houston, the pronouncer, propounded. Though tho guests of their rivals In the "bee," the statesmen were not without their supporters in tho audi ence. Scattered through the large loom were many members of both houso and eenato who were not to enter the competition. There were also present wives and daughters who sat nervously watching to see how Why Visitors to Capital IV is interesting to hear visitors to the White Houbo relate the pur poses for which they desire to see tho president. With many It Is a mat ter of Idle curiosity Some want to see it ho is taller than they thought he wns, whether his eyes are blue, whether ho Iibh a dimplo when he Biniles, and a myriad of small dotails that would be thought ordinarily of little consequence, aud yet it is these very details that go to make up the popular impression of a public serv ant. At a recent reception one solemn vlsaged man, evidently a professor, was standing in line shuffling his foot. He was 'an oxceodlngly well-read gen tleman, and called attention to tho fact that 25 of tho 27 presidents of . tho United States had parental ances tors in tho British Isles England hav ing 1G, Scotland two, Ireland three, und Wales one. Martin Van Buren and Theodore Itoosoyelt represented a Dutch ancestry, ho said, and tho curi ous fact is noted that although Prance I has been so closely associated with the birth and history of tho country, there has not been a president of French or Latin blood. "But with the Influx of immigration from tho south of Eu rope," said tho professor, as he shift ed to tho other foot, "this condition is sure to change." The physiognomy of the men today as compared with tho portraits of men who had lived iu former times pre sents a most Interesting study. Tho He Can Tell Them by the OF the several hundred police chiefs who canio hero for tho con vention one of tho moat interacting characters is Chief Henry Currau of Nashville, Tenn, In addition to having one of tho best regulated departments In the country, Chief Gurran attained fame Juno 4, 1908, at Detroit, Mich., when tho police convention mot there, by throwing a colored mnn out of a restauarnt when he attempted to eat at the same table. A warrant for Cumin's arrest was sworn out, but before it could bo served the chief grabbed a train and Men Skated and Women THE crowd that frequents tho soda fountain at thn drug store at the corner of F nnd Flftoenth streets, just across from tho Treasury building, where women In tholr new gowns leave the street cars' to commence the parade up fashlonablo F street, had a grand time fdr two hours tho other day. i A barrel of syrup dropped from the tall eud of a transfer wagon, tho head of the barrel came out, and 50 gallons of juice covered about 200 square feet of sidewalk. Five women wearing tight-fitting skirts wont down almost iu a heap when they struck tho syrup. Tho tight skirts kopt them fiom skating through, as tho men did. Soon an army of drug dorks were out "shooing" tho people around tho slick aiot and cflcortlug thoae who fell wSUJ were from these representatives of tho "common peepul" wcro going to acquit them' selves. Fourteen statesmen and an equal number of newspaper men faced "Pro feetor Houston when ho called his roll, but when after nearly an hour had elapsed, during which tlmo the teacher had selected some of tho most difficult specimens from tho well-worn "blue-backed" speller. Itopresentatlvo Frank H. Willis of Ohio was tho lono occupant of tho stage. Not only had tho doughty represen tative shamed tho press, but ho had trailed the colors of the sen'ato In the dust as well. Ills last rival was Sena tor Miles Polndcxter of Washington, who had tripped on "hydrocephalus" by adding an o to tho last syllabic. "Hydrocephalus," which for tho edifi cation of tho general public Mr. Web ster and other -authorities rfdeflno as "an accumulation of serous fluid with. In the cranial cavity," or "water In the head," appeared to bo a favorite word with "Professor" Houston and a stum bling block for hjs pupils. It had proved n Waterloo for Representative Thetus W. Sims of Tenncsseo before Senator Polndexter stumbled over it. Tho statesmen only won by "two up" however, for Ira 13. Bennett had upheld tho spelling reputation of tho press manfully, until the pronouncer nprang bdellum upon him. Ha paused to rack his brain and then made hU best effort with "dellum," which sent him from the stage, to leave the vic tory between the house and senate. Call on the President president necessarily reflects tho type of his times. Tho stately dignity of official position In yearB past, with tnll collars, stuffy cravats, laces and ruf fles, has passed away, and now in stead of gaining personal distinction through rich attire or an appearance of official position, it is studiously avoided, in response to tho popular ideas of democracy. The only op portunity accorded tho American of adorning hlmsolf in gold and laco Is in tho precincts of the lodgo room or on tho governor's staff, for even tho military Itself is becoming most se date and, unobtrusive in military trap pings. As wo waited our turn for an audi ence with tho president, there was plenty of tlmo for discussion on all theso points, for there were some 15 prospective postmasters In the ad vance guard, and progress1 was slow.

Another thing has made Chief Cur ran famous among 1i1b brother chiefs; his ability to tell whore a negro is from by the color, kinklness and length of the hair, and shape of tho head. The other day at tho Raleigh hotel tho news of the chief's power leaked out among the colored waiters. One for curiosity asked the veteran: "Mister, can you tell whero 1'bo from?" "Take off your hat, nigger," commanded Chlof Curran. Tho waiter did so. "Why I would say 'that you were from Pensa cola, Fla.," said tho chief And tho chief was right. "Great dawd, mister, how does you do that?" tho waiter in quired. Tho chief figured out this way; "Negroes from Pcnsacola and that particular section of Florida havo a peculiar reddish hair."

Salt Marshes Furnish Principal Part of Pest and as They Are Large and Voracious Feeders They Make Life a Burden. Patorson, N. J. The salt marshes along tho coast furnish tho prlnclpnl part of tho mosquito plaguo In most of the Now England states. Contrary to tho habits of most mosquitoeB, thoso of the salt marsh species fly in- The Brown Salt Marsh Mosquito. land long distances, nnd as they aro large and vory abundant, and aro vora cious feedors they make Ufa a burden to many inhabitants. There are two species of mosquitoes which breed abundantly on tho salt marshes nnd which are commonly called tho brqwn salt marsh mosquito and tho banded snlt marsh mosquito. The brown species breed upon tho marsh early In the season, going long distances Inland in oenrch of food. About July first, it is almost wholly replaced by tho banded species, which remains during tho rest of the season. The general methods of mosquito control aro: (U A draining or the marshes; (2) oiling the breeding pools, nnd (3) screening of all rain water rocoptacles. The first draining Is the method which should be used for the permanent control of the mos qulto nuisance; the second may bo employed temporarily until draining can bo done, nnd tho third should re ceive attention each year. Where mosquito larvae or wrigglers aro found In any pool, they may be Tho Banded Salt Marsh Mosquito. killed In a few minutes by spreading a film of oil over tho surface of tho water. It is necessary for tho larvae to come to the surfaco about oner each two minutes to brentho, and the oil not only preventa tho air from en tering their respliatory system, but ft M OF COAST also enters their breathing tubes, de stroying tho tissues, and they soon die. The oil must bo applied about onco each ten days to keep tho pool In a safo non-breeding condition For this purpose ordinary" koroseno, which can bo purchased from any grocer, will answer. Some prefer a heavier oil, called light fuel oil. Oiling, at Its best. Is but a tem porary expedient, and should be prac ticed on the salt marshes only until tho marshes can be drained. In mid summer tho tall vegetation often ob scures many small breeding places, and llkewlso makes It difficult to dis tribute the oil on tho surfaco of tho water, where needed, most of it strik ing tho vegetation. A convenient method of applying oil Is by means of small comprossed air sprayers with cylinders of galvanized sheet iron. Each cylinder contains a pressure pump and will hold about ten and one-half gnllons of liquid. It may be carried In the hand or held by a strap thrown over tho Bhoulder. Such nn outfit, Including short pieces of hose with nozzlo, may bo purchased for about $4.50. A two-foot extension rod is almost a necessity and costs 35 cents extra. Whero largo areas aro to bo treated barrels of oil should be distributed at various, convenient points, in or around the marsh. Tho amount of oil to bo applied Is one fluid ounce to each 15 squaro feot of water surface. A less quantity will often fall to kill the wrigglers.
