President Wilson and his daughter,

their tongues around some of the "Jaw

propounded.
Though tho guests of their rivals In

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."

Call on the President

of his times. Tho stately dignity of
official position In yearB past, with tnll
collars, stuffy cravats, laces and ruf

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

Salt Marshes Furnish Principal Part

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

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

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.
