When a mate mosquito, says to
• a female mosquito, "let's go out
for a bite to cat this evening,"
they have entirely different ideas
about dining
The male, a pleasant and all •
able fellow who feds on.the nec-
tar from flowers, will make a bee
line for the nearest petunia. The
female, who feeds on the blood
of man or animals, will head for
the nearest unscreened porch and
proceed to snake a pest of herself,

about the house, or mare accu-
rately, Which can find you.

In the northern part of the
United States and in Canada the
northern house mosquito is most
widely distributed, The southern
house mosquito is common in the
southern states. There is a tropi-
cal mosquito which inhabits the
Latin American countries and is
also found hr the south, The salt
marsh mosquito is buzzing about
beginning as early as 'March or
April. wherever there are salt
marshes, writes Emilie Tavel in
The Christian Science Monitor,

Besides green lawns and pretty
posies, rain also means mosqui-
toes. U.S. government entomolo-
gists believe the heavy rains will
increase mosquito numbers, A
rain barrel or an old tin can is
home sweet home to a mosquito.
Some species lay their eggs on
the surface of water and these
hatch and mature in a little over
a week,
To rid a residence of mosqui-
toes, seek out and eliminate if
possible all areas where water
has collected, Bird baths, for in-
stance, should be washed out
thoroughly once a week. Flat

weighs from 50 to 30 pounds, is

Dramatic Sounds
What are the ten most dramatic
sounds in everyday life? A group
of psychologists chose as the most
dramatic sound a baby's first
cry. They agreed that this sound
contains a variety of emotions -
happiness, excitement and a tinge
of sadness. Number two on
their list was the siren, i,e., the
ambulance, 'police or fire sirens.
There is a direct association, they
thought, between this sound and
the automatic fear° excitement
and emotional upheaval it causes
subconciously,
Following these two were other
sounds cnosen for the emotion
they contained and evoked:
Thunder of breakers on a rocky
beach: `Its melancholy, long,
withdrawing roar" of the poet
Matthew Arnold, which has
brought the surge and mystery of
cosmic power to so many centuries
of human beings.
The roar and crackle of a forest
fire: The, danger of a fire is one
of the basic primitive fears. Any-
one who has witnessed the roar
of a forest fire will never. forget
the terror and strange grandeur
of that experience.•
Foghorn: Its low melancholy
wail suggests the drama of hope,
warning and helplessness.
The slow drip of water: Mono-
tony itse,le possesses a strange
kind of drama, Each halting drop
becomes a minuscule of _eternity.
Gallop of a herd of horses:
Strength and beauty of unbridled •
animal life. Sound of conflicting
rythms ,suggests drama of wild
animal life.
Footsteps on a quiet night: The
drama off adventure of the un-
known.
Whistle of a train on a 5011
night: Combination of the unusual
and acceptance of one's circum-
stances,
Howl of a dog: Regardless of
what" •canine cause (or canine
emotion arousing the call), it
suggests the drama of loneliness
-of' the individual against the
world.

A great issue was at stake.
Must Gentiles who became Chris-
tians be circumcised and fulfill
certain requirements of Jewish
ceremonial law? Certain teach-
ers went about among Paul's
converts saying that the law
must be observed. Paul said,
"No", and he said it with no
small emphasis. Speaking of
these men who would bring the
Gentile Christians into bondage
he writes, "To whom we gave
place by subjection, no, not for
an hour; that the truth of the
gospel might continue with you.
Paul was so confident that he
was right that he fought for
Christian liberty before the high-
est court of the church in the
council at Jerusalem. The apos-
tles agreed that Paul should con-
tinue his ministry among the
heathen requiring only that they
refrain from meat offered to
idols, from blood, from things
strangleci and from fornication.
Paul could not conceive ul a
Jewish Christian church and a
Gentile Christian church. Jew
and Gentile were one in Christ
Jesus, In this he saw more
clearly than Peter. Peter had
been eating with the Gentiles at
Antioch but when some carate
from Jerusalem he withdrew and
Barnabas followed his example.
Peter war to be blamed. 01
Peter and Barnabas Paul said,
"I saw that they walked not up-
Gulpl-Nat Jonah and the whole
but only a curious visitor at an

rightly- according to the truth
of the gospel." He withstood
Peter to the face.
The church owe, much to Paul
for seeing that the gospel was
kept in its purity. •Ile said, "P
do not frustrate the grace of
God: for if righteousness come
by the law, then Christ is dead
in vain." We are not saved by
• our works, holt*ever good they
may be, 1'/e ere saved by the
faith of the Son of God. We are
saved by this faith and we must
live by it. 1f eve were saved by
money, social standing or educa-
tion, many would be left out.

With vegetables the aim 14 to

getting such things as peas and
corn when the quality is right

only. With beets and carrels, and
such things there is less rush,
as quality remains high for sev-
eral weeks. With the latter it le

It's Easier Now
The young lads who used to
spend most of Saturdays on their
knees weeding the lawn have it
easier today. That backbreaking
job has disappeared. All that is
necessary now is to spray with
one of the chemical Weed kill-
ers. A couple of applications
about a month apart, (to catch
any weeds that may have sprout-
ed after the first application) wilt
keep a lawn practically weed
free.
For driveways and paths these
sprays can also be used and if
we wish to stop all growth, grass
as well as weeds, we can use
other materials like special chem-
ical sprays, rock salt or used en-
gine oil, Some of these things
eyi),J alto keep down the dust,
and pro[ect from frost.
Treat 'Em hough
Most beginners hate to do some
very necessary surgery. Take the
bedding plants. These are well -
started annuals in both the Hower
and vegetable line which- are
grown from seed, sown indoors
or in hotbeds, or are bought
from the seedsmen or florists,
usually about a dozen to the box
or flat. The beginner is inclined
to set these out without any
pinching back, or without even
removing flower buds or flowers.
If just before or after planting
one pinches off quite a lot of
the growth, and especially all
flowers or buds, one will get
much sturdier growth and in the
end more flowers or hardiness.
For Quality
The main thing in getting ten-
derness in vegetables is to grow
them quickly, especially the sorts
