The male, a pleasant and aff- 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 nearetit ilnsereened porch and proceed to inake'a pest of herself. mosquitoes which Au can find about the house, or more accu- rately; which can fired you. s In the northern part of the United States and in Canada the northern house mosquito is,lnost 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 in,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 Monilor. The house mosquito is a stay- at-home. He hangs around the house, inside or outside, and rarely flies more than a mile away. The 'tropical mosquito is even lazier. He won't venture more than a few yards from his breeding place. Butthe salt marsh mosquito is a traveler, He doesn't mind going out of his way to be a nuisance, It -is nothing .for, him to fly 75 miles from home base. 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 bars or an ofd 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.

For family camp- ers or small groups it is rarely feasible to wipe out mosquitoes in the larvae stage. Their best protection is in destroying the adult mosquito as he lights on ground cover during the daytime hours, or as he flies during the early evening hours. r. e fi A long-lasting . DDT residual spray applied to vegetation in and around the camp site will destroy .mosquitoes lighting on it. During the hours of continuous flying in the evening a space spray containing pyrethrum or alletluin will give campers addi- tional comfort, 4 Citronella Is an old-fashioned friend to man in the woods, as is the time-honored mosquito net- ting. When packing these along with the baked beans end frying pan, Department of Agriculture entomologists strongly recommend that campers stow away a small paint sprayer powered by a gas- oline motor. Such a machine weighs from 50 to 80 pounds, is compact enoegh to be carried in the car, and is well worth its weight in comfort to the camper. When "Chu Chin Chow” Was Packing 'Em in The dramatic sensation of the years of the First World War was Chu Chin Chou, which Oscar` Asche presented at His Majes- ty's Theatre on August 31, 1916. Four years later, when the play was still running with undimin- ished vigour, Asche was chal- lenged with letting down the standard or the drama by de- voting himself for so long to this extravagant Eastern pantomine. He replied that he was a demo- crat; that art is'democratic:'and that the fundamental principle of democracy is that majorities are right. "It is inconceivable,' be said, "that an entertainment that has pleased hundreds of thousands of people is not sound. The criticism I listen to is the criticism of the box Once." He then seems to hale felt that this was arguing the matter on too low a plane, for he add- ed that "genuine intellectuals" liked the play as well as the general public. He emphasized the point by an appeal to Lan- cashire. "Lancashire is very ac- tive intellectually," he said, "and I know of one cultured Lance- -shire family that for throe years has booked eight seats in the stalls -on the first Tuesday in every; • month." , Equally Asche coulddhave cited` The Times, Tho Critic of The Times had not the. advantage of coming from Lan- CROSS�s WORD 10.

There were special articles in the news- papers, and posters outside His Majesty's announced that Chu Chin Chow had been played on more occasions than any other production "in this or any other theatre, in this or any other country, in this or any other world." Never in any one week during the whole of its run till that time had the receipts fallen to within a thousand pounds of the figure at 'which Asche had undertaken to withdraw the piece. There had been much ,speculation about the production costs of this fabulous show, and Asche now disclosed that . the total expense of launching Chu Chin Chow, with all its magni- ficence, way 55,350, or less than a fortnight's takings ... It celebrated its fourth birth- day with its 1,868th performance. By August 31, 1920, it had been seen by two and a half million people, and was still keeping Messrs. Grossmith and Laurillard out of a theatre which they were to take uver at the end of the run, or at the close of 1928. For this performance new costumes were provided for the manne- quins, and for the slave market and blue palace scenes., .. The day after Boxing Day Chu Chin Chow was acted for the 2,000th time.

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 chosen 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 hrought the surge and mystery of cosmic power to so many centuries of human beings. The roar and crackle or a forest .fire: The danger of a fire is one of the basic primitive feats. 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 turd helplessness?

Gal. 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 night 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 strangled and from fornication. Paul could not conceive oI 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 came from Jerusalem he withdrew and Barnabas followed his example, Peter was to be blamed. Of Peter and Barnabas Paul said, "I saw that they walked not up- Gulp]—Not Jonah and the whole but only a curious visitor at an Air Force equipment display, Peering into the intake of o jet fighter is Thomas Wing. rightly according to the truth of the gospel." I•te withstood Peter to the face. The church owes much to Paul for seeing that the gospel was kept in its purity. He said, "1 do not frustrate the grace of Sod: for if righteousness conte by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” We are not saved by our works, however good they may be. We are saved by the faith of the Son of Gocl. We are saved by this faith and we must live by it. If we were saved by money, social standing or educa- tion, many would be left out. But salvation by faith opens the door to all,, "Ilicydes? Tricycles?

(/€ GREEN Ajr THUMB Cordon Snaith, It's Easier New 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) will 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 will also keep down the dust, and protect from frost. Treat '.Gm hough Most beginners hate to do some very necessary surgery. Take the bedding plants. These are well - started annuals in both the flower and vegetable line which are grown from seed, sown indoors or in hotbeds, or are bought from the seedsmen of 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 let 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 c them quickly, especially the sorts of which the leaves or roots are eaten. If for some reason growth is checked, especially in the later stages, then more fibre develops and the vegetables become woody, To avoid checks, the ex- perienced gardener pushes his garden with lots of cultivation, watering when necessary and feasible, and using fertilizer• • either natural or chemical, or both. He will also thin properly so that the plants have room. • Harvesting Tips Within a few weeks the real harvesting of both flower and vegetables will be under way and where there has been a little planning this should gm on right through until fall. With flowers that make the best bouquets, the more we pick the more the blooms. This is espe- cially true with sweet peas, nas- turtiums, dahlias, pansies, etc. As a rule it is best to pick or cut these blooms regularly and just as soon as they are open or about to open. If we leave them too long and the flowers start going to seed, all the energy of the plants will go into that and soon blooming will cease. With tiny things like alyssum and other edging plants where picking is not possible, some experts make it a regular practice to shear off the fading bloom with a pair of clippers. Within a few weeks the plauts are coveyed again with fresh blossoms. With vegetables the aim is to get prime quality. This 'means getting such things as peas and. corn when the quality is right at the peak, a matter of days only. With beets and carrots, and such things there is less rush, as quality remains high for sev- eral weeks. With the latter it is a"good plan to continue the ori- ginal thinning, taking out every other plant until the whole row is gone. A farmer, tired of being single, went to town, chose a wife, mar- ried her, put her on the back of his horse and started home. Suddenly the horse stumbled. "That's once," said the farmer, and went on his way. The horse stumbled again, "That's twice," said the farmer. The third time the horse stumbled the farmer said, "That's three times" He and his bride dismounted, and he took his rifle and shot the animal. "Whatever possessed you to da that?" the bride asked; and she thereupon began a long-winded tirade about the farmer's stu- pidity. He listened for several minutes, looked steadily at his wife, and remarked. quietly. "That's once."
