POLITICAL COMMENT . ' " AND ANNOUNCEMENT Continued from 1st Page. Trenton. All the above was written to air our pride in thte achievement.. but here is the '\Milk in the Cocoanut." •Mr. Stevens while serving his county as Assemblyman, had his eyes open and his thoughts always upon what might be done to benefit his constituents. He saw this printing opportunity and gave his home people a chance at it, with the result that a little bunch of money came down here and was added to the business of this city, benefitting "butchers and bakers and candlestick makers" and others engaged in supplying the wants of the people of Cape May. Most of us are not political bosses, gentlemen of leisure, on statesmen out of a job, and we work for a living. Can we find any fault with„a man who goes to the legislature and is on 4he job all the time and regards his duty to" his county and his constituents as first and paramount? Why>should not people in Cape May have their share of the "States' work? Why should they not have some of The State's institutions? UUl liuvc m/iuc vi uit uiun. "

« EQUIPPED FOR BATTLE. Do you realize that our representatives have had to understand State conditions thoroughly in order to be able to understand State conditions thoroughly in order to be able to fight effectively for the rights of our county ?> Do you know that Stevens is one of comparatively few men in this county and State wbo thoroughly understands State conditions and the State government and is therefore equipped and ab^e to battle for the county 's rights as very few men are ? m. « "MAYOR'S OFFICE;' Longport, N. J., July 6, 1915. Hon. Lewis T. Stevens, Cape May City, N. J. Dear Mr. Stevens: Since the adjournment of the Legislature 1 hoped to have the pleasure of meeting you again and of verbally expressing to you the appreciation and gratitude of my people in this Borough for the efficient service you rendered to us in the Legislature last winter in the various matters concerning the protection of our Coast ; from encroachment by the sea. as well as other minor matters. It is acknowledged by all of us that your attention to these important matters was more prompt and your handling of them was more intelligent than any previous representation that we have ever had in the Legislature. The Borough as a whole realizes that were it not for your ability and energy we would not now have the protective legislation which you procured for us. We are all extremely grateful and' we trust that your future activities as a representative of the South Jersey people will be continuous and crowned with further success. With kind regards and best wishes. 1 beg to remain. Very truly yours, , (Signed) RALPH HARCOTTtT. • •• v Mayor." CAPE MAY COUNTY WILL CONTINUE A FOURTH CLASS COUNTY UNTIL 1920. examination into the law governing the classification of counties reveals the fact that no change is made until after the federal census is taken in 1020 five years hence. after the population of the various counties is determined BY this census, the leo islature passed a bill making a new basis for classification in accord with the increased ! population. the law fixing the present classification was passed in 1011. cape may county will remain in the fourth class, therefore, until 1020 and the granting of licenses for the sale of intox 1cating liquors will remain wtfr thf. court. the' state census taken this year (1915) has no bearing on the matter.

FREE THE CAPITOL OF MOSQUITO MENACE GEN. GORGAS TELLS HOW DISEASK-BEAKING INSECTS MAY BE ERADICATED— ROOF GUTTERS. TIN CANS AND WATER BARRELS AFFORD FAVORITE BREEDING PLACES. According to Surgeon General William C. Gorgas. of the army, the same methods used in exterminating the disease-breeding mosquito on the Panama Canal Zone may he employed successfully in Washington and other cities. He was in charge of sanitation during the construction of the. canal, and is credited with having made I the work possible. In a recent interview Gen. Gorgas said that the danger from mosquitoes in the National Capital may be minimized by following this simple plan. Abolish roof gutters, drain off all stagnant water, dou't per- 1 mit empty cans and barrels to sit about the place, and keep fever patients screened so that mosquitoes cannot bite them and spread disease to others. Only Ttco Disease Bearers. "There are several hundred varieties of mosquitoes." said Gen. Gorgas. "but only two species are regarded as disease-hear-ing. These are the anophenes species, which spreads malaria, and the stegomvia species, which conveys yellow fever. " When we undertook the clean-up at Panama we began by draining all puddles and clearing off all brush within 200 feet of , a residence. "The reason for observing that distance is this: The , disease-carrying mosquito cannot flv more than 200 feet. If a house has no undrained water within that distance, there is no danger of a mosquito conveying disease. " Underbrush, however, affords a protection to the mosquito. I for it prevents the insect from being blown away by the wind, and it also affords a resting place. If the mosquito can proceed in

stages through the underbrush to a house, he is able to cover more than 200 feet. Peril of Stagnant Water. "Get rid of all stagnant water — that is the prime thing in * any campaign against the mosquito. Mosquitoes come from eggs which are always laid in water. About 100 eggs are laid at a time, and they hatch within two or three days, going into larvae, which remain in the water for about ten days. Mosquitoes should be (destroyed during this period. ' 1 This can only be accomplished by getting rid of all standing water about a place. •* "It is impossible, hdwever, to drain streams and lakes, and other means must be used to exterminate the larvae there. On the Panama Canal we used oil. Kerosene gets into the breathing apparatus of the mosquito and it dies during the larvae period. "Where there was brush or other obstruction in the water, making it doubtful that -the kerosene would reach everywhere, we used larvieide, which is a poison, with carbolic acid as a base, and which penetrated almost Anywhere. "I found the yellow fever mosquito, both in Panama and in Cuba, was traceable largely to roof gutters and water cans. We arranged Tua inspection system to destroy these lading places. Every poor family in Panama and in Havana, for instance had rain water barrels.. , , Covered Bail i Watfr Barrels. "The tops of these were covered with wire which permitted the; water to get in but kept out the mosquito. The same precaution was taken with cisterns. Roof gutters eventually were producers of yellow fever and the malarial mosquito. "In a city like Washington the question of removing all reeeptacles tvhich catch and hold water is the keynote to the mosquito .problem. \ ("The insects may be gradually but surely exterminated if there is no water left about for them to employ as breeding places. "The so-called Jergfy mosquito is a salt water product. He can fly a distance of fifteen to twenty, miles, but he is not diseasebearing., "The yellow fever mosquito is native as far north as Norfolk; the malaria-conveying insect >-nn live almost anywhere, although I do not think they get farth-q- north than Connecticut. ' oi$**To spread disease it is necessary for these mosquitoes to bite some one afflicted either with yellow fever or malaria. The screening of sufferers from malaria or yellow fever, therefore, is essential. "It is strange to note that a jn-rson who has suffered from malaria may supply a mosquito with the germs for two or three years afterward. ' The yellow fever 'patient, on the other hand, can transmit the germs ordy for a few days and after a brief period the mosquito biting a yellow fever patient would not become a disease bearer. "The ordinary mosquito doesn't spread disease because he digests the germs." — Washington Star. The popularity of Lewis T. Stevens, candidate for the Republiean nomination for the Senate, against D. Miles Rigor, is daily increasing, and according to present indications he is practically assured of the nomination at the primary election. • Stevens has served credibly in the Assembly for two terms, and secured perhaps more publicity for the county than any on? Assemblyman in the House. He has always stood for the best in politics, for decency, law and order. — From Cape May County Tinips. REPORT OF CHILDREN'S' HOME SOCIETY. The New Jersey Children's Home Society has just issued its first quarterly report for the fiscal year beginning June 1st. The report contains interesting figures of the State-wide work which the Society is doing in behalf of New Jersey's homeless children. From its beginning until September 1st. 1915, the Society has received 2139 children. Thirty were taken during the quarter and for the same period 31 boys and 28 girls placed in family homes. Twelve hoys and sixteen girls passed out of the control of the Society. Of this number two girls were married. The agents of the Society made 223 visits to children in foster homes and delivered 127 addresses concerning the work. The Society has 692 children in family homes. In addition to these 275 children have been legally adopted. At the end of the quarter ninety-nine unsettled children were reported, of whom 48 were boys and 51 girls. The majority of these were in the receiving home while others were in hospitals, temporary homes and at hoard. Eighty-nine children were cared for in the Receiving Home during the quarter. The District Superintendents of. the Society investigated 173 cases concerning 415 children. Of these 130 cases concerning 336 - children were investigated for the first time. Forty-one letters of inquiry for children were received, with a total of 72 formal applicants. Thirty* applicants desired boys while forty-two desired girls. The Treasurer, H. Arthur Smith, reported receipts from alf sources amounting to $5142.14. During the summer months there is always a falling off in the receipts of the Society, although the work and the expenses go right on. As a consequence the Societyis urgently in need of funds to meet current expenses.
