Dr. Symington Tells
of Mosquito Dangers
Different Varieties, Custom of
Life and Travel Habits
Described
New Knollwood Residence
By Dr. J. Symington
The mosquito season is here again,
and in some communities the public
may desire to have freedom from
this pest. In considering the problem
of eradication and control of mosqui
toes, we must fully realize that we
may have several kinds of mospuitoes
in one locality, and that these differ
ent varieties may differ decidedly in
customs of life and travel habits.
Along the seacoast, from Maine to
Texas, we have a mosquito called
“Aedes Sollicitans” that breeds in
brackish water, and which travels
long distances voluntarily w'ith light |
breezes. This species emerges in large |
numbers from time to time and be-1
comes very annoying. Also, in recent
years, with the development of oil i
fields and gas wells, inland sources;
of salt water under pressure have been ,
released and the water has been |
brought to the surface, and this for- |
mer coastal mosquito has established |
itself in several ^ inland localities
where it formerly did not exist.
In villages, towns, and cities we j
have local mosquito nuisance prob-!
lems for which we ourselves are'
I
largely responsible. These local nui-1
sances are caused by a mosquito i
know’n as the Culex, and in the south- j
em states also by another known as
the “Stegomyia,” which is closely as
sociated with many but reproduces
only in fairly clean water. Both of
these mosquitoes reproduce in water
containers which we allow to be so
placed as to catch and hold rain wa
ter. The Culex also propagates in
enormous quantities in dirty water
and in collections of water heavily

GOODYEAR PATHFINDER
When you buy tires be sure you g-et the tire
that will give you most for your money.
Be sure you g-et the tire so far ahead in quality
and value that it is outstandingly the first-
choice tire of the world.
That tire is the Goodyear Tire. For 16 yeare it
has been true that “More people ride on Good
year Tires than on any other kind!”
Recently a great and unbiased public institu
tion completed a nation-wide survey, asking’
American car owners “What tire is best?”
The vote, representing every section and unin
fluenced in any way, shows a preference for
Goodyear Tires nearly 2 1-4 times that for the
second tire, and five times the average prefer
ence for all other makes.
No thinking man will allow mere sales talk to
weigh ag’ainst public testimony like that.
Just keep firmly in mind that Goodyears enjoy
leadership because they give the user some
thing- extra, and that the user gets that some
thing’ extra today at no premium in price.
When the hig-h-pressure dealer seeks to sell you
a second-choice tire ag'ainst your better judg
ment, protect yourself by asking’ him this sim
ple question:
“Why should I buy a second-choice tire, when
first-choice costs no more?”

you the finer
quality that
you get in a
