Skinner, who is employed by the Anti-Mosquito board of the Metropolitan area. North Shore Assists "This board is composed of the vil- lages and towns in Cook, Du Page and Lake counties who desire fewer mos- quitoes. Each town supports the board financially and voluntarily. Last year the membership consisted of: Maywood, River Forest, Oak Park, Glencoe Forest Preserve District of Du Page county, board of supervisors of Du Page county, Downers Grove, La Grange, Park Ridge, Downers Grove Sanitary District, Kenilworth, Berwyn, and Clarendon Hills. Lake Forest, Lake Bluff and Western Springs became members of the Anti- Mosquito Board for the first time this year. Winnetka, Wilmette and Evans- ton on the north; Forest Park and Melrose Park on the west have noti- fied the Anti-Mosquito board that they would take membership. "Here is how the actual work is done. Upon request of the city or town, Major Skinner makes a mos- quito survey, and points out to the man designated by the mayor or vil- lage president the spots which need attention. One of them, by the way, is the storm sewer catch basins. They have to be oiled every ten days throughout the summer in order to keep mosquitoes from breeding within. "Then Major Skinner checks up with the men to see that the work is done, properly. Householders can help by making sure that they are not breeding mosquitoes on their own | premises.

They breed in stopped-up roof gutters, in tin cans, in the back yards, which hold a few teaspoons full of water and in cess- pools where they are used. Boy Scouts Big Help "In making these 3,000 inspections, Boy Scouts were invaluable. Out in Oak Park, Berwyn, La Grange and Downers Grove they quickly learned where to look for breeding and be- came adept in pointing out actual wiggletails to the home-owners. They are at work again this year. The Chicago District Golf associa- tion has asked that each member co- operate with the Gorgas Memorial and rid the district of mosquitoes and many clubs. have been surveyed and many more will be surveyed just as soon as possible. This is the kind of co-operation that gets a job dane. "The Chicago Daily News last sum- mer said, editorially, that we were on the right track when an expert was employed and that he should have our continued support; that we were not to be dismayed if miracles were not wrought within a few years. "Mosquitoes do not travel far de- spite the fact that they have six legs and two wings. Destroy breeding places near at home and you are pretty apt to have a pleasant summer. Every village in the district, no matter whether it is in Cook, Du Page or Lake county, ought to join in the anti- mosquito warfare." Mr. and Mrs. Herbert V.
