-Instead <>f a silver spoon in his
mouth. Jim Clark, one of the brightest
boys in the Home for the Friendless,
most have been born with a carburetor
between his lips. Ever since then he
has been a monomania'- or rather a
motorlnaniae on the of auto
mobiles.
Jitn is three years old. His life has
been a sad one, but no one lias ever
seen him frown. The happiest moment
in bis life is when a motor car. be it
large or .-mall, rolls up to the door of
the home. I >n such occasions he can
not be restrained. He tushes to the
car, takes a thump at lite tires, crawls
under and regards its inner machinery,
mounts to the wheel and trios his best
to push off.
The ambition of his life is to be
able to crank up. He has pictures of
automobiles pasted all over his erib,
and Im frequently wakes his little play
mates in the night by shouting "Honk
honk" at the top of his voice.
Jim js fimfliarly known around the
home as The Chauffeur."

'SKEETERS BREED
IN BEER BOTTLES
Immense Swarm nf Them Are
Traced to Shed Where Un
washed Receptacle Lay.
NEW YORK. July 4.—That beer Is
an excellent liquid in which to deposit
larvae by female mosquitoes, was
proved by Richard T. Cadmus, one of
the inspectors appointed fe- Bloom
field, N J., by the state mosquito ex
termination commission.
The Bloomfield inspectors have com
pleted their survey of the town and
have been receiving congratulations on
the efficiency of their work, with the
exception of the locality hounded by
Bloomfield avenue. Orange street,
Crown street and Roosevelt avenue.
In this section residents complained
that the mosquitoes were both numer
ous and large. A search failed to lo
cate any breeding places In the neigh
borhood complained of. whereupon Mr.
Cadmus decided to make a thorough
personal insnection of the locality. He
started out yesterday and investigated
closely almost every nook and corner
in the territory complained of without
finding the leaf*! spot where larvae
could live. He was about to give up I
the search when he noticed a shed In I
the rear of a dwelling on Bloomfield
.avenue As he entered a swarm of
mosquitoes arose and almost Instantly
enveloped him.
As lie mashed the mosquitoes with
Ills hands, Mr. Cadmus, who Is a tem
perance man. discovered a strong odor
of -tale beer. He also noticed that
small swat ms of mosquitoes that arose
to attack him were compelled to alight
and discovered that none attempted to
fiy. Over in a. corner of dlie shed he
(discovered four beer boxes, each hold
ing 24 bottles, some of which were
nearly full of beer, others half full,
while others contained only a few
(spoonfuls and some were altogether
empty, hut every bottle was open.
Removing one of the half-filled bot
tles. from a box ho brought, it out to
the light and he discovered that on the
top of the liquid a largt amount of
latvae floated. He secured two of these
•bottles and a. dozen or so of the mos
quitoes and then had all the other bot
tles with their contents buried.
He has reported the affair to the
commission and the larvae bred in beet
will be watched with interest.
