out blare of trumpet, but was one OF
the most heroic efforts ever made in
the interests of humanity. A. T. Bris-
tow, writing in the Worlds Work,
says 1.-The story of the investigation
tells of self-sacritice and courage that
transcends the bravery of the soldier
on the battlefield The excitement Of
battle buoys the soldier up so that he
forgets danger, and he remembers the
old adage: Every bullet has it's bill
let But when a man in cold blood
deliberately allows a mosquito, which
has fed on yellow fever patients for
DAYS, to bite him, and this with the
full knowledge that he may become in
fected with one of the most rapidly
fatal of all tropical fevers; when men
wrap themselves in the clothing taken
from yellow fever corpses and so clad
lie down to sleep on beds covered with
filthy blankets and sheets from yellow
fever hospitals, with soiled towels from
yellow fever patients on their pillows,
and so spend their nights for three
weeks, we can call it heroism, or cour-
age or sacrifice. 1t is all three"
The investigation board, which was
appointed by the surgeon general of
the United States army, consisted of
Mai. Walter Reed, surgeon in the
United States army, and the contract
surgeons James Carroll, Aristides
Agramonte and Jesse w. Lazear, of
the United States army. Immediately
On their arrival in Cuba experiments
with the mosquito were begun. And
right here mention should be made
that back in 1881 DR.. Carlos Finlay,
born in Cuba of an English father, had
proposed the theory that yellow fever
was conveyed by means of mosquito
The United States army yellow fever
commission went to work to prove this
theory. The commission discovered
that it takes IL days for the mys-
ferrous organism of infection to travel
from the mosquitoes stomach to the
salivary glands, and that curing cold
weather the time may be heightened
to Is days. The mospitoes were al
lowed to bite at intervals of four, six
and IL days. respectively, after having
fed on yellow fever patients, and the
disease was not produced; the same
mosquitoes used on and after the
twelfth day communicated yellow fever
infection.
DIR. Carroll permitted himself to be
bitten on the twelfth day, and came
down with the fever. He recovered.
DIR. Lazear was bitten on the tenth
day and did not take the disease. At
later time, while in the yellow fever
hospital, he permitted mosquito to
settle on his hand, and In five days
fell ill with the fever. He died at the
end of a week. his life sacrificed ''for
science and humanity"

Of bed. He heard a quartet singing
and It sounded lovely. At times
there would be only one voice and
then the others would sing. There
he stood, within range of the side
windows in the glare of the light,
engrOssed with the music, when il
suddenly dawned on him that the
side window shutters of the parlor
were open and anyone in that street
could see him, He made a dash for
the window and closed the shutters
and went back to the phone. when
Il occurred TO him to call his wife
down to hear the music and as he
went through the drawing he
discovered the front windows were
open and he had bcen standing in

young girl, who was with the com

TO sing two verses to help carry out

she did the best she could. Three
