The disease known as malaria, fever
and ague, fever and chills and marsh
fever. is caused by parasites in tn.
blood which feed upon the red blood
calls. These parasites are introduced
into the blood through the bite OF
mosquitoes.
The parasites are Of at least thre.
kinds, which can be easily distin.
guished In the blood IL placed under
the microscope. These are (1) par.
asite which produces its spores ever,
three days and causes what is called
quartan fever; (2) parasite which
produces its spores every other da,
and causes tertian fever; (s) parasite.
which cause the so-called malignan,
fever or pernicious malaria. which Ii
Of an irregular type and in which dan.
gerous complications most frequently
occur.
Quinine kills the parasites when ad-
ministered at tho proper time; but
generally 1t will not destroy all the
parasites in the body unless 1t is given
in sufficient doses and continued for
several months.
There are in the United States three
species Of mosquitoes which common
ly carry malaria. One Is found prin-
cipally In the Northern States, another
more abundantly in the Southern
States and the third occurs in both
Northern and Southern States. This
has been found to carry quartan and
tertian malaria in the South but sell
dom. II ever. in the North.
The anopheline, or misunderstanding
mosquitoes are distinguished from
most other mosquitoes # the United
states by the fact that their wings are
more or less spotted, and that in rest
away from the wall at an angle, while
with most others the body is parallel
to the wall.
These pass the winter as adults. In
the autumn they enter houses, stables,
barns. or other outhouses, or seek
other sheltered hiding places, and re-
main there until spring. They are
often found in the winter in numbers
in the cellars Of houses. where they
may be killed by fumigation.
These mosquitoes. as rule. bite
only after shutdown.
The Anopheles mosquitoes breed In
all sorts Of accommodations of standing
water, in pools. springs. watering
troushs, in the footprints Of cattle In
marshy land, and in marshes where
nsh are not abundant, in drains and
cutters checked with grass or weeds, In
old boats along the waterfronts. in
hollows in rocks, in the backwaters Of
even rapid streams, In earthenware
vessels. in water barrels and tubs. In

WHY NOT ARTnr1clALLY COOLED DWELLINGS,

II F dwellings can be heated in the winter season, why can they
not cooled in midsummer? The question carries with it a
suggestion to the American inventive mind. In view of all the
marvels of invention of our wonderful age why should there be any
problem in the matter of cooling dwellings artifciany by some
means hat shall not be prohibitive for the average householder?
1t is true that some large buildings are artifcially cooled, but the
methods used are very expensive and are practicable only for
those with large electric plants or who can afford TO pay for unim
tied ice. The electric fan is a poor device that merely stirs up
the air AMI has no effect in cooling the atmosphere. What is
needed is a process that will lower the temperature of a house to
a degree to be of comfort. The cooling of the air in factories
would be an immense boon to humanity. 1t would also be a very
great economical value. The manufacturers of the United States
could we'll afford to pay 100000 for such a process, for it
would be worth that much to them in the economy of labor in a
year. And think of the amount of energy that would be saved
for business and other affairs by cool dwellings and restful sleep
at night.

A TEST OF THE POPULAR MANDATE.

IT n Jersey CITY the opponents of commission government have
forced the issue by procuring the necessary number of sigma
lures for a special election on Tuesday of next week, Three
cities have rejected the proposition and one only, under peculiar
local conditions, has accepted it. The theory that the commission
act was passed in Difference to the great popular demand is yet TO
be proven. The result in Jersey City will perhaps throw some
additional light upon ii. That city has had all the benefit of a
propaganda that was begun before the commission act was passed,
and the advocates of the system have been busily at work for many
weeks efecting organization. The advantages should therefore be
in favor of the commission proposition. If it shall be defeated in
Jersey City it will be fair to assume that the men who had the
act passed did not carry the popular mandate. =

YOUTHFUL PRODIGIES
ATTRACT ATTENTION.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Since DR..
Boris sidis so successfully educated his
sol as to enable him to enter Harvard
University and undertake advanced
studies at the age, of II. scores Of other
youthful prodigies are attracting ma
tional attention.
One of the most notable of these, ac-
cording to a writer in the American
Magazine. is Adolph Berle, son OF the
Rev. A. A. Berle, pastor of the Shaw
NUT Congregational Church OF Bos-
ton. He was only 1917 Ear old when
he took the entrance examination for
Harvard. His work as a freshman
was hard, including as 1t did courses
in English German. Greek. history.
botany n zoology. But he found time
to make friends and was encouraged to
become a member of various organiza-
lions.
He played parts in the Harvard ORA
matte Club. and filled a role in the per-
Torrance given both years.
A real infant prodigy is Winifred
Sackville Stoner. daughter Of Surgeon
James B. stoner, of the United States
Marine Hospital at Savannah, who
was taught to operate a typewriter in.
telligently at 8 and at 8 vas writing
poetry.
A lad who is graduating from col

A Paving Suggestion.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star;
I am coming to you with what I
think Is a feasible solution OF the Mar
ket street paving problem. Although
1 am not an engineer and have not had
any experience with paving problems
except here In Newark, I would like to
recommend the following plan for con-
sideration by the Board of Works:
A good granite block foundation,
similar to the one in South Broad street,
covered with a thin coating of asphalt,
would give the durability of granite
and the smoothness and silence of as
phalt. If the top coating wore out II
could be repaired without much ex.

Take advantage of this kindness and
be humane to your horses. Then, too,

can at any time give your beast a
drink. Think of the animal at all
times during these days when even
you are thinking of your own comfort.

NAN WHO sHlRKs CITIZENSHIP DUTIES.

q PEAKER CLARK spoke the truth at Atlantic City last night
in addressing the Christian Endeavorers when he said that
"the hoodlums who run nne-tenths of our elections and
cast their own ballots, and perhaps other ballots, are better Amer
lean citizens than the fine haired business men who are too busy
to go to the polls" He was speaking to an assemblage, too, that
contained not a few of the very class of citizens he was scoring.
Mr.. Clark added: "Our forebears fought to give us the right Of
franchise, not to sit quietly at home. A man is not a good cii
zen unless he exercises that right. 1t is a religious duty that
should be ranked with the foremost" The speaker might have
drawn a parallel between the man who doesn't vote and the cow
ardly miHtiaman in the revolution who ran away or skulked at
home. The two are of the same neral calibre. And this public
shirk is always the severest critic of the citizen who takes an
active interest in politics, and he is always the readiest to impugn
the motives and honor of citizens doing organization work for
their political parties. Nor is the suggestion a bad one that the
law should dsfranchise that man who fails to vote in two general
elections, although in his case a heavy pecuniary penalty would be
more keenly felt.

Another Menace to Health.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
On several occasions / called the at
tention of the Board of Health TO the
condition of a plot of ground at Os-
borne terrace and Mapes avenue. Here
for the past six months a practise has
been going on which is detrimental to
health. Men have dumped ashes,
garbage and other filth Oh the plct.
When I first notified the Board of
Health they sent down and cleaned
away many dead dogs. cats and a
young calf. I suppose they thought
that their work ended here. Now, since
that time many more loads have been
dumped in the place. and I as n resi-
dent of this n~eighborhood van 1t
stopped.
AS I am at work all day l cannot ind
out who does the dumping, but I un-
derstand from others hat men drive
up in all sorts of wagons and dump
their garbage and then drive off un-
molested. Please, Board of Health, see
that this practise Is discontinued.

Medical chests on Trains.

Medical Chests on Trains
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
There should be d law passed in all
States compelling railroad trains to DC
equipped with medical chests for the
relief of passengers who suffer sudden
illness while travelling. The writer was
on a train coming from Boston re-
Gently, a fast train which makes but
three stops between Boston and New
York.
An elderly man was apparently all
right when he retired to his berth at
IL o'clock. An hour later he was
taken Ill with cramps and was forced
to leave the train at New Haven to
obtain medical aid. A small medicine
chest containing Jamaica ginger,
whiskey or any remedy good for such
troubles would have relieved h man.
The same thing happens on trains
daily and unless a physician happens
to be on board and has his medicine
case with him there is no relief for he
sufferer. TRAVELLING NAN.

. WANT. Exhaust vsl1e. clo.ea.

~ -
To the Editor OF the Evening Star: rE
The anti-noise and anti.smoke, asso-
Citations of this city would find ample
food for thought and p u to action in
the auto pests who open wide their ex-
haust valves to attract attention to
themselves. This habit is really a crime
and the drivers who persist In the trick
should be Jailed.
When one OF these pests happens to
cross Market and Broad streets with
out any cause whatever he opens this
exhaust valve, emitting thick gasoline
fumes which nearly ~suffocate pedes-
TRANS who are near. The noise Of the
engine chugging after this feat is also
annoying, particularly SO because 1t is
entirely uncalled for.
A city ordinance prohibiting this trick
should be enacted and heavy fines pro-
vided for the violators. On second Of
tense the pests ought to be given six
months in Caldwell in which to ponder
over all the fun they had annoying peo-
pie. During this hot weather we have
all we can do to keep Jul health and
remain out of the list of those pros
trated. For, that reason the fellow who
sees a joke in smothering peaceful resi-
dents with gasoline fumes and giving
them headaches from the noisy ma
chimes ought to be squelched.

II POLITICAL STATUS OF RECIPROCITY.

1a HERE is now no doubt that the Senate will pass the reci-
procity bill unamended, in which case it will go directly
to the President for his signature. Canada will then have
to act upon the agreement, which must ran the gauntlet of the
Dominion Parliament and be subjected to hot fire from the oppo-
sition. With the government back of the agreement, however, it
will be passed and reciprocity under the terms of the agreement
will be established between the two countries. President Taft's
administration will receive the credit for this important new de-
parture in the relations of the United States and Canada, but
singularly enough the result cannot be claimed as a Republican
party achievement. If Republicans alone in the House had voted
on the reciprocity bill it would have been defeated. The bill was
passed by Democratic votes. If the desires of the Republican regu-
lars could be gratifed the bill would never pass the Senate. 1t
has taken all the power and persuasion of President Taft to get
more than a corporaps guard of Republicans to give support to
the bill

THE MOSQUITO PROBLEM.

~ GOD and conscientious work has been done this season by
Mt the Newark authorities in destroying the breeding places
of mosquitoes. In no previous year was our city as gener-
ally free from the pest, while suburban places near here have it
in its worst form, Newarks experience shows what can be done
for mosquito determination by proper effort. The difficulty of local
treatment is that while Il municipality may clean up all its breeding
places of the pest, it cannot protect itself from incursions of clouds
of mosquitoes from other localities. The work of relief must
therefore be general in the State and be conducted under State
authority and in a comprehensive way. The mosquito problem can
be completely mastered in two years by a vigorous State policy
we'll financed.
