In a work entitled Walter Reed
and yellow Fever" by Howard A.
Kelly, professor Of gynecological surg.
cry, Johns Hopkins University. DR..
Reed is mentioned as having conduct
ed an investigation of an epidemic of
yellow fever prevailing at Pmar del
Rio Barracks, about 1902 miles from
Havana. in 1900. DR.. Reeds descrip-
ton of the visit and the conclusions
he drew from it are quoted. including
his opinion that it was necessary to
determine the truth or error of the
theory of DR.. Carlos J. Finlay, the first
to promulgate it, that yellow feveu
was transmitted by tine mosquito.
From this the author proceeds as cop.
led below, the mosquito he calls the
Stegomyia fascata being that which
is known in Honolulu discussions as
the Stegomyia calopus
Notwithstanding the fact" Dr.
Reed remarks elsewhere, that Finlay
had no results to show in support Of
his theory, and that the latter had
been rejected by other investigators,

LITIGANT ATTEMPTS
THE LIFE OF JUDGE


SAN FRANCISCO, November TO-
Drawing revolver during a crowded
extra session of the Superior Court,
Charles Adler of the Union Electric
Company, today made sensational
attempt to kill Judge J. J. Trabocco.
The judges life was only saved by
the prompt action of bystanders who
knocked his arm up as he was about
to pull the trigger. Before he coulu
act again, friends rushed Adler out
of the court and into a taxicab lie
escaped
Il shall get another gun and got
him yeti" cried Adler, as the door Of
the taXicab was slammed behind him
by friends, who literally threw him
into it to assist his escape.
Adler last June sued J. w. Hans
brough for a $1,000 electric bill Judg,
ment against Adler was awarded by
Judge Trabocco, who is declared to
have made the assertion that ''Adler
is simple minded"
During the session this morning,
Adler rushed at the judge with MS
fists. Clerk NJ. p. Bruton jumped at
him and fight followed during which
Adler drew his gun, held Bruton of
and was about to fire at the judge

pleasanter to drive upon and easier
for the horses, and therefore the al,
vantages Of good road are in some
degree offset by the fact that an
earth road at certain seasons is the
better Of the two.
The writer has always advocated,
that where it is practical. it would be-
we'll to leave smooth earth road
alongside of the stone or gravel road;
so that the drivers might choose be-
tween the two. When tho weather Ii
fine and the earth road is smooth. the
drivers will usually take that in pref
erence to the hard road. This saves
wearing the hard road, and thus it
serves q double purpose. Let heavy
rain descend and everybody takes the
hard road. The difference Is the i'm
proved highway is good 866 days in
the year, and the other road is good
and bad by turns. Having them side
by side. which can easily be done
without additional expense, the people
have the choice.
There IL another feature Of tho per-
manent road that should not be lost

tho crops are being planted, some
times a heavy rain will fall. 80 that
the fields are too wet to work. With
good roads the farmer can make q
trip to town, do the necessary er-
rands, haul of load Of grain or hogs
and keep his farm hands employed.
If the roads are unimproved, he can
neither work the farm nor travel the
highways.
Every road overseer, and in fact ev-
cry farmer, should send to the state
engineer of his state, and to the Office
Of Public Roads at Washington, and
have his name put upon the mailing
list, so that the bulletins and circu-

Pasteur's Birthplace.

The birthplace of Pasteur at Dole
has become q place of pilgrimage for
the people Of Jura and the neighboring
departments. They go to contemplate
with respect this modest dwelling
where. on December n, 1922. one of
the most illustrious savants OF our
time first saw light, and the municipal
council. by unanimous vote, has pur-
chased the house. Pasteur up to the
end OF his life showed the greatest af-
lection for this little house. Notwith-
standing his great and manifold Ia
bors, he never allowed a year to pass
without visiting the old home, which
he always beheld with emotion.
Great was Pasteur's Joy on a certain
visit to his birthplace when he found
at Arbois the ancient signboard of the
tannery Of his father, with it's gaudy
colors. He brought it piously to Paris,
to the institute In the Rue Dutot, and
there placed it in his bedroom, by the
side of a portrait Of his mother, which
he painted himself when he was ff-
teen years old.

upon a road that is imperfectly drain
ed
When the writer was attending the
great International Meeting Of ROAD
Engineers in Paris, 1908, one of the
delegates asked an eminent French
engineer how soon after the road was
built he commenced to make repairs.
His answer was: 1.-THE next day."
If any place "a stitch in time saves
nine," it certainly will do so on the
highway. The splendid roads of
Europe are looked after by an attend
ant who goes over them every week,
and as soon as break appears, the
necessary repair is made. In this
country the practice has been to build
an expensive road or pave street at
high cost, and do nothing with it un-
til it becomes impossible.
