CAN STOP MISSISSIPPI
FLOODS WITH EASE.
We Don't Build Our Dams Wide
Enough. Says Sir William Will
cocks, Builder of Assuan.
/, DIsMIssEs MOSQUITOES, TOO

There's no need to have mosquitoes
buzzing around an annoying people, &C
cording to Sir william willcocks. who APP
peared before the House Committee on
Rivers and Harbors. yesterday. Sir Will
lam would not swat mosquitoes, nor
would he capture them. He would adopt
scientific system Of drainage In all
regions where the mosquito has its habi-
tat. Sir William is an expert on DRAIN
age and in dealing with that subject he
! has come to be an expert In mosquito
determination.
Sir William willcocks began his war
fare on mosquitoes in the Nile Valley.
He built the Assuan dam, which Is one
Of the engineering marvels Of the world.
He told the committee in an interesting
way today how the Africans rid them
selves of mosquitoes.
Why" he said with a characteristic
English drawl, lat Khartoum, where the
two Niles meet, the boats bring down
the worst and most malignant mosquitoes
in the world. and yet the drainage there
Is so perfect that now we fine a man
twelve shillings for every mosquito seen
on his place
This observation seemed to arouse
Representative Scully, who halls from
New Jersey. which State Is believed by
many to be the starting point OF nearly
all the mosquitoes 10 the world. From
the moment Sir William mentioned mos
quitoes Mr.. ScuIIy hung onto every
word as though speIlbound
Sir william came to talk about the
mississippi River. but he found the COM
mitteemen so absorbed. in his discussion
of mosquitoes and malaria that ii was
some time before he got around to the
main question. The Englishman was in
vited to give testimony relative to the
hood problems on the Mississippi He
said II would be easy to put that great
waterway in straightjacket
You ought to build your dams bigger -
he said. Il notice that some of them are
eight feet wide at the top. That is
nothing. No dixie should be less than
twenty-five feet wide. The BabyIonians
never built one less than 100 feet wide.
The bigger the river the easier the task.
On river like the Mississippi. where the
Hood rise Is only foot day, IL should
be easier to control than on a river
where the flood Just walks I'D the sides -
Sir William expressed amazement at
the Immense stretches of unclaimed
lands that he had seen on his Journeys
throughout the United States
You have such crowds of lands" he
said. Why. in poor Egypt a hand $
breadth Of land is cultivated. and We get
two crops a year"
