GORGAS PREDICTS MOST
 INTENSE CIVILIZATION IN
 TROPICS IN YEARS TO COME
Surgeon General Addresses Alabama Medical Society and Tells Them One Horse Power of Labor Can Produce Five Times
 As Much In Tropics As In Temperate Zone

That in years to come tropical coun- tries. formerly considered practically un- inhabitable. will boast enormous popula- ton and civilization to which that of America and Europe could not compare. was the prediction and climax of an ad- dress delivered last night before the Med ical Association of the State of Ala hama by Dr. William c. Gorgas, surgeon general of the United States army. The distinguished son of this state and America was greeted by large and enthusiastic audience. In a character istically transformations and modest man. Ter. he told of his life in Panama dur ing which by the application of modern science and industry he destroyed the malaria and yellow fever bearing mos of the now famous canal.
 Following the lecture Dr. Gorgas was honored with reception in the lobby of the Hotel Tutwier. formal enter tainment which due to the democratic ideas of the guest, assumed entirely nat nral and informal attributes. In the course of the reception Alabamians made known to Dr. Gorgas the fact that of his achievements they were exceedingly rroud, and of still greater honors to be accorded him they were absolutely con fident.
 Every Visiting Doctor Present
 The speaker, in his lecture, was given lapt attention. Every doctor attending the convention of the medical association was present. and in addition. many lay men of Birmingham and many women were seated in the hall and gallery While representatives of Birmingham society at tended in large numbers, the audience was entirely democratic. As an exem- plification of this fact it is only neces- sary to state that one of the visiting doc tors, whose feet, by new shoes and as- phalt pavement rendered wretched, had no hesitancy in removing the suffering members from the leather enclosures and thus relieved, sitting in the prominence of the stage unabashed beneath the story of scientific achiement
 In the beginning, Dr. Gorgas presented a picture of Panama as it existed when Americans arrived there for the purpose of making the isthmus sanitary. The place was full of tropical diseases. The speaker declared that it was the mosquito which caused the failure of the French project 20 years before
 When We undertook to dig the canal ' he added we knew what the French a score of years before did not know--that the two diseases of the tropics, malaria and yellow fever. were disseminated by two of the species of the large mosquito family. Naturally. we declared heart less warware on the mosquito and in 16 years We conquered
 How Disease Is Fought
 In fighting the disease of the tropics the speaker said, the course of procedure is under four distinct heads-to prevent the development of the disease bearing mosquito, to produce the destruction of the infected mosquito, to prevent human infection and to prevent the mosquito from becoming infected.
 Were man able to perform one of thesel tasks to perfection" he added it l,sa1 t.,
