One Of his latest exploits was at Dun
Kirk, when he shot dead in the air the
aviator and the observer of a German
aeroplane. He went out against this
machine alone, and as his machine was
the faster he was able to gain an ad-
vantageous position, from which he
fired with fatal precision.
Garros was born Of French parents
at Cape Town, South Africa, in 1885.
He is a graduate Of the University of
Paris and of it's law school and for a
time practiced his profession in the
French capital.
The exploits Of Garros have made
him prominent figure in aviation cir
cles throughout the world. He has ap-
peared in meets in Richmond. Chatta-
nooga, Memphis, New Orleans. Dallas,
Fort Worth. Oklahoma City, Waco,
Houston, San Antonio, Ell Paso. Mex
leo City, Vera Cruz. Havana and New
York and holds number of speed
prizes won at tournaments held in
many European cities.
On Dec. II, 1912, Garros assembled to
height of 1902 feet and established
worlds altitude mark. On his fight
from Tunis to Sicily in December, 1912,
he Travelled for distance Of 100 miles
entirely over water. When he flew
across the Mediterranean from St.
Raphael to Bizerta he Travelled 55S
miles in hours and So minutes.

W|P|NG OUT MALARIA
IN PANAMA CANAL ZONE
American Sanitary Officers
Meeting With Great Success.

Washington.-The report of the de-
partment Of health of the Panama ca
nal for the last calendar year shows
that the American sanitary officers on
the canal zone are meeting with re-
markable success in combating ma
laria.
Those other diseases so likely to Wis
1t white men in tropical climates, dys-
EMERY and typhoid fever, are also be-
ing COPIED with successfully. The report
shows that no deaths occurred among
Americans in the canal zone in the
year 1914 from malaria, dysentery or
typhoid fever Yellow fever, as is we'll
known, has long since been banished
from the canal zone by the scientific
efficacy and thoroughness of the meth
DDS of the American sanitary officials.
The fact is that malaria, not only
among the Americans in the canal re-
gion, but among the entire population
there, has been reduced to lower
point than ever before. In this con-
nection, it appears, apart from the re-
port for tho year 1914, that the mala-
rial outbreaks among employees in the
canal zone outside of Cristobal and
Toro Point are now at the lowest
point
The pneumonia death rate increased
considerably owing to prevalence of
measles among the black employees
and the overcrowded conditions in
which the people live in Panama The
five diseases causing the highest num-
Der Of deaths in their order are pneu-
monia, tuberculosis, nephritis, organic
diseases of the heart and malaria.
In the latter half of 1914 a periodic
physical examination was made Of all
food handlers in the kitchens, mess
rooms and commissaries Of the Pana-
ma canal with the result that one ty-
phoid carrier and number of cases of
contagious diseases were detected and
eliminated. This doubtless prevented
much disease among employees.
In Colon and Panama the figures
show high infant mortality, due to
ignorance and Indifference on the part
Of mothers.

MILLION MORE TO
GET MAIL DELIVERY
Rural Route Changes Will
Greatly Extend the Service.

--- Washington.-hfail facilities Will be
extended to 100000 rural patrons be-
fore July l, 1915, without increasing
tne present cost Of service, according
TO statement by Postmaster General
Burleson. This, it is explained, will be
done by readjusting present rural
routes so as to eliminate Implications
and unnecessary service and by means
OF the motor vehicle service authorized
by congress.
changes were authorized which,
without curtailment Of service, have
reduced operating expenses S177,644.
This sum has been utilized to estab-
hsh 263 new routes serving 31,O41 ad-
dltional families, or approximately
155,2O5 additional persons. Extensions
of existing service were put into effect
involving 1O4 additional miles Of travel
oy rural carriers. These extensions
serve 1902 additional families and ap-
proximately 6yO10 additional persons.
In explanation of his plans Mr.. Burle-
son says:
THE purpose is to enable the post
Office department to meet just demands
for mail service which thus far the
department has been unable to pro-
vide. This can be done only by care
full and painstaking readjustment of
existing service. Thorough survey and
study Of existing conditions therefore
have been made.
In some localities it has been found
there are unnecessary and unjustiiable
Implications and retracings Of travel
by rural carriers. In other cases it
appears that unusual privileges 1nvolv-
ing unnecessary service have been al
lowed. 1t is quite feasible to rectify
these inequalities, and this is being
done. ...a
Later we expect by utilizing mod
ern motor vehicles on improved high
ways to extend many existing routes
at no additional cost of service. AS
one of the results from this latter step
the delivery zone from important
postal centers will be doubled. Thus
families in the area Immediately tribu-
tary to these centers will be enabled
to take full advantage of the parcel
post as a means of transportation of
farm products.
Rural service will be extended to
every farmer reasonably entitled to it
as rapidly as the new adjustments can
be made"

Hamilton in frank division Of author
1ty which is likely to proceed without
friction. General D'Amade is said to
have resented upon more than one oc-
casion the tone of superiority and con-
deScension assumed toward him by
Field Marshal Sir John French during
the campaign in France and Flanders.
General Hamilton has tact and mag
nanmity. His intimate association
with Lord Kitchener as chief of staff
in South Africa began and ended with
out row-testimony to Hamilton's
ability to get along with the most ex-
acting and despOtic of generals, far
