CRUSADE ON MALARIA
AND MOSQUITOES BEGUN
District Health Department Calls At
tention to Danger Coming from
Standing Water.

The District Health Department has
started an educational crusade against
mosquitoes and malaria. Warning is
given that unless steps are taken imme-
diately to combat the mosquitoes. ma
laria will increase here in very marked
degree
Last August, according to the depart
ment. only two blood specimens exam
Ined in the meteorological laboratory
showed malarial infection. So far this
month ten such specimens have been
found. Suggestions are given by the de-
partment as to how to fight mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes are destroyed by the res
moval of standing water, which is their
only breeding place, or. II such water
cannot be removed, by keeping it COW
cred with a film of kerosene. which pre-
vents the development of mosquitoes in
it." says the department. Even very
small accumulations of water are suf-
ficient for the development of large
numbers of mosquitoes and in this con-
nection attention should be paid to the
water standing in the traps Of yard and
area drains
When these traps are not frequently
flushed by rains or by use of the gar
den hose-and area drains are not fire.
quently so flushed-they are liable to give
rise to mosquitoes in neighborhoods sup
posedly well protected against such
pests. Investigations have shown the
misunderstanding mosquito breeding in
such places. AS 1t is, of course, undesira-
ble to remove the water from the traps
Of such fixtures, the remedy is to apply
small quantity of kerosene to each
trap at frequent intervals, say a table,
spoonful once a week.

|GARRISON FINISHES
| Plans FOR new ARMY
Secretary of War Will Submit Reor-
ganization Program to Presi-
dent Wilson. 3

Secretary Of War Garrison returned to
Washington yesterday from his summer
home on the New Jersey coast and in re-
sponse to inquiries stated that he had
completed a report to be submitted to
President Wilson with regard to q mill
tary policy for the United States. It Is
expected that he soon will have a con-
ference with the President and go over
the entire subject with him.
While the President has asked both
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels for re-
ports and recommendations as to the
military and naval establishments. Mr..
Garrison undertook the task Of working
out comprehensive military policy
months before he received the Presidents
request.
In cooperation with the General STAFF
and the chiefs Of the War Department
bureaus. he has covered the ground most
thoroughly, and decisions have been
reached as to practically all the details
of reorganization of the entire scheme
of national defense and preparedness for
war.
Some of Mr.. Garrison's recommenda-
tions will be far-reaching in effect. He
has directed himself particularly to the
question OF creating and maintaining
reserve force Of trained men who shall
be available for service with the army at
any time. This the United States now
lacks altogether. .
1t is expected an announcement Of the
recommendations Of Mr. Garrison wtl -
made within a few weeks
