How the Government
Is Meeting The
Malaria Problem

Four per cent. of the inhabitants
of certain sections of the South have
malaria. This estimate, based on the
reporting of 204,881 cases during
1914, has led the United, States Pub
lie Health Service to give increased
attention to the malaria problem, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
Surgeon General. OF 1896 blood
specimens examined by government
| officers during the year, 1877 showed
ma1arial Infection. The infection
rate among white persons was above
eight per cent, and among co1ored
persons twenty per cent. In two coun-
ties in the Yazoo Valley, 40 out of
| every 100 inhabitants presented evil
dence of the disease.
Striking as the above figures are
they are no more remarkable than
those relating to the reduction in the
incidence of the disease following
surveys of the Public Health Service
at 81 places in nearly every state of
the South. In some instances from
aniincidence of fifteen per cent in 1914
a reduction has been accomplished to
less than four or five per cent. in
1915.
One of the important scientific dis
coveries made during the year was in
regard to the continuance of the dis
ease from season to season. Over g.
900 Anophe1ine mosquitoes in mala-
rious districts were dissected, during
the early Spring months, without find
ing q single infected insect, and not
until May Is, 1915, was the first par
asfte in the body of mosquito dis
therefore, concludes that mosquitoes
in the latitude of the Southern States,
ordinarily do not carry the infection
through the winter. This discovery
indicates that protection from ma
Iaria, may be secured by treating hui
man carriers with quinine previous to
the middle of May, thus preventing
any infection from chronic sufferers
reaching mosquitoes and being trans
mitted by them to other persons.
Although Quinine- remains the best
means of treating malaria, and is also
of marked benefit in preventing in
lection, the eradication of the disease
as a whole rests upon the, destruction
of the breeding places of Anophe-
line mosquitoes. The Public Health
Service, therefore, is Urging def
mite campaign of draining standing
water, the filling of low places, and
the regarding and training of streams
where rnaIariI mosquitoes breed. The
oiling of breeding places, and the
stocking of streams with top-feeding
minnows, are further recommended.
The Service also gives advice regard
ing screening, and other preventive
m easures as a part of the educational
campaigns conducted in sections of in
fected territory.
This study is typical Of the scien-
-tif1c Investigations which are being
carried out by the Public Health Ser
vice, all of which have a direct bear
ing on eradicating the disease. The
malaria work now includes the col

Boy Scouts of America

The first ''Boy Scouts in America
were not known by that name, but as
boy Pioneers" a society launched by
Daniel Carter Boards, the famous il
illustrator. In England the movement
had its inspiration in Ernest Thomp-
son Seton's ''Woodcraft Indians" The
Boy Scouts of England were organic
ed by Gen. Sir Robert Baden-PoweI
in 1908, but, as he himself has said,
he was ''only one of the uncles of
the organization, Mr.. Seton and Mr.
Beard sharing the honors of father
hood. The Boy Scouts, under that
name made a great appeal to English
youth, and w. D. Boyce, a Chicago
newspaper publisher, started society
in the Windy City. The Boy Scouts
of America, now the controlling body
of the movement on this side of the
Atlantic, was incorporated six years
ago today, Feb. 8, 1910, by E. M. Rob-
inson, and the eighth of February is
usually considered the birthday of the
American Scout organization. A few
months later William Randolph
Hearst started the American Boy
Scouts The National Scouts of Amer
lea, the United States Scouts, and
other societies, sprang up, but in the
course of time the Boy Scouts of
America became the leading factor in
the movement.

LORD ROTSCHILD, 4S
TO-DAY. ABANDONS
FINANCE FOR SCIENCE

Lionel Walter, the second Lord
RothschiId, will pass his fOrty-eighth
milestone today, having been born
Feb. 8, 1868, in London, the son of the
late Lord RothsciId, the first baron
and Emma, daughter of Baron
Charles of Frankfort-on-the-M Main,
Germany. The new Lord Rothsch1ld,
while he was lately admitted to mem
bership in the great banking house.
has little ability as a fnancier. This
fact was recognized by his rather,
who, in his will, bequeathed him only
$4,000 a year, leaving the bulk of
his property, including his share in
the banking firm, going to Lord
Rothschild's younger brother, Charles.
The famous Rothschild house in Pic
cadilly, London, and the magnificent
country estate in Hertfordshire, both
containing art treasures worth the
ransom of many kings, will also go to
the younger son on the death of his
mother. While this would seem to
indicate that Lord Rothschild, pere,
was not fond of his elder son, such
was not the case. The present Lord
Rothschild is immensely wealthy
through requests from other relatives,
and it was with his knowledge. and
approval that his father bequeathed
the major part of the estate to
Charles.
Lord RothschiId was educated at
Bonn and Cambridge, where he mani
tested great interest in scientific pur-
suits, but especially in zoology. At
ter leaving college he became an
officer in the Royal Bucks Yeomanry,
and in 1899 he entered Parliament
from the Aylesbury division of Bucks.
He also studied finance under his
father and .une1ess but manifested lit
tie ability in that line. In 1910 he
retired from the Commons and aban-
doned all other interests to devote his
entire time to scientific work. He IS a
trustee of the British Museum, the
author of several scientific works, and
the owner of one of the finest colIec-
lions of geological specimens, living
and dead, to be found anywhere in
private possession. In making young
er son the chief of the farnily's finan-
cia1 interests the late Lord Roths-
child did not establish a precedent, for
the dynasty of Jewish bankers have
often passed over the elder son in IA
vor of a younger better qualified to
add luster to the family name. The
house of Rothschi1d, alth ough inter
national in its scope, has not suffered
by the war, and the British branch of
the house has played an important
part in financing the Allies. Lord
Rothschi1d and his brother and I'M
cles are thoroughly British in their
sympathies, and no suspicion of lack
of patriotism has been directed against
them.

THE PROBLEMS OF
RETAIL TRADE, NO. 4.

The development of force of sales
people, capable of rendering intelli-
gent and competent service to the
public, is perhaps the biggest prob
lem the merchant has to deal with. 1t
exists just the same in g. store having
but one or two clerks as in the bigger
esta bIishment. Every one of these
concerns is a business school, in which
ship is proceeding. AS a result there
is no place where the public gets a
more Intelligent and helpful service
than in a town of the type of this.
To be a good clerk requires some-
thing more than ability to add up a
column of figures or quote prices. The
clerk must be intelligently informed
about the various lines of goods that
he is handling. He should read trade
papers and keep his eyes open in the
newspapers to get helpful information
about his line.
The intelligent clerk gives a de-
pendab1e impression as to what kinds
of goods are most durable and most
satisfactory. He can also tell what
kind of material is best suited to the
purchasers tsates, habits manner of
living and associations. A purchase
made with the aid of such Intelligence
is far more satisfactory. Gods that
just fit wear twice as long and are
cheap at any price.
In a town like this the force OF
saIespeopIe are of a permanent char
acter As few changes as possible are
made, and the better positions are pit
TO be filed by promotions from the
lower jobs in the same store. The
proprietors give personal attention to
the work of instructing clerks. This
builds up a force of people who are
capable of rendering a high degree of
intelligent service, and of helping GUS
toners make purchases that will be
permanently satisfactory
This is the kind of thing that the
customer. misses when he goes away to
buy in some distant city or sends to
mail order house. There is a lack OF
intelligent service, the sales forces
are less permanent less intelligent
about their goods, and they make no
particular effort to fit the purchase
to the customer.

AN ANONYMOUS ATTACK

The prohibitionists circulated anonymous dodg CT on election day in which referring to the argu ments of the local newspapers in opposition to the at tempt to prevent the Issuance of liquor licenses in Juneau appeared this sentence: "The proyerbal blind man has no difficulty in seeing the silver lining of these arguments"
 The Empire does not know who was responsible for this nasty stab from ambush but does that it was unbecoming any one pretending to be aborng in the interest of the public welfare moral upiift It was resort to small politics" such would not expect from any of the we'll known prohibition leaders of Juneau It was an attack such as The Empire could not permit in Its columns and maintain its setrespect.
 Men engaged in the saloon business furnish con siderabIy less than two per cent of the income of The Empire The money received from them in the course of year would not pay the operating expens es of the paper for week
 While The Empire believes that men engaged in the liquor traffic should receive the same consdera tion as other business men, not particle more or less. it's convictions the license question in Alaska have been arrived at without taking the interest of the saloon men Into consideration at all. and there has been thought of the amount of revenue the business produces for The Empire None know this better than the saloon men. who know that they have never been canvassed for business by The Empire. as other business houses have. and none know better than those who are usually regarded as the prohibition leaders in Juneau.

THE LICENSE PROBLEM

The trouble with the license situation Is in the law Gastineau Channel has Outgrown the law was a smpue matter when the total votes of any Of the communities numbered only few hundreds It is
 simple matter now in those communities which have not grown as have Juneau and Douglas to secure an expression from majority of the people. But in Ju- ueau and Douglas there probably $500 people that have right to express their preference. and to regis ter the names of these and get expression Of ma ority of all Of them no matter what the manner of procedure if done eQuitaby and fairly and in manner to satisfy reasonable court that it correctly done is not a small task.
 The magnitude Of the task is disclosed by the fact that more than 500 votes were cast in Juneau and Douglas by people who missed by the enum- erators and there is none who can question the in- ,egrty Of the men who did the registering
 The tairest way to ascertain the will of the peo- pie would be to have an election at which those who go to the polls would settle the matter. But that is not possible under the law. The law specifically says that majority of all the white American citi zens over the age Of 2l years in the community must give assent to the issuance Of licenses. and the as sent must be by affirmative act and not through silence Further. the law places the burden upon the saloon men to make this showing
