Realty Goes 70 Widow.
Mrs. Murpbys design to honor her
husband became known in part yes
terday after her attorney, Andrew J.
RYAN, had filed with Assistant Probate
Judge l. F. Daukowski, Mrs Murphy's
petition to be appointed administrative
Of DR.. Mprphy's estate
The petition shows that at DR.. Muir
phys death on Aug. II his widow au-
tomatically became sole owner of all
the real estate in which he possessed
an interest
This realty. worth more than $1,000
600, was owned by Dir. and Mrs. Muir
ply in joint tenancy.
The remainder Of DIT. Murphys pos
sessions. his attorney, andrew J. Ryan.
said yesterday. consisted OF approx
mately S2500G0 in personal property.
Since DR. Murphy left no Will, the per
sOnaI property is inherited by the
widow and the children.
Personally Is Divided.
According to law Mrs. Murphy will
receive three-uinths of the worth of
the personally and two-ninths will go
to each of DR. Murphy's three chill
dren-Nrs CeciIle NJ. Benedict. Miss
Mildred L. Murphy and Miss Celeste
Murphy. Miss Celeste Murphy mas just
passed her 18th birthday and is now OF
legal age. Mrs. Benedict is the wife Of
J. T. Benedict, secretary and general
manager of the A. Plamondon Manu-
featuring company.
Although 81 per cent Of Or. Muir
phys work was done for charity, he
laid the foundation of his fortune by
his professional work. He bought
much Chicago real estate because he
had confidence in Chicago land values.

HOW THE GOVERNMENT Is
MEETING 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 1926 blood
specimens examined by the Govern
ment officers during the year, 1877
showed malarial infection. The in
fection rate among white persons was
above eight per cent, and among COL
ored persons twenty per cent. In two
counties in the Yazoo Valley, 40 out
of every 100 inhabitants presented
evidence 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 sur
veys of the Public Health Service at
"a places in nearly every state of the
South. In some instances from an
incidence 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
1000 Anopheline mosquitoes in NAL
arious districts were dissected, during
the early pring months, without find
ing single infected insect, and not
until May Is, 1915, was the first para
site in the body of mosquito dis
covered. The Public Health Service
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 malaria
may be secured by treating human
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.

Strange Indian Village Perched High
Up In the Air.
Perched on the top Of a great rock In
the neighborhood Of 300 feet high
stands Acoma. in New Mexico, in some
respects the strangest village in this
country. Acoma Is an Indian settle
ment Of some GOO people and means
the people of the rock" Though the
founding of the village is lost In the
mist of antiquity. it is supposed the
Acoma Indians chose this site as
measure Of safety against the warlike
Apaches and Navajos Of their day.
Their selection was made with ad'
mirable judgment, for the walls Of the
rock are almost perpendicular.
The earliest Spanish explorers found
the tribe settled securely in their ,natu-
raj fortalice. Acoma has remained de
lightfully untouched by the influences
Of Spanish and American civilization.
These Indians are quite we'll to do in
sheep and cattle. which are pastured
on the grazing lands Of the valley,
where summer villages are located and
where the minimum Of effort Is re.
qui1ed to care for the focks and herds.
Although less than twenty miles from
a railroad the village Is comparatively
unknown.
The natives do not care for curious
visitors. They do not wish to be stared
at and photographed. Nevertheless.
the irrepressible tourist with his cam.
era occasionally scales the sleeps that
baffled the Navajo. Nowadays 1t is no
longer practicable to suppress him with
tomahawk, so the Acoma are philo.
sophically making the best Of bad
job by collecting 50 day for camera
license. The gray adobe village peers
from its eyrie over miles Of gray plain

broken only by the sheer outlines Of
buttes and mesas.-Argonaut.
The Glasgow courier., 1916-02-18

Although quinine remains the best
means of treating malaria and is also
of marked benefit in preventing in
fection, the eradication of the disease
as a whole rests upon the destruction
of the brooding places of Anopheline
mosquitoes. The Public Health Sur
vice, therefore, is urging a definite
campaign of draining standing water,
the filling of low places, and the re-
grading and training of streams
where malarial 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
measures as part of the education
al campaigns conducted in sections
of infected territory.
This study is typical of the scienti-
fic Investigations which are being car
ried out by the Public Health Service,
all of which have a direct bearing on
eradicating the disease. The malaria
work now includes the collection of
morbidity data, malariasurvys, dem
onstration work, scientific field and
laboratory studies, educational cam
paigns, and special studies of i'm
pounded water and drainage projects.
