FIGHT MALARIA WITHOUT MAJOR
 DRAINAGE PLAN
Rockefeller Foundation Ex. perts Working in Arkan-
 sas and Mississippi.

! New York, Aug. 18.-Experiments to determine to what extent malaria may be controlled in temperate eli mates under conditions now existing in the farming sections of the South ern states, are being conducted in Mississippi and Arkansas by the in- ternational health board of the Rocke- feller foundation, it was announced tonight.
 Determination of mosquitoes by major drainage operations is not part of the plan, it was stated
 "The first of these experiments to test the practicability of malaria con- trol by detecting the carriers and freeing them of parasites, is being carried on in Bolivar county, Miss. under the direction of the Mississippi department of health," the announce ment says.
 "The field force and miscroscopists have been receiving their technica training at Tulane university medica school To test the practicability oi control by combination of relie1 measures, another set of experiments is being conducted in Arkansas ir cooperation with United States public health service. In neither case will the experiments include the extermi nation of mosquitoes by major drain age operations.
 Although the control of malaria k relatively simple in theory as a prac tical undertaking it has been fount extremely difficult. The present eX periments will determine future de velopments of the boards work il this field"

ELECTION RESULT UNCHANGED.
School Board Finds Error Was in
- Omission Of Names.

A recheck Of the ballots of the
school election Monday, made by the
board Tuesday afternoon. developed to
the boards satisfaction that the dis
crepancy Of nine between the number
Of voters and the vote cast on the tax
levy was caused by all OF the names OF
voters not being copied into the cleo
ton record book. 1t is believed that
the difference of nine more votes than
voters recorded was because the names
OF few of the voters were not taken
and recorded.

Portland Celebrates.


Portland, Ore. = New Years eve
jewellers began early to make the most
of their final opportunity to buy liquor
in the restaurants and saloons of Port
land. Grills were crowded as early as
o'clock and from that hour on merri-
ment and hilarity reigned.
Some saloons ran entirely out Of
stock early in the evening and closed
their doors. Others which had only
one or two brands of liquor left kept
open and served it out Unfortunately
to all customers, regardless Of what
drink was ordered. Saloonkeepers and
bartenders preserved cheerful front
generally and Joined with customers
in the festivities. In the grills much
wine was consumed, Notwithstanding
previous announcement that stocks
were low.
Booze stopped abruptly at midnight,
but the owl car went right on just the
same. "Is the closing Of the saloons
going to affect receipts appreciably?
was asked.
"We think not" replied streetcar
official. "There is certain quota Of
Portland's population that works
nights. This number is not going to be
reduced to any perceptible extent"
