Who would have thought that the
tin can is a menace to the public
health2 The expert malaria inyestl-
gators Of the Z. S. Public Health
Service have found, however, that
discarded tin cans containing rain
water are breeding places for the
mosquito which is the sole agent IN
spreading malaria. A hole in the
bottom of the empty can might have
resulted in the saving of human
life. Certainly it would have as
sisted in preventing facilitating ill
ness. Empty tin cans have no bust
ness about the premises, anyway, but
if we must so decorate our back yards,
let's see to it that the can has hole
in the bottom.

The racing boat has been developed

has been obtained. OF course boats
that can make this speed are good for
little else. but these racing boats can
be OF use as despatch boats In har-

Now the British coast Is patrolled
by a feet OF motor boats. These boats
are Of many sizes and speeds and
fhey have been supplemented by a
thousand high speed boats which were
quilt on this side OF the Atlantic and
shipped across on steamers. 1t Is

controlled. While the submarine Is
dreaded by all merchantmen it in turn
breads the high speed motor patrol.

could see by means Of the periscope
three speed boats rushing at him
