To Rid Ecuador
of Yellow Fever

ton against such universal plaques
as yellow fever, hookworm, malaria,
bubonic plague and tuberculosis has
already begun to revolutionize condi-
lions in some Of the countries in
which the work is being carried on.
Vitality Is Increased.
For example, the reduction of the
incidence of the hookworm in Porto
Rico and Panama has resulted In an
increase of the vitality of the popula-
ton and stimulated industrial activity
to degree that has been clearly re-
Elected in increased business activity.
The foundation has employed the
most eminent experts in the world for
its work. General Gorgas is perhaps
the most prominent of them all, hav-
ing eradicated yellow fever from
Cuba, made sanitation for Panama a
model for the world, and carried the
medical and surgical work of the
United States army to degree of eff
ficiency never known in any army of
the world before, during the war.
The west coast of South America
has been severely handicapped in its
shipping and commercial business by
the existence of centers of yellow fe-
yer infection in a number of places,
especially at Buenaventura, the Pa
cific port of Colombia, and Guayaquil,
the commercial metropolis and port of
Ecuador. A rigid quarantine has had
to be maintained at Panama against
all these ports of western South
America, resulting in much delay to
passengers who have to be held in
quarantine at Panama until known to

The Ecuadorian government has be-

matter, in view Of the hopes of COM

BLACK MARIA" IS DISPLACED

Criminals.

New York.-After almost half a cen
tury of transporting persons convicted
of crime from the Tombs and other
places of detention to railroad stations
to start on their journey to prisons, the
famous BLACK Maria" wagon has been
discarded in favor of automobiles. The
two horses that have drawn the an
Client conveyance for many years have
been pensioned by Sheriff Knott and
sent to pasture for the rest of their
days.
The "Black Maria" made its first APP
oearance 4B years ago. An investiga-
ton by the sheriff recently found that
the vehicle had disintegrated to such
an extent as to make further travel IN
1t unsafe, even for criminals.

be free from infection; while cargoes
have frequently had to be fumigated
against mosquitoes and rats, with
much loss of time and money and oc-
casional damage to the cargo.
Two Difficulties Overcome.
Two difficulties have been in the
way of eradicating these diseases
from these ports. One has been the
financial expenses, which would be a
heavy charge upon the governments
of the countries Involved and the
relative failure of the people at large
to appreciate the necessity of i'm
proved sanitation.
The Rockefeller foundation is help
ing to solve the first of these difficult
ties, and is indirectly also promoting
the spread of information among the
people so as to reduce the indifference
on the subject. The healthfulness OF
the Isthmus of Panama has been q
good advertisement for sanitation to
South American travellers.
One of the main difficulties in
arousing public sentiment to demand
the thoroughgoing elimination of en-
demic diseases has been the fact that
the population of the ports involved
have become more or less immune
through the operation of the natural
method of immunization produced by
the disease.
But the constant arrival at these
ports of nonimmune persons from the
interior or from other countries keeps
the infection alive as long as the mos.
quitoes which convey the disease are
in these ports. There is nearly al
ways a sufficient number of cases Of
yellow fever in existence to infect
these mosquitoes. and when new arr.
walls are bitten they are likely to de-
velop the fever, and so to keep the
epidemic going from one new arrival
to another The only safe way to get
rid of the fever therefore. is to get
rid of the mosquitoes.

Shortly after the wedding

morning was she returned to the
