Parasite Spreads Disease.

A peculiar disease that is still con-
fined chiefly to certain river valleys of
japan, but suggests possibilities Of
breaking loose as widespread cpl
deinic, has been a subject of recent In
vestigatlon. 1t Is known as "tsut-
sugamushi," and Is transmitted by the
"akamushi," an insect parasite Of GER
tain field mice. It is n fever striking
ly similar to typhus and Rocky mount
ain spotted fevers. The investigators
have learned that its chief occurrence
Is in the months Of June to October
which Is the time of development of
the insect carriers, and the season
when the peasant victims of the dis
ease are brought into contact with
the mice. The mortality, though very
variable, sometimes exceeds so per
cent. Under existing conditions, bites
by the insects cannot be wholly
avoided, and cutting out the bitten
part does not prevent the spread Of
the virus, while such remedies as
Iodine, mercury arsenic, quinine and
dyes have proven ineffective. The
only hope Of stamping out the disease
seems to rest In the determination of
the field mice. rs

MAKE SKiLLFUL AUTO DRIVERS

81 1t is natural that since automobiles
have found their way into every part
OF the world, the drivers would vary
In appearance, and In attire or lack Of
attire, according to the customs of the
countries In which the motor ear IS
called to do Service. If you we're TO.
walk along the road leading from the
west coast Of equatorial Africa several
hundred miles into the, interior, for
Instance, YOU might see a motor truck,
plowing through the jungle, and in
the ehauffeur's seat, driving with pc
cullar and cheerful abandon, would be
ia west African native. And from the
appearance of his drivers uniform, It
would be evident that the high cost
Of clothing would bother him not one
whit. These natives become full
fledged chauffeurs within three or four
weeks from the time they see their
first motor vehicle. The trucks, of
which there are about 200, maintain
regular schedules as feeders to a large
steamship line plying between west

NO BONUS LEGISLATION
mo Action to Be Taken by Senate
Before Recess.

Washington, June 1.--Perhaps no
soldiers bonus Legislation at all, and
certainly none before the recess that
Congress will take in few days from
now. That was the verdict of Senate
leaders yesterday following delivery
of the House bonus bill to the upper
chamber and the formality of refer
ring it to the Committee on Finance
Further, it was agreed that the
measure that emerges from the FL
nance Crmmittee-if one energies
win not be the House bill. The tax
features Of the House measure will be
eliminated, according to the present
Senate purpose, and many other i'm
portant changes will be insisted upon.
I The majority by which the House
passed the measure gave the Senate a
distinct shock, for it increases the diff
ficulty in the Senate OF sidetracking
I or defeating it. Nevertheless, while
| there is much resentment in the Sen
ate against what many members char
acterize as the weakness of the House
the determination to prevent the leg
islaticn has not apparently lost any
force. The Senate takes a very seri-
Gus view of the financial condition Of
the country and of the opposition to
further increases of public burdens.
/ Moreover the political situation is
leased by reason Of the fact that Presi
dent Wilson has taken position that
makes a political issue on the subject
impossible. In letter to Secretary
Iof the Treasury Houston and in anoth
er to Senator Glass the President has
, allied himself with those opposing the
, bonus measure. These expressions
i have been such as to make partisan
. issue impossible, and therefore both
, Republicans and Democrats are the
, more disposed to find means to shunt
off the measure until after election.
