short visit to the Red Cross stations
where she had served. Miss Samek
made a flight from LONDON to Paris

air as one which made her feel utter
contempt for the earth and everything
on it. Miss Samek was met at the pier
by Collector Bill Edwards, who bade
her bon voyage recently when she left
New York for France.
Another traveller on La Savoie was
Countess de Turenne, who is on her

of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research who had been on scientific
trip through Mexico and Peru to study
the sources of yellow-fever infection
particularly through the medium OF
water supply The scientists said that
it could now be definitely stated that
there is but one yellow fever germ and
that the disease has the same origin
wherever found.
Both doctors treated yellow-f fevel
patients in Peru with a serum pro
duced from horses and said it was 81
satisfactory that it probably would b.
used extensively in combating epi
denies.
Peru Purifying Water
The poor water supply in northern
Peru" said DR.. Kligler. sis the prin
cipal source OF infection, which ha
persisted for the last few years in th'
district. In the city of Plea the waite
Is pumped seven miles from mudd,
river and sold to the inhabitants at tn
rate of 20 cents a barrel. The peopl
did not take kindly to our efforts t.
eliminate the germ-laden water, bu
we received every assistance from tn
Peruvian government.
"ln its desire to purify it's water sup
ply and establish a sanitary sewerag
system the Peruvian government ha
awarded to the foundation company o
New York contracts for installing sani
tary sources of water supply and sew
erage systems for thirty-one Peruvia
cities.
These contracts, however, must b
acceptable to Dr. Henry Hansen an
General Henry R. Carter, formerly Q

tary Department of Peru"
