NEW RULES. FOR FIREMEN
WILL BE SCRUTINIZED
Commissioner Oyster to Consider
Complaints Which Allege the
Regulations Impose Hardships.

The new rules governing the con-
duct of members of the fire depart
ment will be carefully studied by
Commissioner James F. Oyster to de-
determine whether any of them are
too stringent.
The regulations have been much
discussed in the citizens associations
before and since their adoption on
March l. and several of these organf-
cations have taken the position that
certain sections place undue nard-
ships upon the. men.
The matter has been brought to the
attention of Commissioner Oyster,
who supervises the fire department,
by a letter from Thomas Donovan.
president of the Central Citizens AS
sociation.
The Commissioner said he has not
had an opportunity to go into the rules
since he took office. but will do so when
the pressure of work permits.
the fire department was efficiently
operated under the old regulations
and that there is much discomfort
among the firemen over number OF
the requirements of the new code.
One of the requirements which
Donovan objected to is that forbld-
ding the men to smoke in the ap-
paratus room of houses. IN which
motor engines are used.
The rule which has been most wide
ly discussed is that requiring the
men to be in full uniform IL TIE

URGES VIGOROUS ACTION
ON POLICE ASSAILANTS
Wayne B. Wheeler Says Attack
on Bladensburg Road Is Chal-
1enge to Law-Abiders.

1.-The murderous assault Tuesday night
on Federal Enforcement Agent Steph-
enson and Police Officer Murphy is a
challenge to every law-abiding citi-
zcn, declared Wayne B. Wheeler,
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League. in a statement issued yesterday
Wheeler referred to the attack. last
night on Bladensburg road. when
revenue officers were assaulted by
all"@ed bootleggers
These officers were doing their
duty in apprchending violators of the
law. If such officers do not have the
support of the public and other off,
cials lawlcssness will run riot along
all lines.
Many of these rum runners are en-
couraged in their lawlessness by the
:ong delays after the arrest before the
trials take place, and in the light fines
that are imposed in many cases.
IF the United States district attor-
ney will use all the provisions of the
federal law in securing speedy trial
and the court will infiict adequate
penalties there will be fewer outrages
like those committed here and else
where Within the last few months.
The situation calls for prompt and Wig
orous action on the part of public Of
hclals and all law-abiding citizens"

THE CONSTANT PLAGUE

Great excitement and activity is caused ever so often by the announcement of an outbreak of bubonic plague, cholera or ty- phus fever in one of our sea- ports. A few lives are lost and the excitement quiets down but the authorities are constantly on the alert.
 Another disease that does hun dreds of times as much damage and havoc in the low areas of the Southwestern States and in the Southern half of the United States is Malaria.
 It may be termed the "con- stant tiGgue" for it is always present. It does not cause direct ly a great many deaths but in- directly it contributes annually tt many thousands of fatalities, and each case of illness causes gre. loss of labor and efficiency besides being afr' expense to the patient. It is likwise the great est cause industrial inefficient cy.~
 If you don't want malaria don't let a mosquito bite you. Malaria is contracted only through the bite of d mosquito, the "Anophe7 les"
 Man infects the mosquito and in turn the mosquito infects the man. Malaria is due to a germ which lies in the blood cells of the human body.
 It is so small that it requires a very powerful microscope to see it.
 The malaria mosquito does most of it's biting at dusk or twi- light, less frequently during the darlSnuess and it is necessary to keep the house thoroguhly screened. As these mosQuitos breed by depositing eg- in standing water, all such pools. should be drained if possible, O, if not, small amount of Rek.J sene oil should be poured on the surface to destroy the larvae. A certain type minnow placed in the water will eat the mosquito eggs.
