Ex.soLDIER GETS
PENSION AND INSURANCE

Through more Than two years of un-
winding of official red tape and other
efforts the Red Cross of Waco, Tex,
has obtained compensation for per-
manent total disability and goverR-
ment insurance for veteran OF the
World War. This soldier WAS wounded
In peculiar way. A piece of shrapnel
which tore away the muscles of his
back and injured his verlebrae also ex-
ploded his cartridge belt, thus intlicting
an additional injury which required
many operations and more than u year
In the hospital, most of the time lying
ON his face.
The operations were not successful,
the shock and other contributing causes
caused heart trouble, all of Which have
made him n permanent invalid.
Through an error in his record, this
soldier has been allotted only S2I II
month and 1t required more than two
years to correct the error and obtain
for the man the compensation which
was his due, as well us to ootain for
him and his aged mother the insurance
which also was coming to him.

REQ CROSS joins IN
MOSQUITO CAMPAIGN
Two Texas Communities Are Rid Of
Malaria After Years Work.

Two communities In the Southwest.
ern Division infected with malaria
have been rid of this pest in tie
last two years by the work Of the
American Red Cross, according to
statements made by citizens of these
communities. One of these sections
is around Calvert and Hearne. Tex,
where the Robertson County Chapter
of the American Red Cross and the
local health authorities worked hand
finland to rid the district of the
malaria-spreading mosquito.
According to the official report of
the work done In this district. the ini-
tial step In the campaign was the
draining of NIL pools, ponds and depres.
sions retaining stagnant water. This
was done the first year. 1t required
the opening of original bitches and
other semi-engineerlng feats. Water
Impossible to drain was treated with
crude oil at intervals during the sum
mer of 1921 and bodies Of water SO
located as to be too expensive for
draining -or. oiling were stocked with
Gambusia Mlnnows. a local product
found In prolific quantities in that
section, which is deadly enemy of
the mosquito larvae.
Inspectors were employed and peri
odically visits were made In house

looked particularly to rain water, ac-
cumulations In open cans and other
vessels, cutters. etc, and an oller nc.
companled the inspectors, olllng nil
these waters. Particular attention
was paid to old wells, cisterns and WITS
OF various kinds. The results have
been most gratifying, it Is reported,
and the mosquitoes are almost com
pletely ernd!cated from the locality
A similar campaign In Cherokee
County, Tex, had a similar result
During the early fall of 1927 n naln-
rial survey of the county was made by
the American Red Cross Chapter. A
report was compiled and charts made
showing the exact percentage Of
malafial infection In each school dis
trict. These findings Were taken us a
basis for the work, which has been ex-
tensive since its beginning. Two sani-
