GORGAS' WARNING RECALLED
In Former Days Time Of TransIt
Across Atlantic Was Long Enough
to Allow all Cases Of Fever on
Board to Kill or Cure.

Panama--The two Portuguese avia-
Africa to South America brings to
mind a prophetic warning Of the late
General Gorgas. This was 10 the
effect that when quick transportation
between tropical Africa and tropical
America should develop, as It eventu-
ally would, 1t would greatly increase
the danger Of the spread of yellow
fever TO the Eastern Hemisphere as
long as the disease remained in South
America, especially In Brazil.
Days Of the Slave Trade.
The reason why yellow fever did not
spread from America to Africa in the
days of the slave trade. as malaria
did spread from Africa to America
then, Illqtrates beautifully an impor-
Iani difference between the two great
tropical plaques, as well as gives point
and %pertinence to General Gorgas'
warning. Yellow fever kills or cures
in a very short TIME; malaria may
linger In the system for a very long
time. In former days the time of
transit across the Atlantic was long

fever on board a ship to die or to re-
cover before the voyage ended. Re
covery conferred immunity on the for
tunate, and II a mosquito should bite
them after they reached Africa they
found no germs in them to transmit
to others, SO 1t required a very quick
transit to get he infection across. 1t
is not yet positively certain that yell
low fever ever did cross the ocean.
General Gorgas was on mis- way to the
west coast OF Africa to settle this
question definitely when he dIes =

An Important Differences.
But malaria, which Gems tn have
originated In Africa, does net confer
immunity upon those who recover
from an attack. The germs may sur
vive in the system OF the sufferer for
months, or even for years, in. a more
or less dormant state, even II acute
attacks do not again develop, and
these germs may infect the anopheles
or Misunderstanding mosquitoes, and
SO enable them to infect others. In
this way the African slaves brought
malaria to America with them, but the
slave traders did not carry; back vel

for the cause in which he was
the leader, he pledged that it was
to make the world safe for
democracy and to make this ca
warless world.' All others made
the same pledge in halls Of legis-
lation and in forum and in the
pulpit. It was the desire to save
unborn generations that nerved
and strengthened the youths who
gave their lives in France. The
thought that by the supreme sa-
crifice they could bring that Peace
to the world gave glory to the
last hours Of the brave lads who

all they hoped to be.
The solemn duty Of America to
"keep faith with the dead' was

was a memorial to the soldiers

 "Yes. but so different from you" Mrs. Civet-Cat answered.

 There Is the Suricate or Slender Tailed Meerkat of South Africa, too.
 But they aren't as interesting as we are. No, not they. We have simple names. Folks know we belong to the great cat family. and civet cats are becoming more and more known.

 "They say that when our fur be- comes damp or when they wear us out in the wet weather we're espe- cially generous with our family per fume but they're not in the least ap- preciative. They are very lacking in thankfulness.
 "Still, they do us the honor to wear us as family and treat us as they would fox or seal or something noble and fine and beautiful like that.
 And if we give them of our per fuine we give it without extra charge so even if they don't appreciate 1t they ought to be glad we don't charge them for it."
