Of the American Red Cross and thN
local health authorities worked hand.
in-hand to rid the district of the
malaria-spreading mosquito.
According to the official report Of
the work done In this district. the inl-
fial step in the campaign was the
draining of all pools. ponds and depres-
sions retaining stagnant water. This
WAS done the first year. II required
the opening Of original bitches and
other seini-engineering feats. Water
impossible to drain was treated with
crude oil at intervals during the sum-
iner of 1921 and bodies Of water so
located as to be too expensive for
draining or oiling were stocked Will,
Ganbusia Minnows. local product
found in prolific quantities In that
section, which Is Il deadly enemy Of
the mosquito larvae.
Inspectors were employed and peri.
odically visits were made In n house

looked particularly to rain water, nc

these waters. Particular attention
was paid to old wells, cisterns and watts
of various kinds. The results have
been most gratifying, 1t is reported,
and the mosquitoes are almost com.

Some fishermen were out In North

Human Frailty i'm
Composers Portrait

Modesto MoUssoRGsKY.
whose Song OF a Flea" Cha
liapin has once more brought into
prominence, was one OF the most
extraordinary characters in music.
Like so many OF his contempora-
ries in Russia. he began as an anna
teur, while on military service. He
gave this up in the hope OF a live
lihood as a composer. Poverty,
failure. ill-health. designations
these transformed him in a few
years from clean.cut military
man to a physical wreck.
nya Repin's portrait Of him has
been called one Of the most out
rageous exposures of a human
soul in tho history OF art" But
he has profoundly influenced Rus.
sian music. II IL is possible for
music to reveal anything but emo
tional truth, that Of Moussorgsky,
at its best, must rank with the
highest. Russian life under tho old
regime. with it's antagonistic social
forces, can be heard crying in
every note OF 1t. His satires upon
the potsntstes and officials Of old
Russia have no equal, perhaps In
bitterness. or in humor.

Folk Tunes Are Aid
To Composers Art

II. COLES in The chesterian.
London. says that when r.
Vaughan Williams Norfolk
Rhapsody" was produced in 1906
he accused him of Sinking" the
writing Of his own tunes. But
the Norfolk Rhapsodies" were
presently followed by I'm the Fen
Country" which did not reproduce
folk k-songs but made new tunes Of
the stuff OF folk-songs.
Vaughan. Williams had found out
through folk songs how to say the
thing he wanted TO say. He had
been almost inarticulate in his stu.
dent days. simply because music
as he had learned it, the nineteenth
century music Of Wagner and
Brahms, offered hlmno vocabu-
larry.
1t was not until he had found out
English folk.song, collected it, ar
ranged it. sung it, lived in it. that
ii gave him the secret of its Ian
guage.
He always regarded 1t as some
thing to be used, never as a md-
scum specimen to be looked at un.
der a glass case. He went eagerly
to every kind OF music which had
any clear point of contact with it.
from the plain song of the church
to the motets of Tails and Byrd
and the Elizabethan madrigals.
On them he founded a musical
speech of his own.
