HEALTH OFFICER

Clean Up Debris, Fill All De-
pressions, Use Fine-Mesh
Screens, Says Fowler.

Residents Of Anacostia are rails
ing a howl about the vicious mos
quitoes that are tormenting them,
and they are justified i'm their
kick" according to DR.. William
c. Fowler, health officer of the
District. But he added that they
can do much toward eliminating
the pestiferous insect from their
midst II they will take some timely
hints.
DR.. Fowler is of the opinion that
the marshes and swamps in that
section, are the breeding places for
mosquitoes and he has no jurisdic-
ton over that territory. That is
Uncle Sans own property and re-
strictive measures must be made
by him.
There is no doubt that the
marshes on the eastern branch Of
the Potomac are breeding places
for the insect, and by the use Of
kerosene or crude oil the pest could
be greatly eliminated" Fowler said.
THE removal Of old weeds and
debris and depressions in which
water may remain stagnant for
some time would be of great help.
Even the depression left in a tree
trunk when a branch is blown off
will serve as a breeding place for
the pest. Wire screens having
twenty meshes to the square inch
should be placed in all windows Of
the house.
ut will be well for people living
in homes where the cave cutters
or other parts of the roofs have
become depressed to pour kerosene
or crude oil in the depressions. SO
long as water remains in the hol.
lows SO long will the mosquitoes
have an opportunity to breed"

This question will take first

point. r. ~ ...
1t is recognized that Washington

'for the past four years. Regard
less of action taken by the budget
bureau, Congress will insist upon
making a liberal provision for the
rehabilitation Of the District streets
at the coming regular session.
The appropriation subcommittee
just now have division of opinion
as to whether the main emphasis
In the coming supply bill for the
District should be placed upon
street improvements or the school
program. A comprehensive report
upon the needs of the District

SAYS COLD WILL
Save GERMANY
Payment in Precious Metal for Ex-
ports Can Save Mark From
Collapse, Meyercord Claims.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Payment in
gold for German exports is the
only thing that will prevent . total
collapse of the German mark and
is the only cure for Europe's ills,
according to George r. Meyercord.
chairman of the foreign relations
committee of the Illinois Manufac-
turers' association.
Mr.. Meyercord is to take up the
matter of gold payments with the
American committee Of the Inter
national Chamber of Commerce.
t'Gold is nothing but commodity
and any buyer in America or Eng
land can go to a bank and obtain
gold, the actual physical metal" he
said, land deliver that in exchange
for certain merchandise bought in
Germany. Germany's exports must
be several hundred million dollars
a month and she could therefore
get several hundred million dollars
worth Of actual gold into her pos
session in exchange for her prod
ucts. To say this cannot be done is
perfectly nonsense. If the en-
ployer receives gold he can pay
his workmen in gold II the Ger
man industrialists will make it their
business to see that the prices are
not below the proper world stand
ard on a gold bnsis, Germany will
become solvent instantaneously."

ADORE ISLANDS ARE
HIT BY HARD TIMES

Lisbon.-Living conditions in the
Azore islands are very bad, and the
outlook for the, islanders is most
gloomy, according to Jose Rebello
de Bettencourt, a journalist OF the
islands. who has recently come to
Lisbon.
The chief cause of the trouble is
that foreign ships have virtually
given up putting into the island
ports for repair and supplies. Days
and Fayal, and no ship shows up.
and Fayal, and no ship shows US.
And things ashore are going from
bad to worse. The ships do not
come principally because the local
authorities have succumbed to the
temptation of profiteering. Meat
has been. and is sold today, to res
idents at one escudo a kilogram
But the town hall authorities have
a monopoly in the sale of this com
! modify. and they have fixed the
price to foreign ships at 20 escudos
a kilogram. American and other
captains have been instructed BY
the owners not to replenish at the
Azores unless compelled to do so
and furthermore, these vessels now
carry larger supplies of preserved
meats. Hence they give the Azores
! a wide berth.
The cost Of living in the islands
has advanced greatly. The regula.
ton against the export of cattle
has brought cattle breeders to pow.
erty, and many farm tenants have
been compelled to relinquish thei,
!. holdings to the owners.
