Other New Officers
Will Take Charge
at First January
Meeting.

Ed Gale Quina was elected commo-
dore of the Pensacola Yacht Club at
the annual election of officers held at
the floating club house on Bayou Chico
last night In the face Of practically
unanimous support for reelection, DIR.
Clarence z. Hutchinson, commodore

staunch refusal to offer himself as
2. candidate-for denomination.
Although not in any official capac-
ftv. DR.. Hutchinson will contiue to
take an active part in the clubs af-
fairs. Much of the success of the club
during the past year is attributed to
his tireless efforts. He was especially
active in helping to secure the steam
er General Wilson as a home for the
yachtmen, and following the election
the membership voted unanimously to
rename the boat the Commodore
Hutchinson" in honor of the retiring
commodore.
Mr.. Quina, who succeeds DR.. Hutch
inson, is a popular member of the club.
He has served as auditor for some
time.
Rox Cowley was elected vice-com-
modore: Frank E. Welles, rear-com-
modore; Dan Sheppard fleet captain,
and w. C. Frederic reelected secre-
tary- treasurer. The new officers take
charge at the first meeting in January.

STORMS AWAIT
SHIPPING BILL
IN THE SENATE
Main Fight Will Gen.
ter on Amendment
Providing Annual
Appropriation.
CRv Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. o-SIorInS
awaiting the administration shipping
bill in the senate were foreshadowet
during initial consideration OF the
measure today by the senate com
merce committee.
The storm center in the committee
was the Madden amendment attachec
by the house making the shipping ale
fund subject to annual appropriations
by congress. Advocates or Inc Dill a.
proposed by the administration an
nounced at the outset they were de-
termined to eliminate the amendment
and in support of their stand Chalrhan
Jones presented a letter from Presi-
dent Harding in which the executive
declared he would rather the measure
should fail entirely than TO nave one
enacted which will bring to US extreme
disappointment because we nave en-
tered upon a program in half-heart-
ed and rather Indifferent way.
Elimination of the amendment was
Immediately opposed by group OF
republican committee members COM
posed of Senators McNary, OF oregon,
T,enroot of Wisconsin, and Willis, OF
Ohio, who announced their intention
of fighting in the committee and in
the senate for some provision giving
congress a measure of control over a
fund from which shipping companies
may be extended loans amounting an
nually to as much as thirty million
dollars.
Consideration Deferred.
Discussion ranged about this ques-
ton throughout two sessions held by
the committee and finally the matter
was put over until after the committee
had concluded its consideration of
other sections of the bill. Late in the
day, the McNary- Lenroot-Willis group
put forwar da compromise under which
the approval of congress would be
required only for any increase over the
amount of government aid fixed in the
original contract entered into between
the shipping board and the private
companies. This compromise received
scant favor from Chairman Jones. who
announced tonight that he stood I'M
oualifiedly with the president. .
Some consideration was given by the
committee today to the section of the
bill establishing a construction loan
fund amounting to not more than
S125, 0GO. 900 from which loans for con-
struction purposes are to be made to
shipping companies with interest at
4 IA per cent, but little progress was
made. In fact progress upon the entire
measure was so slow today that COM
mittee members would not venture a
prediction when the bill would be pre-
scented to the waiting senate. Sup
porters of the bill had expected that
only a day or two would be needed
for committee consideration but to-
night it appeared probable the legis-
lation would not reach the senate be-
fore next week.

Next World War Will
Be Against Insects,
Says State Health
Officer.
(By Associated Pressl

/ Wy %ASSOcldISu TTSSS)
| DAYTONA, Dc. 6.-Forma ton Of {
permanent association to combat the
mosquito in Florida will end the two
] day mosquito eradication conference
| being held here on call of the state
board of health tomorrow morning.
| The organization, composed of del
| egates from the state board of health
sanitary engineers, city managers,
city commissioners and representa-
tives Of civic organizations, will be
recommended in the report of the
committee on procedure and legisla-
ton.
One hundred and fifty delegates
assembled here this morning, the
number far exceeding advance ex-
pectations, and laid the groundwork
for continuous fight against the
mosquito through education of the
public in concerted methods of Grad
icating the pest.
Addresses We're made by DR.. Ralph
N. Green, Jacksonville; George w.
Simon, Jr., State sanitary engineer;
Wilbur F. Weldon, New Brunswick,
N. j.; George F. Monsetta, Miami; H.
H. Wagenthals, Atlanta, of the United
States public health service, and Col.
r. c. Turck, state health officer.
Next World War.
""The next world war will be that
waged with the insects destructive to
human life. The result will be in
doubt If the nation continues its
apathetic policy toward fleas, mosqui-
tos, flies, the boil weevil, gypsy moth
and other destructive insects DR..
Turck declared
FLORIDA can be made a health para
disc if a goal is established and all
work toward it," Col Turck said. He
related the story of the state board of
heaIth's experiment town, Brewster,
where malaria, infant mortality, hook
worm and ailments due to mosquito
infection were driven out by proper
control work.
DIR. Green, superintendent Of st.
Luke's hospital at Jacksonville. called
attention to the devastation wrought
years ago by yellow fever in Flori-
da's lost towns''-five cities, the
sites of which alone remain as a mute
reminder of havoc that has been and
can be wrought by the mosquito.
Publicity First Remedy.
DR.. Green declared that publicity
is the first remedy for the present
situation. This publicity must come
from the press which should not hest
tate in telling exactly what health
conditions prevail. Women's clubs,
whose interest in the mosquito cam
paign is vital, are another group that
must carry the gospel of a mosquito
less state to every communitv.''
Mr.. Simons briefly detailed the
achievements of the state board of
health in battling the mosquito and
Wilbur F. Weldon, the
New Jersey entomologist, whose life
work has been devoted to the study
of the mosquito and no VITO combat it.
Mr.. Weldon presented charts showing
the influence on the resort districts
and the increased property valuations |
resulting from determined fight
on the Punishment of the
insect.
Mr.. Moznette declared land crab |
holes are the most prolific breeding |
places for mosquitoes in Florida. The !
mango swamps. he said, cannot be !
declared safe until they are filled in. |
