remains within a short distance of
the propagation point, declaring
that whenever dengue appears
search should be made about the i'm
mediate premises surrounding the
home of the patient, with especial
attention being given all tubs, bar
rels, rainspouts, bottles and cans
that furnish breSding places for
this species of disease bearing mas-
quito.
The malaria mosquito, Dr. Cham
bliss told his hearers, breeds under
different condition than those most
favorable to propagation of the dem
que mosquito, explaining the neces-
sity for community cooperation
in exterminating all mosquitoes.
He especially plead for the aid Of
the women and children in the
fight upon mosquitoes, and related
a number of instances which have
come under his observation where
exceptionally good work had been
done by'Boy Scout organizations.
DR.. Bond told of his work among
the children in the schools of the
county, and of the manner in
which these little ones had won his
heart through their cooperation in
his efforts to control preventable
diseases. He also spoke at some
length upon the different varieties
of mosquitoes, their habits and the
danger they hold for the commun-
ity in which they exist. In con-
Guiding DR.. Bond assured those
present of his hearty approval Of
their effort to end malaria in their
community, and expressed his will
lingness to work with community
committees and interested individ-
uals, pledging himself to respond
to every call made upon his serv-
ices.

Chairman Ray of the board of
commissioners spoke very briefly,
saying that the commissioners hav-
ing gone into the fight upon the
mosquito, he felt everything nee
essary and possible should be done
to make the effort successful. He
said that the commissioners would
| begin soon the work of lowering
a certain drain pipe under the Les
lie-Americus road, which DR.. Bond
] had explained would materially aid
in the community drainage prob
lem, this decision having beer
reached after a malaria survey OF
the community by himself anC
others.
R. c, Moran, who was the last
speaker, told of conditions in Mo
bile and other Alabama cities
where yellow fever once caused
thousands of deaths almost annual
ly, and of measures taken to elimi-
nate the mosquito and screen
homes and business houses there at
tremendous expense He referred
also to the necessity for installa-
ton of a sanitary sewage disposal
system in every community, ex-
pressing the opinion that Leslie
was big enough and rich enough
to have this modern improvement.
The Times Recorder, he said, had
co-operated with the county com
missioners and the constituted
health authorities of Sumter coun-
ty since the beginning of the fight
upon the mosquito, and this policy,
he said, would continue. He ask
ed those present to forget all about
who owns the physical property of

the community paper as "our pa

advance community interests.

toned to using the scheme Of spinning
up the gears by letting in the clutch
momentarily, but found this not at
all necessary with the Paige. My wife
drove large part of the trip with great
enjoyment and without noticeable uT-

Idon't know whether you will be in

drove two whole days with the automat-

on other days into dust clouds, or
cold winds in the mountains. And the
pleasure of being able to regulate ones
own comfort by merely turning win
dow-handle, is one that never appre-
ciated before as did in your Paige

the car is not hot in warm weather.
Perhaps 1 should close my letter by
saying that the Paige IS far finer car
than ] ever imagined 1t to be. In tact, II
is more comfortable to ride in, and cas-
Ter to handle than any higher priced

EUROPE BUYS IN BIRMINGHAM

Troubles in the Ruhr basin find rcac- ton in the Birmingham district and 1t would be more pronounced one if the district were not so busly engaged in supplying the domestic needs for its products. There has been a brisk foreign demand for Alabama coke, and two large cargoes have been sold for European destinations customarily sup piled from the Ruhr basin. One of these cargoes has already gone to Hamburg. fair price, carrying reasonable profit to the coke makers, was received. Not only Ala bana, but eastern coke makers have also been supplying the coke void in the western part of the continent. The continent is also asking for American pig iron, and Birming- ham makers and brokers have received num- bers of inquiries.
 There is very little prospect of export business, however, because the blast furnaces are sold-up for several months for domestic consumption. The Birmingham district is so advantageously situated both for domestic and export business that it automatically gets it's share of both and it is fine to have things going so well in both directions The rule of reason is what we should earnestly work for and strive to perpetuate.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-20

relax in his plans for fighting the weevil. There are often only a few houseflies that survive the winter, but who would ever guess it by the following July? If there are many weevils killed, nature expects every remaining weevil to do her duty, and so far there is no record that the response to that call has not been more than hearty. The weevi zone has been steadily creeping north ward ever since the entry of the pest into this country. There were predictions from Washington that the advance would halt at the line where the ground customarily freezes in winter. These predictions were not given in language the weevil could understand, so it kept right on across that imaginary boundary until now there is only very narrow belt between the northermos5 weevl line and the limits of the cotton belt
 Perhaps even this year the weevil will reach the cotton frontiers Neither cold, nor rain, nor flood, nor manifestation of nature will stop him nor cause his race to diminish. Man must create some sort of artificial con- d:t:on which the weevil cannot survive. Whether this condition be starvation, poison, pestilence or natural enemy, it must be es- tablshed before the weevil is conquered. The only possible advantage to be derived from a late freeze is the delay in weevil activity and the possible loss of few adults. The farmer should avail himself of the ad- vantage by preparing his ordnance and bringing his heavy artillery to play upon his weakened foe before it recovers. Left to himself, the late-season weevll will be here in numbers larger than ever before.
