Florence. Ala, July 21

Col W. G. Wrightson is in Florence this week Investigating various sites in the county which could be used as minnow hatcheries for public health work. Colonel Wrightson has been in Florence several times in the last few months in the interest of malaria control. He states that when the dam is completed there will be about 200 miles of shore line in Lauderdale and adjoining coun- ties and that the government will of necessity have to patrol this shore line to control the malaria bearing mosquito. Small top feed ing minnows are fo great value in this work.
 They would have to be hatched here by the millions to stock the lake and many breeding ponds would have to be established. All those in the county who have swamps or ponds that could be drained and used for this purpose have been asked to list their property with the health de- partment. The local health depart ment are cooperating with Colonel Wrightson in his work.

 By Corporations
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD

Agents of corporations would be prohibited from making settlements of claims for personal injuries and death within 90 days after the acci- dents unless the settlements be ap- proved by the circuit court under bill introduced in the house by Rep resentative Fred Fite of Jefferson.
 Mir. Fite sta ted that many corpora tions in Jefferson county employ claim agents, whose duty it Is to ad- just claims as soon after the accl- dents as possible, thus relieving the corporations of litigation in the courts. He said there were many in stances where corporations had suc- ceeded in making settlements with the payment of modest sums when the persons injured and the heirs or persons killed were entitled to great CT compensation.
 Representative Fite also announced that he would not oppose the d1sbar- ment bill favored by the Alabama Bar association. He was the active opponent of the original bill, which was defeated by the house at the first session. While l shall not vote for the bill now pending, 1t Is not my intention to oppose 1t actively said Mir Fite. T was opposed to the original bill because I felt it to be an unfair one. Many amendments have been made in the bill since It came before the noNe at the first session."
 Representative F. E. St. John of Cullman, another active opponent of the disbarment bill at the first ses- sion, introduced the new bill during the week.
