are transmitted solely by the mos
quito.
The first in importance in Amer
lea is malaria. This disease, which
is sometime spoken of as ague, or
chills and fever, exists in numer-
Gus parts of. the United States, but
more frequently in the South, due
to the numerous undrained lands
and to the mild climate.
Malaria is transmitted by the
female anopheles mosquito. These
mosquitoes sometimes exist for a
time in a community with no ma
laria, but that is because no per-
son with malaria organisms in his
blood "a malaria CAREER has hap
pened to sojourn in those parts
Germ Is Cause.
Malaria is a disease due to a
germ which lives in the red blood
cells of man. The chain of life of
the malaria germ is; Man to
mosquito and then again to man."
The economic loss due to ma
laria alone in the Southern states
amounts to a huge sum, not only
from the loss of time among work
men, but for the amount of money
expended for quinine and chill ton
les, let alone the deaths attributed
to this disease.
The next disease in order is yell
low fever. This plague in years
past has taken its toll by the hun
dreds and was dreaded more by
the people than most any other
malady. However, there has been
very little of it in the United
States in recent years and it is the
hope of health authorities that is
death knell will soon be sounded.
Yellow fever is transmitted by
the aedes calopus or stegomyia
mosquito. These mosquitoes exist
in our country and the only reas-
on there is no yellow fever is be-
cause there a1e no carriers of
yellow fever for them to bite.
Great Suffering.
Next in order in the mosquito
born diseases is dengue, or break
bone fever. This is carried by the
culex mosquito and alsc, as some
authorities believe, by the aedes,
or yellow fever, mosquito.
This disease recently visited the
Southern states and was very
rapid in its spread While there
was not many deaths from dem
que, hundreds of people suffered
greatly for several days from its
visit and in some instances indus
trial plants could scarcely operate
owing to the number of afflicted
workmen.
Another disease due to the culex
mosquito is filarlasis, which is the
infestation of the connective It's
sues, lymphatics and body cavities
of the human with long, slender
threat worms. This maniiests it.
self most perhaps in the form of
elephantiasis, or barbdoes leg, that
peculiar condition found in tropi-
cal countries among the natives,
where the leg or some part of the
body will reach such an enormous
size that the patient is entirely i'll
capa citated.
Filariasis is not often found in
the, United States, although occas-
ionaI cases are seen.
Four diseases that can absolute
ly be prevented by well directed
labor and the expense of the la
Dor is as nothing when compared
to the pain, misery, loss of life and
economic loss caused by them. War
should be immediately declared on
all mosquitoes regardless of the
breed or classification.

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

MATURE with little is con-
Better to go on foot than ride
and fall.
A wise man never attempts i'm
possibilities.
He that knows no guilt can
know no fear.
Ambition is but avarice on stills
and masked.
A bad mind carries with it a
bad disposition.
That which pleases many is
guarded with much danger.
To some those things delight
the more which are the more
costly.
How good a meaning may be
corrupted by a misconstructiOn!
They must often change who
would be constant in happiness or
wisdom.
Half the failures in life arise
form pulling in ones horse as he
Is leaping.
He shoots higher who threatens
the moon than he who aims at
tree.
1t is a great argument in
mans favor to show moderation
to both sides.
Honesty is the best policy, but
he who acts on that principle is
not an honest man.
The surest way to be cheated
is to think oneself cleverer than
other people. d..
We never do anything well till
we cease to think about the man
ner of doing it.
Everything that is wise has
been thought already-We can
only try to think it once more.
A moral, sensible, well-bred man,
Will not insult me; no other can.
-Cowper.
1t is one thing to show man
that he is in error, and another
to put him in possession of truth.
The laws of conscience which
we say are born of nature are
born of custom.

BRITISH SEEK
NEW ALLIES
IN EUROPE

r ONDON.-Are there new Eu-
ropean ententes behind the
- recent movements of British
royalty?
This question is being seriously
asked in Europe.
King George and Queen Mary
have recently visited Italy, and
their welcome has been tremen-
dous.
The Prince of Wales has been
well received on a visit to Bel
GUM.
Perhaps these are just courtesy
visits. Perhaps they are more.
At any rate, the fact remains
that the Anglo-French entente is
tremendously near the cracking
point. For more than a year
now this entente has been under
a considerable strain. There
have been times when it has
seemed hopelessly broken, but it
has been hastily patched up
again.
Great Britain must have friends
in Europe, and IL France fails,
then why not Belgium and Italy?
There have been unmistakable
signs that Italy is pulling away
from France. The policy Of Poin-
care is not that of Mussolini. The
British and the Italians have
found themselves standing on
common ground in more than
one of the recent European tits.
If an Anglo-Italian entente is on
the cards, certainly the visit Of
British royalty to Italy cannot
injure such an entente, particu.
larly since the British King has
had so many nice things to say
of italy and Mussolini.
Belgium has been~standing fast
by the side of France, but there
have been many indications that
she would be glad to break away
from her rather aggressive ally
if a fitting opportunity came.
Certainly Britain would be glad
to have Belgium on her side If
there ever came a sharp differ
ence Of opinion between the
allies. The Prince of Wales is
known as Great Britain's most
successful ambassador" Mayhap
his recent visit to Belgium was
move than courtesy call.
The powers of British royalty
are Few, but the Influence of the
royal family is always used for
the good Of the empire. 1t may
be that the friendships which are
being cemented between the
ROYALTY of Great Britain, Italy
and Belgium. may prove a basis
for future work of statesmen and
politicians.

Blue is one thing and the Gray
is another. There should be no
more Blue and no more Gray.
If a tribute is to be paid to the
heroes on either side whom we
wish to keep in remembrance,
it should be made by American
citizens, not divided by the col
ors of their garments. There is
no need to march by grand
armies, by camps or by posts.
If there is to be a shaking
of hands, let it be done by one
citizen of the United States
with another. The Gray and
! Blue are things of the past. In
the innermost hearts, in the
still quick memories of the
South, the Gray will always live,
but it should live as in a shrine,
hallowed and hidden from pomp
and display. AS citizens of
common country, we of the
South offer our hands to citi-
zens of the North in peace and
fellowship, but we do not mingle
the Gray with the Blue.

fought again, and redoubts re-
taken. Much has been said of
brotherly love and the bridging
of the chasm. The Blue has
marched abreast to the common
meeting place, and the Gray has
marched abreast, and they have
met and shaken hands and said
the war is over. There can be
no such thing as a union of the
Blue and Gray. When you pro-
nounce the words you form the
bar that separates them. The
