in rural communities means in
creased business development in
nearby towns, and once their inter
est is thoroughly aroused they will
be the first to realize that malaria
is far from being strictly rural
problem. There should be organ
lied in every chamber Of commerce
in the coastal plain and in the Mis-
sissippi Valley a strong committee
on sanitation, composed of active,
successful business men who can
accomplish results, to cooperate
with the health officers. In many
instances such men can accomplish
wonderful results in improving the
health, welfare and earning capac-
ity of the community and surround
ing country.
These business men have a
broad vision and can see the neces-
sity of combined efforts in the
way of obtaining local, county,
state and federal assistance for
eliminating insanitary conditions
that cause business stagnation, suf-
fering and death, so much of which
is preventable.
THE presenting Of papers, and
the discussion of control problems
at medical conferences are very
important, but not more so than en-
deavors to obtain the interest and
support of business men who can
and will help to obtain actual re-
suits.
''No time has ever been more APP
propriate than the present to start
a campaign that can and will ac-
complish results, and active and
hard working volunteers are great
ly needed. The people of this
country have been more closely
bound together by the war than
ever before, and are more inter
ested in the common welfare. Re-
Gently an association of business
interests of the states of the Mis-
sissippi Valley has been formed and
they are particularly interested in
the proper development of the en-
tire Valley. Everybody knows that
the hoped for development of the
Valley is an impossibility until the
drain of energy caused by malaria
is largely reduced, and that agri-
culture does not an cannot thrive
normally accompanied by high
malaria rate.
at may interest you to know
that the war caused fifteen impor-
tant cities to undertake malaria
control, and what is more impor-
tant, the work is being continued
now the war is over. 1t is crafty
ing to know that while in the Span
ish-American war, malaria contract
ed largely in our own country near
ly wrecked our American forces,
that during the present campaign
the malaria contracted was insight
ficant. Malaria control is just as
important in time of peace as in
time of war, and every effort must
be made to induce American bust
ness men to feel that it is as much
their duty as that of the medical
profession to help to eliminate the
plague which is causing this state.

NO GETTING AWAY FROM II
Washington Mans Name, in Some

Of his own, with his name painted on
the glass door. Steckman had always
complained that he was a sort of easy
mark, a sympathetic fellow who was
susceptible to more than his share
of hard-luck tales.
One night as Fred Steckman sat In
his office alone a wayfarer came in
the door, related a sorrowful tafe and
touched Steckman for the price Of a
meal. As Steckman handed over the
money and exhibited just a bit of i'm
patience he asked:
Say, l wish you'd tell me one
thing: Out Of all the men and Offices
in this big building why did you select
me and this office to make a touchT
"Well," said the panhandler 81
dunno exactly, except that your name
sOrter looked easy. I looked 'em all
over all down the corridor, and when
l came to Steckman it somehow Sug-
gested to me that here was a kindly
fellow who'd fall for my yarn. And
you did. l don't know why it struck
me that way, but it did"

INCOME TAX RETURNS SHOW
BIG INCREASE IN DELAWARE
FALLING OFF IN 1921 WAS MORE
THAN MADE UP IN 1922
Results Show More Prosperity Among
the People of the State-Refiects
An Increase in Business

In connection with report of the
Bureau of Internal Revenue giving |
statistics relative to income tax, Col
lector of Internal Revenue John w.
Herring pointed out last week that al |
though returns for the year 1921 had |
shown a falling off Of 3,048 in number |
the filing for 1922 was considerably |
heavier than ever before. Collector !
Herring estimated that a general in
crease in returns filed by citizens Of
this State would show an increase of
1000 or more over previous years. In
commenting upon the general increase
in the number of returns and the ma
tural increase in the tax for the year
1922 over 1921, he gave as reasons
for the increase the general resump-
ton of industry during the past year,
the increasing distribution of wealth,
and generally healthful state of eco
nomic conditions in this state. The
average net income per return in Del
aware in 1921 was S2.74S. The high
est average net income per return was
shown by the Bureaus statistics to be
the state of New York with S3,391
average. The lowest average net in
come was found in IDAHO with a fig
ure of $2,164. Delaware's position in
the average per return is well up on
the list compiled by the Internal Rev
enue Service. "This," Collector Her
ing pointed out, Indicates a general
and widespread prosperity throughout
the state" The 1922 compilation is
expected to show an increase in this
average of at least $500, he predicted,
or about $4,000 The great bulk of
the returns are filed by citizens
whose income averages between ST.
600 and $4,000. Of the 1889 returns
filed, II, ,829 are filed by individuals in
these classes of income. If the limit
for this average were placed up tC
$4,000, the entire number would very
nearly be included, or a total of 13,
281. During the interview. Collector
Herring called attention of corporation!
, that have been granted extension 0,
time for filing their returns for th'
: year 1922 to the due date for thes
returns, which is June Is. The quar-
. terly payment for individuals is ais
: due at that time, he stated Recon-
mendation was made that payment b.

AUTOMOBILE HERE TO STAY
Foolish to Compare II TO Popular
"crazes" That Merely 5loomed
for a Time.

'Tf the automobile craze continues"
queried a Man Who Loves to Talk,
"what will we do for roads for the
cars to run on? Just now all the
main roads around the city are used
to capacity on nice Sundays, and it is
common knowledge that downtown
streets are so jammed at times that
man can walk on the sidewalk faster
than a car can travel in the street
Shall we have to double-deck our
streets2'
Possibly" replied the Man Who Re
members. "But the use of autOmO-
biles is not a craze. 1t is too endur-
ing for a craze. The roller-skating
epidemic that swept the country in the
middle eighties was a craze. Remem-
Der how rinks sprang up in every
town. Bicycle riding ten years later
was a craze. The Williamsburgh
bridge was built while it was at its
height, and plans for the bridge called
for a space devoted exclusively to
bikes, but the craze passed before the
bridge was completed.
"Ping-pong was a craze that blOomed
in the morning and died at night
though while 1t lasted there were
ping-pOng clubs, tournaments and con
tests. But baseball, politics and the
mOtorcar are not crazes. They are in

MAN HAS MADE NEW FRIEND
South Africa Reported to Have De-
Veloped New Animal Entitled to
Distinctive Phrase.

A new friend of man has been found.
This good news was announced by Pro
fessor Myers at the congress Of the
scientific association recently held at
Hull, England.
This animal, not fOreseen by Noah,
is a dog But a singular dog, which
inhabits Rhodesia, and which, on ac-
count of the abundant name that
adorns his neck and shoulders, and
also because of his moral qualities. has
been named the "dOg-lion." The in
habitants from South Africa had al
ready begun to despair, so much had
the wild beasts been multiplying there.
The birth rate of the lion, in particu-
lar, according to reports, was incOm-
parable. But now this dOg-liOn has
appeared.
He was still in the state of pOssi-
bility in the course Of nature when IL
lustriOus experimenters and savants
resolved to combine an animal which
Joined to the lions force and courage
the fidelity of the dog.
And now that the dOg-lion has been
launched the true lions are taking
fright. They do not recognize this
false brother and doubt if a drop OF
their royal blood flows in his veins
for they had not thought themselves
so eowardly, and they ask themselves
If their reputation is not a little over
done. The other pursues them, closes
them round, and cOmpels them to run

PROPOSES BARK FOR FUEL
Properly Prepared, According to one
Who Should Know, It Could Be
Substituted for Coal.

In a report to the Technical AssO-
citation Of the Pulp and Paper Indus
try, which has been holding its an
nual meeting at Detroit, George d.
Bearce, engineer for the News Print
Service bureau, described experiments
on the substitution Of wood bark, prop
erly prepared, for coal, stating that
the enormous quantity of pulp wood
which is used in the paper business is
evidence Of its potential fuel value to
the industry"
The quantity of bark in pulp wood,
said Mr. Bearce, amounts to approx
mately ten per cent Of the volume and
weight of the rough wood. or 25O
pounds of dry bark per cord of wood.
One hundred cords of pulp wood rep
resents approximately 25,OO0 pounds
of dry bark that has a fuel value equal
to eight tons of coal, if the moisture
of the bark is reduced by one-half.
The heating value, Mr.. Bearce stated,
increases greatly if the moisture con-
tent Of the bark Is Iessened.
A large number of mills using pulp
wood were visited or questioned by
Mr. Bearce and the committee which
he headed. Many stated that they con
sidered the bark of little value. Tests
made for the committee showed that
two types of processes were able tC
reduce the moisture content to about
60 per cent, and that it would be neces
sary to have at least 80 per cent OF
the moisture removed If the bark werC
to serve as a suitable substitute for
coal. Special draft conditions, a grat'
! surface giving correct combustion, ant
refractory walls to dry out the moist
ure are required said Mr.. BearCe.
Under these conditions it was he'll
by the committee that the bark cOul
be used as fuel and thus effect a say
ing of a large amount of coal.

\ Vanishing Art.

Postal busybodies have been weigh
ing letters and have found that their
average weight is decreasing From
this the conclusion is drawn that the
public is writing shorter letters than
it did in other days.
This is confirmatOry information
not news. The art of letter writing
has been decadent for more than a
generation.
There has been a conspiracy of rea.
sons to bring this to pass. Perhaps
the most important is that we live too
usy lives to spend time filling reams
