The league induced the allies to

them to float a $3.50, 1000, 900 loan. In

No Idle Buildings.
Business men who left Austria
early in April said there was scarcely
an idle business building or apart
ment in Vienna. The League OF
Nations had opened trade routes
across the borders into neigh
boring countries. Tariff barriers
were being set aside. The printing
of currency was stopped and the
sinking kronen was frozen at 10000
to the dollar. The cost of living had
fallen about 16 per cent. Staple
foods like flour. sugar and salt were
half of their former price.
Austrias problem Is far from
solved, however, because much OF
her territory was Clipped away at
the Paris peace conference. This
places political and tariff barriers be-

Malaria; It's Prevention
Harm And Cure
Prize Essay BY Miss Helen Reid OF
The Eighth Grade

The mosquito is known as one OF
the deadliest and most harmful of in
sects. causing many dangerous diseas-
es. There are many different species
of mosquitoes, among the most inn
portant being the Anopheles, and the
Culex.
The most dangerous of all is the An
opheles, which carries the malaria par
asites, often causing death.
/ Still water is the breeding place of
mosquitoes. After the laying of the
eggs one the surface of the water there
are three changes in the development
of tn mosquito before it is matured
The changes are first, the larvae, Sec
ond. the pupae and third or last the
mosquito itself. Thus the mosquito is
formed.
Mosquitoes are easily destroyed and
prevented from breeding by few sim
| pie precautions. These are, first, oiling
OF ponds to destroy the mosquitoes
The oil is poured yer the surface of
the water and when the larvae come
to the top to get fresh air, they can
not get through the layer of oil to
get the. air and soon die from lack OF
it.
The second method is by putting
top minnows" in the ponds to eat the
larvae, when oiling is not possible.
The last method is by destroying all
rubbish found around the place. All
weeds should be cut down. Thus mos
qultoes are exterminated.
Malarial Mosquitoes are easily dis
tinguished by their many different char
acteristics. They are slight and grace
tul and have spotted or dusky wings
They also have straight bills and pal
pi nearly as long as their bills.
The other difference is that the Ano-
pheles or malarial mosquito rests on
her head while the other mosquitoes
rest bumped up Anopheles live
mainly out of doors, and as thev can
not bear the hot sun, they shelter
themselves in the brush and high weeds
all day and come out al dusk to feed
he mosquitoes carry the deadly
malarill parasites which are very harm
tul. When the mosquito bites, she
sends these parasites into the blood.
The parasites in the blood are doubled
every forty-eight hours, making many
million i'll several days. Chills and few
er is really malarial fever, caused by
the malarial parasite.
And now citizens, OF Fitzgerald, since
you are awake to this. GIir most dan
geous enemy, is it too much to ask you
to help us in THIS campaign 70 the ex-
termination of the mosquito?.
Surely you will not continue to
recognize a menace which ultimately
amounts to an evil in our midst, and
look upon it with extreme indifference.
, No, we expect your full and hearty
support iii this work and we know you
are ready to cooperate with us and
uphold every effort we put forth to
make war on this dreaded insect.

grams and letters have been received
from all parts of the country at head
quarters of the Indiana department of
the American Legion congratulating
that organization on its successful Of
tort to prevent the holding of the In
dianapolis Speedway automobile rae
es on Memorial Day. Backed by the
Legion, the Memorial Day bill was
passed in the Indiasa House of Repre-
sentatives. Previous favorable action
had been taken in the Senate,
: Because the Indiana Legion men,
bers believe that the holding of the
Speedway races is not in keeping with
the spirit of reverence to the dead
which should exist on Memorial Day,
the Memorial bill was placed first on
the Legion's legislative program for
the present session of the state leeis-
lature. Opposing the ex-service men
was powerful lobby maintained bv
the Speedway interests. Desperate eff
forts by enemies of the bill to amend
it were defeated one after another and
the Legion finally emerged from the
struggle victorious.
The action of the Indiana depart
ment was in accord with resolutions
adopted at the 1921 national conven-
ton OF the Legios at Kansas City and
at the last Indiana department con-
Yention.
