 San Antonio, Tex, April 2l.-Al seven balloons entered in the national elimination race, which took the aiI here late yesterday, were still up thi, afternoon and flying northwestward according to available reports received here.
 News dispatches indicated that the great bags still were lowering over oklahoma and Texas territory.
 Most reports said they were travel ing high, making their Identification impossible. One unidentified bag was reported nearly dragging on the ground near Denison, Texas.
 The point farthest north from which a report was received was Blackwell, okla, where a balloon, flying east ward, was sighted at 1o:io q. m.
 Wireless Awaits Word
 The army wireless station here was awaiting word from the pilots and a watch was being kept for the return of carrier pigeons.
 IL was learned today that Captain II. E. Honeywell, the pilot. at the last tainute yesterday afternoon refused to take basket of pigeons with him be- cause Of a superstition that pigeons bring bad luck.
 Has liadio Outfit
 Honeywell's balloon is the only one equipped with radio broadcasting set. The other balloons are carrying receiving sets only except B. II. Four nier, who is carrying only pigeons.
 Interest is attached to HoneywelIs flight because Of the experiment in carrying a broadcasting set. This is thought to be a dangerous experiment because of static electricity which might ignite the bag. Captain Bou- dinot, Honeywells aid, however, is an expert in this as well as in meteorolo- gy and his knowledge is considered valuable asset to Honeywell.
 The bnlloons having receiving sets have decided advantage in being able 10 receive weather reports, es- pecially prepared for them. This is believed to be the first national bal- loon race in which radio stations have been able to serve as the communicat- ing medium between freo balloons and the earth.
 \ high wind is blowing from the souih in the course Of the balloons. ]. II. Jarboc, meterologist, estimated it's velocity at from 90 to 75 miles an hour. up to 5000 feet, and 75 to 100 miles per hour above that height.

TREK THE DESERT
SANS FOOD, MONEY

on the trail is Cameron, the low point
in altitude.
Why they start over the desert with
money is something that some Of the
travellers do not tell.
They have a reason but it is not
always known to the public but never
theless there are tales of hardship
that still reach the ears of the public
via the desert road.
Saturday evening. travellers from
here to Moqui Springs found car
some forty miles south of here CON
tanning two men, woman and four
or five children.
Sunday morning other travellers out
ward bound found the same car, on
the roadside, with tire trouble
Sunday afternoon car coming to
Winslow picked up one of the men in
the car and brought him here He
said he was hobo and that the man
whose family was in the car had
picked" him up on the desert and
was bringing him east The tramp
had had a little money but he said
he spent it for food for the bunch
and now his money was gone and he
could not stand to see the Youngsters
in need SO he left them
Somehow the woman in the party
caught ride to town Saturday and
begged some food and caught a ride
back again the same night
Monday afternoon the woman and
several children were seen going west
on the Santa Fe tracks near the
station
This is not new story, probably
Just an old one of "hope deferred
and a final desperate trek onward in

MALARrA.coNTRo OIL PROFITABLE

Some estimate of the value of effective
measures against the spread Of malaria may
be gained by the report that the Missouri
Pacific Railroad has organized large force
for mosquito eradication along its lines in
Arkansas, and is spending hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in this work. The basis
Of the fight against the disease is to elimi-
nate the breeding places of mosquitoes.
This railroad found that it was losing
heavily from inefficiency of its employees suf
fering from malaria. Many workmen,
though still on their jobs, were more or less
handicapped for services by sickness, and re-
duction in efficiency became more and more
serious. Hence the expenditure by the rail
road is regarded as good business.
Aeide from the inconvenience, annoyance,
anxiety, Reorganization of family life, direct
personal cost, suffering and danger arising
from malaria, 1t is one Of the most serious
handicaps to industry and progress. This
has been demonstrated time and again in
nearly every part Of the country, and es-
pecially in the South, where the disease
seems to flourish more readily. Thus hun
dreds of private industrial enterprises are
finding it profitable to spend millions of dol
lars in fighting malaria.
In Alabama there are many anti-malaria
campaigns. In North Alabama especially
there has been an awakening by the people
to the meaning of the movement This is
encouraging and promises valuable results.
A few days ago an eminent surgeon and SAN
itary expert pointed out through figures
what malaria control means to this indus
trial district. He showed that twenty years
ago there were ten thousand cases of ma.
laria where there are now less than two
hundred, and added that loss of time among
IRsRaAN A-A L.. - -
as result of the activities against this in
sidious and easily preventable disease. The
elimination of malaria in any district would
be worth in dollars and cents very many
times the cost of properly directed anti
malaria work,
