ATURES AROUND 20

Can you feature temperatures of
from so to rs above zero in wyo-
ming during the month of Febru-
airy? Whether you can or not such
has been the case in Cody during
the past week, and the business
houses. with door swung open have
been having an air of Spring. There
has been little or no wind, the
nights have been unusually warm,
and the weather as a whole the
most enjoyable winter cline to be
imagined.
We are not much given to foot
in the horn too loud for this sec
ton of the Big Horn basin, but not
withstanding the fact that old King
Frost put in his appearance over
most of the good old U. S. A. he
has not visited the Cody community
this season at all, possibly the low
est temperature of but a few nights
being a point or two below the
zero mark.
And we have had no snow. AL
though you go south a score of
miles, or east, or north, you will
find drifts of snow which at times
have made traffic out of the ques-
ton, in the Cody community. on
the North and South fork, there
has been little or no SNOW at any
time this winter. 1t is possibly
to drive to Pahaska Teppe any day
fifty-miles up Northfork, to. within
a couple miles of Yellowstone park
with a car, the light snow fall in
that section, being a record over
a long period of years.
We note in a down state paper
that a Robin had been discovered
so soon this spring. There was NO

MALARIA GIVING WAY

GENEVA, June Is (Correspondence)
Malaria in the Holy Land IL giving
way before onslaughts on the mos.
quito. The malaria commission of the
health organization of the League Of
Nations attributes the high degree Of
success in its anti.malarial campaign
in Palestine very largely to its efforts
in exterminating the fever-bearing
mosquito larvae.
Swamp draining and oiiing and paris
green have been the principal agents
of death to the young wigglers in the
intensive war which has been waged
by the commission since 1918, when
the malarial incidence, even under
normal circumstances bad enough, ran
unusually high, due to the unsettled
abnormal conditions brought about by
the war.
Quinine treatment Of school children
and q general return to more normal
conditions have all contributed to the
current decline OF the disease, but
anti.larval measures have been the
chief factors, according to the mala-
rial commissions report to the League
Of Nations.

The Lee highway. upon leaving
Rosslyn, enters upon a succession OF
tortuous uphill curves through Park
Lane, Lyon Village and Cherrydale,
and numerous accidents of serious
nature have occurred on these winding
inclines. The roadway, In addition, is
not sufficiently banked at the turns to
resist skidding when the surface is
wet or Icy.
The state Highway Commission has
studied the problem with great care,
