FIGHT TO ALTER
FLOOD MEASURE
Hope to Draft New Bill
Acceptable to House
and Coolidge.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON. April 21.-House
Republican leaders began a final
effort today to secure a compromise
Mississippi flood control plan that
will satisfy President Coolidge and
prevent veto of the legislation.
They presented to sponsors of
the Jones-Reid bill a series of
amendments, upon which Presi-
dent Coolidge insists if he is to
approve the measure. The Presi-
dent outlined these amendments
at a White House conference Fri
day night with Republican Floor
Leader Tilson and Chairman Mad
den Of the Appropriations Commit
tee, after extended conferences
with Attorney General Sargent and
Maj. Gen. Edgar Jadwin, Army en-
gineer chief.
He presented them as the ulti-
mate he would accept, after disap-
proving some features of the COM
promise plan drafted by Republi-
can leaders and Southern Miss
issippi Valley Congressman.
The House Flood Control Com
mittee Is expected to meet today
to consider these amendments.
If no agreement is reached, Re-
publican leaders are expected to
make a fight for amendments the
President has outlined.

Of the recent Harvard African ex-
petition described by DIR. Richard
P. Strong of Harvard University at
the meeting of the American Phil
osophical Society here today.
A medical and biological survey
of Liberia was the Harvard scien-
fists chief objective. Less was
known, prior to the expedition, of
these aspects of Liberia than of
any other country in Africa. 1t
was apparent as the result of this
investigation that the outstanding
ills the Liberians have to combat,
were malaria and infections from
various parasites.
OF the many forms of parasites
seen, particular attention was de-
voted to the tumors caused by the
threadworm. A new species of fly
was found, in which the embryo OF
the parasitic worm could be seen
under the microscope.
Though it has not been demon
strated by actual biting experiments
that flies of this genus are means
of transmitting the parasite to man,
declared DR.. Strong, nevertheless
these findings furnish important
evidence that such is the case.
Many cases of sleeping sickness
were seen in the Congo, he added,
the whole area of the Semliki VAL
ley having been deserted by the
Belgian government as a result Of
the inroads of the tsetse fly.

Marion County is as vitality in

1.-THE city is growing fast and
will grow faster in all directions if
we do all the things we now feel
we can do. We have a council as
good as any in the world now, so
let's get into something progressive
ourselves and remind Marion
County it also has something to do
Slack referred to a recent visit to
Milwaukee where he found the
county has provided several county
golf courses and parks.
He praised the State conservation
department for worthy efforts in
preserving natural assets, including
the hills, hollowS and trees of
Brown County.

with such an excellent council,
we all must work even harder than

either must have more money for
