Malaria Increasing
 Considerably In U. s.
Alarming Gain Noted in Southeastern Situation
 Calls for Immediate Action Say Statistcians

New York, N. Y.--Malaria, a disease which has been held to be practically eradicabIe by any com- munity willing to make the effort, has been increasing on a c0nsid- erable scale during the past few years in the southeastern part of the United States. Since 1881 there has been an alarming increase in malaria mortality in each of the 13 states in this area. It continues in spite of the fact that the ap- plication of the principles laid down by General Gorgas in his work in Cuba and the Panama Canal Zone more than 30 years ago. would sub- stantially reduce, if not eliminate the disease.
 Insurance Survey Made
 These facts are brought to light by the statisticians of the Metro politan Life Insurance Company, who in study of this disease re- port that mortality from malaria, since 1881, has shown increases which range from 24 per cent in Missouri and Arkansas to 140 and l69 per cent in Louisiana and MiSsi- sippi respectively. Between these extremes Florida reported an in- crease of 95 per cent, Tennessee

 Margaret Sullavan as the heroine of the picture gives a distinguished performance. Randolph Scott as her pacifist sweetheart does well in a very difficult role, and Walter Connolly turns in the ace perform ance of his screen career as the fasher.

30 per cent, and the rest of the B states increases of between 8 and 43 per cent.
 This situation calls for immed- fate action" the statisticians com- ment. "In two states, Arkansas and Mississippi, malaria in 1884 ranked 9th in numerical impOr- tance among all causes of death; in Florida, 10th; and in Louisiana and South America, 18th. During the year 1883 malaria caused one death out of every 20 from all causes combined in Arkansas, and one out of every 25 deaths in Missi- ssippi."
 The malaria mortality record shows that in 1884, out of the 4,520 deaths in the entire United States ascribed to malaria, 4,S75 occurred in B states, all of which, with the exception of Missouri, are in the South Atlantic, East South Central or West South Central divisions. This, according to the statisticians, does not portray the seriousness of malaria problem, since it has been estimated on reliable authority that only one out of every 200 cases of malaria in the general population ends fatally.
 "If this is a true estimate" the statisticians state, "then the 4,250 deaths recorded in 1884 indicate a malaria prevalence of at least 900.- 900 cases in the United States at the present time. Since each case is a potential focus for additional cases, it can readily be seen how threatening is the malaria situa- tion at the present time. Consider, for example, Mississippi, where 688 deaths were attributed to malaria in 1884. On the basis of 200 cases for each of these deaths this means that at least 138,000, or about one out of every IS inhabitants of the state, were afflicted with malaria" !"
 Impoverishment. Blamed
 The alarming increase ill malaria in the southern states has been laid, in part, to the general irnpov- erishment of the people, in certain sections of this area, since the be- ginning of the depression. This would tend to restrict, and in many cases might prevent entirely the purchase of necessary quinine and other malariacidal drugs. Un- favorable climatic conditions, with heavy rainfalls following severe droughts, have also been held re- sponsible by some authorities for the increase in malaria. Lack of state funds to continue quinquin- ization campaigns has also been q serious factor in the increase.
 No doubt the health authorities recognize the seriousness of the malaria problem and are taking steps to meet it.
