.SKEET CONTROL
WORK PRAISED
Has Been a Contributing Fac
tor in Health of Down
State Towns
ESPECIALLY IN MALARIA

Mosquito control has been the
determining factor in the success
or failure of numerous commun-
tiles throughout the world, from
health, social, and commercial
standpoints, according to DR.. L. L.
Williams, Surgeon in Charge of
Malaria Control, u. S. Public
Health Service, who spent the past
weekend as a guest of w. S. Cork
ran, executive officer of the Della
ware mosquito control commission.
Residents of areas that have at
tained mosquito control quickly
forget the pain and inconvenience
to which they were previously sub
Jected by the pests, he says, and
are apt to become so spoiled by
their new freedom and comfort
that they complain upon the ap-
pearance of two or three mo-
squitoes. Having spent some time
in Rehoboth, few years ago, DR..
Williams recalled vividly the pain
and inconvenience to which mo-
squitoes formerly subjected visit
crs, and complimented the Della
ware control authorities on the re-
suits attained. While DR.. Williams
deals primarily with the malaria
mosquito, his work has brought
him into contact with all of the
various types and the problems of
their elimination. He has seen
large areas of the South where
pecanS, cotton, and rice went un-
harvested for long months be-
cause of plaques Of mosquito-born
malaria, and other uncontrolled
areas where the extremely heavy
hordes of the pests drove men from
their work. On the other hand. he
says, he has seen resorts grow by
leaps and bounds, as is now the
case in Lewes, Rehoboth, and Beth
any Beach, Immediately after vic
lous hordes of mosquitoes had been
eliminated from thereabouts. For
tunately, he says, the Infection
carrying malaria mosquito is limit
ed in his flight to approximately
mile from its breeding place, and is
only dangerous after the disease
has appeared in the eighborhood
and the pest has had the opportun-
ity to bite someone afflicted with
it. This breed prefer still waters,
partially shaded, and mostly fresh.
DR.. Williams is expected to return
to Delaware in the near future for
an inspection tour of the mosquito
control work.

about all can stand Of this.
Adele is sick Of him and so am
I, but you've made 1t plain that
you have your own ideas about
him, so now you go downstairs
and settle it,"
Christie got to her feet, pulled
a comb through her tumbled hair.
The sight of her swollen, tear
streaked face startled her. bue
what did she care, what was the
difference"
"I'll see him." she said hotly.
''I'll see him just as I am. And
it won't take me long to get rid
of him, either!"
Looking back on it afterward.
Christie never knew whether to
laugh or cry when she thought
about that night and all that it
brought to her.
What q sight she must have
been, rushing downstairs, pushing
past Aunt Nettie and someone else
who got in her way. flinging open
the living room door, banging 1t
shut, breathless and scarlet
With her dress mussed from sit
ing on the floor packing, and her
nose and eyes red from crying.
you couldn't have fallen in
love with my beauty" she told
him afterward.
eve seen you look better" he
admitted, smiling.
He never said very much. Even
that night, when he came to tell
her everything-all about his long
drawn-out affair with Adele, and
the final break with her, and the
money he still owed, and the sac
rifices his mother had made so
that he could finish college, and
do the extra research work that
had meant so much to him-even
Of his love for her, he wouldn't
say enough.
She had to ask questions.
But, if you didn't love her, then
why did you keep on going with
her?"
IT did, at first! Or I thought
I did, till I knew you and what it
really was to love"
CHAPTER XIX
'But Adele loves you, Donald"
II hope not"
"But she did-she does!"
"She says not, and I choose to
believe her, Christie"
But Donald, any girl would
say"
They argued about that for
hours. Flooded with the warmth
Of knowing he cared for her, she
could be generous to Adele. Even
to the point of giving him up to
her. That old trick of wanting
to sacrifice herself Maybe
he was correct to say that wasn't
right, and it wasn't even kind.
That the mistake he had made
was not in finally breaking with
Adele, but in letting things slide
on for so long.
cit was because it was so in
definite that it was so ridiculously
hard to break" he said. "If we
had been engaged I could have
nerved myself to go to her, and
ask her to break it. But we
weren't engaged. I'd never really
said a word about love or mar
riage. 1t was just that we had
drifted along.
"And so I didn't know what to
say, or what to do. But when
I saw that I was going to lose
you If I didn't do something, I
just had to. So I went to her
and put all the cards on the table
this afternoon, and she was very
sweet about It'll always like
her for that"
She had to ask him how long
he'd loved her and when he first
knew, and what made him do it.

If Adele had SAID something
If she'd been angry, and blamed
her, as Aunt Nettie and Isabelle
had, or even If she'd tried to pre-
tend she didn't care. But to have
to see her, sitting there, twisting
her thin, bloodlesS hands in her
lap, her eyes red-rimmed and va
cant, and all Of her pink prettiness
drained away, leaving her sudden
~ plain and middle-aged, like
somebody's sickly, maiden aunt.
Love! Love did that to Adele.
Love for Donald, who didn't love
her. Poor Adele! If she could only
have put her arms around her,
and whispered to her:
II know. know how you feel, !
know because it happened to me
once. Once I was the one who
went on loving after the other one
was tired. And I know well the
ache and the loneliness and the
humiliation. But it won't be so bad
for you, dear Adele, because you
don't have to be ashamed Of your
love as I am.
you'll never have to wake In
the night, sick with remembering.
Your life won't be spoiled. You
can find someone else to love,
maybe, and be happy, and !
can't because who'd want me?
Oh, Dad, Dad, why did you have
to die?"
Oh, to be out Of it! Out Of
everything-back home with Dad
again, a little girl, with her
whole life ahead Of her, and
nothing spoiled.
She was crying into q stocking,
under the impression it was a
handkerchief, with the suitcase
still open on the floor beside her,
when Nettie opened the door and
walked in.
"Stop that shifting" she said
briskly. I've had Just about all
I can stand. Besides, your dear
Donald Latham is back again,
waiting to see you. o, dear!
What have you done to your
nice, neat room? I do wish
well! Never mind. I'll call
Rose. She's in bad humor
already, but I can't have room
looking like this one. I wish
you'd be a little heater, that's all.
For my sake. I wouldn't mind If
/ were stronger, but with my
health what 1t Is and"
I'm packing. I'll pick every
thing up!"
Nettie sighed. Her white,
ranged hands lifted sweater, a
box Of busting powder, from the
floor.
Don't be absurd. wouldn't
permit you to leave, even if you
wished to-which is doubtful.
Come! Pull yourself together

Christie gave a loud sob, buried

polka-dotted with her tears.

Two men and two women arrested

q Justice Department agent were held
for the grand jury under $4,000 bond
each today when arraigned before
United States Commissioner Needham
C. Turnage on charges of violating
and conspiring to violate the Mann

The arrests followed an announce
ment by j. Edgar Hoover, director
of the Federal Bureau Of Investiga-
ton, that his agents, in cooperation
with local police, were prepared to
launch a determined drive to stamp
out wholesale transportation of wom-
en- for immoral purposes.

his latest reports dealing with the
drought. He will remain at the
Presidents home for luncheon and in
all probability will sit in during the
Presidents conference with Taber. It
is understood that rural credit and
crop insurance will be discussed at
the afternoon parley. It is thought
likely. too, that Taber will take this
opportunity to renew the invitation
extended to Mr.. Roosevelt some
months ago to address the annual
meeting Of the grange, to be held
in Ohio shortly.
Political Talk Unlikely.
It Is not thought that politics will
be discussed during Taber's visit, al
though the latter h.s been travelling
extensively over the country recently
Taber is not of Mr.. Roosevelt . politi-
cal persuasion.
D. w. Bell, acting director Of the
budget, who sat In on the drought
relief conference, discussed with the
President the appointment of the spe-
cial committee to study the question
of fiscal relations between the Federal
and district governments. It was ex-
pected the President would be in a
position to announce the personnel
Of this committee following his talk
with Bell yesterday, but announce
ment was postponed until tomorrow.
Bell intimated the delay was caused
by the fact that one Of those offered
an appointment on this committee
had not yet formally accepted. It
was learned the committee will not be
more than three in number and that
at least two of the three members
will be non-residents of the District
Of Columbia.
The President today had an oppor-
tunity, however, to drop for the mo-
ment such subjects as drought and
relief and talk politics, when James
Townsend, Democratic State chair
man in Duchess County, the Presi-
dents own county, called for a chat.
Chairman Townsend was accompa-
MED by Edward E. Perkins, also ac-
tive in the county politics.
Duchess County is one of the rec
ognized Republican .strongholds in
New York State. It takes q natural
pride in having one of its sons Pres
ident Of the United States, but it has
shown in the past that it takes q stin
greater pride in voting Republican.
The President arranged his en-
gagement schedule so as to be free
from work for the late afternoon in
order to enjoy driving his automobile
about the nearby countryside.
More w. p. A. Jobs Planned.
Mr.. Roosevelt's conferences with
Wallace and Taber followed closely
on yesterdays drought-relief confer
ence with q group Of administration
experts. Then the President ap-
proved a plan which would increase
the number Of w. P. A. subsistence
jobs in the drought areas from 10000,
the current figure to a minimum Of
10000 and q maximum of 10000.
It was said after this conference the
expenditure of at least $4,000, 900
month may be necessary to provide
these jobs in the drought-affected
States.

principal spokesmen at yesterdays con-
ference, made the prediction afterward
