NeWburyport, Mass, June 80
(UP)-Thirteen-year old Edward
Dow-the 18th defense witness at
his private murder trial-continues
to tell a superior court jury today
that he knew of the bludgeon death
last April of Miss Lydia S. Cook,
72-year old spinster.
The lad, youngest in the state ever
to stand trial for his life, was called
as a witness yesterday to testify
concerning the Staying of the wo-
man who formerly employed him as
a chore boy.
Dow testified for 40 minutes in
the sweltering courtroom before
Judge John " Spalding and a
shirtsleeved jury before the days
session ended. Previously his par
ents, several school teachers and
friends had testified.
The defense whipped rapidly
through its list of witnesses after
the state rested shortly before noon.

took 40 years of patient work by
the Dutch, often in the face of uni

could grow cinchona trees in the

Marina RaSkova was one of three

COW to Komsomolsk-o 1.-the Amur,
adjacent to the Siberian-Manchu
ko border, where forced landing
was made in swamp, and the
three woman crew remained for
10 days, living off chocolate and
wild mushrooms, with only radio
to keep them in touch with the out
side world.
Just before this spectacular flight,
heralded in Moscow with the same
fanfare as Lindbergh's trans-At-

succumbed to an attack of appen-
dicitis. Immediately following an
operation she started on the sched-

was made by blind flying.

However, at that time a
chemical change - harmless in
itself - occurred in the charac-

making Castoria. But this
change, in combination with the
reduced sugar, increased the

Washington. June 22-The officer
who treasured his men in North
Africa that any shell burst they
heard would never get them was
surprised to hear a Georgian drawl
that they'd neither see nor hear the
mosquitoes which would give them
malaria.
That southern doughboy was not
so familiar with war, but he knew
all about malaria carrying mos
qultoes which give no suc'o warming
as the familiar dive bombing va
riety from the buzz school.
And since the fever-infested mos
quito is exclusively a night at
tacker, he isn't even seen.
Although II of our southern states
know malaria too we'll, it is the first
time in American history that the
entire nation has been fighting a
global war in which so per cent of
our troops in tropical fronts may
contract malaria. Throughout the
South Pacific, China, India, Burma,
North Africa and Southern Europe
our men face malaria, characterized
"as a much more deadly foe than
any we may be called on to face"
by Rear Admiral Ross T. Mcintyre.
U. S. Navy Surgeon General.
Most of this country has met
malaria only twice before, and
those were comparatively minor
skirmishes. In one, the Spanish
American war, six out of every 10
soldiers contracted fever, and far
more died of it than from enemy
bullets. And, during the construc-
ton of the Panama Canal, Major
Gen. William G. Gorgas had to give
10000 doses of quinine day to con-
troll malaria.
