Mighty Minnow Minimizes Malaria Mosquito Menace
By a Coast Guard Correspondent

AT A COAST GUARD BASE SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA (SpeciaD .-Malaria- control officers in this sector are using dynamite and bombs against mosquitoes in- stead of Japs, and they have the wholehearted cooperation of the Betty Grable of the minnow family.
 The queen of minnows, with 8 figure that quickens the eye and the grace of ballet dancer, is known as a gambusia. It feeds on the larvae of the anopheles mosquito, carrier of the deadly malaria. American and Australian malaria control officials, according to Dr. Cuff E. Hopla, have been matching the gambusia in large quantities for stocking stagnant pools of water near Coast Guard, Navy, Marine, and Army bases here.
 In cases where a stagnant pool is too infested for the gambusia alone to cope with, Dr. Hopla and his associates plant dynamite sticks and blow the pool out of existence, thus destroying the breeding grounds.
 Sometimes aerosol "bombs" are employed. They are not explosive in character but produce a continu- ous, poisonous spray that kills not only mosquitoes but flies and other insects. The bombs" are about the size of a small fire extinguisher.

ICE EXPLORERS MAKE ADVANCE
 GLACIER STUDY
Two Men Make Five-Ddy Exploration on Men,
 denhaII Glacier |

An advance party, of the Arctic Institute of North America, came down from Mendenhall Glacier last night after a five-day preliminary exploration of the Juneau Ice Cap. The two men, Robert McCarter, Garden City, N, Y, and Francis Magoun, Cambridge, Mass, arrived here last Tuesday and went up the glacier the next day
 The Arctic Institute will spend most of the summer in Alaska to explore various glacial formations. They will spend about two months on Seward Glacier, near Yakutat, with groups of glacier geologists and meteorologists to observe glacial and weather conditions there
 McCarter and Magoun also hope to take time off to climb Mt. Van- couver and Mt. Cook at the head of Yakutat Bay. Vancouver, which is 15,700 feet high, is the tallest un- climbed mountain on the North Am erican continent.
 The Seward Glacier expedition is headed by Walter Woods who will arrive here tomorrow on the Princess Louise with several other members of the party. They will go to Yakutat from here within Q few days and will fly to the glacier from Yakutat and establish base camp there. The Air Force will fly supplies to them during their two months observation. A special plane, equipped with both skis and wheels is being brought here for their use by Dean Goodwin.
 Maynard Miller will head the par ty which will come here in late August to explore the Juneau ice cap and to climb the Devils Paw. The second expedition, although fi- nanced by a different organization, will consist primarily of the same men as the first.

 Nail. Leae.
By JOE REICHLER

The National League, noted for its close pennant races. is staging one this year that promises to make all others look like runaways by com parsion.
 With the season nearly one third gone, the gap between the co-leading New York Giants and Boston Braves and the fourth place St. Louis Card irals is only one and one-half games
 The tighest race ever staged ill the National involving more than two teams took place in 1908. The Cubs won the flag, finishing one game ahead of the Pirates and Giants, who tied for second.
 The Braves bounced back into a first place tie with the Giants yes- terday by dumping the Reds twice in Cincinnati, 8-7 and 10-5. The Red s blew a six-run lead in the first game. Eddie Stanky drove in Bobby Sur geoh with the winning run to cli- max four run ninth-inning rally.

and water backing up under the

so apt to happen If the outer edge
of the gutter is below the line o1

If there Is no gutter in your case
the roof may not be steep enough
for proper drainage, or the shingles
may have been put on the roof with
too much of the shingle exposed to
the weather.
A roof that has a low pitch should
be covered with roll-roofing and not

examine your roof. He may con-

or five pounds of calcium chloride

of accumulation should help.
