MJkUi MUST BE CONTROLLED That malaria has laid a heavy burden upon the health and pros perity of the southern states In the past and that Its depressing effects upon the health, happiness and wel fare of the people are still felt In many sections of the South was the conclusions reached by prominent southern physicians and health of ficials at the recent meeting of the Southern Medical Association In Chattanooga, Tennessee. The fact that the Southern Medi cal Association, which devotes its time and thought to the considera tion of making people well and keep ing them so, should have given such prominence to malaria at Its last annual meeting Is sufficient evidence of the importance of malaria to the people of the South. At this meeting malaria was dis cussed from various angles. The State Health Officer of Alabama re ported the successful employment and wide distribution of top-min nows (Uambusla) throughout the state In destroying malaria-Mosqui to larvae. Another Interesting re port dealt with the employment of Parle green on an extensive scale as a mosquito larviclde around Lake City, Florida. Apparently a very small quantity of Paris green mixed with road dust and thrown on the surface of the water will kill wiggle tails of the malaria mosquito effect ively. Observations made In Yazoo County. Mississippi, seem to Indi cate that a generous application of creosote to the walls of negro cabins will keep the malaria mosquitoes away. If this observation proves to be correct it will mean much in the fight against malaria because It Is Impossible to screen cabins of this type and heretofore they have (teen given up as a hopeless proposition. The discussions at these meetings Indicate that the fight against ma laria will be carried Into the rural districts In the near future, and It Is expected that many of the state health officers in the South will un dertake rural malaria control next year as a part of their county-wide health programs.

A French transatlantic steamship company was the first to experiment with the radiogoniometer Invented by Belt Ini and Tool. By means of this apparatus the direction of an invisible vessel, sailing along a coast and emitting wireless signals, can be de termined frm two stations on the shore and its course can be accurately mapped. Conversely, a vessel fur nished with a radiogoniometer can determine Its place near a coast hy observing the directions of the waves coming from two wireless stations on the shore, and can thus make Its way In a fog when the coast lights are In visible.
