Yellow Fever Scourge Being Eradicated Blooniington, In<L, Feb. 11.?Yellow fever, the scourge of South America for centuries, has been eradicated from Cuayaqun on the coast of Ecuador, according to an announcement received here by Dr. Carl H. Eigenmain, head of the department of zoology of Indiana University and an authority in South American fishes, from the Sanitary Commission of Ecuador. The announcement was accompanied by specimens of little fishes discovered f<>r the prevention of the disease, with : request that they be classified and that information be given from data lollocted in various ^ndiana University expeditions to South America as where these fishes arc to be found. The fishes have been identified and detailed information has been forwarded which will enable other South American countries to locate the fishes and use them in dealing death to the yellow fever mosquito. Yellow fever is carried from ouc person to another by a mosquito whicfc lives in the barrels in which the natives of South America keep theii drinking water. Each family has kepi its own supply of yellow fever car riers, so to speak, and many time; ports of the west coast have beer losed against ships on account of out breaks of yellow fever. Recently th? Sanitary Commission of Ecuador be gan experiments with various tishe: which would eat the mosquitoes in th> barrels. Some fishes ate the "wig gl rs," which develop into mosquitoes and it was found that two f\sh?s railed "chalacos ' and "huaijas" \.y the natives, did the work effectively. The "chalacos" is found evervwheV' along the tropical part of the Pacir coast and will be available for nio*quito control along with the entir< danger zone from IVru to California. Others of the same species is foun< n similar situations over ehe cntin danger zone in the West Indies am hot Atlantic coast. The second specie?, called "huaijas" would he even better able to contro the situation than the "chalacos" if j did not have the habit of jumpin, out of the barrels. This fish is cor fined to fresh water from Central Ecu ador to Central Peru, according t' the records of the Indiana University expeditions. Trying to Penetrate The Mysteries of Creatior Pasadena, Cal., Feb. 11.?Creatioi of cosmic crucibles similar to the ncv theory of stars out of which priordia matter is developed is planned hen by utilization of high potentials up wards of a million volts in a series oi laboratories building1 here under di rection of Dr. Robert A. Millikan, wh( isolated the electron. One of the unit: of these laboratories was just dedi cated in opening of the Norm*i Fridge Laboratory of Physics. Th< final unit soon to be erected, will b< the efcctricnl laboratory. A trinity of sciences, physics, chvm istry and astronomy, will, according U Dr. Millikan, unite in an effort to pen etratc the deepest of mysteries, th< creation of the earth. The famous astrophysicnl laboratory on Mounl Wilson of the Carnegie institution, o1 which Dr. George E. Hale is director tin- Gates chemical laboratory of tht California Institute of Technology, ol which Dr. Arthur A. N'oyes is director, and the new physics laboratorj of which Dr. Millikan is director, will approach the subject from their respective fields. "A part of the program from tin standpoint of physics," .said Dr. Millikan. "involves the use of tremendously high potentials which furnish the only possible means of bringing to bear here on the surface of the earth c.ch enormously concentrated ener pies as it is presumably subjected to n the stars. "The facilities which are cfTered here for the attack upon some of these most fundamental of all human problems are perhaps unequaled anywhere in the world," he said referring to the three laboratories. Consumption of Intoxicants In Sweden Decreasing Stockholm, Feb. 10.?The consumption of intoxicating liquors in Sweden has been reduced nearly f>0 per cent incc the beginning of 1914 when Swedt n's liquor rationing system went into effect. This is shown by the Intest official reports which state that the reduction took place without absolutely excluding anyone from the use of alcoholic stimulants except those who abused the law by drinking to excess. Under the Swedish rationing system individuals are given cards upon which they can obtain a given amount t f distilled liquor or wines. The maximum amount allowed to any individual is about seven and one-half points per month and this is allowed to marlied men. Married women receive no allowance except from their husbands' cards, while unmarried women receive as low as one and one-half pointa per ?I. rv_ - -> --------- luoniti. v/n spwcmi occasions sucn as weddings or festivities these allowances nre increased if requested. The rationing cards are revoked in the ease of individuals convicted of drunkenness. The official report states that the number of inebrites whose licenses have ben taken away have decreased enormously. In 1913 the number of inebriates who lost 'heir licenses to buy intoxicants was 60.42 persons per thousand; while in 1921 only 16.53 persons per thousand were found gnilty of drunkenness. The consumption of distilled liquors in Sweden in 1913 amcunted to 8,641,048 liters, a liter being a trifle less than two pints. In 1921 the Swedish people used 4,920,400 liters. Meantime the population has increased from 6,750,000 to (5,000,000. . . . jol Mexico May Go Dry ptr _ ?h Mexico City, Feb. 10.?The "wets" in Mexico are frankly alarmed. They 1 say there is a real possibility that Mexico City, at least, may go "dry" before the end of the year and that if la so, the next step would be to make the entire republic arid of alcoholic beverages. President Obregon does not soy that he is a prohibitionist but within or the past few months he has Riven his st unqualified support to certain legal measures which aim to cut down drinking and eventually to put inj toxicants under the ban. Saloons, clubs and cantinas have. , , ! n i been put under more rigid restric. tions and, only a few weeks ago, a , presidential decree increased the federal revenue tax on alcoholic drinks f , 100 percent. There are many rumors . that these taxes will be automatical1 |-j ly increased until they become pro. hibitive. r ( II ^ Nationwide protest was heard sev-1 ^ eral days ago when the newspapers | . said that President Obregon conteni- j j plated issuing a decree forbidding the planting and cultivation of the' ? 1 maguey plant which is the basic in-' ^ gredient of the most popular native! ^ . drinks. ! , The maguey, which is a species of cactus, must be replanted every seven ^ years and a decree prohibiting its i ^ cultivation would mean its extermin- j . ation and with it the elimination of! * P tequila, mescal and pulque, drinks of p , undisputed potency. , j , Planters of muguey rushed num- j . erous petitions to President Obregon jj , pointing out that the plant is a part of the agricultural wealth of the na- ^ j tion in that it produces a valuable c 2 fibre, sugar, a base for paper and a! o j medicine that is said to be a specific j (j for kidney disease. It was also said r * that its spines, treated by an inox-1 t, j pensive process, make cheap and ex-; a t cellent phonograph needles. F President Obregon has not yet is- j sued the decree?-but the planters I s are still worried and so are certain i r ^ other persons. ' r The "wets" have held numerous J s meetings within the past few weeks i to organize their campaign against j j, prohibition. c, t Secretary of Interior Calles is com- ^ ing in for a large share of the eriti j cism for the "dry" wave, as he was a ( staunch "bone dry" advocate long be- a j fore ho left the state of Sonora to v e take a cabinet position. Secretary of j the Treasury de la Huerta is also a' ft ^ prohibitionist. j r * Stock Grower* Get Assistance a The following has been received for J1 i publication from the South Carolina , ? Cooperative Live Stock association: *" * The South Carolina Cooperative! . Live Stock association will supply a , much needed relief and assistance to I . the stock growers of this state. Forj 0 > the first time in history our govern-) t, , ment has seen fit to come to the finan- j a I eial assistance nnd aid of the stock i \ f growers. ! His has indeed been a lone fight in | s . the past, and still in the present. The! t p majority of the banks do not con-: . sider liv.j stock good collateral. The j, . few that do give it any.consideration s I at all do not extend their loans over' ^ , "0 per rent of the value of the live} ^ stock ofFered as security. Now the! p , government has at last extended a a holninrr h.inrl Tt ri*n n/if K*. -- ?V -v. c; for not recognizing tho industry in p , the past asthe venture was too risky.! t. It would have had to depart from its sound business methods to have done ? so- j h There has at last been an act pass- e, ?d tl-.at makes it possible for a live | v stock grower to obtain very liberal. VJ loans on his stock. Although the, j. war finance corporation, from which! |r this assistance can be had, does not; a] recognize the individual live stock jr grower, it does recognize an associa-: ^ tion of growers. The South Carolina Cooperative Cf Live Stock association has been form-; ed according to the requirements of w the laws laid down by this net. By JH being a member of this association j*{| a grower in privileged to receive or! borrow from two-thirds to three-J ,,j fourths of the market value of his live stock. The money thus obtained \ sj, can b<> expended in enlarging the: herd, fattening, breeding and orderly co marketing, and, in fact, in any way %v, that applies to this particular indus-' ?u try. no Thus the members of this associa-1 CQ tion will bring thousands upon thous-1 ^ ands of dollars into the state, Thisj st is going to put new life into the veins; of the industry instead of letting itj smash on the breakers of a demoral-; . ^ ized market, ' ^ With the assistance offerer! by thej ^ association the live stock industry; , " ' f;c should grow as it will bring about a 1 condition that would eliminate the! ^y speculator and give the producer n| j.^ chance to market his live stock order-' ly and at a time when a justifiable' price can he obtained. j The grower must do his part. The; J government has offered to meet him' half way. If the grower grasps the [ opportunity that is offered him, pros-j ?s rerity will take the place of poverty. , The exercise of pood judgment by the stockmen of this state will make a landmark in its history. at m - an The greatest home-owning city of OO any of the 30 largest cities in the12,0 United States is Toledo, Ohio, accord- *b< inp to reports.

Allen town, Pn., is R ontinuing all public work regardless n f weather conditions, and a special v rive has been made to remodel store t ronts in order to give work to build- c rs. A "cheap homes" campaign hasj t ,lso stimulated employment andj t olved the housing problem. n Pittsfu-ld, Mass., has a ' 'flying j, hovel squadron" which reports imnedintely to any citizen who telephones and clears the snow from h;s idewalk in a jiffy. i ^ Fort Dodge, la., reports that job-!

Thomas Lemsett and Ezra Dag- ( ctt of New York, succeeded in 1825 f i canning or packing in a crude wav ^ almon, lobsters and oysters. In Bos- ^ on William Underwood and Charles litchell, using heat, sticccedcd in 8 acking damsons, quinces, cranberries & nd currents. Up until this time the s mining of food, one of the most im- ^ ortant industries of present civiliza- v on, was unknown. Credit for the discovery of th<-j ^ lethod of keeping perishable goods by - ' eat and sealing in air-tight contain-; * rs, h<Twever, belongs to a Frenchman/ ^ icholas Appert. Appert, taking ad-; r<ntage of nn offer by Napoleon of 3,000 francs for the discovery of a lethod of preserving food for his rmy, began experiments that, nfter a. ? years, resulted in the discovery tat food could be preserved by using sat and putting the product in sealed! ntainers. The. theory of the process, however/ as unknown to Appert and it was; >t until the time Louis Fasteur, the imous bacteriologist, discovered bac-, ria that the scientific basis of canng was understood. Frof. H. L. Russell of the Univer- M ly of Wisconsin, using Pasteur's disvery, found in 1895 that the spoilage rtain pea canners were experiencing If is due to bacteria. Higher tempera- R re of sterilization was found to be cessary. Frof. Russell's work was . ntinucd by Frof. Prescott and Prof, nderwood of the Massachusetts Initute of Technology. Canning of oysters was begun in tltimorc in 1840 and the following Ofiyenr the sardine industry had its "1 rth in Maine. The Pacific Coast. C< wever, did not enter the canning id until 1856. However it was not until the Civil ar that, a canning factory was estabhed. Canned good, which formed the incipnl rations of the nrmies in the arid War, obviated the necessity of Idiers at the front going without "" >d for several days nt a time, such had been the case in earlier wars, was pointed out at the convention. I The war department, during the ^ sr and a half the United States was war, purchased for the American d Allied Expeditionary Forces 30,- ? 0,000 cases of canned vegetables and 00,000 coses of canned fruits, it was own. The artnual output of canhed foods, wording to the Census bureau, ex- ? ?ds $800,000,0(k> in.raftue. . ?? "A Daughter of the Sun" St Way back in the seventies Mark vain made a trip to the Hawaiian lands and the benefit of hla trip ^ ere is amply set forth in his book ^ touching It."

New National Monument ' By a proclamation of President Har- ^ ing, signed January 24, a 593-aere raet in the Nevada National Forest /as set aside as the Lehman Caves t lational Monument. For 25 years C hese caves have been known locally, F nd for some time individuals have J ecu trying to gain control of them. V ut the action of the chief executive 1 ctains them safely for all the people I nd prevents the destruction of the J nany objects of scenic and scientific p alue. The area remains a part of F he national fortst, but the monumhnt 1 nil he used for no purposes that in- * erfere wtih its preservation as a na- c ional monument. It is the eleventh C ational monument to be established J n a national .forest and the first one | n .Nevada. p The act providing for the prcserva- C ion of such aiyas, that of June 8, J POfi, authorizes the president, in his E iscretion, to declare by public procla- F nation to be national monuments his- E oric landmarks, historic and prehis- / uric structures,,and other objects of V istoric or sciejttifi interest that are J ituated upon lands owned or con- F rolled by the Government.
