It has been approved by the league's malaria commission representing all the vari ous schools of maiariology. The world's governments should pool their knowledge of malaria even more than previously, the survey states. Some strains of malaria are virulent In one country and mild In another, thus making it essential to study malaria on international lines, It is added. The league, which has studied In relation to malaria, specifies require ment and conditions whereby a house may be a defense from an Infection and not an exposure to malaria.

They base their prediction on the behavior of sun spots. Growing in sir.e and Intensity, the spots are being studied carefully by ft»e astronomers. They are approach ing what is known as s maximum sun spot period, and as they grow larger they will begin to bring troubles and blessings In their wake, the astrono mers claim. The maximum period will be In 1938 or 1939, according to A. B. Meggett, of Deer lodge, one of the astronomers participating In the study.
