A. Harriman obtained a twenty year lease on the largest concentrat-

ed manganese field in the world, which is located in the Chiatouri district of Western Georgia, near the Black Sea. Internal politics have been quiet in R’.tsffiia druing 1925. In January the dominant group in the Communist Party Central Committee signalized its victory over Trotzky by removing him from the post of War Commissar, which he had held since the early days of the Revolution. Some of Trotzky’s more bitter opponent!* at this time advocated his complete exclusion from the Central Committee; but more moderate counsels prevailed and Trotzky, who had Iw-'ii convalescing in a Caucasion h-.ilih resort, returned to Moscow in May to receive a triple appointment as head of the scientific-technical department of the Supreme Economic Council, head of the Concession* Committee and head of the stat-

trust which supervises the buildii ' of new Russian electrical plants None of these posts carried Cabinet rank and none of them p« sed very great significance before Trotzky’s appointment; but th. former Soviet War Lord, with his dynamic energy, succeded in focussing the attention of the country upon 1schemes) for eledtrical development and still more upon his vigorous campaign for improved quality in industrial production. It is ib'-f possible that he may receive a 1 er appointment, most probably in t Infield of economic administration, m the future. Meanwhile the politic..! leadership of the Communist Party and hence, of the Soviet Governin't> rests securely in the hands of a

group of old Bobthevlksfi of whom perhaps the most forceful character 'is the Party Secretary, Stalin.

'■-•r-.r’ I Tt - - . ' ,r "*S • » making malaria O,u rnEDERICK ». GRttCl MUor «f ■'HEALTH** ALARIa Is one of the oldest of human diseases. Like most human Ills, ft wa» well |- nown t 0 old Greeks four or five thousand years agu- They knew ail about It, except «liat caused It, bow to prevent It and how to cure IL They, like the Unmans later on, paid the penalty for their Ignorance, for It was probably malaria, brought from Asia and Africa to Athens and Rome by the slaves and captives taken by their victorious armies, that sapped their strength as a nation, so that they were conquered and overrun by

the husky Gauls and Huns from northern Europe. All through the Middle ages, malaria was common and widespread. It wiped out many of the exploring parties of earlier days. It killed thousands and Incapacitated hundreds of thousands In the tropics. It has always prevailed in our southern states. It was very common during the years when our central and western states were being settled. With Its close friend, yellow fever, It prevented for years, the building of the Panama canal. It kept thousands of men and women In a continual state of Invalidism, where they couldn’t work because they were too ill and weak and so gradually drifted into “shiftlessness.”

Today, thunks to Lavaran, Manson, Ross and Bass, we know all about it. It Is caused by a minute germ In the blood, which can be killed by quinine and arsenic. It can only be taken through the bite of a certain kind of mosquito. Mosquitoes can only breed In stagnant water, generally near the house of the victim. Now you can’t go gunning for mosquitoes with a cannon, or a shotgun or a rifle. But you can prevent them from breeding by destroying their breeding places. The female mosquito ; lays her eggs In any little pool of stagnant water, swamps, ponds, roadside puddles. Even a few teaspoonfuls of water in an old tin can or broken jar are just what Mrs. Mosquito Is lookI lug for. Pop go her eggs Into the I water and, In a few days, buzz come , hundreds of baby Skeeters. I Swamps and most ponds are natural, but most mosquito breeding places are man made and are due to the ignorance or laziness of somebody. General Carter of the United States public health service says that three-

fourths of the malaria In the South Is 1 due to mosquitoes hatched lu artificial breeding places. One of the most com- I mon sources are the gutters and pud- I dies left along the sides of new roads. I So the federal highways act, and many I of the state laws require that all I holes or depressions along a new road I must be filled or drained. I Good roads are a necessity today. I They are transforming country life. I But, while building good roads, be I careful that you don’t build mosquito I nurseries. (ffi. 1925, Western Newspaper Union.)

'Movies And Toy Trains (•Red In Auto Drivers’ Tests In Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Dec. ir.t. (United Pi.'sn> — Special laboratory t* tn to determine B < hautteur'a ability to drive aaf' ly, and given under conditions that jeopardize neither life nor property, have been devised by the t*sy< holoyy Department nt the University of Penn. Hiylvunia hero. The tests do not cover details of motor car operation, but measure with a maximum of accuracy a driver's Judgment of speed and distance, tils ability to think and act quickly, and his coolness in emergencies. The apparatus employed includes a minature electric* railway, a projecting camera, a signal light system, and a

driver’s seat, flanked by levers approximating those totted in controlling an automobile. The first phase* of lhe tost involves the opt ration of two cars on the electric railway. Ono car runs continually at varying rates of speed. From his drivers seat, which commands a view of the entire railway trackage, the text subject operates a lever which controls the movements of the second ear. The tracks are arranged so that the ears are certain to cross at various Intervals. In addition, there are a number of sharp turns to Is* nego- ' Hated. The success with which the various traffic hazards are met are determined

by the subjects judgment in starting, stopping and controlling the speed of his car. On this basis is measured the chauffeur's ability to measure distance* and estimate speed of moving objects, as well as his tendency toward “taking chances." In the second phase, the driver, with hand and foot pedals, faces a battery of electrically controlled signals, all of which call for different movements on his part. In the third phase, pictures showing an automobile in various traffic situations are projected, the driver would pursue under the circumstances. * The light test is designed to appraise the driver's reaction to suddenly projected situations, while the photo graphs are employed to determine his reaction under actual driving conditions. A taxicab company which has experimented some time with the tests lias now adopted them as part of re-
