“MOSQUITO DRIVE

§ Warns of Malari Malaria okie

Unless Breeding Places “Are Wiped Out.

To prevent a possible epidemic of malaria, simple methods of mosquito control were outlined today by Dr. Thurman B. Rice, state health commissioner. He said he was “alarmed at the great increase in breeding places

caused by the floods and the pres“ence of increased numbers of per-

sons suffering from malaria in the

state.” To get rid of breeding places, Dr. Rice said, property-owners should

drain pools by digging a ditch/ through which the water can drain|-

into a nearby stream gr larger body of water. If small enough, the pool can be filled with ashes or dirt in~ Stead. 2 Oil Coating Helps

Another effective method is by oiling pond surfaces, using kerosene mixed with oil drainings from cars. A thin coating is best. Common insecticides may be used also. Bedrooms should be examined carefully before householders refire. Potential breeding places “should pe eliminated such as flower vases in which the water has not béen changed, unused wash tubs and tin cans lying around outside.

In Indiana there are two types !

of mosquitos which are dangerous, one transmitting malaria, the other yellow fever, Dr. Rice explained.

Early Start Urged

“The first is particularly dangerous this year, since there are cases of malaria in the state—some among permanent residents, other among wounded Vorruns, war prisoners and imported 1 | “Mosquitos are d Dot so long as there. are diseases present . for them to transmit. They will be particularly bad in August unless we get busy and kill as many of them as we can reach now.” Screen doors on houses should open out, to keep the insects, from being swept into the house. Fish ponds are not dangerous if efiough fish are kept in them. Big ponds should be sprayed at the margin where there is vegetation and partial shade.

LEAGUE OF LEADERS SOUGHT BY HOOVER

| NEW YORK, June 4 (U. P.).— Former President Herbert Hoover , wrote in Collier's magazine today ‘that the world will. need a league of leaders named by leading allied nations—a so-called “regency”—to engineer the transition from war to peace. , ‘The regency, “trustees of peace,” would have power to maintain arder, through force if necessary,

of free government in liberated and enemy nations. They would be pledged to develop “the solutions of the long-view questions and finally to develop some sort of ‘world institution’ to : take their place in the preservation of peace.” Hoover fLollaborated in the article with Hugh Gibson, his assistant as director of European relief in 1918 and 1919. They said membership ‘in the league of leaders must by necessity be confined to the leading powers and should be limited to a term of five to 10 years after the conditional peace. Membership

Information Ready.

By HELEN 'RUEGAMER -

A place to rest and relax,” someone to give advice when it is needed, a friendly girl or a motherly woman to talk te, and music- and books for entertainment-—that’s just about all any soldier or sailor on leave could ask. And Indianapolis now has one more place where all of this makes the men and wemen in uniform feel at home when (they come to town. It’s the new “trouble-shooter” service center at 23 S. Illinois st. sponsored by the local chapter of the American: Women’s Voluntary Services. Greeted by Hostesses

The “Welcome” sign in the window is matched by the “glad to see you” smiles from the AWVS hostesses who greet the uniformed men and women when they enter. The lounge is furnished with corhfortable maple furniture, lamps, a radio, piano, victrola, books and magazines. On a balcony the service

a small room has been set aside where the WAACs and WAVES can freshen up. Although most of the visitors drop in just to look around, talk and relax, the AWVS women are ready to offer advice or assistance of any kind. * They can give complete travel information for plane, train or bus to any part of the country. They will sew on chevrons and mend uniforms. They offer gift suggestions for wives, sweethearts and mothers; and fhen they wrap gifts. They may

Your Health in Wartime

Sore Throat Symptoms in Children Often Misleading

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS

The first symptom of a sore throat with children is frequently and misleadingly not a sore throat. It often begins rather suddenly with vague indisposition, distate for food, nausea, and even vomiting. Or, more dramatically still, the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

first symptom may be a temperature of 103 degrees to 105 degrees, |

accompanied: by slight sensations of chill. Despite the fact that a child does not appear acutely ill, parents often become alarmed, and git frantically re - port the phenomena to a physici a n, tf whose duty it is : to - weigh the : evidence in ¢ ‘hand, -and advise upon it. All these symptoms may precede the de- § velopment of Dr, Masters the sore throat 2 by as much as 24 hours. Inspection of the throat, however, will usually show the tonsils of the child to be red and enlarged, ‘and feeling the neck will reveal the presence of many firm nodules about the size of a lima bean or even larger scattered along the sides of the neck.” These nodules are active lymph glands. Infections Are Common

These infections are most com‘mon in childhood, and with some children recur at frequent intervals. They come for the most part in late winter and early spring, reaching their peak along in March. : They have three possible origins: They may come as the result of infection brought in from the outside by contact with others. ‘They may be part of an epidemic borne by some medium like milk. Or they may be repetition of the same infection lying

TOP OIL MEN END ARMY ‘TRAINING"

‘FT. BELVOIR, Va, June 4 (U. P.),—A group of the nation’s top

oil executives and their soldier hosts —after sharing 26 hours of army life—have parted: company with mutual admiration and respect. The .72 oil men who underwent rookie training at the Ft. Belvoir engineering training replacement center were dog-tired as they boarded a train for Washington. However, they were still game. William R. Boyd, chairman of the petroleum industry war council, said: “I am not alluding to my aching muscles when I say this visit has left me with something marked and deep. “Living like a private is an experience which executives of all big industries should have. They should bring steel, coal, automctive and every ‘other type of businessmen down Kere and give them a taste of this.”

dormant in the tonsils, flaring up . when the child’s resistance is depressed by fatigue, exposure, etc. The entrance to the alimentary and respiratory passages (the throat) is surrounded by clumps of lymphatic tissue. The adenoids and tonsils are the chief groups of these. The chief function of these structures is to block infection from entering the system. In so doing, they often get the worst of the battle. Any infection that slips by these sentries is carried to the lymph glands in the neck, and for. that reason the swellings mentioned above occur there.

Rest Is Advised

The treatment for this familiar picture calls for bed Test, complete and prolonged—as much as 24 to 48 hours after the fever has subsided. An ice bag applied to the neck will alleviate the sometimes extreme discomfort of sore throat. The mouth should be kept clean with salt solution used as a mouth wash, or irrigations with warm salt solution. (The solution should be one teaspoonful of table salt to one quart of water.) A physician should be informed of the situation, and he may advise the proper dose of one of the sulfonomides, with almost complete assurance of preventing any complication and often prompt and remarkable clearing of symptoms and shortening of the illness’ course.

War-Time Living Autumnal Hat Fashions

Face Curtailment by WPB

By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writer ‘WASHINGTON, June 4.—It's still a military secret, but: there’ll be some changes made in the autumn hat styles after industry experts and WPB have put their heads together on further simplifications. There’ll probably be new limits on brim widths, circumferences, crown heights. There’ll be more conservation in straw braid, in width fof ribbon trim. Snoods, hangdowns’ and scarfs may be reduced in area. Veiling looms, now af converted to make camou- 5 flage for guns, and not for shiny noses, won't be turning out so much netting for autumn bonnets. And berets, popularized by Gen. Montgomery’s saucy style headgear, will be curtailed by restrictions in’ circumference and, diameter this autumn, according to present indications. ” # »

‘Put Party Politics Away’

Regarding businessmen in publie office, Mr. Hanley said: “I do not understand. how businessmen any longer can vote Republican and Democratic and kill each other's votes. There must be no off-setting of votes. “We must put party politics away, Our only hope is that public offices will be filled by responsible officials, If that means that responsible busi= nessmen must become ward chaire men and precinct committeemen, then let's do it. “Step out and take a part.
