This is the first fire Cotulla
has had in many years. The
town has had an unusually good
fire record. This fire demon-
strated the necessity of a good
water work system and nodoubt
will bring about a modem sys-
tem adaquate for first class
protection. Already a petition
is in circulation asking that the
City Council employ an engi-
neer to work out a modern plan
for a waterwork system and de-
termine the amount of money
necessary to put it in so that a
bodd election can be held.
Do Away With Mosquito
and Malaria Vanishes
It Is estimated that the deaths anna- '
ally front malaria number some two
millions, and this figure may probably
be multiplied by two or three hundred i
If we would arrive at the total num-
ber of people in the world affected bt
the complaint.
Malaria is nut inly a disease of the
troiiics, and is caused by a minute
parasite in the blood. The parasites
in one malaria patient may number
anything from one hundred to a thou-
sand millions, in many cases there
nre more parasites than there are peo- j
pie on the earth, and for ages it was ,
believed that marshes and malaria .
were in some way connected.
Sir Itonald Itoss discovered that it
was not the marsh, but the mosquito ,
which bred in the marsh which was
the originator of the disease, and lie
declares that tin* parasite of malaria
is, to the mosquito which carries it,
as a dime would be to a hippopota-
mus !
When n disease-carrying mosquito
idles, it injects a saliva in which are
the malaria parasites. These are car-
ried into llie human circulatory sys- |
tern and so throughout ttie body.
The cure for malaria is quinine, but
the prevention of malaria is the de-
struction of the mosquito in which it !
breeds.

Old Cornish Tongue

“Nebbuz (ierriau Pro Tho Car-
noaek" was the title of an address de-
livered to tlie members of the London
Cornisli association by Trelawney
Roberts, one of tho few men still able
to speak the old tongue of Cornwall.
Translated these mysterious syllables
emerge as “A Few Words About Corn-
ish.’’
Cornisli, Mr. Roberts pointed out, is
not quite so dead as is usually be-
lieved, and lie produced as evidence a 1

Prince Lucian Bonaparte is responsible
for the legend that Dorothy Pentreath,
who died in 1787, was the last person
who spoke Cornish, u legend that is
perpetuated on her tombstone.
Tiie old lady used to swear at tour-1
ists in Cornish, usually ending with!
tlie words—in discreet Cornish—“Ugly
black toad!” in exchange for the cop-
pers lavished upon tier by tlie visitors.
John Itavey of Zeenor, who did not (lie
until 1801, could speak it fluently.
Ninety per cent of tlie place names
in modern Cornwall show traces of tlie
old language. In spite of tlie profane
achievements of Mistress Pentreath, \
Cornish boasts few oaths. “Cod's |
curse in the kitchen” is regarded as an
alarming expletive.

“MAGNOLIA” — “HOOD”
Do you know Mr. Autoist that the name Mag-
nolia on petrolium products means the same as •
the word “Hood” does on tires and tubes?
If you are using supplies of the “Magnolia”
’ and “Hood” brand you are getting the very
best that scientific research has been able to
produce. We urge you to use these products
and note the difference in the performance of
your car.

Mr. and Mrs L. W. Gaddis re-
turned home last Friday after
an absence of two months in
the West. They spent several F
weeks at Colorado Springs, then ; P
visited Denver, Los Angeles, i p
San Fiancisco and several other p
places. On their tour they! ■
spent three days at the home B
of Mrs. Edgar Keck near Los L
Angeles and also a few days at t
Phoenix, Ariz. with Mr. and MrsP
Peyton Kerr and Mr. and Mrs P
Emmett Stephens. Messers p
Stephens and Kerr are raising ■
cotton in Arizona arid Southern a
California, by irrigation and Mr “
Gaddis said that it had been so
dry out there this year that
water for irrigation was extrem-
ely scarce and unless relief
came soon the crop promised
almost a failure. Mr. Gaddis’
health was greatly improved dur
ing his trip in the West.
