Malaria, like dengue, is a

of time.

_; ■—Chairman Adolph J. Sabath,
D., 111., of the House Rules
Committee said today he
didn’t “give a damn” how men
and women in the armed serv-
ices vote, just so they get
chance.
“Candidly, 1 believe that if
President Roosevelt should be
drafted for a fourth them, 76
per cent of the men in the
service would vote for him,”
he added with a smile. * i
“Let them vote. It’s what
they’re fighting for.”
Cabbath plans to introduce
a bill making it mandatory for
the War and Navy Depart-
ments and other agencies to
facilitate absentee voting in
active war theaters.
"And I don’t think for one
moment that anything should
be done to influence then-
vote,” he said.
In that he was joined by
Sen. Theodore F. Green, D,.
R. I., who said he didn’t want
the Office of War Information
to have anything to do with
the soldiers’ vote.
Austin, Tex., Aug. 9.—Ac-
cording to morbidity reports
compiled by the State Health
Department a sharp increase
in the incidence of dengue and
malaria fever has been noted
in Texas in the past four
weeks. Inasmuch as both of
these diseases are disabling
and sometimes fatal, Dr. Geo.
W. Cox, State Healt Officer, is -wsssstf*
urging .every citizen of Texas Austin, Tex.—What is thi

mosquito which is responsible
for transmitting both dengue
and malaria.
"Malaria will continue to
be one of our major public
health problems just as long as
breeding places are accessible
to the female Anopheles,” Dr.
Cox Mated. "It is vitally im-
portant to public health in this
state that every borne by free-
ing their premises from tin
can* or broken bottles, or any
type of rubbish in which water
may stand, so that the propa-
gation at the Anopheles mos-
quito can be chockad.”
Dengue is characterised by
its sudden onset and accom-
panying headache aad pain in
tike back and limbs which baa
caused the disease to be com-
monly known as "break-bone”
fever. The fever is usually of
short duration, hot inasmuch

Mow, the low of time to re-
covery would constitute a
traffic accident?
That value cannot be meas-
ured, State Pplice Director
Homer Garrison said today,
hut the potential productivity
can be measured.
In one year’s time, the 539
persons who were killed in
Texas accidents in the first
six months of this year eonld
have assembled 471 torpedo
bombers.
They could have produced
more than five times as much
of the life-saving sulfa drugs
as ail the armed forces at the
United Nations need.
They could have prepared
116,423,784 cans of Army ra-
tion.
They could have cared for
a flock of 784,950 hens, which
in a year would produce 13,-
000,000 dozen eggs.
