The greatest problem remains the fight against malaria.

The romantic story of the dis- covery that mosquitoes were car- riers of malaria is so well known that many people assume that there must be some cure which is equally well known and equally ethicacious, But during the 1934-3 outbreak in Ceylon the) Government spent £350,000 in treatment and preventive mea- sure. Mauritius, an island with no more than 400,000 inhabi tants, has spent well over three million rupees in the past twenty five years in combating the dis-

It is estimated that three and
a half million people die from malaria every year, and most of these deaths occur in the British Empire,

The shooting at this member was all the more noteworthy for the way fr which it improved as the dis- tance became greater, and although his very fine score of 33 at 600 yards was equalled by one other member using the "1914" rife, the fact remains that under the rew gulations now in force. the score of Fus. Richards would have been given priority in any other com- petition open to both 3.R. (a) and E.R. (b) rifles.
Just a week ago, as we informed our readers, the individual full membership had reached a total of 401, and we now understand that the revised figure to-day is 452; in other words, there has been an average increase in full mem- bership of over seven per day dur- ing the last week.
