The occasion marked the resumption of the weekly Guiders classes, and had the additional interest of being in the nature of a wel come to seven Chinese school teachers recently admitted as Guiders.

PROBLEM OF MALARIA.

REPORT OF S.S. ASSOCIATION SUB-COMMITTEE.

The following report has been composed by a sub-committee of the Straits Settle- ments Association appointed to enquire, into the problem of Malaria in the Rochore, Kalang and Geylang districts. The sub-committee consisted of Col. Hope- Falkner, Mesars. F. C. Peck, S. Mutluco- maru and W, Dunman:-

Notwithstanding the character of the above terrain, we are informed that it has been comparatively free from malaria since the year 1911. Consequently, no semi-costly anti-malarial works have been con. sidered necessary in the past. Now, however, the problem has become cute. A sudden increase in the mosquito popu lation has occurred. Anopheles Ludlowi has multiplied: and what is stated to be abnormal for Singapore, a certain proportion of them are conveyip | imalarial infection. ¿

Anti-Malarial Measures,

A complete malaria survey of the grouped districts is now being made.

This will indicate the relative danger of the areas under report for the breed-

of malaria carrying mosquitoes, It must be understood, however, that the breeding capacity of such low lying territory varies with the amount of water available; and is infuenced by such factors as season, rainfall, tides, reclama- tion works and so forth.

Approximately 150 men are now em- played in squide: oiling, draizing, cutting, banding and other work : 1 temporary nature.

Mrs. Southern concluded by saying that she was glad there was such an enthusias tic nucleus from which to work in Hong- kong and Kowloon, and she hoped soon to ace, the Colony one of the strongest outposts of Guiding in the Empire. She added that every Guider might well PILOT RISKS LIFE 25 TIMES. emulate the unflagging devotion and ser vice of the Chief Scout and Chief Guide. A signifcant proof of the international importance of Scouting and Guiding was. the recent Jamboree in Denmark, when the flags of 28 different nations were dipped to Sir Robert Baden-Powell, an honour which no King cr Emperor has received in the history of the world.

Thus the active and potential breeding grounds must be considered as a whole, and deal with together by a carefully worked out scheme.

The preparation on such a scheme will rities. The districts concerned are deve prove an anxious matter for the autho loping rapidly and the sanitary-engineer- ing problems involved are only partially. understood by the experts who are res- popsible.

Needless to say finance must be con sidered. The cost of removing all mosquito breeding places would be very great; and even the expense of reducing them to manageable proportions must be carefully considered.
