PAGE TWO CORINTH TAKES Se eeeceeovessooose ON NEW LIFE MOSQUITOES VANQUISH UN. DER NEW SANITARY MEASURES 4 ATHENS, Greece, May 4.—The! ancient city of Corinth has taken} on a new lease of life since Sireapl | criean sanitarians have made the) too uncomfortable for the| anophcles mosquito. Corinth is one of the oldest | cities in Greece. In ancient times, | it was the aris of the old worth, the most luxurious and frivolous! cit¥ of its time. When the Roman| Empire crumbled, Corinth was) overrun by barbarians and for cen- turies was a little more than aj heap, of ruins. Only five years| agoé’the new Corinth was a back- water town of a few thousand in- habitants, notable chiefly for the fact . that every inhabitant had malaria. Then came the influx of refugees, thousands of whom were settled in Corinth and immediate- ly béedme a prey to the malarial mosquito. The Near East Relief was compelled to make use of the Corinth army — barracks. as an orphanage school for 2500 chil- dren,~ Malaria soon attacked them and their American directors and nurses. The “Americans were forced’ to undertake an anti-mosquitg cam- paign, with the Greek government cooperating. Wells and cisterns were covered, swamps were drain- ed. Malaria victims were com- pelled to take treatment at public clinics.’ And now, two years later, the results are apparent. Corinth has 30,000 inhabitants and is growing fast. New buildings are going up on all sides. New pave- ments have been laid and new shops-..opened. _ Industries are booming. Dead Corinth has tak- en on a new lease of life. All as a regilt of the American con- quest/of the mosquito. eeouse eeoeeee er TODAY’S ANNIVERSARIES seco eeeeoeecooeoce 1769—Sir William Lawrence, famous painter, ‘born . inBristol, be age Died in London, Janu- Ko 1830, ne Rhode Island hiade toe: mal declaration of her independ- eneey, two months before the United” States was born. - 4796—Horace Mann, the great of modern educational methods in the United States, es Franklin, Mass.
