WORLD BENEFACTOR FAES GREAT NEED Sir Ronald Ross Saved Many People From Malaria | | London, Nov. 9 (®—In a modest flat in southwest London lives an aged scientist whose work helped to save many thousands of human lives from malaria, yet whose own au- § tumn time of life is shadowed by pel - 4 — - — b impending want. i N 5 He is Sir Ronald Ross, 30 years| ago one of the men who, discovered | that malaria is carried by mosqui- | toes. This discovery was one of 'hei . starting points of General Gorgas' S work in stamping out fever which menace the success of construction | of the Panama Canal. | At the age of 71, with the use of one arm gone, Sir Ronal is afflicted Wwith serious illness. To get money he has offered for sale his archives covering 30 years of malaria re- search | They fill a big chest of stesl drawers that dominates one room of his tiny flat. They are packed with private papers, note books and cor- | respondence. The price asked is $10,- | 000. | When in good health, Sir Ronald | earns his living at the hospital for | tropical diseases, walking there from | his home every morning, wet wea- ther and fine. - Sir Ronald would rather talk about his life work against malaria than of himself and how, having < suspected the mosquito and exam- . ined it under the microscope, he | found bodies in its actual tissues. In those bodies he found pigment, and the mosquito’s cells do not have pl‘-J ment. Slowly he completed the life cycle of those parasite bad'as, prove ing them to be malaria gerus. As he talked of bis subsequent visits to the tropics on anti-malaria | _ crusades an interviewer asked: “Would you, if you could have anticipated how you wold be re- warded, have lived your life in iny | other way?" He answered simply, "I want to g0 out again to carry on my work.’ 3 The only public reward which Sir § Ronald has roceived is a title, given him by his king.
