November 30, 1928 WILMETTE LIFE 19 . Illinois Leads Way · in Battle to Drive Away the Mosquito That the state of Illinois is looked upon ~s a leader in warfare against mosquitoes, as it is also in road-building, was revealed by a report of Superintendent William Edwards to the monthly meeting of the North Shore Mosquito Abatement district last N' on day evening. Superintendent Edwards attended the twenty-second annual meeting of the Southern Medical Association at .-\sheville, North Carolina, November 12 to 15, inclusive. The importance which physicians attach to the eradication of mosquitoes was evidenced by the large number of official'\ from state and county boards of health and mosquito abatement districts who were invited to meet with the Southern Medical association and the devotion of much of the ti~e of the convention to discussion of the mosquito pest, his effect on health and the best method of getting rid of him. The Illinois mosquito abatement law was beld up as a model of its kind; and was proclaimed by the physicians, state and municipal health officers as a great forward step in the movement Superintendent Edwards reported. ' In the south, particularly, he said, there has been so much work of this character, but it has been done in a haphazard sort of way, without accomplishing the material results which ensue, \vhen states, like Illinois, have e nacted laws which permit the organization of ~fo squ ito Abatement districts , with finances to carry out plans to a successful conclusion. Amcng the many prom.i ntnt speakas at the convention, were such leaders as Dr. L. \V . Hackett oi the Rockefeller Foundation in Rome. who presented an inter esting paper on "The difference s in the habits of mos:1uitoes which tran smit malaria in :\merica, Europe, and in the Far East."
