MOSQUITO CONTROL IN FLORIDA 
A very valuable bulletin has just been published by the Flor- 
ida State Board of Health. -It is entitled ‘“Mosquitoes and Mos- 
quito Control,” by Geo. W. Simons and Geo. F. Mosnette. 
In a recent publication of the Russell Sage Foundation, “‘Sur- 
vey of Florida County Jails,” by B. C. Riley of the General Ex- 
tension Division, University of Florida, the statement is made 
that “only half the jails have any screens.” This is indeed a 
deplorable and dangerous condition of affairs. Not only is an 
unscreened jail a cruel injustice to the prisoners but also a con- 
stant menace to the health of the community in which it is sit- 
uated. It could easily serve as a center of infection from which 
malaria might spread over the town.
