DDT of Long Use 1 Definite proof that a DDT spray kills flies, spiders and wasps 10%' months after application has been KT? MVS nvfnnntno AUVIIU airuxsva uj CUJ cAiciwiuii euiuuiuiugui. He sprayed his garage on July 1, 1945, with a single spray applica tion of a 2.5 per cent wettable DDT powder. On May 14, 1946, he found that the insecticide still had the power to kill flies. The DDT spray was applied with a three gallon pressure sprayer on the walls, win dows, doors and on part of the ceil ing. Fifteen minutes later the flies, mosquitoes, spiders and wasps were showing the deadly effects of the DDT. In May this year the exten sionist caught two bluebottle flies, placed them in a jar and put the open mouth of the jar to the wall where DDT had been sprayed 10 V4 months before. Within a few min utes these flies showed visible ef fects of DDT poisoning and within two hours they had died. Street Lighting A poll by the Street and Traffic Safety Lighting Bureau, Cleveland, Ohio, shows that 96 per cent of the police officials replying from cities of 10,000 population and over believe adequate street lighting can reduce the number of traffic accidents and that 71.5 per cent consider their own cities do not have adequate traffic safety lighting. A Utah city cited 9 night traffic fatalities during one year before improved street lights were installed and none in the four years since. A Washington city reported a 73 per cent decrease in traffic fatalities following installa tion of adequate street lighting. In addition to the regular traffic mark ings, the painting of dark walls, bridge railings, fences, etc., with white paint can vastly increase the illumination through light reflection and help to guide and safeguard both motorists and pedestrians.

New Heating Development Assures Warmer Walls Among the new developments in heating which are being discussed today is "warm wall heating." The basic equipment for warm wall heating is similar to that for any modern forced-circulation hot wa ter heating system. It consists of a boiler in a basement or utility room and a pump or circulator for mechanically forcing the water. . In addition ? and this is the dis tinctive feature ? there is a heat exchanger. The pump forces the hot water from the boiler to the heat exchanger. Here the heat from the water is transferred to air. The air then is permitted to circulate be tween the studding of the outside walls of the house, thus warming the inner surfaces of the outside walls. The outer surfaces of the out side walls are well insulated to pre vent neat loss to the outside. The fact that the inside surfaces of the outside walls are warm is said to produce a high degree of comfort. Because the heat is dis tributed over a large area, that is, the entire outside wall of every room, uniform heating and freedom from drafts is produced. Another ad vantage is the quick responsiveness of the system to the demands of the thermostat and changes in out door temperatures. California Coastline Of the 1.065 miles of California coastline, 259 miles arc now public ly owned. The state legislature last year appropriated $10,000,000 to ac quire beaches for purposes of ero sion control and development of ex tensive recreational areas border ing the Pacific. Cities and counties are being allocated this money on a fund-matching basis and are plan ning to put many millions more Into coastal playground projects. New emphasis is being put on the need for such coastal development of rec reation facilities by the war-accel erated increase in California's pop ulation. The war further intensi fied the need for shorelines rehabili tation because preoccupation with wartime activities allowed deteriora tion of some beach areas. Sewage pollution from Los Angeles in 1943, for example, caused quarantine against public use of 10 miles of | excellent recreational beach. Hunter-Ward Wedding Miss Sara Jane Hunter, daugh ter of Mrs. Scott Hunter and ths late Mr. Hunter, was married tc William L Ward, Jr., son of Mr and Mrs. W. L Ward of Graham at 4:30 P.

Find New Vaccines Effective Against Flu Three physicians report that vac cination with virus types A and B will exert a protective effect against epidemic influenza. During an epidemic of influenza B in November and December, 1945, the physicians compared a group of approximately 600 army men, en rolled at the University of Michi gan, who were injected with concen trated influenza A and B vaccine with another service unit which av eraged about 1,100 men who were not vaccinated. Only 7, or 1.15 per cent, of the 600 men were admitted to the hospital for respiratory in fection during the epidemic period in contrast to 109, or 9.91 per cent in the unvaccinated service unit. Influenza is an acute upper-res piratory infection. The symptoms are usually marked by a moderate fever, headache, general pains, ex treme exhaustion, sore throat and an irritating cobgh. It is not fatal except when it leads to secondary pulmonary infections. The virus of influenza A was first isolated in 1933. A second strain of virus called in fluenza B was first identified in the epidemics of 1936 and 1940. Compost Pile The compost pile is an excellent source of garden fertilizer. In start ing one select a well-drained spot away from the house and shielded from a front view by shrubbery or an out building- Drive down four stakes in the form of a rectangle or square. Space the stakes six to eight feet apart and fasten chicken wire or nail slats to these posts, making a pen. The first layer of material to be placed in the pen may be a layer of straw, hay or inverted grass sod. The second may be a few hampers of barnyard manure. The third layer can be weeds and grass clippings that have not gone to seed. The fourth layer may be several shovels of soil. Sprinkle over this layer a few hand fuls of lime or two or three buckets of wood ashes. These layers may be repeated until the pile is as high as you want it. Each time leave the pile concave so it will catch some rain water instead of shedding all of it. If you start your compost heap during a dry spell, add a few buckets of water to each layer. Turn this mixture every six to eight weeks.

Cleaning is the basis of heating plant efficiency. Only a clean heating plant can give its owner a full return on the fuel. Whether the owner cleans the heat ing plant himself, or has a heating contractor do it for him, that's the time to check the system for neces sary repairs and replacements. If it is a band-fired boiler, the grates should be inspected and replaced if they are warped or broken. If the basement is damp, it is ad visable to place some lime in the ash pit and in the combustion cham ber of the boiler. Lime will absorb moisture and prolong the life of the boiler. Boiler doors and dampers should be left open during the lay-up peri od to help prevent sweating on the inside of the boiler during the sum mer. It is a good idea to spray flue furnaces with a light lubricat ing oil. Hinges of doors and mov ing parts of damper regulators, too, i should be oiled. If you have an oil flred or gas-flred boiler, better not try to clean it yourself but have a heating contractor do it. This ap plies especially to the oil burner and the gas burner and also to ? stokers. Don't tinker.

Troublesome Beetles Southern beetle or the spotted cu cumber beetle attack beans only until their favorite weeds get ready and then leave. Usually there is no cause for alarm, but when beans grow slowly the relatively large size of the holes may point the need for doing something about them. But this is simple, merely dusting the top-sides of the leaves with rote TV? ?* ?t- *?. : A us luuiiui ui uie Senear beetle is quite another matter. It feeds only on the lower surfaces of the leaves, never eats through. It ( lays its eggs on the bean foliage, I and its young grow there: if the first generation has not consumed all the plants, a new generation is j started. A sprayer or duster with : an upturned nozzle must be used to [ put the insecticide where feeding is ? done. It should be deadly to insects, but harmless to man. Such is rote none, obtainable as ready - mixed dust or as a concentrate for mak- ' ing liquid spray. Famous Violin Makers The Guarnieri or Guarnerius fam ily of Cremona, Italy, was famous for its fine violin makers and Jo seph. who lived from 1687 until 1745. was the most renowned of all. He was called "'Giuseppe del Gesu" from the inscription I. H. S. (mean ing Jesus) which appears on his violins. Joseph, whose master was Caspar di Salo. produced instru ments of bold outline and massive construction, concentrating on tone rather than perfection of visible form. His experiments to obtain perfect tone resulted in a wide vari ety of violins.
