Money Saved By Storing
Winter Clothes Carefuliy
Barm women are reminded by
Miss Willie llunter, Extension clothing
specialist , of State College,
that careful storage of winter cloth
' ing will reduce expenses next fall
A coat, a dross, a sweater, or other
articles of clothing can easily be
ruined in one warm weather period
by moths and other Insects, She
declared.
A pound of napthalene or paradichlorobenzene
crystals, scattered
between thin layers of paper and
placed at: intervals in the clothing
In a tight box or trunk will destroy
and Insects that may be present,
Miss Hunter says. The chemicals
are equally as effective for control
of clothes moths and carpet beetles.
All articles to be stored should
first be thoroughly cleaner!, brushed '
aired and sunned to get rid of any .
stray eggs or larvae of the insects. (
In a closet that is kept tightly closed.
a pound of either chemical to a- j
bout 100 feet of closet space prevents
Infestation. The iurvoe of the
insect causes damage to clothing I
and furnishings containing wool t
hair, bristles, fur. feathers and oth- I
cr aniiual substances. I
The Extension specialist says it I
is easier to' prevent carpet beetles <
and other Insects than to kill them i
after trey have Infested a room or 1
closet. In the routine of good house
keeping, rugs should be cleaned fre I
uuently on both sides to get rid of ]
carpet beetles. Filling floor cracks <
with a good filler. eliminates hiding l
places aud makes housekeeping sim '
pier., i
An article of clothing properly I
stored means money saved. Miss '
Hunter declared, and with living (
costs mounting because of the De
fense Program it is important that t
every dollar be saved in both the ]
rural and the urban borne.

Labor "Runners"
Arrested
ltALiKIUll. ? Three labor 'run
ners. w.ere arresiea auer muinigm
recently iu the Wallace strawberry
area, on charges of recruiting pickers
without license for employment
outside the Slate.
Evidence has been secured in sev
eral other cases In which outside
runners" have been engaged iu soliciting
North Carolina labor, partit
itlarly strawberry pickers, it Is revealed
by 0. \V. E. Flttman, Paint
t'laceinent Supervisor, operating uu
tier the Employment Service Division
of the State UCC.
North Carolina, by statute, prohibits
the soliciting of labor for
work outside the State, unless it is
dorfe through the reguthrly established
governmental agency. the
Employment Service, by means ot
its clearance system. The State law
requires that an out-of-state employ
tr, even though recruiting labor for
itis own use, shall pay a license fee
of $500 for each county In which re
cruUlng is done, while municipalities
may also charge h license fee.
Nearly all states have similar
statutes - against recruiting labor
within their borders, by means ot a
prohibitive license fee for such activity.
Mr. Plttman points out.
Strawberry growers In the Walace
and Chadburn areas have found
out In the last week or two that
when the man of the house Is draw
lug good wages In camfo %wd fort
construction work, then the wife
ind children will not pick strawber
ries for pay. Few of the growers
lave enough pickers and some have
,-ery few. The result is that berries
ire over-ripe or are rottlnR in many
lelds.
The maturity of the Virginia crop
las added a strong competitive fucor
to an already short labor martet.
In past ypars. Virginia growers
tave relied heavily on North Caroina
labor for their harvest. How?ver.
this year, not enough labor is
available for the North Carolina
larvest. i
This scarcity of farm labor ^ exenslve
in Virginia, Maryland, and
Vew Jersey, as well as In North Car
>llna, and has added impetus to the
judosirable labor runner activities.
These runners recruit labor in one
*rua and 'sell" workers to growers
in another area at so much a head.
The arrests indicate the decision of
growers in the strawberry areas to
itop the unlawful transporting of
their workers to other states, Mr.
Plttman states.

While the breakfastless journal- t

she called, giving the girl
a wink, "here's a friend of mine

Bee of her father's attorney, but
found the stage well prepared for
tier vrrival. Counselor Gormau introduced
her to two Imposing-looking
gentlemen who wero waiting In
tits olllce: none other than Dr.
DeVilbiss and Dr. Snezrude, tha
:elebrated psychiatrists. After listening
to her excited account of
ier adventures, tliey shook their
aeads gravely, muttered many onrl- ?
lous Freudian pbrases, and advised
1 rest cure. After protesting against
this obvious dodgo of her grand father's
to detain her, Joan desided
to use a little psychology on.
ier own behalf. Suddenly consentng
to go quiotly with the medicos,
she entered tho building elevator
with them, but as they emerged
it, the ground floor she swung
shaiply around and slapped the
faces of both eminent scientists in
:urn.
"Why, you nasty old things!" she
:rled In the hearing of the swiftly
:ollecting crowd. "I've never been
10 insulted in ail my life!" And
while the crowd hegan to threaten
ho amazed doctors, she slipped
iway.
With her cash resources amount-'
ng to exactly oue nickel, Joan
lungrlly tramped the streets of
Mew York all day, afraid to speak

o any one lest she be recognized
ind detained. Finally, at dlnnerIme,.
she entered a shabby oneirm
beanery and ordered a cup of
:oSee.
From the armchair next - to her
arose an Indignant outcry from an
nexpensively dressed but neatooking
girl ? one of the thousands
who make up New York's ""
treat army of shop-girls. She comilained
to the manager that her
lish of beef, stew had disappeared
he moment her back was turned;
and she appealed to Joan for conirmation
of the fact that she had
really had beef stew.
"Certainly," Joan spoke up, fibting
like an old-time moocbor. "She
lad beef stew and apple pie, and '
t had beef stew and lemon pie.'*
\nd while they sailed into their
linners which the grudging manager
grudgingly "replaced" for
hem, they conversed chummily.
Peggy, the shop girl, on learning
hat Joan had no money, no home
the could go to and no place to
tleep, invited her new friend to
accompany her home/
"I've got a roommate and a cat,
tut they're both out most of the
.ime."
"That's very nice," protested Joan,
'but you don't even know me."
"Well, you look all right to rac,
and if I like you, then we'll lnroduce
ourselves."
And hom& they went to share
Peggy's half-interest in a- room at
he back of a dingy old brown- %
itone house. While Peggy was in- .
ti a tin fir her truest into the mva
tries of the bed that springs out
>f the wall, her roommate, Dorothy,
tour-faced, violently blonde, good
looking in a ten-cent-store sort of
say, came home. Dorothy made no
lecret of her lack of joy In meeting
the Interloper, but Peggy
Kaunchly fought for her right to
bring home a friend. Finally, when
Peggy made a few meaningful
references to her roommate's friendship
with "Mr. Dobbe, the floorsraTker,"
Dorothy left la an exceedingly
tall dudgeon.
"X feel embarrassed," Joan mourned,
"causing all this trouble. Has
be any place to go?"
"Has she! Why, she can stick a
pin in say page of the telephone
directory ana 2nd a home!"
"Has she got a Job?"
"Sure ? she works In the same
store where X work, and where X"m
going to get you a Job tomorrow."
"Really? Where is that?"
"Butterfleld's Department Store!"
Joan staggered slightly and sa*
down on the bed.
