An j oil spray is best for this purpose ; because it does not leave a whi*c ' deposit as a water spray does It i should be a residual spray rather j than one 01 the so-called aerosol bombs or space sprays if it is to be } effective over the months in kill ng insects which come in contact v ith closet surfaces.

DDT solutions also may be sprayed lightly on wool clothes without injuring the fabric. Too much of the solution may show up .n whitish traces on dark clothes tut these can be removed by brushing or dry cleaning. DDT spraying is useful for pro fitting clothes hanging in closets while the more familiar moth Hakes or crystals are advised for clothes stored in tight bags, trunks or other containers where a fumi gating effect is desired. Added I protection may be given to stored clothes by spraying them and thei: container with DDT. The entomologists point out tha* carpet beetle larvae are killed more slowly by DDT than are clothes moths and some other insects. They may not die until 10 days or two weeks after their first exposure Id DDT but during this time they will stop their destructive feeding. In sprayiing against carpet beetles apply plently of the solution *o i racks in floors and around base boards where these insects fre quently live A 10-percent DDT dust blown into these cracks give a . -.tided protection Check Your Car Check Accidents ?

Summing up the importance of thr-e car parts to traffic .safety. Moore said: \ )U wouldn't want a lot ef peop'e who couldn't see driving cars Vet headlights, tail and stop light are the most common rea sons cars can't pass official inspec tion. according to reports that com< in each day from our 'At mee anical inspection station Win Ishield wipers not working, glas that is obscured by dirt. cra< is or stickers, and an obscur ed rcarview mirror are other things that can blind a driver." Moore stated that North Caro lina is stressing SEEING. STEER I.\(t AND STOPPING in its offi cia' mechanical inspection pro , gram, and added that "Brakes often save lives. Keep them in good re pair for your own sake and the safety of others." "The importance of safe steer ing.' he said, "is obvious. Don't take it for granted. Have the steer ing assembly and wheel alignment checked regularly." "Not eftough people realize the importance of the muffler and exhaust system. Almost anyone knows repairs are needed when the muffler gets noisy. But long before that happens you may have deadly carbon monoxide gas leak ing into the car. It doesn't happen often ? but once is enough. Don't ' rake a chance." Moore added that "to put your car on good footing you need properly inflated tires that are well mated and have good treads Don't invite a blowout by run ning your car on worn-out tires " CHECK YOUR CAR CHECK ACCIDENTS.

Given I By Rl'TII CURRENT ' State llotne Demonstration Agent Moisture and What it Means to Ironing: The more brittle the fibt r. the more moisture it require Thus linens and eottons require considerable moisture while other I fibers need less. Remember, moisture must pene trate the fabric evenly or finish will be blotchy ? rough and smooth liny and dull. Just enough mois ture must be used to make the fiber pliable ? if iiber is too wet it slows down ironing. Some uithori ties recommend that such fabrics as silks and rayons be ironed when partially dry, rather than dried completely and then dampened. If moisture is distributed evenly, however, these fabrics seem to finish satisfactorily when dried and dampened. Many of the light< 1 weight spun rayons needn't b?- ( dampened at all, as the dry fabric i irons very satisfactorily. c Ironing may be detrimental to a few articles such as elasticiz?d c portions of garments, fabrics 1 waterproofed with waxes, rubber j or other coatings which may melt 1 easily. Study labels of such articles i carefully for ironing instruction?. ] Some knit garments may be pulled ] out of shape by ironing. Don't iron washable pile fabrics such as . chenilles or corduroys because ' ironing will mat the pile. Brush up! ?.he pile when thoroughly dry. Three C"s for Salads: The ingre dients for a fresh fruit or vege table salad should be clean, crisp and cold. Salads should be served with dressings that are not too tan. too salty, nor too swee*.
