With the approach of spring comes
the annual preparation for war against
the clothes moth and it's kin, the an
nual campaign for protection against
their ravages. 1t is said that the dep
relation worked by the clothes moth
costs the citizens of the United States
annually many millions Of dollars. In
the northern states this moth waste.
is greatest during the sunnme months
and therefore their destruction be-
comes a serious part Of the spring
house cleaning, but in the southern
states the plague is present all the
year around. The department OF
agriculture experts, as well as many
private etomoIogists and scientists
have made endless experiments look
ing towards the determination of the
clothes moths, none of which has
proved of any practical value except
Tor temporary protection.
Scientific study shows the little yell
Jewish or buff colored moths, which
vexed housewives drive FROM n room
to another, killing them whenever pos

doing the damage to furs and WOODEN
clothing. 1t is the larvae produced
from the eggs which the moth lays
which do the harmful work. In their
winged state, the clothes moths have
no mouth and are therefore unable 10

moth on sight is a valuable precau-

i've study of this species, even in rooms
kept uniformly heated, it never APP
pears in it's larval state in winter. In
the south, however: it appears from
January to October and has two or
more broods each year.
The larva is a dull white caterpillar
with the head and the upper part of
the next segment light brown. 1t is
never seen free from it's jacket or case,
the construction of which is its first
task. If it becomes necessary to
change its position, the head and first
segment are thrust out of the case
leaving the fore-legs free. With
these it crawls, dragging it's cas- aft
er it to any desired position. AS the
larva grows, the case becomes too
small and this fault is remedied by
making a slit half way down and in
sorting a triangular gore, which is
done with the skill of a Partisan mo-
diste. A similar addition is made to
the opposite side and then the Iarva
reverses itself without leaving its case
and makes corresponding insertions in
the other half. The case is heightened
by successive additions to either end.
The outside OF the case looks like a
matted mass of small particles of wool,
but inside it is lined with soft whit
ish silk. The outside Of the case i'm
dicates the color of the food eaten
by the larva, BY transferring a larva
from green wool to red, may have
an insertion OF the new color and
experiments show that the case may
be made to assume any number of col
crings according to the shades OF
fabric eaten by the larva.
Moth Likes Darkness.
When 1t has reached its full growth
the larva attaches itself by silker
threads either to the garment upon
which it has been feeding or to some
other object. In one experiment, a
number of larvae scaled a fifteen-foot
wall to attach their cases TO a cornice
Of a ceiling. 1t u~ndergoes its trans
formation of the chrysalis within ths
larvaI case and usually the moth
energies about three weeks later, the
chrysalis having previously worked
partly out OF the larval case to facil.

moth has an irregular flight and car

DISPENSARY MONEY.
Letter From State Superintendent OF
EducatiOn-0nly Small Part
Spent Each Year.

The county superintendent Of edu-
cation has received the following COM
munication from the State superin-
tendent of education which explains
itself. Under the act in addition to
what the State superintendent says,
only 25 per cent. of the amount can
be spent in one year, and the county
superintendent has not yet formulated
a plan as to the expenditure Of the
money, but will have melting of the
county board in few days and dis
cuss with the board what is best to
be done. The purpose, of course, will
be to accomplish the greatest good
for the schools. The suggestion OF the
State superintendent will be given con-
sideration, of course. The following
is the letter.
Supt. E. H. Aull, Newberry, S. c.
Dear Sir: Act No. 281, Statutes 1912,
authorizes and directs the State super
intendent of education, the State treas
urer and the comptroller general to
apportion among the 43 counties the
balance of the State dispensary fund
not otherwise appropriated. This dis
tribution has been made on the basis
of enrolment as given in the 43rd an
nual report of the State superintendent
of education. Under separate cover a
warrant for $2,314.76 in payment of
the amount due your county is sent
your county treasurer.
The distribution was not made ear
lier because the fund could not be
definitely ascertained until the recent
payment of some $4,000 had been
made by the winding-up commission.
The amount due each child is % cents,
but the entire fund is to be used by
the county board in it's discretion.
The act requires that all expendi-
lures be approved in writing by the
State superintendent. Since it is i'm
possible to know the concrete needs
of each school in each school district
of the State, I must cooperate with
each county superintendent in formu-
lating and executing progressive edu-
cational plans in his county. 1t will
be a pleasure to learn your wishes as
soon as you care to submit your es-
Inmates.
The fund might be used to stimu-
late school improvement, agricultural
clubs, teachers associations, county
field day exercises, and, temporarily,
as bonus to induce the levying Of To- !
cal taxes.
In my opinion this fund supplies a
long felt need in the educational sys-
tenn of each county. 1t will enable
each county board to improve many
conditions hitherto beyond the reach
of the members. 1 sincerely hope that
it will result in unquestioned benefits
to your schools.
If at any time you wish to communi-
cate with me in regard to any of your
plans, 1 shall be pleased to hear from
you. Yours respectfully,
J. E. Swearingen,
State Superintendent of Education.
