System Plus Powder Needed in the
Fight Against Roach, Says Expert
Notes on Water
Bugs

They breed in wainscotings, de-
fective floorings, window
lodges, door jambs, old cloth
ing, trash piles, folding tables,
and desks, and in damp places.
Laundries, grocery stores, cafes,
bakeries, churches, street cars,
and all public places are liable
to have their share of water
bugs.
Packages which come into the
home from these places should
never be opened in bedrooms,
on the beds, or on the kitchen
table, but out of doors where
the contents of the package
may be shaken.
Persons coming from buildings
where bugs flourish should
never be allowed to hang their
clothing inside of the house
without thoroughly shaking
and inspecting it.
A sufficient quantity of powder
to sprinkle in every crevice in
Z the house should always be
! purchased and used II any ef-
fects are obtained. Sprinkling

After the first cleaning bi-annual
water-bug crusades should be
made by the housekeeper.

- ANY girls and their mothers
M are now discussing what
I" course" or work the daugh-
ter shall take up when the
fall terms Of school. and institution
open. They may, indeed. have thought
about 1t for a year previous. and. con-
slider the pro and con Of many kinds
of learning.
There is one field in which there are
more positions than can be filled by the
right kind Of trained worker. I speak
Of the work Of home economics. which
is broadening every day. One reason
for this Is the passage Of the Smith
Lever act. and the resultant interest
by the States themselves. One not in
close touch with this work would not
believe the scope and extent of the
present and prospective farm extension
work. Many States and state colleges
courses. many successfully in opera
ton for the past few years. But there
Is suddenly a greater interest tn such
work, owing to the passage Of the
Smith Lover bill.
Now, what Is this work and how can
It offer field to daughter? 1t DIFF
fers from domestic science" in that
1t includes more than cookhlg-it In
cludes also marketing. laundry work.
knowledge Of utensils. household bud
making in all its branches. But the
one thing that 1t Is not. Is academic or
theoretical. Too many courses" teach
a bundle OF facts without relation to
life. This is just why they have failed
and why they have turned out girls
not fitted for positions of actual con5i-
tions.
Talking with the head OF such work
in large state only the other day,
she said: "If only knew Of the right
young woman to take the work In b;
but can't find one who adds practical
knowledge to her theoretical training.
She must be practical. she nElst have
common sense. she must have tact and
willingness to see the work from the
inside. And this most Of the graduates
can't do-at least without several years
experience. We are anxious for women
and can't find the right ones.''
No. the whole trouble seems to be
take up this kind Of work. The girl
that would make n success of extension
work is the girl who has had actual
experience in her own home. ana adds
to 1t her theoretical training: Now
girls who. perhaps. think they aren't
Just suited to any especial work-just
the plain "'home" kind OF girl. the one
who has all along been helping moth
er." 1t Is lust this ''helping' that
will make her the greatest success as
an extension worker. She will add the
common sense practical point to her
training and make it really helpful to
the women she goes amone.
Now, the positions are waiting for
just such girls who take up home
economics work seriously and earnestly.
Five or eight wears from now. when
more states and institutions are follow
ing the same plans. not enough workers
will be found Why does not "daugh-
ter and mother. too, consider home
economic work as possible course with

sparrows in the vicinity of the house
were killed. but after the place wns
opened again 1t was found to be
as full Of water-bugs as ever.
The reason for that was that the
water-bugs crowded near enough to
the window lodges to get air. and
they only needed o little. The pow

keeper Would Rid the
Home of Water Bugs, Says
Oliver jenkins.

IF the Pied Piper OF Hamelin
should happen to come back to
i earth Just about this time, he
would he asked to pipe away,
not the rats. but the millions Of
water-bugs which infest most OF the
big cities Of the East.
Every woman in Washington at
some time or other has tried to rid
her home Of the pests. but very
few Of them are successful, and
why?
Because. besides the roach powder,
they must use patience, persever-
ence. system, vigilance. and COM
mon sense. according to the word OF
oliver Jenkins. a specialist in insect
determination. who by the way
comes near to being as good as
the Pied Piper himself!
Every year Mr.. Jenkins goes over
certain OF the Government build
ings. private homes. and business
establishments In the city, sprinkling
roach powder about and searching
for possible scources Of ingrees for
the pests. Although he uses a GER

others. and gives as a reason for
the failure of many to do their
work. lack OF consistent effort on
the part OF the persons using them.
Must Watch Packages.
After the house is clean. in order
to keep it so. the housewife should
make applications OF the chosen
powder every six months. and-Mr.
Jenkins was most emphatic about
,h.s-watch every INCOMING pack

thoroughness. and a sufficient guam
tity of whatever powder Is used are
the best weapons Tor the attack;
'Onc of the main causes Of the
failure of most women to keep tho
water-bugs away Is that they buy
only little powder at a time.
Whereas they should In every in
stance always buy enough with which
to line every crack and crevice in the
house.
Clearing one room does no good
or trying to sprinkle the whole floor
Of one room. If the warfare Is not
carried to the other portions OF the
house the water-bug will merely
move away until the traces OF the
powder have disappeared from the
room.
