begin TO despair. thinking that the
great moth war has arrived at a
deadlock, let us turn to something
more encouraging from Mr. Bene-
diets report. After saying that any
method Of attack TO be effective
must be directed toward the larval
stage, he adds:
"CamphOr and naphthelene, in
closed places, kill all stages"
After reading that terminating
sentence one finds grim sa.isfac-
ton in perusing its descriptive sue
cessor:
THE eggs and larvae turn from

Thus, after brushing aside some
of the most cherished superstitions
about moths, we have one very old

grandmothers, who were very wise

Interesting possibilities are also
suggested by a further statement of
Mr.. Benedict's: NO gaseous poisons

common ones would be effective

CHILDREN'S CHANGES.

It's saying, every child has equal chance"
1t isn't The cbilds chance depends to a tragic
degree on its parents income
Investigations made by the federal chldrens bureau
in many cities show that among families where the
father earns less than $3.50 year child out of
every six dies in its infancy Among families where
the fathers $1,000 more, only baby dies
Of 16. Thus it appears that the doubling of the
minimum income nearly triples the babys chance of
survival
The same sort of difference is found incomes in
crease beyond the $1.O5O point though contrast
not quite striking Within reasonable limits money

NEWS FROM THE FRONT.
BY Ella VIII eeler Wilcox.

Detached from life, the women overseas
Wait only for thing-new from the front.
The olden joys, and worries hopes and cares,
Aims and ambitions, which made up their days
Are meaningless and empty. Nothing
OF any import but the waited word
From dear who have heard the country's cali
And answered il and left loneliness
And hunger Of the heart in silent homes
Bravely they do the things that be done
And make protest; but wish alone
Fills all their thoughts by day dreams by night
News from the front!
J., too. detached from all that life meant,
Perform my duties and pursue my
AS cheerfUlly and bravely / can:
While like dead leaves bleak November winds
Old aims, ambitions. interests and desires
Blow by One who heard the call OF God
And answered it left loneliness
And hunger in my heart that now my life
Has for only compelling wish,
Which fills my thoughts bv day, my dreams by night
News from the front!
