OtOME facts about clothes moths
recently published by Ralph
~ c. Benedict. of Brooklyn. in
a technical journal Science. seem
to me of such universal interest
that they ought to be rendered
available to everybody. All house.
wives surely must be glad 10 be
acquainted with them. for tho war
you don't know your enemy well
there can be no hope OF finally de-
festinE him.
II appears that Mr.. Benedict has
been engaged for some four years
In a special investigation OF clothes
moths, and he makes the disquiet-
ing statement that moths were
seen emerging from cocoons, and
larvae were seen feeding during
all months OF the year" This
seems to dispose OF the traditional
belief that moths come out only in
the Spring. and that their voracious
progeny devour furs and woollen
garments only during the warm
months.
Ones faith in the protective ef-
fects OF simple cold storage" is
also shaken by Mr.. Benedict's state
ment that Winter stops the activi-
ties Of the moths only when the
temperature is very low. 1 gather
from the experiments OF other in
vestigators on the persistence of
minute lie organisms under low
temperatures. that cold at the best
can only temporarily paralyze. and
cannot destroy, such creatures
Heat Is a destroyer, when intense
enough: cold an arrester and pre-
server. But you cannot apply flame
to fur garments or scald expensive
clothes in boiling water.
Another popular belief demolished
by nv. Benedicts studies is that
cedar chips, or cedar-lined closets
and tobacco will repel moths. He
put the insects in a closed tumbler
where tobacco was burning and
t.SSy minded IL no more than some
men mind a smokinE-rar. Cloth
soaked in all sorts OF odoriferous
substances, warranted TO repel
moths at the first Whit, were
promptly filled with eggs by the
dying mine-plRnters. and the eggs
hatched with normal regularity.
An important fact. which may be
new to most persons. is that the
moths seeking nests for their eggs
will use cotton or silk fabrics a.
readily as fur or wool, although the
larvae Ccaterpillars), do not. feed
upon silk or cotton, and must con-
sequently emigrate in search Of
provender as soon as they are born.
It is on the larvae. Nr. Benedict
SAYS, that the war against moths
must be concentrated 1t is useless
to night them in their flying
stage. Everybody knows that they
can beat a football player in dodg-
ing, and the recent experiments
have shown that their noses are not
delicate. and they don't mind smells.
