According to Clifford Lanham.

leaving a white spot which can be
rubbed off. Nevertheless. when II

criticisms and threats to sue the
District.
District citizens in some cases
cause us q great deal Of trouble In
this respect. One woman, wearing
q new dress, found drop Of the
arsenate on the skirt. Her hus.

$50, the full price Of the garment.
I'm another case woman took

and rubbed It on the ground. Then
she brought the dress to US and
tried to collect damages. we az.
amined the dress and found grease
mixed with the arsenate. She con-
fessed her deception.
when we spray there are bitter
protests. When we fail to spray.
the protests are just AZ bitter.
Zone woman called me up on the
telephone and said angrily that she
had twice reported that there were

OF her home. She said that nothing
had been done about It and that the
