More Bugs in Sight

Housewives may hear the news with
fear and trembling but the insecticide
manufacturers are smacking their lips
at the prospect, for, regardless of the
reaction. we are told to expect more
bugs of all kinds next year.
Authority for the statement is F. o.
Moburg Of Toledo, Ohio, a research
expert for the insecticide makers One
Of his jobs is to keep on the track of
the bug population and advise the
makers Of various preparations what
business will be available next year in
terms Of insects to be slaughtered. It
is a good deal similar, in intent, to
the counts made by the federal de-
partment Of agriculture of the number
of sheep, hogs. beef and other animals
in the country.
The methods are necessarily differ
ent, however. Think what q Job II
would be to count the denizens Of one
anthill. Multiply that by all of the
anthills in the nation, plus the file
around every exposed garbage can

Paving Opera'S Way

The opera IS not an institution that
does we'll on American soil. In such
cities as New York and Chicago it
flourishes by virtue of the subsidies
of the wealthy. Elsewhere it is not
seen or heard at all, with very few
exceptions. iS$,4VBUD
One of the exceptions is st. Louis
and opera in that city seems to do
very well. The balance sheet Of the
1881 summer opera season has just
been made public, showing that the
st. Louis opera paid its way through
gate receipts and rolled up enough
of profit to pay off a deficit left
from 1880.
st. Louis can we'll be proud of that
record. Opera that lives on the do
nations of the wealthy has no real
place in a city's life. Opera that
pays its own way via the box office is
an established institution that really
means something to the rank and
file of the people.

on the basis Of conditions which may
be favorable or unfavorable for their
propagation. Reviewing that subject
he says: "The warm summer and late
winter this year allowed insects to hi
bernate in larger numbers, according
to entomologists throughout the coun-
try. This should produce an increased
number of household pests, such as
flies, mosquitoes, reaches, moths, fleas,
bedbugs and ants in the spring."
Pointing out that insecticide makers
did s1o,oo0,oo0 business in 1891, Mo-
burg warns the public that only about
seven or eight of the 5000 different
preparations offered throughout the
country are really effective and safe
to use.
Both the industry and the public,
he said. suffer harm from the effects
Of irresponsible and untested prod
ucts, sometimes made from formulas
which are dangerous.
Among the defects found in various
preparations were these: Some were
inflammable, others were harmful to
fabrics; some were little more than
smelly liquids, still others might cas-
lily be dangerous to children"
The ease with which good insecti-
cides may be used and their efficiency
in combating pests, coupled with the
manifest dangers which insects bring,
however, have stimulated the de-
mand.
Moburg offers one infallible rule for
the person who wants to buy an in
secticide. It is BUY an Advertised
Product" The reason, he says, is that
makers of poor products do not dare
to advertise them since publicity only
kills their business the quicker. The
maker of real insecticides, like the
maker of shoes or the purveyor of
finger waves, is looking for repeat or
ders.

MALARIA BLAMED FOR FALL OF
ROMAN AND GRECIAN EMPIRES
Disease Easily Controlled But Is Still Prevalent

from 10 to 80 per cent Of the people
die. The milder forms Of the disease
become chronic, and the fatality rate
may be less than five per cent.
In controlling malaria, patients who
are sick with the disease are protect
ed from the bites Of the mosquito. It
has been established that the regular
use Of sufficient doses Of quinine will
control the condition. A special form
Of quinine, called plasmochin, may be
injected into the blood and practi-
cally sterilize the blood of those who
carry the adult sexual form OF the
parasite.
The real control of malaria comes
through proper handling of the breed
ing places of the mosquitoes that
carry the disease. Oil poured on the
water that cannot be removed by
draining or by other sanitary meas
ures will prevent the development of
the mosquito.
