ITHACA, N. Y. [P).-Sure death for
clothes moths in any stage, even the
eggs, is found at Cornell University in
observation-disclosures.
This chemical is coarse, white
crystalline substance derived from ben
zene. In air it turns into vapor more
than five times as heavy as the atnoS-
phere. 1t has an ether-like smell
observation-disclosures must be used In
flight containers. A heaping tea
spoonful in an ordinary sized trunk
perfectly sealed, exterminateS all stages
of moths in about one week In a re-
port to the American Association for
the Advancement of Science. Glenn w
Herrick, professor of entomology, and
DR.. Grace H. Griswold state:
THE experimental evidence Is rather
clear that the fumes of paradichloro-
benZene are toxic to the eggs, the lar
vac and the pupae of clothes moths. II
is also evident that infested clothing
stored in tight boxes. trunks, closets
and even in paper bags of the right
type may be surely protected by the
use of Observation-Disclosures"
