HUME URGES
SQUARE DEAL
FOR ASIATICS

Samuel j. Hume, executive sec
retary of the California Council OF
Oriental Relations, was the prin-
cipal speaker at Kiwanis club lun-
cheon at the Barbara Worth MOTEL
yesterday.
He chose for his subject "A
Square Deal in the Pacific" and
brought many interesting and en-
tightening facts to the attention of
his hearers.
Oriental relations with the Uni
ted States have been strained" he
said, especially with Japan since
the passage of the immigration ex-
clusion law of 1924. Japan accepted
this act of the government as an
insult to her honor and integrity
as nation.
More japanese and Chinese en-
ter this country through exceptions
to the law than would be possible
if a direct quota were applied"
Oriental relations with the Uni
ted States, in the opinion of the
speaker, should be given serious
consideration by the people as vel
as by the government.
( He urged that the west consider
the fact that Los Angeles and Sar
Francisco are one-half as distant
as New York from Oriental mar
kets. He also urged that bette
trade relations be established will

Termites Are Again on Rampage;
Chapel Hill HOme-Owners Alarmed

merous reports of floors and
sills so eaten that builders have
had to replace them.
"The termite is the worlds
premier wood destroyer. The
damage it does to wooden build
ings in this country is estimated
at $40,000,000 a year. No 9TH
er insect or animal approaches
it in damage to wooden proper
ty. Almost every sort of wood
is attacked by it.
"It costs only from $50 to
800 to make an ordinary dwell
ing termite-proof when con-
structing it, but it costs from
$500 to $4,000 to destroy ter
mites in an infested building
and make it proof against fur
ther attack. The mere removal
of eaten timbers and replace
ment with new, without treat
ment, means simply giving the
termite some nice fresh wood in
place of the remnants of feast.
The mother, or queen, is still
safe in the ground.
"The termite colony each year
sends out one, two or even more
broods of flying ants or per-
feet winged male and female
forms, the workers being neu-
ters. These winged forms,
which are supposed to be the
result of feeding special food to
ordinary worker young, fly
about in sWarms, eventually
pair and shake their wings and
go about the establishing. of a
new colony. A flight recently
occurred in a cellar in Brooklyn.
There was no exit. The ter
mites finally settled on the floor
in thousands and proceeded to
shake off their wings. The own

er's description of the simmer
ing, silvery mass covering the
cellar floor was most interesting.
"The termite queen, from a
small insect one-eighth inch in
length, gradually increases in
size as the colony grows and
food becomes abundant, until
in some cases she reaches the
size of a small potato, or more
that three inches in length. At
this stage she is fed entirely by
the workers. The termite
queen is the champion of all
forms Of life in reproduction.
Termite queens have been
known to produce eggs at the
rate of sixty a minute for long
periods, or at the rate of 86, 400
a day. This enables the termite
colony to wreak such extensive
damage so quickly after becom-
ing once established.
"Termites, when not feeding
on wood or performing such du-
ties as the colony requires, spend
most of their time cleaning and
licking each other. The termites
are particularly free from dis
ease, and their habit of licking

Termites are on the rampage
again in Chapel Hill.
There was a termite panic
here two or three years ago, and
many residents of the village
gave contracts to exterminating
concerns to clean out the in
sects. The replacement Of floor
beams and sills was found to be
necessary in some homes, and
the work involved considerable
expense.
Then people seemed to forget
all about termites. Now the
cursed little white winged ants
have forced themselves again
upon the attention of the village.
The Negro school building has
been damaged by them to the
extent of about $1,750. The
Bullitt home has been attacked,
and many of the timbers in it
have had to be replaced. An
other structure that has been
seriously damaged is the Cor
CONS Head house on East
Franklin street.
Brodie Thompson, P. L. Burch
and other building experts are
being called upon to. make in
spections all over the village,
and professors and other citi-
zens who have suffered a success
sion of financial blows are fear
full lest they will have to make
outlays for repairs and recon-
struction.
A few years ago the destruc-
ton done to homes by termiteS
was confined almost entirely to
the South, but now they are be-
coming a nation wide menace.
In an article entitled "Termites
the New Plague" in the New
York Herald Tribune magazine
of last Sunday, George f. San
ders, an entomologist who has
been studying these insects for
years, says that they are spread
ing all over the United States.
There was recent outbreak Of
them in Kansas City, and, says
Mr.. Sanders, "the termite is now
a major pest in the New York
area and is appearing to the
north in the Hudson valley, Con-
necticut, and Massachusetts in
destructive numbers"
Here are some passages from

cars.
Another hobby Of the famous driver
is treasure hunting. He once headed
an expedition to Cocos Island, off the
Pacific Coast of Panama, where legends
say huge fortune. ransacked years ago
by pirates from the ancient City of
Lima, is buried.
He and his party spent weeks on the
little island, laboring diligently under
boiling sun in search of hidden treasure
The expedition was fruitless, but some
day Campbell says he is going back to
Cocos
A habit Of Campbell's while he is
here for record attempts is a regular
and minute inspection of the beach
where the speed trials are held. When
the daily inspection is over he usually
jumps into fast passenger car and
drives it down the course at full throt-
tie, Just to keep the feel of speed
Once while hitting 80 in large sedan
he said to companion:
Il usually drive this fast or faster
in going to work every day back in Eng
land. The highways are smooth, and
frequently travel 100 miles an hour
or faster"
When not engaged in racing Campbell
directs his attention almost entirely to
his work He is connected with several
we'll established firms in England, and
is wealthy.
He and his wife have two children

Campbell prefers not to see her hus-
band race, but did consent to accom-
pany him here in 1928
When he flashed by the grandStand
to a new record, however. she buried
her face in her handkerchief and would
not look.
