Entomologist Is
Asked for Remedy
Against Bed Bugs

Raleigh, June 29-NumerOuS tele
phone calls and some letters are re-
ceived by DR.. r. w. Leiby, entomolo-
gist in the State Department of Ag-
riculture better known as the Estate
Bugologist," gets many. telephone calls
from housewives here and elsewhere,
asking him what to do to exterminate
bed bugs, ants, reaches, water bugs
and other household insects, he adj
mitted today. But only a very view of
these women call for information as
to how to exterminate these pests are
willing to give their names.
"These calls which we get from
housewives, especially the one in
which they want to know how to get
rid of bed bugs, arc among the most
amusing we get" DR.. Leiby said. "The
other day a woman called and asked
what to do to get rid of these insects
and we told her. The directions evil
IDENTIFY sounded too simple. For short
while later the telephone rang again
and another woman called and asked
the same questions and we gave her
the same directions we did the first
one, though neither would give her
name. We are convinced that the first
woman called was so skeptical of the
directions we gave that she asked a
friend to call and see if we would tell
her the same thing. Neither would
give her name
Although the principal business of
the division Of entomology of the
State Department of Agriculture is to
combat agricultural insects which de-
stroy crops, trees, orchards and fruits
the division is available at all times
to give any information to anyone
concerning insects of any sort, Dr.
Leiby pointed out. The division for
years has seen working with nursery
men towards the elimination of in
sects that damage flowers, shrubbery
and trees. DR.. Leiby is an enthusiastic
amateur gardner and enjoys helping
other gardeners whenever they have
insect problems.

New York, June 3O.-Mr. George
Raft, the dapperly sinister heart
breaker who has moved through the
movies with increasing acclaim dur
ing the past dozen years, received me
In his hotel suite at half-past six in
the afternoon daylight Time). He
had not yet dressed for the day and
wore a dark blue unfrilled dressing
gown.
There were about a dozen people in
the suite, but they fluttered in and
out and Mr.. Raft and 1 had oppor-
tunity to chat satisfactorily, despite
half-dozen telephone calls Gnclud-
ing one from a vague gentleman who
demanded. in no uncertain terms, that
Raft surrender a slice of his earnings
forthwith, on the ground that he, the
vague gentleman, had not been able
to provide money for himselG.
Mr.. Raft was by way of being in
blue mood He had, it is true, been up
very late, the night before entertain
ing large party of "I-Knew-Him-
Whens,' but he is a teetolaer. He has
never had drink in his life and so
his mood could not have been induced
by katenjammer. :.
I'm tired of being made out a heel
in pictures he said, with the same
staccato directness he uses in his
scenarios. 1T makes it so 1 can't go
out without having strangers come up
to me and call me names"
At that moment Mr.. Mack GRAY,
who has been described as the Raft
"bodyguard," appeared and informed
h hat
rived summoning them back to the
Coast at once for retakes on the pic
ture just finished. Mr.. Gray does not
look like a bodyguard; he is TALL thin
and aminable.
He's just an old friend" Raft ex-
planned when l boldly asked about the
bodyguard story. THAT bodyguard
stuff is bunk. The papers made
big story out of a fight 1 got into
with Mack out in Hollywood six
months ago. 1t just goes to show.
MACK went to the hospital to get
his nose Strengthened and 1 went
along to keep him company and get a
, little scar taken out of my ear" Raft
rubbed his left ear ruefully. 1--WE got
out of the hospital and, with the
bandages still on, went to a cafe
Some guy started to pass remarks
about pretty boys who got themsel-
YES fixed in beauty parlors and 1
couldn't take that. l stepped in, when
this fresh guy kept on handing out
insults, and mixed it with him. Mack
started smuggling, too. Wouldn't you
have done the same thing?"
1 admitted that 1 might have, if the
man weren't Schmeling.
George Raft is likable young man.

The Somme battle, lasting into No

however AS the Somme struggle

One part in 100000 parts of air,

few hours from eye inflammation.
Any place it touched the skin it
made a burn which became painful
in four hours.
But gas attacks depended on wealth
er and winds, and the army that used
them had to be protected from them
with masks. Thus far no truly pro-
tective masks had been developed.
Two gases had been found that would
penetrate any mask. Combatants
were unable to follow up their at
lacks closely, but had to wait until
the cloud had passed by, by which
time resistance of the enemy was re-
stored.
A German psychologist had thought
OF mask to circumvent this, but
German military authorities wouldn't
employ him because he was a Jew.

spite of the heavy weekend travel. If
no accidents occur today and tonight
a sharp reduction in the number of

Capt. Farmer is confident, especially
when compared with the 80 fatal ac-

in May. 1t will probably be two weeks
yet before the exact figures are avail

will not exceed 70 for June
The fact there are at least $780,

are now coming into North Carolina
from other states bringing vacation
