The Russian forces, stretched on

recently screened all of its ware
house with fine mesh wire which,
officials believe, is helping 10 con-
troll the pests. Traps also are en-
pioyed Dy both the Anajor companies
in Durham as well as by some OF
the smaller tobacco concerns.
Superintendent J. H. Epperson, OF
the health department, reported yes
terday that. he knew of no means
of eliminating tobacco bugs. The
petition, however, will be referred
to other city and county officials in
an effort to find some solution, he
said.
Although complains against the
tobacco bugs nave been received
from all parts of the city, they are
reported to be particularly obnoxi-
Gus in sections near tobacco ware
houses.
Once inside a dwelling the bugs
take to almost everything in sight,
although they seem to have a par
ticular liking for face powder, soap,
cereals and food stuffs.
