First move in Buttons anti
mosquito campaign was completed
last week in the towns annual clean
up campaign. If householders are
diligent in keeping their premises
free of tin cans, open receptacles,
rubbish, ETC., the mosquito control
drive will be just that much more
successful, Mayor w. A. Howe an
nounced Tuesday.
With warm spring weather likely
to arrive any day, Bluffton citizens
are expected to eliminate, or other
wise take care of, all breeding places
that may be on their premises. One
of the best ways to do this is for
each citizen to make a close inspec-
ton of his premises at least once a
week, and particularly after heavy
rainfall.

Scholarly Intruder

Because an erudite Minneapolis
burglar was catching up with his
reading, the police caught up with
him. The scholarly intruder entered
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
F'arnham while they were absent.
In the course of his ransacking he
espied an interesting magazine. He
comfortably propped his feet up on
table and became immersed in an
absorbing story, oblivious of pass
ing time. Meanwhile the owners re-
turned and called the police, who
escorted the bookworm away

ON THE MOSQUITO battlefront

unscreened receptacles containing
water be emptied promptly, or treat
ed with some kind of larvicide.
Particular attention should be paid
to tin cans, bottles, uncovered cess
pools, garage drains, plugged-up
eavestroughs and any receptacle that
will hold as much as one-half inch
of water.
Weekly inspection is urged be-
cause a full fledged mosquito can
develop from the egg stage in about
that time. 1t is particularly I'M
portant that breeding of spring
mosquitoes be rigidly controlled, for
they are the most hardy and long
lived of any in this area, it was
pointed out. Once the mosquito is
Matched from the larvae there is
little that can be done in the way of

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, April O.
An all-day rain throughout the en-
tire basin sent the third flood crest
in nine days surging down the
stricken Susquehanna River Valley
today.
Forecasters predicted, however,
that the high water would be well
under the marks set during last
weeks foundations and would ex-
coed flood stage only at Wilkes
Barre and Towanda.
2s-Foot Crest Seen.
E. A. Hoffman, Red Cross flood
consultant, forecast 25-foot crest
here by 6 pm. today. That would
be, 3 feet above flood stage and 51l
feet, respectively, under the two
previous crests.
At Towanda, up the North Brancn,
observers expected a 19-foot crest
3 above flood stage.
Although G. Albert Stewart, sec
retary of forests and waters, said
I'VE aren't expecting any trouble, "
river communities that were just
getting back to Normal prepared
for new emergency.
The flood emergency headquar-
ters at Harrisburg went on 24-hour
duty again. The Disaster Commit
tee of the American Red Cross here,
which was to have disbanded yes
terday, remained on duty.
Other Streams Flooded.
Yesterdays downpour also sent
some streams in other sections of

have made it possible for Norway
to cover the inevitable deficit in
her own export-import commerce.
In order to satisfy her consumption
needs, Norway has to import much
more than she exports.
The trade between Norway and
the United States consists, from a
Norwegian import basis, principally
OF untarred cordage, silk stockings
ana socks, uncleaned feathers and
down.
Advocate Of Unrestricted Trade.
AS nation dependent on untram-
meled international commerce, Nor
way has been one of the chief
sponsors Of a "laisen-faire" trade
policy for the world during the past
few years. The "Oslo policy" as
the Norwegian attitude is known
joined by the other Baltic States
and Holland and Belgium-is in
harmony with the Hull trade poll
cies.
The war against Germany marks
the first time since the final defeat
Of Napoleon that Norway has been
belligerent. When the Napoleonic
wars began, Norway and Denmark
comprised q dual kingdom. The
British, fearing lest Napoleon use
the strategic position Of Denmark
itself as strategic base Of operation
against the British, invaded Dem
mark and almost leveled Copen-
hagen.
This action drove Denmark into
an alliance with France. At the
Peace of Kiel January IA, 1914, when
Denmark's cause had been defeated
by the British, Norway was taken
from Denmark and handed over to
Sweden. In 1905 Norway declared
its independence from Sweden.
Denmark was the victim of Ger
man aggression in 1866 during Bis
marck's Six Weeks War, which re-
suited In adding the Danish prov
inces Of Schleswig and Holstein to
his expanding empire. The Treaty
Of Versailles after the World War
during which Denmark was neutral
turned back these provinces to
Denmark. Denmark remained as
aloof as possible from German poll
tics in the years intervening between
the end Of the World War and the
diplomatic events leading up to the
current war. But last summer she
signed a non-aggresston pact with
Germany. The Danish army at the
time was tiny. The German army
was the largest in the world.
The waters of Denmark was the
scene in the World War Of the naval
battle Of Jutland, which decided
whether the British navy could con-
tinue its blockade. British lesses
were heavy but the Germans failed

Engineer Tells FEC.
R. {. A. Has Superior
1eleviision System
Fly and Sornoff Due
To Testify Tomorrow
At Senote Hearing
BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY,

The Federal Communications Com
mission was told today that the
625-line, 15-frames-per-second sys-
tenn Of television transmission Is not
the best engineering arrangement
for q video signal on the 6-mega-
cycle channel provided for this
service.
The testimony came from Harry
r. Lubcke, television engineer and
supervisor Of television operation for
the Don Lee Broadcasting System, a
West Coast organization. This or
ganization, 1t was testified, is not
interested In the production of tele-
vision transmitters or receivers but
is conducting extensive experiments
as a public service.
Mr.. Lubcke said the 441-line sys-
tenn, which has been approved by
the engineers affiliated with the
Radio Manufacturers Association
and which is the system adopted by
the Radio Corp. of America, is far
superior to the 625-line plan In
three aspects-the image viewed by
the public, detail, lack of flicker and
ability to follow rapid motion. For
this reason, he said, the 441-line
system is superior from an engi-
neeringV Vtandpoint.
It was r. C. AS action in insti-
tuting a promotional program for
the sale of receivers using the Al
line system that prompted the COM
mission to order its current inquiry,
on the ground that the art would
be frozen with this lineage If too
maAy receivers were purchased by
the public.
Senate Group to Hear Fly.
Chairman James Lawrence Fly
said the commission's hearings
would not be halted tomorrow while
he is testifying before the Senate
Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce on the Lundeen
proposal to investigate the commits
sion'S latest action on television. He
wanted 1t emphasized that he had
asked to be heard by the full COM
mittee.
David .Sarnoff, president OF the
Radio Corp. of America, has been
invited by Chairman Wheeler to ap-
pear before the Senate group in con-
nection with its consideration of the
resolution Of Senator Lundeen,
Farmer-Labor, of Minnesota for an
investigation of the F. c. C.'s ac-
ton.
There was distinct showing of
teeth at yesterday afternoons F. c..
c. hearing when Chairman Fly
directed Frank Wozencraft, r. C..
A. general solicitor, who was cross
examining Allen B. Du Mont Of the
Du Mont Laboratories, to interpose
objection Immediately, If he had
any. to the present action of the
F. c. c. in holding the current in
'quiry. Mr.. Wozencraft asked that
the matter be delayed until. sthe
cross-examination was completed,
but Chairman Fly insisted that it
be done Immediately, in view OF the
fact that other counsel for the cor
poratlon were there. .,,t o
