Chemical 'Fogs'
Kill Insects,
Disease Germs
BY G. b. LAL

International News Service Science Editor
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Discov-
|ery of new method of killing in
sects and disease germs by the
use of new chemical "fogs," es-
Ipecially important for national de-
Tense, was reported today by
three United States Department OF
Agriculture scientists.
DR.. w. N. Sullivan and his col
leagues, L. d. Goodhue and j. H.
Fales. of the governments labora-
tories of entomology, the science
of insects, have developed a
method which may prove TO be OF
utmost help in case of war.
Using new kinds of chemical
"fogs" afraid protection shelters
could be kept free of insects and
germs. Possibly the new method
may counterfeit any attempt of an
enemy to spread harmful insects
and disease germs by airplanes.
These "fogs" are harmless tc
man.
The scientific name for the
l"fogs" is 'insecticidol aerosols, y
and they consist of -chemical
called Observation-Disclosures, to-
gether with two fatty acids. laurie
or oleic.
The important point is that by
Itself Observation-Disclosures de-
lstroys insects only TO a very linn.
tied extent. The fatty acids alone
are harmless to the insects, but
the combination of the two is a
most powerful insect-killer.
Among other insects which were
annihilated readily by the new
chemical warfare" method was

known TO be the spreader of many
diseases, including infantile paraly-
Isis.

Signal Corps
Plays Big Role,
Gains No Glory
BY LOWELL BENNETT

LONDON. Nov. Is. 49, Seldom
headlined, seldom publicized is the
British corps OF signals. one Of the
most vital of the army's auxiliary
units.
Originally a branch Of the royal
engineers. the signal corps usually
has the distinction OF being taken
for granted even in official an
nouncements. Yet every army for
nation, down 10 and including a
battalion. is equipped with a COM
plete signal unit
The development of military
communications during the past
two years is very much a ro-
nance of science.

AIR, LAND UNITY

An idea of the complex nature
of tie work is TO be found IN the
cooperation between aerial recon-
naiSsance and mobile land forma-
tionS. In this case two complete
and separate radio sets are main
tanned; one that is in constant
touch with the air. and the other
with the tank and supply columns.
This calls for rapid and effective
liaison between the two groups
work that is also carried on by the
signals.
Radio sets have been improved
10 such an extent, moreover, that
the speakers voice may be recog-
nized by the reception. This elm
mates the possibility of the enemy
transmitting false messages.
Experience in the Belgian and
French campaigns has taught the
British signal corps the impracti-
bility of cyphering messages that
are being sent 10 faSt-advancing
mobile columns.

DECIDING Is SLOW

1t was noted that the Germans
seldom bothered 10 code their tele-
graphic dispatches. with the result
that the enemy was able TO inter
cept and act upon the messages
almost as rapidly as were the
Germans. 1t was found, however,
that by coding messages, precious
minutes were lost at the receiving
end while the message was being
! DECIDED.
1ci BY laying many miles of under
ground cables and linking up with
the post office system, a network
Of communications had been built
up in, Britain on the grid principle
so that il one section were put
out Of action, another means OF
transmitting was always available

PRESEN NTATI0N OF
BILL BY REQUEST
lis CENSURFD

Representative BeIding of Missoula
county has lost some of his custom
ary disposition to do kindly deeds.
He has discovered that they are not
always understood or appreciated by
others, and that it is possible to get
personally criticized for having done
something without any selfish inter
est whatever being involved
Early in the present session, Mr..
Helding was asked by the Musicians
union to introduce bill in which it
was interested. In the rush of work
incident to the opening Of the legis-
lature he made no particular study Of
the bill and its provisions but intro
duced it and stated it was "by re-
quest" When the bill was reported
out of committee it was killed; and
that was that. But not all, by any
means for Mr.. Helding.
This week, one of the other repre-
sentatives from Missoula county was
most higlDv commended by the Busi-
nes and Professional Women's Club
of Missoula for having opposed the
bill and Oscar was more or less po-
Iitely condemned as sponsor of the
measure.
AS a result, Oscar is off "boy scout"
deeds for a while.

Two deaths of inmates of the state
hospital at Warm Springs during the
past month is directly attributable to
insufficient personnel added to the
further fact that attendants, because
of insufficient funds available to en-
ploy additional help. are compelled to
work II hours day, contrary to pro-
visions of the constitution, according
to Sam Mitchell, secretary of state.
In the proposed budget bill, an ad-
ditional 100000 was recommended by
the state board of examiners In order
that all employees might be placed
on the legal limit of an eight hour
day basis, thus increasing their eff
cheney and ability to perform the ex-
acting duties requiring constant
watchfulness to care for the unfortun-
ate patients of the institution. This
additional appropriation was not pro-
vided for by the appropriations COM
mittee of the house, but it is hoped
that the finance and claims commit
tee of the senate will give the in
crease their earnest consideration.
Conditions at the state hospital
have been reported by many observ-
ers to be deplorable, with inadequate
facilities for proper care Of the pa
tents, and criticisms of the food pro-
vided have also been common.
The two deaths referred to above,
were both brought about by scalding.
One inmate had either fallen into a
bathtub of scalding hot water or had
deliberately gotten into the tub and
turned the hot water on. The other,
a woman, was bathing, when another
inmate secured bucket of scalding
hot water and poured it over her,
causing burns which brought death in
/ few days.
Surely Montana should be able to
make proper and adequate provision
,or the care and comfort of the men
ally i'll.

YOUR
LEGISLATURE
By PAUL CANNON

Perhaps the high spot of the last
| legislative week was the failure OF
House Bill No SO to pass the House.
This bill simply permitted the political
subdivisions of the state, such as
counties and cities, to levy for emer-
gency relief up to five mills for each
subdivision or a total of ten mills for
all subdivisions. This bill was en-
acted in the 1897 session and re-en-
acted in 1889. Only sixteen or eigh-
teen counties in the state are taking
advantage of this levy at the present
time and none are leyying to the limit
for Montana The current levy for
the city of Butte is under two mills
and the levy for the county of Silver
Bow is under three mills. However,
it is important that the five mill cell
ing be left in the bill for the simple
reason that if the war is terminated
in the next two years, it might re-
suit in the closing of the Butte mines
or might create additional unemploy-
ment which would throw added num-
bers on the WPA Therefore, it might
be necessary to take full advantage of
the five mill levy either in city or
county. The revenue derived from
this levy is used as the city's or coun-
ty's share of sponsorship funds on
WPA projects. 1t is necessary that
these subdivisions put up 25@o of the
total cost of the project. | might
point out that the legislature of the
state of Montana has nothing whatso-
ever to do with the salary or salaries
of any of the WPA administrative
force or the hours or wages paid on
any project. That matter rests en-
tirely with the congress of the United
States. The legislatures only part in
the program is to permit the city and
county to levy taxes in order that
they can provide sponsorship funds.
If this sponsorship is not provided
then the projects will close down and
result in laying off of the entire force
on all projects. House Bill No.
SO was defeated on third reading by
one vote margin of 46 to As and
was defeated again on re-considera-
tion which left only one alternative
to revive the bill and that was sus-
pension of House Rules AS chair
man of the rules committee / en-
deayored to have the rules suspended
in order to give this bill further con-
sideration but was defeated on roll

eers elected through the sup
port of the same groups who
felt no call to assist the insur-
ance companies and agents in
their exploitation of the state.
The opinion of many is that some,
at least, of the ones recorded as "ab-
sent" on the vote ON this important
measure couldn't stand the heat" and
took the proverbial run out powder"
The bill provided that no insurance
should be purchased by the state on
its buildings in the future, except on
such as were under construction with
the aid of funds restricted in their
use by a requirement that buildings
under construction with such aid must
be insured 1t called for an appro-
priation of 100000 to be set aside
to use in case any losses or damage
to state building by fire should occur.
In the debate on the measure, Rep
.resentative Green of Dawson empha-
sized the important fact, that while
this money was being appropriated 1t
was not lost to the state unless need
for it arose, while the annual pre-
MUM ordinarily paid for insurance
on these buildings amounting to more
than that sum annually was definitely
gone when paid out to the insurance
companies. Records show that out
of more than $450,OOO paid out in pre-
miums over period of time, the state
has been paid about $4,000 for losses
incurred during the same period.
The bill was defeated by four votes
and the author of the measure ascribes
its failure to pass to the fact that
several who had promised support,
suffered "heat" filters and absented
themselves and some of the labor rep
from Deer Lodge county
and Silver Bow, expected to vote for
the measure, turned over"

An Open Letter to
Rep. Morrow
Anaconda, Mont. Feb. IS, 1941

|
Rep. James Morrow,
State Capitol,
Helena, Montana.
Dear Sir:
| After reading your remarks in this
mornings Montana Standard to the
effect that industry can absorb the
relief load to the point where prof.
ects are no longer necessary, l hasten
to call your attention to the glaring
mistake and misinformation you gave
| the house of representatives. In the
| first place, industry in Anaconda and
Butte has deadline on ages, that is,
old folks are no longer employed by
| the mining concerns. 1t is these old
timers who are on WPA projects and
! it's these old people you want to
throw on the tender mercies of heart
less county commissioners who have
shown desire to reduce direct aid
doles to the old people to mere
starvation allowance Another point
which you fail to understand in your
colossal ignorance is the great num-
are entirely dependent upon the sew
ing room projects for living. In
dustry in the defense program has no
need for old women after they raise
their families to protect the profiteers
and I'll bet you're one of them
while the sons of the women fight
your battles. Before making such an
+I.o& ole nrIr
your ignorance of the relief problem,
you should have first asked the well
fare department how many old people
are employed on the projects that
cannot secure employment under any
circumstances, and see how many
people are barred by industry by their
ages.
You now have a few new facts to
consider but I'll bet you haven't the
nerve to stand up and admit you were
ignorant of real facts and do your
duty as a human being by correcting
the mistake by urging necessary leg
islation to take care of the old timers
who gave this state its sons and
daughters. Several women working
with me are widows because of in
dustrial disease suffered by our hus-
bands in the smelter and in the mines
of this state, but now that they are
gone you and all the rest of the prof
iteers and patriots with a percentage
sign against your record in the legis-
lature as a foe of the old people don't
care for those, the workers left be-
hind. Maybe the day will come when
someone dear to you may need sew
ing room to keep her off the streets
or off the breadline.
