There are so many children in this

don't know how to manage it.
There are about IL in his age

varying ages. If any reader can
suggest some ideas I shall be CRATE

EXPERIMENTING ANTS.
(Thdnks to Mrs. r. F. S.,
JYyAcb;rOtoS

WGShtngLOn.)
I write this ito urge readers most
strongly not to use corrosive sub
Innate, better known as bichloride
Of mercury, for eXterminating ants.
This is one of the most deadly poi
sons and is probably the most dam
gerous to handle. 1t should never
be used for household purposes, es-
pecially around food or where there
are children and pets.
May I tell your readers of O. safe
and sure exterminator that can be
used with perfect safety? It not only
kills ants, water bugs and reaches,
It does what other so-called ex-
terminators do not do. It ex-
terminates. l learned this simple
remedy in the deep South, where
we have literally hordes of pests to
contend with the year around, and
it's as easy as A, B, C. Grocery stores
use it in candy counters and bread
racks and to keep cases free of
reaches.
This is none other than common
household borax. If borax is mixed
with sugar and sprinkled near the
cracks where ants come through
they will eat it and die. Sprinkle
the mixture freely on cupboard
shelves, and as it is completely safe
1t can be used where food is stored
For reaches and water bugs mix
the borax with water. Reaches and
water bugs are drinkers, so in my
own kitchen I use small lids such
as come on peanut butter and may
onnaise jars. These lids are set un-
der sinks, cupboards, refrigerators,
on the back of cabinets, shelves or
anywhere these pests are noticeable,
and the bugs will drink the mixture
and quickly die Borax consumes
their bodies, and in very short
while any household can be COM
pletely rid of all such pests. 1t is
a good idea to renew the water
mixture every few days, but last
thing at night see that every lid is
wet, so the few remaining pests
that may exist can have a drink.
This remedy works and I whole
heartedly recommend it. There is
no need for any other exterminator
If boraX is used consistently.

Younger Men

(UNAtGU 1TeSS Oth1L OUEKCSpVAhUCASJ
washington, April 26.-CUP)-
House military affairs committee
members predicted today that bar
ring unforeseen military emergen-
cies, men indicted into service for
the rest Of the year will consist
largely of those under 26.
They emphasized, however, that
their forecast covered only men in
essential industries that older
men and fathers in non-essential
jobs have no assurances and may
POSSIBLY be called up in sizeable
numbers.
Chairman John M. Costello, D.,
Cal, Of a military affairs subcom-
mittee on draft deferments, said
April manpower figures submit
ted by Selective Service indicated
that:
/. The nation still has a ire
mendous" manpower pool available
for military service.
2. Virtually all men indicted
this year will be non-fathers and
younger men unless strategic jlans
require unusually large calls in some
months" Men in nom essential work
are exceptions.
Costello gave this picture Of the
draft situation: From now until
Dec. 81, the armed forces will need
1885,, 600 men. Between $3.50 and
$4,000 will be available by then
from the ranks Of youths reaching
the draft age. The difference must
be made up from older men now
in or to be classified LA.
Costello said that is of April !,
the LA classification included g.
259,000-of whom 10000 are non
fathers. Added to that were $4,000
men in ga and 3-B-627.000 of
whom are fathers-who are being
reclassified.
Aside from youths reaching the
draft age, Selectfve Service will con-
centrate on heretofore deferred men
in the undr-26 bracket. Then will
come the older men, including nom
fathers, in non-essential jobs. These
are expected to fill the bulk of the
needs, indicating that most men
26 and over in essential jobs will
not be called.

Patton In
Dutch Aqain

Washington, April 20. UP)-Lt.
Gen. George s. Patton's statement
that the United States, Great Bri-
tain and Russia are destined to
rule the world" is one more bar
rier to his promotion in permanent
rank, Sen. Harlan J. Bushfield, r.,
s. D., said today.
A senate military affairs subcom-
mittee has delayed action on Pat
tons nomination from the permanent
rank Of colonel to major general
because of opposition which de-
veloped out Of his slapping Of two
Shell-shocked soldiers in Sicily.
Asserting that Patton's job Is to
carry out his military assignments
without discussing civilian ar
rangements, Bushfield said he felt
the general had stepped out Of
bounds" In view Of the fact that
his promotion Is pending, Patton's
statement was "unwise," Bushf1eld
added.
Patton's statement brought ex-
pressions Of surprise and displeasure
from army and congressional
sources.
Chairman Sol Bloom, D., N. Y,
Of the House Foreign Affairs COM
mittee said, Let God rule the world
and we'll be all right"
The war department said Moth
ing offlcially, but army officials were
said to be amazed that Patton would
make such a controversial remark
in view Of the controversy over the
slapping incident.
Sen. Ellison D. Smith, D., s. c.,
said, IT think it's best for us to
rule ourselves and treat the rest Of
the wrold as our friends"
Sen. Edwin G. johnson, D., Colo,
q member Of the military affairs
committee said such talk is not
only nonSenSical but is miSchievouS. !"
He declined to anticipate what eff
feet the statement would have on
Patton's promotion.
Rep. Jessie Sumner, r., Ill, said
PattonS remarks were "as balmy as
Hitler" Others used the word 'un-
fortunate" to describe the speech
and its possible effect on Allied
unity.
