 Spots in New York 10 Close dt 12

NEW YORK, March 19 Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia is on the end of grandioSe verbal brickbats and bouquets after the city had gone ahead on it's own to l o'clock in the morning curfew.
 The mayor flatly stated "a rigid l2 o'clock curfew won't work in New York City" yesterday. He told operators of amusement places they might move back the closing time one hour Most of them did last night and did a landoffice business during the "hour of tol- erance."
 His move, admittedly catching the federal officials by surprise, brought no immediate official comment from Washington.

 WASHINGTON, March l9-Lib- eralized draft deferments for young men in five major industries, in- cluding coal mining. transportation, steel, synthetic rubber and mining of copper. lead and zinc, were an- by Selective Service heads.
 The action, which will permit de- ferments to exceed the 30 per cent which has been in effect just one month, of men aged IS through 20 years, means more de, ferred men over 30 will have to be drafted.
 Aircraft manufacturers are be- sieging Washington for similar re- lief.

LONDON, March l9-RAF heavy bombers hammered two vital Ger man communications eenters be- hind the Western Front last night while Mosquitoes delivered their twenty-seventh straight night raid on Berlin, which is still smoking.
 A record-breaking daylight raid by 1900 U. s. bombers was made Sunday.
 Targets of the British heavies were Written, 26 miles east of Duis- burg, in the heart of the Ruhr Valley, and Hanau, six miles east of Frankfort on Main. Both blows were apparently carried out in great strength.
 U. s. Fortresses and Liberators lit Berlin Sunday and rained about 5000 tons of bombs on the battered capital at the crushing rate of 50 tons a minute It was the thirty fourth successive daylight assault on Germany by American war planes Seven hundred U. S.. lighters accompanied the great armada of heavy bombers.
 The Tank bombers concentrated on the railroad yards in the heart of Berlin and armament plants in the industrial suburbs. One group of American Mustangs ranged be- yond and teamed up with IS Rus sian fighters that were defending a Russian -held airfield east of the Oder River, from German dive bomberS.

the market in the form of a ten
per cent dust such as that being
used by the public health depart
ment. This is effective in the
control OF fleas on dogs but should
not be used on cats because of a
cats habit of frequently licking
itself This dust is also good in
the control of reaches when in
jected into cracks and crevices
with a dust gun.
DDT when mixed with stand
ard insecticides appears to inn
prove the killing power Of such
insecticides but, being diluted to
such an extent leaves no coating
on the wall surfaces as does the
stronger DDT which may leave
an effective coating on a surface
for several months.
Since the amount of DDT corr
tanned in a preparation will de-
termine to great extent its
efficiency, any DOT mixture
should be purchased from reli-
able souces and the percentage of
DDT should be ascertained before
purchase is made, Mr.. Beard ad-

The use of DDT to kill the
germ-carrying flea is supplement-
ary TO a slower but steady cam
paign being carried on in the
county TO control rats, he ex-
planned. DDT does not kill the
rodent itself.
DDT is effective against the
household pests - flies, mosqui-
toes, reaches, bedbugs and moths
but only if used properly, Mr..
Beard said. There has been a
great deal of talk as to whether
the use of DDT has any effect
on reaches but experiments have
proved that the large brownish
roach is definitely susceptible to
the poison although it seems to
have little effect on the smaller
or waterbug type, he continued.
For household purposes DDT
preparations are likely to appear
in several forms One form is a
two and one-half to five percent
liquid for use as a spray but this
is effective when sprayed on the
walls and ceilings only on insects
resting on the sprayed surfaces a
sufficient length of time and only
when the liquid is sprayed in
proper amount and with the prop
en- equipment. To be effective a
pressure gun should be used,
however, a special nozzle is ne
cessary and these have not yet
been released to the general pub
lie. In the fight against reaches
who travel a special run" a
paint brush may be used in APP
plying the liquid to the surface.

Mrs. Smith Is
Promoted To State
Welfare Position

Mrs. Pauline b. Smith has been
promoted from her present posi-
tion as Jackson County child wei
fare worker 10 that of district
supervisor of child welfare, ac-
cording to an announcement
made by Miss Clara B. Herrin,
director of the county Public We'll
fare department, Thursday. With
this promotion, Mrs. Smith will
become a member of the state
staff of the children's division of
the Department of Public We'll
fare.
Replacing Mrs. Smith in the
county department will be Miss
Minnie Lou Walker who comes
from Hattiesburg where she was
child welfare worker with the
Forrest County Department of
Public Welfare for a year. Pre-
viously she worked for five years
in that capacity in Columbus,
Lowdnes county department.
Child welfare workers in the
state number only 10 or IL and an
effort is being made to give more
comprehensive service to this de-
partment of welfare work by
naming district supervisors who
will also serve as consultants
wherever necessary in the section
in which they work. Mrs. Smith
will be supervisor of the child
welfare departments in Jackson,
Forrest, Jones and Pike counties
but she will be available as con-
sultant in. other counties in this
section, she explained.
For more than nine years, Mrs.
Smith has been actively asso-
ciated with welfare work in this
county and with the general well
fare program in the state prior to
that time. When child welfare
service was added to the Depart
ment of Public Welfare, Mrs.
Smith transferred to the child
ren's division. She was appointed
child welfare worker in Jackson
county and has held this position
continuously except for one year
when she was personnel director
at the Jackson County Mills.
She is graduate of Millsaps
college and took her social work
training at Tulane University and
during the past summer she at
tended Columbia University in
New York for specialized training.
She is member of the Ameri-
can Association of Social Work
ers. Mrs. Smith is leaving the
department well organized and
under her direction considerable
good has been done for the child
rem of this county. Wartime
youth problems for the county
have claimed much of her atten-
ton and would undoubtedly have
been more complex in the county
had it not been for this attention.
Miss Walker is a graduate of
the University of Mississippi and
has had professional training in
social work at Tulane University.
She is a member of the Missis-
sippi chapter of American Asso-
citation of Social Workers.

DDT Effective Only In Proper Strength
And With Right Equipment, Say Experts

With the increased number of
rats apparently serving as the
springboard. the typhus fire.
quency rate in Jackson County
shot upward alarningly during
the past year, according to fig
ures released by the Jackson
County Health Department.
Twice as many cases of the fever
broke out in the county during
the past year as were reported
during the three year period from
1941 to 1914. at8
But the hopes for not only
bringing the disease under con-
troll but for eventually eliminat4
ing it can now be pinned on
DDT, the wonder insecticide de-
veloped during the war. Through
the use of 10 per cent strength
powder, the fleas which transmit
the typhus germ from rat to hui
man can be exterminated and a
very real threat to health elimin-
ated. according to A. j. Beard,
of the u. S. Public Health Scrv-
ice, who is directing the DDT
program in the county.
The busting of business houses
began officially last week and
already two thirds Of the estab-
lishments in the downtown sec
tion of II scagoula have been
"flea proofed' and it is hoped
that places OF business will be
treated throughout the entire
county at an early date. The
busting was begun at the ingalls,
Shipyard Wednesday.
The total number of typhus
fever cases in Mississippi from
io41 to 1914 totaled SGT, accord
ing to health department figures,
and in jackson County during
the same period 2l cases were
reported. OF that number IA of
the cases were reported in 1914.
