Colorado Potato Beetle
The adult beetle is grey WITH,
10 narrow black stripes down its
back. It has hard shell and is
about 3-8 inch long and half
round in shape. This insect does
the most damage while in its
larval stage. The larvae feed on
the leaves and often defollate
the plants. z..r-.z
The adult appears above the
ground in April or May. The
female lays from 2 to 70 eggs in
patches, usually on the underside
of the leaves. The eggs are
yellowish-orange, oval, and about
1-16 inch long.
The eggs hatch into soft, brick
red larvae or slugs in from q
to 9 days. While in the larval
stage the insect feeds alllios.

inch long. It is then mature and
it drops to the ground and bur

in the pupa stage for about 2
weeks it reappears above ground

LAUNDERING RAYoN

Textile specialists tell US sum-
mer rayons would give greater
satisfaction in wear and appear
ance if women generally would
not try to launder them like cot
tons. Many women do not realize
that the two fabrics react diff
ferently to moisture and heat.
Rayons become weaker when wet
while cottons are slightly strong
er. Therefore, rayons need gentl-
er treatment both in washing
and ironing. Rayons are more
easily damaged by heat than cot
tons so should be pressed with
a cooler iron.
Rayons are not difficult to
iron; they are just different. the
specialists say. Usually they do
not need to be as moist as cot
tons for ironing. They should be
ironed on the. wrong side Of the
fabric so that any shine left by

the fabric should not be pulled

Above all, the iron should moi
be too hot. It is a good idea to
start ironing with the temporal
ture set low and let the iron be-
come hotter until the ideal heat
for the goods is found.
Collars, pockets and trimmings

soiled so that they need little or
no rubbing to become clean. An
hours soak in cool suds will
loosen much of the soil and save
strenuous washing.
II handkerchiefs are washed
in the machine along with other
clothes, it is a good idea to tie
them in a loose cheesecloth bag
and let them 60 through both

This saves them from wear IN
washing and from the chance OF
getting caught on wringer rolls.
If properly washed and thor
oughly rinsed and sun-dried,
handkerchiefs should need no
bleaching which is apt to be hard

necessary only In case OF colds
or contagious diseases, and then
lit is better to use paper handker-
chiefs which can be discarded.
Pin handkerchiefs to the line

Care: The man Of the house

suade him to use paper or cot

and save his linen handkerchief

Flea Beetle
There are two kinds commonly
found in Washington. The ives
tern potato flea beetle and the
tuber flea beetle. The adult of
both kinds eats numerous small
holes in the leaves Of the potato
plant. The larvae of the tuber
flea beetle attacks the tubers and
.auses rough, unsightly scars, or
"pimples" on the skin and brown
tunnels" or 'slivers" within the
tuber. The larvae Of the wes-
tern flea beetle feeds on the
small roots and rarely attacks
the tubers.

inch long when full grown. It is
slender and cylindrical and con-
sists of a number Of hard seq
ments, or joints. It feeds on the
potato seed pieces as well as
the growing tubers and the under
ground parts of the stalk, caus-
ing tunnels in the potatoes.
Wireworms grow very slowly,
with most Of the species needing
8 years to complete the life cycle.
They are found nearly anywhere
in the state. Some kinds are "

lands. Large numbers Of wire

aphid Is most numerous. The a.

Abe has great faith in the AM
erican public, and will argue both
loud and long with anyone who
processes to believe that the aver
age American is no smarter than
a reasonably bright twelve-year-
old. In fact, his most devastating
satire is directed at songs, travel
ogues and other entertainment
forms which proceed on the as
sumption that the average citi-
zen is not overly intelligent.
Still, when he first performed

had his misgivings. His theories
about public intelligence, as well
as his act, were on trial. His sue

the degree of it left him pleasant

July, 1947, he clicked so solidly
that he started 1913 with an i'm

certain things look funny to him,
certain pompous things seem en-
inently in need of deflating-and
Abe is just the guy to do the de-

Cliches in the writing of popu-
