If moths attacked your woolens
and furs last summer, regrets will
avail you nothing. These invaders
from Europe destroy two billion
dollars worth of property annually.
Intelligent control and annihilation
is the answer. Though all the text
books assure us that clothes moths
seek "only animal or animal prod
ucts," many have discovered hum
dreds of larvae in cleaning clothes
and in unusual hiding place.
Negligence on our part is playing
into the destroyer's plan for suprem-
acy. Blissfully we swat at flying
moth, satisfied we have side-tracked
trouble. Most likely she has dropped
her bombs on treasured rug or fur.
With her bomb-bay clear she is
merely stunt flying.
1t is true, if you kill a female
before she deposits her hundred
eggs, you are safe from that many
property destroyers.
Most moths are night gad-abouts,
resting all day, wings spread fiat in
some dark corner out of sight.
During the centuries clothes moths
have become bolder. They are adept
dodgers.
The one with which we are most
familiar is red-headed Tineola
biselliella. She Is clad in cream
colored chiffon. Her offspring build
silk tents under which they live
while travelling over your property.
They could find enough nourishment
in one inch Of cloth, but they like
to roam about nibbling.
A cousin, Tinea pellionella, has
youngsters that are very ambitious.
They are known as case-bearers
which are really 'trailers.' The out
side often resembles the material
being worked on, but the inside is
of pure white silk. These fellows
grow fast. In order to accommo-
date the extra girth, the caterpillar
turns tailor. He cuts q straight line
from one side of his case to the
center, pulls 1t apart then fills

Jefferson Drive Opens
After Widening; Mall
Roads Improved

Widening of Jefferson drive and
improvement of roadways in the
Smithsonian Institution grounds
in the Mall-a major job of the
National Capital Parks Office-is
virtually completed after two
months.
Jefferson drive, from Twelfth to
Seventh streets, was opened to the
public yesterday. Providing now
for three traffic lanes. the roadway
has been Strengthened, repaved and
widened to SO feet.
Park officials inspected the COM
pleted job, supervised by P. E.
Smith and William G. Hayward,
and pronounced it a big improve
ment over the old network of
winding roads, shortcut paths
and traffic hazards. The job cost
$50,000 and was done by Corson
81 Gruman Co., contractors, who
have constructed many roadways
for NCP.
Madison Drive Plans.
Harry T. Thompson, assistant
superintendent of NCP, announced
that Madison drive will be cut
through the Mall from Seventh to
Ninth streets to facilitate traffic.
The Public Roads Bureau will
open bids for this work on Feb
ruary /.
The new roadway past the
Smithsonian grounds gives mo-
torists and pedestrians a straight
thoroughfare along its five-block
length. Ten-foot sidewalks par
alleling Jefferson = drive now are
completed, except for about half
a block near the Seventh street
end. In most places the sidewalks
are separated from the drive by
a narrow lawn.
Road Entrance Eliminated.
The vehicular entrance to the
old Smithsonian Institution Build
ing. under a stone arch, has been
eliminated. Pedestrians only can
enter now. A diagonal road from
Seventh to Ninth streets, in front
OF the Army Medical Museum. also
has been eliminated.
For many years the numerous
shortcut" paths across lawns
have been a headache to park
officials and q hazard to traffic.
Ali these now are eliminated.
Parking space for employees has
been retained, but some of the
roads between the buildings in
the rear have been closed.
Mr.. Thompson said the i'm
provements will necessitate a gen.
eral landscaping job. Trees will
be planted between sidewalks and
roadways. and sod and evergreens
planted in the areas where grad
ing was necessary and roadways
Strengthened.

7 axe Nv Word for 1t

@. Won't you do us a good turn
and put the word hurricane through
your pronunciation clinic? How
should we pronounce the last syl-
lable?-R. B. F.
A. Many Of us say "HUR-i-k'n'" ..
obscuring the vowel in the third
syllable. This pronunciation is
listed as second choice by few
dictionaries. 1t is much better usage,
however, to rhyme the third syllable
with all other -ane words, such as
bane, Dane, lane, name, pane, etc.
A good way to remember the long
"a" sound in the third syllable Is to
keep In mind that whenever q hur-
ricane strikes, it invariably raises
Cain. Therefore, say: HUR-i-cain.
These dreaded and destructive
storms (they are in reality gigantic
cyclones) take their name from the
devil Hurakan, the thunder and
lightning god of the Quiche Indians,
a once-dominant people Of Central
America. They believed that Hura-
kan (hoo-rah-KAHN) sent the ter
rifying storms against the people

Goren on Bridqe

Where declarer Is faced with
choice Of two distinct lines of action,
the percentage play"-that is, the
one which promises greater prob
ability of success-should naturally
be selected.
At times, however, the campaign
may be so mapped as to permit
several lines Of play In succession
that is to say, one method may be
tried and If 1t fails there Is still
available another play which may
win the hand.
While the final contract in today's
hand Is sound enough, We do not
sanction the manner in which it
was reached. South's leap to four
hearts was a distinct exaggeration
of his values and was the needless
assumption Of a risk. Note in this
particular case he would have
reached game by the proper rebid
of three hearts, for North, holding
maximum values for single raise
90 points in high cards and distri-
bution), would have been pleased to
accept the game invitation.
West opened trump and declarer
drew one more round. It appeared
to him that everything depended on
the location of the jack of spades,
so he wasted no time in taking the
finesse of the ten. When this failed
he was down one. Declarer had
overlooked several chances. Every
thing did not depend on the success
of the spade finesse.
First of all, there was the remote
chance that one defender held
queen, jack and one other club, in
which case the ten could be estab-
lished in dummy by rufing once.
Declarer's first play should have
been the ace, king and another club.
When the two honors failed to drop
he should ruff out the last club. The
remaining trump is extracted and
now the enemy is given the ball with
q diamond. If West wins the second
lead of that suit, it's all over but
the shouting because he Is obliged
to lead into South's tenance in
spades.
If East wins the second trick,
rs he should, he will lead a low
spade presumably. South should
play low. He is now home If East
has either the nine or the jack.
Note that if the lead is from the
nine, it will take Vests jack to
force the queen, and If It is from
the jack, the flnesse of the ten will
work next time.
