Cleaning Lights,
RefIetfors Will
Save Electricity

Reduce cost of lighting by fire.
quently cleaning light bulbs, re-
Electors, and reflector bowls, says
Grace Ryan, home management
specialist for the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service at the University
of Arizona.
Dust always collects = but at
this time of the year insects col
lecting on bulb tops or in re-
flector bowls present further
problems.
Wash with soap and water.
When these parts of the lamp are
covered with dust or insects light
lis reduced and eye strain in
creases. Another help to reduce
eye strain and to save electricity
is replacing the light bulbs before
they are worn out.
By the time a light bulb looks
dark under the glass it should be
replaced. Letting it continue burn
ing is wasteful of electricity as
well as creating eyestrain.
Once the bulb is darkened in
side, it may give off only about
half as much light as a new bulb.
Just as much electricity is used
with about half as much light
given off. If the darkened look
doesn't rub off even with a damp
cloth-throw it out and replace
it with a new bulb.
The reason bulbs darken is that
small pieces of the filament, the
part which glows and gives off the
light, break off and deposit on
the glass. This is an indication
that the filament is wearing thin.
Eventually the filament breaks
from the heating or cooling by
turning the switch on or off.
When fluorescent lights flicker
they should be replaced with new
tubes or possibly new starter.
But remember = don't break the
fluorescent tube unless you do so
under water, for the dust in the
tube is poisonous.

Report Western
Gardens Face i
Threat Soon

A. threat to all plants, shrubs
and trees, the omniverous looper,
a leaf-eating caterpillar, will be
active in Western gardens this
summer, warns Sunset Magazine
in an article in the July issue.
The caterpillar is known to at
tack at least 40 ANIMALS, peren-
mails, shrubs and trees, chewing
large holes in the leaves of the
plant. DDT or lead arSenate will
destroy the looper when applied
at the larva or caterpillar stage.
Lindane, the new insecticide, has
also been used successfully, says
Sunset. Deriving it's name from
the fact that it will eat almost
anything, and because of the Pc
culiar way it loops its body in
movement, the omniverous looper
often hides during the day in a
webbing it makes by drawing the
leaves into a protective shelter.

At night it comes out to feed and
it is then that the plant is dam

may be destroyed during the day
by examining plants for its self

the leaves of the host plant, any

TB Death Rafe
Shows Marked Drop

tuberculosis took a toll of 568
lives in Arizona during 1949, &C
cording to a report released from
the Division of Vital Statistics,
State Department of Health. This
shows a marked drop in tubercu-
losis mortality in the state, as
compared with the calendar year
of 1948, when 666 tuberculosis
death victims were recorded.
Rates computed at present show
that the 1949 tuberculosis death
rate. stands at 1873 per 100000
population, as contrasted with the
1948 rate of 95.1 on the same pop
ulation basis. The absence of valid
population estimates makes it i'm
possible to compute other rates
bearing on the disease, but these
will be determined as soon as new
1850 census figures are released,
states James B. Swayne, director
of the State Division of Vital Sta
tiSticS.
A total of ATS victims of the dis
ease last year were Arizona resi-
dents. Of all those who died of
tuberculosis in the state, it is
known that 237 contracted the
disease here. A total of 199 were
tuberculosis patients before COM
ing to Arizona. It is not known
whether the remaining 1872 persons
who died from tuberculosis in
Arizona contracted the disease
within this state or elsewhere.
Pulmonary tuberculosis accoun-
ted for 419 of the T.B. deaths oc-
curing among state residents last
year. Deaths from occupational
disease of the lung totaled 81,
while tuberculosis of meningines
and the central nervous system
claimed 26 lives. Deaths from other
forms of tuberculosis were extrem-
ely low.
Ninety-five T.B. death victims
were newcomers, who had resided
in the state for less than year.
In proportion to population, this
would indicate that high per-
centage of T.B. deaths in the state
occur among health seekers, who
already have the disease upon
coming here. T.B. deaths recorded
were highest among those who
had lived in Arizona for more
than 10 years, with a total of 1853.
A total of 124 were lifetime resi-
dents, SO, one to four-year resi-
dents; 73, five to nine year resi-
dents, and Ia, whose length of
residence in the state was un-
known.

number of prominent Negro citi-

implications. This group conclud-
ed that job opportunities should

substitute for regular paid en-
ployment.
Employment, Employabliity and
Rehabilitation" was the topic for
discussion in Section two. The
group of 80 persons experienced
in this particular field felt that
specialists should be made avail

 AT 10TH CENTURY

Life can be stranger than fic- tion-and equally tlramaticl A vivid example of this is in the new film, Come to the Stable" which starts tomorrow at the Gross 20th Century Theatre. in which two penniless French nuns armed with only a prayer and a promise perform the seemingly impossible through the exercise of simple faith.
 In the motion picture, the two heart warming sisters, portrayed by academy awards winners Loretta Young and Celeste Holm, go through series of experiences filled with drama and high humor before they manage to acquire the fund and land for a children's hospital.
 And while fans throughout the nation will be watching the two lovely stars achieve their dream on the screen. high up in the hills of Litchfield County in Connecti- cut. today stands the Regina Lau- dis Monastery as monument to the efforts and the faith of two real-life sisters, Mother Benedict Duss and Donna Mary Aline Trilles de Warren.

RESEARCH NUDE PIX U OF " HITS
 PARENTS PROTEST

v 2 s
 SEATTLE, Sept. IS = B = Full length nude photographs of girls who are entering the University of Washington caused a campus furor today.
 The photographs were made for a research laboratory of the Colum- bia University (New York City) Medical School.
 Parents raised a storm of protest, and university authorities said the picture taking would be stopped immediately.
 The young women, mostly fresh men or transfer students, com- plained they had not been told why they were being posed.
 A university spokesman said neg atives exposed Monday and Tuesday would be impounded until a full investigation is made.
 Miss Barbara Honeyman, Exec utive Director of Constitution Lab oratory, the Columbia University Medical School research project, said the photos were being taken for pr. William Sheldon, a widely known scientist writing series of books on the relation of human structure to human behavior.
 Miss Honeyman blamed the out burst on an unexpectedly heavy registration. She said it was im- possible to keep the girls standing in line while they were to be told what it was all about.
 We had so many girls standing in line we were not able to answer all their questions" Miss Honey man said.
