housekeeping is the crucial time
when, if ever, household pests are
brought to light; if some of them
have found a way into a house or
apartment prompt and effective
measures are called for. Certain
remedies are best for certain bugs
therefore it is well to recognize
the enemy before attempting to
deal with him. Hence the gal
lery of horrors" on this page.
First and foremost, we have the
common" clothes moth. This
pest is particularly in the lime
light in spring, when winter cloth
ing and furnishings are to be
stored. The adult moth. which
abhors the light. lays up to 30C

peratures. The newly matched
worm or larva crawls at once
spins a silken shelter and pro-
ceeds to eat whatever it finds tt
its taste. This is the destructive
stage. Later it follows the usual
progression into pupa and thence
to moth again. Wool. hair. fur
feathers and items manufactured
from these form the larva's pei
diet. Lint filled cracks in the
floor are especially choice-anc
too often overlooked. Dog ano
cat hairs come under the same
heading.
There are three courses oper
Evening star., 1951-04-11

to the housewife who undertakes
moth control. Either consult a
reliable exterminator; put your
winter woolies in mothproof Stor-
,age-or, if the infestation is slight,
or appears unlikely, use various
methods of local" elimination.
You will find a list of extermin-
ators and storage houses in the
yellow phone book; in the stores
you will find an array Of contact
sprays, aerosol bombs, mothproof-
ing solutions and so on. These
are, for the most part, effective, II
directions on the containers are
faithfully followed. Putting wool
ems, etc., away after being washed
or cleaned is a help in preventing
moth damage, but is not infallible.
Clothing that has just been dry
cleaned or washed, if promptly
sealed in alright paper bundles,
should remain moth free unless
the paper becomes torn. Summing
and brushing is a good old-time
precaution that is equally effective
today-as the brushing dislcdges
and larva present and the sun
causes the larva to seek protection
from its rays, and they will drop
to the ground from clothing left
on a line. But such treatment
requires constant repetition to
avoid reinfestation. Cedar chests
are good, provided the items put
in them are clean and the chests
are TIGHT.
There is so much data about
moth control that space does not
permit us to deal with it in full.

Lets take a look at ourselves
though. For years it has been the
policy of certain organizations,
and individual leaders to use their
influence to help the bad little boy
down the street. This coupled with
the emotional thinking that has
become so prevalent and vocal in
elimination in every social en-
bRrrassment have apparently
brought about a combination of
disgust and fear of repercussion
on the part of all three branches
of our law enforcing agencies.
Add up the column and the an
swer is murder.
Strange as 1t may seem, real
estate politicians are partly re-
spOnsible. st. Paul real estate
tycOOns are proud of our slums.
1t is an accepted fact that slum
clearance Is one of the most eff
fective ways TO curb social de-
linquency. st. Paul has a fine
housing project, but where do
they locate the homes? Not
where they could be identified
with Stun clearance; IL would
indeed take a vivid imagination
to see them even as slum sub
stitutiOn.
Located far from the area
where affected persons live, far
from cheap transportation; far
ther still from the job area, "a
surprising number of low income
workers can't afford carfare), st.
Paul has made its gesture to the
glory of its real estate operators.
