BUG PROBLEMS.

mrs. A. M. L., ArlingtonJ
I am frantically looking for
help from some reader re-
garding a type of bug that has
been bothering me for the last
three or four weeks. It is
about an inch to an inch and
a half long and is dark brown
with a hard shell and resem-
bles a water bug. My house
and cellar are very clean and
dry and I can't imagine where
they come from. I have used
all kinds of sprays, etc., to no
avail. I find them in station
ary tubs in the basement, on
the cellar floor. in cupboards,
under the kitchen sink and on
floors in my house. Two of
the most peculiar things have
happened. I have a collection
of cacti and every night one
Of these creatures digs in one
of the bowls and makes a deep
hole and scatters the dirt on
the window sill and I can't
seem to catch him. Another
thing is that I have found
them in a sack of potatoes
that I bought and in a week
Or so I have to get rid of the
whole sack because they have
bored holes in the potatoes.
They seem to be found in
groups of fives or six in a GER
tain room of the house and
sometimes when you come
upon them in the evening and
turn on the light they are on
their backs with feet in the
air as though in a stupor.
Please advise me of any
names of sprays that I might
use, or books that I might get
from the Department of Ag-
riculture regarding these crea-
lures.

TRAILER FOR CAR.
mrs. Z. S. G.. Cottage Cityl

MRS. L. S. G., Cottage CityJ
Answering Mrs. L. j. G.,
Washington, I would like to
say that in the opinion of my
husband and myself, travelling
with a trailer is the only way
to travel. We have a 16-foot
vacation trailer which we have
been pulling for five years
now. We have made two trips
to Florida, one to the Eastern
Shore and across by ferry to
Norfolk and on down into
North Carolina to Nag's Head;
one up to the Finger Lakes
region in New York State and
countless shorter trips within
a 150-mile radius of Washing
ton. We find our travelling
costs much less since I prepare
most of our meals in the trailer
and so our meals run no more
than they would at home.
Parking in trailer parks at
night usually costs a dollar.
although occasionally a court
charges $1.25. The difference
in gas mileage when pulling
the trailer is not much. Per-
haps you get a couple Of miles
more per gallon without the
trailer.
Neither of us care to see
how far we can go in a day,
so we usually drive about $50
miles a day. When we first
start out it takes a few miles
to get used to having the
trailer tagging along, but after
that it's a cinch. My husband
usually drives SIS miles per
hour when we have a good
road.
We have been using the
same car, a 1947 Pontiac. ever
since we bought this trailer,
and I can't tell that it has
harmed the car in any way.
OF course, trailers are ex-
penSive to rent and the rent
on one may use up all you
would save on motel bills. Also
two weeks isn't long to take
a trip of that length and have
any time to spend sightseeing
and just dawdling.
If you decide to go by trailer
here's hoping you will have
a good trip.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE?
MRS. L. F., Alexandria
Can any of the readers give
me the recipe for real old
fashioned strawberry short
cake? Not the kind with
biscuit dough. The one my
mother used to bake was yel-
low and fluffy. She baked it
in a sheet pan and cut the
cake in half and made two
layers. Do any of you know a
recipe like this?

DETROIT?
mrs. A. H. o., Washington
Within q month we will be
moving to Detroit, Mich, and
hope that some kind reader
will come to our assistance
with answers to some Of our
questions concerning the city,
since neither my husband nor
I have ever been there. We
will need a two-bedroom
apartment. Is housing diff
cult to find? Is 1t expensive?
What section Of the city
would be comparable to the
northwest section here? We
have a teen-age daughter who
will attend high school-can
some one give me any infor-
nation about schools? With
out a doubt, the weather will
be different than that here in
Washington. Will the winters
be colder and the summers
cooler? Any information a
reader can give me will be
very much appreciated.
One of the first things I
thought Of when my husband
told me he was being trans
ferred was to write to the
Readers Clearing House. We
both will miss it and wish
the column much continued
success.

without financial resOurces-or
support OF any kind, for that mat
ter-to see her through an expert
ence that could change the whole
pattern Of her life. Such a mother
is usually so upset-and justifi-
ably worried-that she is vulner-
able to pressures that might not
lead to the best decision as to
what she should do about her baby
and herself. The offer Of money
from a black maFketeer and his as
surance that her baby will have a
fine home may we'll seem to her a
reasonable solution to her prob
lem.
One move, then, toward the so
luton of the baby black market is
to make sure: (1) that there is a
well-staffed social agency to help
unmarried mothers who need help
and that there be sufficient stan
so that unWaTranted delays do not
occur; (2) that such mothers get
in touch with that agency early in
! pregnancy; and CD that sucn mo-
/ theirs receive nnanclal ala from Lne
agency with medical and other eX-
penses when that is necessary. The
Los Angeles COunty's Committee
on Unmarried Parents is an excel
lent example Of aggressive action
by a group of citizens working on
these fronts.
At the other end Of the dea
which makes a baby black marke
possible are the people who wan
to adopt children. Most of then
prefer young babies, and there arr
not enough babies to meet the de
mand. Their desire is often so in
tense that they are apt to becOm'
impatient at the slowness Of agen
cy procedure.
New York State is trying to dis
courage black marketing on thi
