DDT Resistant Fly.

There are large. loud buzzing
flies that can take DDT In their
stride. suffering no III effects
from a large dose Of what makes
their cousins groggy.
In California. there are super
flies that are 800 times more
resistant to DDT than their
Florida cousins. Those In Flor
ida. however. are not knocked
out by the first dose: it takes
repeated ones to lay them low.
Flies resistant to DDT were
first reported in 1916 by Army
officers in Italy, working to wipe
out the plague Of f1y-borne dis
eases. But soon after the reports
were published. resistant flies
were buzzing around In northern
Sweden and Egypt and In many
places in the United States.
Investigation proved that these
troublemakers did not become
tolerant of the spray by sampling,
but were born with their re-
sistance. These super-fiies sur
yive q straight-in-the-face at
tack. going on to produce a pro-
digious number with the same
resistance.
What makes these tormentors
able to resist DDT? They have
the ability to convert it into
something harmless to their
constitution. But they met their
equal when sprayed with insec-
ticides like pyrethrum which did
not contain chlorine.
Farmer gladly cooperate with
scientists In fighting disease car
riers. They make reports that
help greatly with the work being
carried forward to rid our coun-
try Of these unwelcome guests.

AWord to the Wise
By Mrs. Frank Colby

@. I could hardly believe my
eyes when ! read In the column
Of Americas leading social
arbiter the word "finicky." It's
slang, isn't it?-Mrs. s. L.
A. No. The word derives from
fine" and it has three per-
missible spellings I'd finical,
pronounced FIN-i-kI: ca fin-
licking, pronounced FIN-i-king;
90 f1nicky, pronounced FIN-i-
kee. The last form prevails in
American usage. The diction-
aries give complete sanction to
all three in the meaning of
"unduly dainty; squeamish; too
meticulouS; fussy."
There Is nothing improper in
the word, however spelled.
Now that the hurricane season
is well advanced, it might be
wise to take stock of our pro-
nunciation of the word hurri-
cane. Many of us say "HURR-i-
k'n," obscuring the vowel in the
third syllable, and this pronun-
citation is listed as second choice
by few dictionaries. It is much
better usage. however. to rhyme
the third syllable with all other
-ane words, such as bane, Dane,
lane, name, pane, etc. Say:
HURR-i-cain.
Incidentally. these dreaded
and destructive storms (they
are in reality gigantic cyclones)
take their name from the devil
Hurakan, the thunder and light
ming god of the Quiche Indians,
a once dominant people Of South
America. They believed that
Hurakan (hoo-rah-KAHN) sent
the terrifying storms against
the people as a sign of his dis
pleasure.

~ minutes.
There were some sharp gamers
including Reynolds Metals, up
between 3 and 4 points: Ingersoll
Rand UP between 4 and S, and
United States Gypsum up around
5 points.
Tobacco shares were depressed
from the start on the heels of a

Our New Foreign Policy

One Of the most notable declarations
on foreign policy made by our Govern
ment in many years was made by Sec
rotary or State Dulles before the Coun-
Gil Of Foreign Relations on January IL.
The former policy Of attempting to
support any nation. such as Korea,
situated on. the periphery Of the COM
lnunist powers. at whatever point the
aggressors might choose to bring force
to bear. has been abandoned. The new
policy Is that Of retaliation. not on the
periphery but at vital points Of the ag-
gressors' domains Of our own choosing
and. by clear and necessary irnplica-
ton. through atomic weapons.
While seeking bipartisan support and
expressing well-deserved appreciation
Of five foreign relations measures
taken by the last administration, Mr..
Dulles showed that the change Of policy
he announced had been made i'm
perative by conditions now existing.
The former policy having been
abandoned on strong grounds. the only
courses now alternative to that an
nounced. would seem to be that Of q
preventive war, q thought abhorrent
to all western peoples. and that Of ap-
peasement and diplomatic retreat.
which would gradually lessen the num-
Der and the strength Of our allies, in
crease correspondingly the strength OF
the aggreSsors and promote the aims

Natter Of Toke-Home Poy

The Star recently carried an article
headlined 10000 Rail Firemen and
Enginemen Win Scent Pay Increase"
There were some inaccuracies. The
heading was misleading. since only the
firemen received the raise mentioned.
The story explained that the railroads
are bargaining separately with the
engineers.
The pay rates, which were volun-
teered by railroad spokesman. as the
article states. were very misleading.
The story said Under the old rate,
members Of the union in yard service
averaged. $436 a month. while those in
road service averaged about $780,"
This figure of $436 is about what an
engineman makes at present working
a six-day week. BY subtracting the
difference in pay scale, number Of work
days. ETC., the average fireman will
make about $315 month at the old
rate. Under the new rate he will make
around So or $40 month more. Due
to special concessions on some types
Of Job. he will even go to $3.50. But
this will be tops. and not the average.
Perhaps II you print this it might
help some fireman explain to his wife
where all the money he Is supposed
to be making is going.
