ponds and dams should have mosquito fish put in them. Old
tin cans, pals, and bottles that hold water should be remov-
ed.

They are attracted by dampness, bits of food, and trash Of
all kinds and are difficult to exterminate, but complete clean
illness and residual" sprays there are several good ones on

Ants are difficult to fight because they are small and may
come in great numbers. Ants are attracted by various food
substances, especially fats and sweets. These foods should be
kept in closed containers, and crumbs or small. amounts spill
ed on shelves or tables should be cleaned off at once. The
best control is to spray or sprinkle chlordane Zone tablespoon
full to a gallon Of waterl all around the outside of the house,
and a yard or so up the outside Of the walls. Also sprinkle
any nests you can find near the house.
Chlordane and the insect sprays are all poisonous, and
should be used with care, exactly according to directions,
and aways kept cut Of the way Of pets and children.

How 10 Free the House Of Common Household Pests"
Practically every homemaker has worried over the appear
ance of an apparently never-ending procession OF ants, or
over damage by mice and many other pests. There is scarce
" a house that does not suffer from such invasions at some
time. Pests are not only annoying, but they should be eradi-
Gated because they destroy property and, are a menace to
health. Many of the pests are known carriers of disease.
A ct Of patient research has been done on warfare against
flies, mosquitoes, and mice. In order to make prevention pos
sible, it is necessary to know the life cycle and food habits
of each pest.
Preyention is the first consideration. The first step in this
is to keep the pests out. We use screens to keep out flies
and mosquitoes. Houses are built tight among other reasons,
to keep out mice and rats. OF course the exclusion must be
complete if no pests are to get in. One loose window screen
may fill the house with flies, and one door that stands par
TALLY open may let in mice or rats to start a colony of these
animals. We should plan for total exclusion, even though
situations may arise that make it impossible. 1t is especially
difficult to be wholly successful when here are little chill
dren in the home. An open door or an unlocked window
screen can easily undo weeks Of caution. Cleanliness is the
second step. No food should be left uncovered, crumbs
should be swept up, and there should be regular
disposal of garbage. Dark corners should be kept clean. En-
tire removal of the pests food supply would keep them
away, and cleanliness does much to prevent their finding
food.
Prevention measures should be practiced all the time. The
pests reproduce so rapidly that they are much easier to keep
out than to get rid of, and sometimes, in spite of all precau-
lions, they do get in. Measures for determination are then
necessary.
Each pest requires a specific method for determination.
Perhaps of all the household pests, flies are the most com
mon They have long been known to spread disease. They
live and breed in filthy places, and then come into our homes.
They multiply very rapidly, and in a year two flies can pro-
duce millions. Screens, swatters, flypaper, traps, poisons, and
sprays or bug bombs are effective.
Mosquitoes, one species Of which carries malaria, another
yellow and denptIe fever. and all of which cause discomfort

81 Vote Denies Water
To Cipriono Rood Homes

The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission yesterday
refused water service to resi-
dents along Cipriano road in
Prince Georges County.
The residents along Cipriano
and Good Luck roads were
guaranteed continuance Of their
public water hydrant. but the
commissioners ruled the hydrant
definitely will be metered.
The requested extension along
Cipriano was turned down by a
3-to-2 vote when engineers re-
ported the project would cost
about $4,000 per home-about
four times the amount set as a
guide to determine financial
soundness of water extensions.
Al Homes to Serve
The $4,000 figure was based
on the cost of installing a small
main adequate to serve the Al
homes on the road, and not To-
inch main engineers would in
stall to provide for future de-
velopment. Difference in the cost
figures would have been financed
by water construction bonds.
The extension denial was voted
over vigorous objections from
Commissioner j. Norman Ager.
Pointing out that residents of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-21

the area have been using the
hydrant for IA years, Mr.. Ager
said:
THE sanitary commission has
treated them as a bunch of
orphans since 1912. They're
human beings and they need
water"
Mr.. Ager criticized the other
commissioners for what he said
was a failure to realize the area
would develop rapidly if water is
provided.
Cites Hyattsville
He said the commissions
action was inconsistent with
previous projects running along
water extensions into the
Gaithersburg and Bowie areas.
Besides" he said, you're
giving the town of Hyattsville
all the water it wants for free"
Mr.. Ager was supported by
Commissioner James B. Bland.
Voting against the extension
were Commissioners L. S. Ray,
Willard Morris and Frank Hewitt.
The six other public hydrants
within the sanitary district also
will be metered, the commits
sionerS decided. but some might
be cut off if i. is determined the
demand does not justify them.

Other factors which imperiled

Failure of electric current sup

fire alarm system and employee
training in fire emergencies.

mately LOO persons in the hall
when the fire was discovered.
This number, he said, would
indicate very crowded conditions
and lack of adequate aisle space

He noted that all of the 10
persons found dead in the hall
were women. A man died sub
sequently from injuries.
Mr.. Stevens reported evidence
that some eight minutes elapsed
between the time the fire was
first noted from outside the
building and the time evacua-
ton began. During that time,
he said, different individuals at

Failure to evacuate the build
ing on detection of fire or to call
the fire department was the pri-
mary cause of the loss of life,"
he said.

BALTIMORE, Mar. 81 (P.-
Maryland political candidates
went before a group of labor
leaders today for their second
straight day Of questioning by a
Statewide organization.
Every major candidate except
Willard E. Tydings. running in
the Democratic Senate primary,
was expected at an all-day ses-
sion sponsored by the Maryland
District of Columbia Federation
Of Labor and the Maryland CLIO.
Mr.. Tydings. who had previ-
ously set today aside for a tour
of Carroll County, said yester-
day he had already undergone
about two hours of questioning
at a specially arranged meeting
with officials Of the two labor
groups.
But George P. Mahoney. the
other major candidate in the
Democratic Senate race, and Re-
publican Senator John Marshall
Butler were scheduled to appear.
Composite Photo Cited
At a similar session before the
League of Women Voters yester-
day, Mr.. Tydings declared Mr..
Butler didn't have the manhood
to denounce" the controversial
composite photo used by Butler
aides six years ago. That was
during the campaign which re-
suited in Mr.. Tydings' defeat
after "a years in the Senate.
Mr.. Butler, sitting only a few
feet away, made no direct reply.
Later, however. he said this land
any other question I have failed
to answer here today will be
answered-and answered amply
at a time of my own choosing"
The photo purported to show
Mr.. Tydings in pleasant CONVEX
sation with Earl BroWder, Com
munist Party chief. An investi-
cation showed the picture was
made from separate photos of
the two men.
Mr.. Mahoney sent word he
couldn't make 1t because of auto
mobile trouble near HagerstoWn
Sees Presidents Reelection
Mr.. Butler spoke before Mr.
Tydings. During the five minutes
allotted. he said: THE people
like Ike. believe he will be over
whelmingly reelected by them
They steadfastly believe he has
led our nation to peace and pros
perity."
Urging election of a Republic
can majority in Congress, he
said: II urge you to compare
my record of accomplishment in
my first six years of Office with
the records Of any Senators-Mr
Truman, the beloved Senator
Taft. or my predecessor"
He said it is a record Of &C
complishments for the best in
terests of tobacco growers. farm
ers, the shipping and ship-repair
industries and small business.
Mr.. Tydings said. Unlike Sem
ator Butler, I am not running
for the presidency of the United
States, and I am not running on
anybody's coat-tails.' He said
"Our first problem is war and
peace. I believe we must
work to preserve the peace and
do it with justice and honor"

Negro Housing
Action Urged
In Alexandra

The Alexandria City Council
was asked last night to recon-
slider its disapproval of con-
structing low-cost housing units
for Negroes in a block in the
northern section of the city.
The council, on February %,
turned down a request by the
Alexandria Redevelopment and
Housing Authority for permission
to. condemn the block bounded
by First, Alfred. Montgomery and
Patrick streets. The block is
owned by Safeway Stores which
wants to build a grocery there.
Several Negro leaders said last
night the position of many col
ored citizens was misrepresented
at Nthe February hearing when
a resident said the colored Elks
Lodge had voted in favor of the
store.
Need of Homes Stressed
Richard o. Poole, a Negro
member of the City Democratic
Committee. and lodge officials
said the lodge, which has more
than 300 members, had never
voted on the issue.
1--WE need homes in Alexan-
dria, we don't need a store, 3"
Mr.. Poole said.
The Housing Authority planned
to build IS units on the block
as an addition to an existing
project for colored families.
The Council deferred action
ON the request for a week and
also asked the Housing Authority
for a report on whether there
is any other land in the area
that could be used for conStruc-
ton of colored housing facilities
Marina Request Deferred
The Council also deferred &C.
ton on a request for the lease
of city-oWned property on the

Two Montgomery County
Democrats seeking the party's
nomination for Congress in the
Maryland Sixth District agreed
last night on one thing.
They will center their attack
on the Republican incumbent.
Dewitt Hyde. on what they
charged is his addiction to the
Madison avenue mythology"
j. Graham Walker, member OF
the County Council, and John
H. Foley. a Judge of the county
Orphans Court. took up the line
last night at a rally of the 18th
and 18th precinct workers OF
the 18th District at the Indian
Spring Country Club, Silver
Spring.
Mr.. Walker charged that Mr..
Hyde voted against the interests
of county consumers when he
supported the bill to remove
natural gas from Federal con-
troll. He declared that the justi-
flcation for Mr.. Hyde's vote was
based on a QUESTIONABLE which
drew only 80 replies.
Mr.. Foley told the audience OF
80 party workers that the Re-
publican peace and prosperity
slogan was manufactured on
Madison avenue out Of myth and
fancy to sell a product"

candidates, drew a spokesman
for only one of the two states
