HOW TO CONTROL MOTHS IN HOMES Pest* Will Destroy Anything ^From Clothes to Brushes. Washington, D. C.—Complete elim ination of clothes moths from the home la difficult. They breed not only In wearing apparel, but In carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture, a single piece of which may often furnish a steady supply of moths to restock an entire bouse. They can be reduced, however, in any home or establishment by using the control measures pre scribed by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Persons owning clothing subject t» attack can afford to buy chests or cab inets that are very tight In which to ■tore them. Trunka are usually not moth-proof. Red cedar chests when In good condition are among the tightest containers on the market. Such chests keep out the moths, and the character istic odor of their wood kills any new ly-batched or young moth larvae that may be confined In them with the cloth ing. Tight chests or cabinets, the walls of which can be made to absorb as much cedar oil as Is found In the wood of containers of equal size, are as val uable as cedar chests. “Clothes moths are the prime offend ers smong fabric pests,” says E. A. Black, entomologist, in a department bulletin. They Prefer Darkness. “The common clothes moths are usu ally seen dying In darkened corners and just beyond range of tbe brightest rays of tbe lamp. They prefer dark “The moths, or millers as they are often called, have imperfectly devel oped mouth parts and could not feed upon fabrics if they desired. Their purpose in life Is merely to lay eggs that develop into the worms or larvae, which alone can cause destruction, nevertheless, every moth killed helps to reduce Infestations by preventing bos* sees being laid. The moths lay thalr eggs In and about clothing and ethar objects subject to attack. From the eggs are batched tbe larvae, or ggi me Only tbe worm or larvae of the clothes moth is capable of destroy ing fabrics. “There are two very common spedw at clothes moth. They are the cane —fch»g clothes moth and the webbing Bethea moth. The tapgstry moth la Issn often found, though It may become “The adult sf the case-making elethis moth has a wing expense of ahent half an inch. Its head and fore wfegi are grayish yellow or buff, with faBettnct dark spots en thf middle af Bm outer porticos. The hind wlnga named because the larva, for Its pro tection, makes a portable case out of spun silk and fragments of the fabric upon which it feeds. These cases at tain a length of from four-sixteenths to six-sixteenths of an Inch. The larva almost never leaves Its case. The webbing clothes moth is the most abun dant and injurious clothes moth. Bothered by One Type. During the lust few years, prac- ! tically all Instances of severe elothes rnoth damage reported by manufactur ing plants throughout the North, In cluding Chicago, Boston uod New York, have been associated with this species. Kor years it lias been the prevailing species in certain houses In western Massachusetts and southeastern Con necticut, hence It cannot be said that this webbing clothes moth Is typically Southern In distribution, although It Is often called the ’Southern’ clothes moth. “Clothes moths feed upon wool, fur, hair, feathers, and all fabrics manu facturer! from them. They also relish dried animal matter such as dead In sects, Including the dead of their own species, and untreated skins, beef meal, casein, etc. In experimental work clothes moths have thrived best upon a diet of bristles, hair, feathers, fur, or raw wool, and not so well upon or dinary woolen cloth used In the making of wearing apparel. Notwithstanding this, the damage they cause to wearing apparel has given them a well-deserved reputation as pests. “There may be some satisfaction, however, In knowing that If the death rate among clothes moths feeding upon dyed woolen fabrics was as low as among those feeding upon raw wool, and their growth as rapid as when they feed upon bristles, furs end hair, their capacity for destruction would be In creased enormously. “A single piece of hair-stuffed or feather-stuffed furniture may keep a house well stocked with clothes moths for years.” U. S. Mine Death Rate Triple That of Britain Washington.—Coal miners are being killed three times as fast In the United States as In Great Britain, Royal 8. Meeker, secretary of the Pennsylvania department of labor and Industry, told the annual session of the American Association for Labor Legislation re cently. Both the fatality and the gen eral accident rate among Pennsylvania miners have Increased In spite of safety measures, he said. ▼an A. Bittner of the United Mine Workers of America suggested that conservation of the coal supply and of human Ufa could be directed only through _ih federal Department of Mines. %> also advocated a federal safety composed of miners, coal operator* and government repre sentatives, to compel the Installation at safety davlree la mines. CRIPPLE SAVES 100 WHEN HOTEL BURNS Heroism of Syracuse Man Prevents Disaster. <? Syracuse, N.

Only one guest was reported Injured, John K. J. (Tare of New York, who slid down a rope from the fifth floor and fell to the ground unconscious when several feet above the sidewalk. More than a score were carried down ladders. After Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Hall and little daughter Mary of New York were on a fire escape, the child re membered that she had left tier doll In her morn. Despite the density of the smoke she insisted that her fa ther save the doll. With the play thing safe in her arms Mary consent ed to go down the fire escajie. More than half the guests at the hotel were women and at no time was there any sign of panic. Women and children came down the fire ladders as calmly as did the men. The damage to the building was es timated at $.'10,000, caused mostly by water.
