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

CRIPPLE SAVES 100
WHEN HOTEL BURNS
Heroism of Syracuse Man
Prevents Disaster.
<?
Syracuse, N. Y.—Heroism of a crip
pled man was a vltHl factor In prevent

the Hotel Warner, in which one hun
dred persons were asleep,
Arthur I’rieur, one of the owners of
the hotel, aroused by the smell of

waa evacuated.
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

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. The blase started in a cellar
