This discovery was made at University of California. However, the platinized foxes do not produce furs so durable as the Norwegian variety. The only fox that is being raised commercially to any great extent In the United States is the silver fox. Perhaps they lend themselves to confine ment better than most wild ani mals. The grey fox is much slower than the red fox. The red fox has been known to cover a given dis tance at the rate of 30 miles per hour. •sisopiojaqnj oi ajqndaosns iCjauiaijxa are siadaq sisoh sjscmojamiT I 1 Spray Mosquito Swamps Mosquitoes are effectively con trolled by DDT. According to a de partment of agriculture report, “the most reliable method of apply ing larvicides over a wide range of conditions is by means of spray ers.” The wet, swampy mosquito breeding areas should be sprayed. Much relief can be obtained around the home by spraying screens, trees and shrubs where the mosquitoes light. Any good sprayer can be used depending upon the amount of spraying to be done. The same sprayer also may be used for other i purposes. Contractors College The firsi tile contractors course ever offered by a college or univer sity is being held at New York’s City college. Plants Discover Minerals A possibility that certain types of plant growth may come to be more widely used as clues to mineral de posits has been suggested by Uni versity of Wyoming workers. They point out that selenium indicator and accumulator plants are now commonly relied upon as guides to rocks and soils which carry that element. They suggest that vegeta tion also may be used as a guide to other minerals. Certain toxic vege tation is known to carry relatively high rare-metal values, molybde num being one example. Warm Water for Plants Tepid water instead of cold water should be used for watering house plants. Cold water may shock the plants, damage the roots and retard Growth SORORITY MAKES GIFT The Upsilon chapter of Phi Delta Kappa sorority recently presented a new Royal typewriter to the infantile paralysis unit of the Johon A. Andrew ; Memorial hospital at Tuskegee insti tute, Alabama, as a gift from the nation al sorority and the local chapter.

Horace Greeley, famed Journalist | and statesman, had an invaluable piece of advice for potential crooks, i thieves and mobsters —for every would-be criminal anywhere. He said, “The darkest hour in any man's life is when he sits down to plan to get money without earning ,t” . • • • « Sim pit living doesn't mean skimp ing and pinching; it means striking the ideal balanee between loo little and too much. A yacht won't bring any more real happiness than a sailboat. • • • A man I know, nearing fifty, has been out of work half the time during the past 20 years. Capable, intelligent, he has jumped from one job to another, performing each one well but always failing to build a solid background of special ised experience. Don’t be a Jack of many trades. Know your job inside out and the future will take care of itself. • • • “If you drink, don’t drive; if you drive, don’t drink"—a good tip anytime but particularly in winter.

Rev. Raines delivered another of his very inspiring sermons. Theme: “A Finished Task.” One finds true joy when he undertakes and finishes a difficult task.

Raines and Rev. Erwin H. Umvert, pastor of the Trinity Metho dist church, 2011 Binney Street, will exchange pulpits. February 15th, at 3:30 p.m. Mr. Rowland W.
