V S LARVA \ a F6B /Ox X J X) \ I opt PUPA /f / \ . bmif il/ *MOTH CLOTHES MOTHS are a problem in many households but Clear Lehker, Purdue University extension entomologist, says the pests can be controlled. Closets should be cleaned and sprayed with a five-percent DDT spray. PDB flakes scattered among stored woolens will also prevent damage. Lehker says the moth is most destructive when in the larva stage. When full grown the larva or worm changes into a pupa and later becomes a small buff colored moth which flies around the house. It always shuns light and goes to the darkest part of the room. In this adult stage, the moth does no damage except to lay eggs. ■ Additional details on clothes moth can be obtained at the -county extension office in the form of Purdue mimeo E-18, "How to Control Clothes Moths and Carpet Beetles.” I

The blast was felt at Rantoul, - 111., 67 miles away and several air i lines pilots who saw the ball of < flame feared that an atomic bomb I had been dropped. • However, spokesmen for the Peol pies Gas Light & Coke Co., which I maintains a huge underground stor- '> age -dome at Herscher, reported » damage was confined to the, feeder - line and that no one had been in- • jured. The spokesman added that a re- • pair crew was working on the pipeline when escaping gas caught fire • and mushroomed into the gigantic • ball of flame. A company crew brought the fire under control by shutting off the valves 10 miles on either side of the explosion. ‘ ; 4 l Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
