INDIANA PICKED TO OPEN DRIVE ON CHINCH BUG 7 States Given $1,000,000 for War on Destroyer of Crops. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, June 14.—Indiana is one of seven states where an Immediate drive, backed by a sl,000,000 fund, is to be made on the crop destroying chinch bug, it was announced today by Dr. Rexford Guy Tugwed, assistant secretary of agriculture. Other states where the battle will get under way at once are Illinois. lowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. A chinch bug control committee will be organized in each state, the organization extending down to the county, and the state work placed in the hands of an entomologist, according to present plans. Farmers will do the work re-1 quired to protect their own fields. Combat Method Explained The agriculture department explains the method of combating the pest as follows: “Chinch bug control depends largely on the repellant action of creosote and undistilled coal tar. Barriers of creosote or coal tar, placed between fields of small grain where this pest spends the early part of its life—and corn fields—to which it migrates as soon as the small grains are harvested or become too dry to afford succulent food are the most effective means known of halting the advance of the pest. “Only a few of the bugs will have reached the winged, or full-grown stage when they Will be forced to leave the ripe grain and crawl to the immature corn. Their migration, usually on sunny afternoons, from grain to corn fields affords an excellent opportunity to trap them by means of barriers. “A barrier path easily is made by plowing a furrow with the ridge of earth on the side toward the cornfield. A two-inch line of creosote or coal tar is run along tilt brow of this ridge, and post holes, flared at the top, are dug at intervals along the bottom of the furrow.
Fall Into Deep Holes “There seems to be no physical reason, entomologists say, why chinch bugs can not cross the creosote or coal tar, but practically all of them turn back from the brownish, strong-smelling streak in the ground and move along the furrow, from which they eventually drop down into the holes. “As they can not crawl up the steep sides of the pits, they collect in them and may be killed with kerosene or oy crushing. Great hordes of bugs can be destroyed by the use of such barriers. From seven to eight bushels, with more than eight million bugs to the bushel, have been caught along a half mile barrier in a week. “The funds provided by congress for the campaign this year will make possible the building of more than thirty thousand miles of barrier.” Mrs. Jenckes 'Savior’ By Times Special WASHINGTON, June 14. —Mrs. Virginia Jenckes, Terre Haute congresswoman, isn't a fireman, but she saved the postoffice at Rileysburg in Vermilion county.

the place and it was doomed to extinction. But Mrs. Jenckes got on the job. Today she received a letter from W. W. Howes, first assistant postmaster-general, which read: “In view of all the facts in the case, it has been decided to continue the Rileysburg office in operation. The order of discontinuance which was to become effective June 15 has been rescinded.” BRUNER WINS NEW POST Former Times Man Promoted On Washington Paper. Felix F. Bruner, whose career as a newspaperman started twenty years ago wnen he became a reporter on the Booster, weekly school paper at Manual Training high school, today took over the position of city editor of the Washington Post. Mr. Bruner was born in Indianapolis and after graduating t from Manual in 1916 went to work for papers here, eventually rising to be editor of The Times in 1924. In 1926 he became managing editor of the Youngstown (O.) Telegram, and editor if 1927. A year ago, Mr. Bruner went to Washington as special writer for the Post.

Lower—Here is another view of the ditch which runs through the town. Barely visible in the weed growth, the ditch has just enough water in it to be the source for the typhoid germs, physicians say.

titioners knew more about the disease, Dr. William Carpenter MacCarty told the American Medical Association today. Chief blame for ravages of the malady which takes 100,COO to 150,000 lives annually in the United States, was laid definitely upon th© shoulders of the medical profession itself in Dr. Mac Carty’s stinging address. Despite the failure of millions of dollars spent in research to determine a specific cancer cure, enough is known already to reduce the toll enormously if it were not for widespread ignorance of general practitioners and their inability to recognize it in its early stages, the specialist charged. “Cancer is a simple problem, although we may never know its specific cause, nor ever discover a spe-
cific cure. It is a problem of health and of general external and internal cleanliness and of heredity. “It is time someone endowed a system of teaching for general practitioners, now that philanthropists have endowed schools, hospitals and research bureas,” he asserted. While Dr. MacCartty upbraided his colleagues, Dr. Oscar T. Schultz, director of laboratories at St. Francis hospital, Evanston, 111., declared the office of county coroner is useless and should be abolished. He pointed to the medical examiner system used by Massachusetts, New York City and Essex county, New Jersey, as examples of what may be done to “better the archaic system we inherited from England.’’
