War-Time Living Mousetraps Are Scarce; Rodents Gaining at Home
BETTY MACDONALD Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, July 15—If you can build a better ersats mousetrap, you've got WPB blessing and a wonderful wartime market. The mousetrap situation, linked with other sanitation problems, has become serious enough to warrant a WPB survey, results of which will soon be announced. In peacetime, used about 10 million mousetraps annually. Now production is down considerably, partly due to the fact, that manufacture has been limited through WPB allocation of metal. Use of copper has been forbidden, and manufacturers have voluntarily streamlined <A BETTER MOUSET their traps to use a minimum amount of metal

More Garbage Cans, Too
Aware that rat-control is especially important in wartime, WPB hopes to increase production of traps. Also necessary in good sanitation programs are covered, glavanized garbage cans (inaccessable to rats). WPR is requesting production of a limited amount of them. Meanwhile, public health officials announce expanded ratcontrol programs, especiaily in war industry areas, where increased population, manpower shortage in garbage collection and congested living are open invitations to plague and typhus, rat carried diseases. Because the mouse population is being augmented by numbers of overseas rats arriving daily as shipping increases, WPB has one suggestion in case of a mousetrap shortage: Get a cat!

Enough Bandages
So that there will be bandages a-plenty for civilian and military use, WPB has frozen all looms making bandage cloth.
Odds 'n' Ends In spite of manpower and material . shortages, American housewives are getting ample quantities of linoleum and printed floor coverings, according to an WPB survey. Prices on all foundation wear—brassieres, corsets, garters, eirdles—will be controlled by next month, whether garments contain rubber or not.

Woodtick's Bite Disease Increases During Summer
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS
The arrival of summer means increased danger of disease from wood ticks, particularly in the western statds. Each year this insect menaces the health of people in large areas of the United States, he wood tick is responsible for the transmission of a number of diseases, among them: wood tick paralysis, Rocky fever, tularemia, Colorado tick fever and relapsing fever. By far the most serious and most ——— widely dispersed is Rocky moun- | tain spotted fever. Relapsing | fever is much § ; 3 commoner in ° other countries than here, and tularemia is associated most directly with §§ rabbits; where- : as, wood tick fever and Colo- © rado tick fever j are much miider in nature x than the dreac- Dr. Masters ed Rocky mountain spotted kind. Like all ticks, the one responsible for Rocky mountain spotted | fever sucks blood, and lays eges | on the ground in late spring and early summer. It is a very hardy organism, and takes two whole years in which to mature. In its | six-legged larval stage, it climbs | up vegetation and attaches itself | to passing small animals, rodents especially. After feeding, it drops off and reappears the next year with eight legs. This creature also feeds on rodents, and after

Even in the most heavily infested areas, the incidence of infected ticks is very low. Of course, clothing that is tight at the ankles, wrists and waist, and wrecludes the entrance of the tick should be worn.

STUDY DETAILS | OF FOOD STAMP
La Follette 5 of Indiana Among Backers of
New Plan.
WASHINGTON, July 15 (U. P.).— Details of a food stamp plan which would pay low-income families the difference between their normal food budgets and present high prices were revealed today by Senator George D. Aiken (R. Vt.) and Reps. Jerry Voorhis (D. Cal) and Charles M. LaFoliette (R. Ind.). The three congressmen are au-
thors of identical bills to meet the administration’s challenge that no effective substitute for roll-back subsidies has been offered. The three legislators said that their food stamp plan would benefit old age pensioners, families of servfcemen, part-time workers, low-in-come white collar workers and “poor people” of city and farm. Eligibility would be determined by the inability of a family to meet the cost of a “basic food allotment™—a list of the various types of food repiesenting an adequate minimum diet senator Raymond BE.
