Bug-Killer

(First of a Series)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—DDT, the amazing bug-

" killer of world war II, just now is facing its first

tests by civilians in the perpetual peacetime battle

against insects. Is DDT the cure for all insect ills? Or is it a scientific fad that will soon fade from the limelight?

* Scientists working with DDT say that. 1946 will show

that the answer lies somewhere in between. Many unfavorable stories circulated last fall after the wild rush to get DDT when it was released to

_ civilians for the first time.

Some individuals were cheated with compounds put up by fly-by-night dealers. Others cried “fraud” when DDT failed fo kill some common pests. Others hooted at its heralded lasting qualities. Some people were afraid to try DDT at all because of tales of

+ its deadliness.

Nevertheless, the entomologists are standing pat in their conviction that DDT, correctly used, is the foremost insecticide today for killing thousands of bugs that destroy property and carry disease.

Tell of Experiments ¥

BUT THEY want the public to get the facts’

straight. And so, for the first ments cgrried on in secre are being released. Es United Press has made a survey of findings of

HES of of experi Jase several

the agriculture department, the army, the food and.

drug administration, the U.. 8. public health service and the interior department. DDT first broke into the headlines in early 1944 when the army halted a plague of typhus that threatened to sweep civilians and troops in Naples, Italy. A shaker-can of DDT became standard “G. 1.” equipment,

Aviation.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—What goes up ‘must come down—and it used to be that any airplane landing was a good one if the pilot could walk away from the wreckage.

That was before the Air Age really was in. It's here now and, according to the Air Transport Association of America, comprising the 23 airlines of the ‘flying now -is safer than riding in automobiles. For instance, there were only 2.2 deaths per one hundred million air passenger miles in 1944 The figure for autos and faxis was 2.9. And even on long over-water flights there were only two fatal accidents in 1944. Aviation is bringing in many new words. One is “CAVU.” It's a nice word for the prospective air passenger because it means “ceiling absolute, visibility unlimited”; in other words, ideal weather for flying. Then there's “raobs” and “rasons.” Raobs are observations of temperature, ‘pressure and humidity made by instruments in free balloons and transmitted by radio to ground weather stations to help keep flying safe. Rasons are the very latest weather bureau devices, adding wind observations received by means of radar. The weather man thus is enabled to know just what's going on overhead.

Answers You Will Need IF YOU'RE going to fly you'll want to know some of the following answers: You-can take your baby but if she’s carried in a basinette, an extra seat must be engaged. The stewardess will heat milk and fix a formula. You can take your dog along, properly crated and in the baggage compartment. The blind can take seeing-eye dogs right with them in the cabin. It not only is proper to chew gum on an airplane but it helps to relieve pressure on the ears when taking off and landing. Most airliners—of the prewar type—travel at about 180 miles per hour. Some now in use cruise at 300 miles per hour and over. If turbine and jet propulsion power become practical for airline use, speeds of 700 miles per hour will not be impossible, and will revolutionize airline timetables.

My Day

LONDON, Sunday. —Boviet Representative Andrel A. Gromyko in his address on Friday stressed “true co-operation,” which, he said, would alone make it possible to do the work necessary to implement the United Nations charter. Living up to the charter is of course an absolute necessity, since that is the law unde. which the UNO was established and to which each’ nation set its signature, Mr, Gromyko spoke with great seriousness. That is one thing which impresses me about the Russians. I notice that they, very rarely smile or laugh. They are absolutely faithful to their duties. But perhaps’ life has been so full of responsibility and hardship it is hard for them to shed their serious side and take time off for amusement, Among the highlights of “the ‘week, of course, was the speech to the assembly made by British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, He named the mandated teroTitories in. Africa which Britain, was ready to turn * over to UNO trusteeship. - But he uttered a warning which I think#annot be -uttered too oftéen—that human: beings . cannot be ‘changed overnight, However, this assembly, he said, 83 Place wilsre we “can grow jose 1 8 Softies

The Riley room of the library is wondering ir school teachers are resorting to soap opera-like suspense measures to get the children to read books. One girl asked Miss Zella Spence, head of the room, for “The Twins.” She explained that her teacher had been reading the book to them but quit in the middle, and she wanted to find out how it came out. “She got ’em up in the mouritains,” the girl said of the teacher, “but she didn't bring ‘em back down.”

MRS. RUTH MYERS, 2103 8. East st. an usherette at the Lyric theater, found a wallet back of a seat in the theater, In a few minutes she saw a man go directly .to that seat.

Quick Birthday Party

THERE WAS. AN impromptu birthday party in a

.children’s ward at Methodist hospital Friday. Phil

Kiser, 12-year-old Times’ carrier, spent his 12th birthday anniversary in the hospital. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Kiser, 21 N, Drexel st. fixed up a cake and had a party in the ward with the other®patients as guests. . . . That “No Minors” sign on the door of Rog Graham's restaurant on W. Market st. is sort of unnecessary. The heavy grill on the door makes it so hard to open ‘that it takes a full-grown man with ‘plenty of muscles to budge it. . . . On first thought it looks as if members of a certain class taking Red Cross first aid are storing up information It's a class of 75 embalmer students. However, Kenneth “East, instructor, explains that the embalmers are from small towns and frequently serve on emergency ambulance calls.

In the Pacific, whole islands were sprayed with DDT as protection against carriers of tropical diseases. Repeatedly invasion troops were freed of mosquitoes for days because on D-Day a fleet of bombers sprayed a mist of DDT over the beachhead. No insecticide can hope to achieve popular use if it is as deadly to humans as bugs. , And DDT is poisonous. But not more so than many common bug-killers such as Paris green and sodium fluoride. It may be less so. ;

No Humans Poisoned DR. PAUL A. NEAL of the U. S. public health service summed up the record for DDT by saying that not a single authenticated fatal case of DDT poisoning in humans has been reported. DDT is a white powder with a faint fruit-like odor. It looks not unlike flour, baking powder or soda. For that reason, users are urged to store it somewhere besides the kitchen and to label it plainly. A report from the South Pacific reached Washington that a Japanese cook used DDT instead of baking powder to make pastry. Six men died. This story has not been verified, however, Nea] said that many cases of poisoning, reportedly caused by DDT, actually resulted from fumes of the kerosene or xylol used to make a DDT solution. DDT is readily absorbed into the body through in an oily solution or if oil is present on clothes. Handlers should wash the solution off immediately after coming in contact with it. DDT is ‘vastly more dangerous to fish, snakes, some warm-blooded animals and wildlife than to man. The fish and wildlife service of the interior department soon will, publish findings on experiments conducted in this field in co-operation with the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine of the department of agriculture.

caused discontinuance of this practice but it's coming back. ~ Most present-day: airliners ‘carry 21 passengers; some are carrying 50 to 56. Designs for some planes planned for overseas flights reach the 200 mark. In most cases airplane fares are cheaper than first-class rail fares with a lower berth. The airliners also serve fine free meals aloft. A smaller world 15 seen in the fact that no big city on earth will be more than 60 hours’ flyihg time from any other city.

Pressurized Cabins AIRLINES carried-approximately 6,621,800 phassengers in 1945. T. P. Wright, civil aeronautics administration, predicts 20 00000. Sunes during the next five to 10 years. “Seat of the pants” Hein was so-named in the old days” when, with no instruments, the pilot had to figure position of the plane in air by the position of his body as the plane tipped; rose or fell. New features promised for upcoming big planes are pressurized cabins, indirect fluorescent lighting, individual seat lighting, large windows, separate rest rooms for men and women, finger-tip adjustable chairs, motion pictures, radio and radio phone service. Liquor is not served on airliners because alcohol and thin air do not mix. One feels his drinks “puhlenty” when flying high. You may smoke cigarets but not pipe or cigar. No smoking is permitted on takeoffs and landings. The term “clock stopping schedules” applies to future super-speeds which may land a plane that leaves Boston at noon at Los Angeles a little before noon the same day, because of time zones. What keeps an airplane up is described by ATA as follows: “The basic secret is the thickened shape of the wings, more sharply curved on the upper than the lower surface. The air rushing past has to travel farther over the upper surfaces, creating less pressure there than below, so that’the greater pressure below exerts a strong uplifting force. The’ push of onrushing air against ‘he tilted lower surface also contributes to the lifting force as in a kite. “On the beam” means an airliner is flying‘ exactly along one of the airways which are marked as clearly by radio as a highway on the ground. And now you're ‘on the beam.” .

On Thursday I attended a reception held in Albert Hall as welcome to the UNO delegates. The little incident I enjoyed more than anything else was the whispered remark from Lord Robert Cecil, who sat beside me. Lookilng up at Field Marshal Sir Harold

Alexander in the chair and listening to the choir |

singing some truly martial songs, he said: “We go about peace in a very*’belligerent way, don't we!” I particularly liked one thing that Forelgn Minister Trygve Lie of Norway said in a speech earlier in.the week. He emphasized the fact that the UNO charter is not a static dociment but may be amended (Just as the Constitution of the United States has been amended). It is this possibility of growth which I look upon as the most hopeful part of the work now being undertaken here. There are bound to be many problems and many changes in the years to come, but if we are flexible, T'm sure we can meet them.

(through Groundhog day). I guess I've seen most of

years, I've not been unmindful of their virtues; of their

defects, too. Most of all, I've always lamented the lack of a dictionary not only of art terms, but also of words the definitions of which, if followed, might possibly improve the behavior of art patrons. Here, finally, is the dictionary:

ART Anything turned out in Brown county; and, for want of a better word, everything produced outside of Brown county is generally classified under “Modern Art.”

BEAUTY Coloquially, a synonym for “pret- |. tiness”; thence, by extension, any combination of qualities which tickles the taste of those who boast that they know nothing whatever about art, but know what they like,

by Jiminy. CRITIC A professional or amateur weaver of ‘cryptic and, like as not, esoteric phrases, the meaning of which this dictionary is doing its durndest to discover. A professional critic is one who gets real money for what he writes (honest). More often than not, however art criticism (and plenty of it) may be had for the mere asking around here.

DERIVATIVE

A complimentary adjective applicable to pictures, or parts whereof, when it becomes necessary to prove that modern art. is the result of a noble heritage. When it becomes necessary to let one’s hair down, the epithet “imitative” is the word to use.

EXPLANATION

artists took to recording thelr dreams. Thus far, the critics haven't reached first base, an impasse responsible: for the belief that art criticism is the prerogative of psychiatrists (see FANTASY).

FANTASY A fashionable and ultra-modern word used to label any graphic result the source of which can be traced to a dream or a nightmare depending on what, if anything; the artist ate before going to bed. An empty stomach, for instance, has been known to produce such carey

free affairs as a naked girl adoring herself while birds out of this world are twittering in the trees. On the other hand, a late collation composed, of pickles and buttermilk can bring forth a herd of female pink elephants, the title of which may well turn out to be “Motherhood.” Fantasy should not be confused with “whimsey” which is something altogether different (see WHIMSEY; also OH!),

GREAT A little word replete with modern nuances. Used with an exclamation point, it may be a connotation for good will on the part of the public, cupidity on the part of the art dealer and criminal rashness on the part of the critic.

HUMOR A pitiful word branded with the bar sinister. The nearest anyone every came to legitisizing it was when he, once, called a picture “amusing” which is a hell of a long way from saying it's funny.

IMAGINATION

The faculty of seeing in common things a more than common significance, the most common example of which is an outhouse treated with the importance heretofore reserved for noble architecture. ‘Because imagination is a mental power and wholly independent of the external world, it should not be confused with ‘inven~ tion” which, as a rule, comes straight out of a bottle.

JARGON

The equipment with which an art critic works, no matter whether he's a professional or an amateur.

KLEPTOMANIA See DERIVATIVE.

LANDSCAPE Colloquially, a slice of Hoosier (or reasonable facsimile thereof) preferably cut to dimensions to fit the' space over the mantel-piece and skillfully treated to suit the predilections of the painter's clientele.

PORTRAIT

Any picture that starts out to be a faithful likeness of a person, but which nearly always ends as a confection compounded of truth and flattery, usually in the ratio of 1 to 16, provided the size of the sitter’s pocktebook warrants it.

REALIST A painter with the fixed idea

of silos, weather-worn barns, circuses inside and out, locomotives ready for the junk pile, epicene nudes, spoiled vegetables and speckled apples arranged on white tablecloths, the creases of which would drive our already distracted laundryman mad.

asked the question (see LANDSCAPE; also PORTRAIT). UNIQUE

Unlike anything else. For example, it would be unique were the Hoosier Salon to give a prize for the best picture painted by a Jefthanded artist standing on his head.

VIRILITY

A polite euphemism for obscenity; especially useful in any ap-

|praisal of modern naked sculpture |

WHIMSEY

Any unreasonable notion, caprice or whim, provided the female figure is left out. When the female figure, either human or animal, gets into a capricious picture, it's bound to be a fantasy, which is to say that it has its origin in a dream (see FANTASY).

A sign over a door and, oftentimes, the only emblem of hope for a patron of the arts. Have no fear, however. For the next two weeks, you don't have to make a quick get-away.

Avoid Questions Embarrassing To Veterans

By RUTH MILLETT “AND WHAT are you going to do now that you are out of the army?” family and friefieds start asking the veteran even before his terminal leave expires. It is about the number twa question on most civilian lists, following right behind, “Well, how does it feel to be home?” The inquiry is prompted by gendine interest in most cases. But still it is a poor question. Rey, if there is one thing most veterans need it is a little time in which to decide just what their place in civilian life is to be. . » . AND THEY ought not to be made to feel apologetic for taking that time. Yet most of them do begin to feel on the defensive after they have said for the fiftieth time: “Well, I haven't made up my mind yet.” They begin to fear that their families and friends will put them down as being one of those vets ° erans who is having a difficult time making an adjustment, or maybe even thdt they have lost all interest in work or the ning to make decisions. - » » : SO WHY ask the question? Why not just wait to be told . what the veteran's plans are after he has had time to decide and ° when he Is good and ready to tell his plans. After all, a man’s half-formed plans for the future are a pretty personal matter.
