('. Xetttes, extension entomologist, who advise? immediate action to destroy the colopy of termites and correct the defects in construction that may have furnished* favorable environment for the destructive pest. "Often the first indication of infested woodwork of buildings is the annual emergence of large numbers of flying termites, often called white ants", Mr. Nettles explains. "Furthermore, the point of emergence generally indicates the approximate location of infested timbers. 'Swarming' of the termites may not be observed, but dead termites^svith wings discarded serve to warn that the premises are ihfested. Termites thrive best in dark, warm, and moist situations where untreated woodwork is in contact "v^th or close to the ground. "Another type of warning is the presence of small shelter tubes on j the surfpee of foundation timbers or other woodwork, or over the surface of -tone, brick, or any other impenetrable foundation * material. These shelter tubes are made of earth, mixed with finely powdered wood. They should be destroyed and "the ground where they originated drenched with poisonous materials. "A list of the poisonous materials for prevention and control of termites ar.d full information will be found in Farmers' Bulletin 1472, Termites or White Ants, which may be secured from your congressman in Washington, 1). C., or from the United Sthtes Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C." Mr. Nettles points out that wood rots occasionally damage foundations of buildings and that methods used to suppress termite damage also control wood rots. SHALL THEY HE STERILIZED? Senator Nash of Sumter has introduced a bill to give authority to supposedly proper public officials, to , sterilize persons insane or mentally defective. The Senate passed a simil lar bilk last year under Mr. Nash's leadership, but the House killed it. The proposal of course looks a little ridiculous, if not pitiful; but it is worth thinking of. Unhappily the sterilizing that is being done so abundantly in this country is the voluntary refusal of a large portion of the best endowed of the population to have children. Meanwhile the lowest grade of humanity goes on breeding with no limits except those imposed by disease. Their offspring dies with j abnormal rapidity; but even , so they j are increasing to a degree much exj ceeding those of better stock. Ail that is a matter almost imposs| ible of governmental regulation at present. But it is a question on which | the very existence of permanent progress in civilization depends. Senator Nash is at least doing the service of inviting people to think on a question of the profoundest public importance. May his tribe increase.? Newberry Observer.

A.. Richardson, Chief Game Warden, who added that there would be "no leniency shown them" in any H&e. Chief Richardson said it had been the policy of the game department to "endeavor to control young boy's shooting robins by reporting the boyis to their parents and aajdng the parents to co-operate with us." He said, however, it appeared that a "great many parents are not in sympathy with the leniency shown by this department, and now I wish to advise the public that I have instructed the game wardens hereafter, regardless of age or sex, to arrest and prosecute any person shooting robins." ; He explained that grown persons appeared to have realized that there would be no leniency shown thorn and that the department had had little trouble except .with young boys. "If parents can't control their children they may as well make up their minds that they are going to have to pay a fine and that there Is no use to appeal to me concerning the matter," he declared. The shooting of a robin is a violation of both state and federal laws under the provisions of sections 17, G7, and 1780 of the code of laws of 1932, the official said.

I tried to take a mental census of my old school-mates the other day, but some of them have disappeared entirely. Bill Motes, the dullest child in the whole school, is professor of history in a big college in Illinois. ? v..Arch Kitendalo, the kid who could wiggle his ears and dig holes in hard ground with his big toes, is conductor on a railroad in California. Ilerry Smith, the only person in our class that could make his nose bleed by sneezing on purpose, is a carpenter, and has never been over 50 miles from his home. ..Slim Jones, the boy who could pat his tummy and rub his head, and vice-vorsa, at the same time while jumping a rope, got a job in the navy and is now in the Philippines. He quit his wife after she dug him over tjie head with a skillet while they were killing hogs one December morning. . .Porkcy Lucas, the laziest mortal that ever toted slop to the pigs, is president of a big steel plant in Pennsylvania and is pulling down about 10 thousand bucks per year. Ho just sat around all during re.chewing sweet gum or pine rosin, and actually was too luzy to shoo a yellow-jacket off of his own nose. It was too much like work for him to play stink-base, 2-holey cat or fox-in-the-war. . .Sooky Grimes married a wealthy Yankee; they own 4 pretty little poodles, but no other children. They have been married only 18 years though. The richest girl in school, the one that was nbove most everybody else and brought egg custard, pound cake and such like to school nearly every day, is working in a cotton mill with her husband, and Hubert Illison, the son of one of her daddy's tpnants, is superintendent of that mill. And I ain't doing much good either, just running a store and living with my wife and family. STATIC .. I am going to save up all of my extra pennies from now on and when some wise person inrvents a contraption that will eliminate static from the radio, I am going to send him a money order for the accumulated I cash. .. Nothing makes me madder than to be on the verge of hearing the high points in a program, or a knockout blow in the ring, or a speech by my favorite entertainer, or a home-run hit, when old man static steps in and growls and groans'and (***T? ?xz ?) makes it impossible to catch the poirfts that always mean everything. ..If a radio was a human being every time'static began to pour from his mouthj>it would get a biff in the eye, oc'a jack in the stummick. But 'a fellow is so helpless when he can't hear nothing but static; he just has to sit there and cuss and frown. He can't gain anything by pitching the j darned thing out of the window: the installments would keep on installing 0 just the same. ..When static drowns out a good radio program, it reminder of shells in my oysters, or sand in my dumplings, or the oldman walking in just as his daughter was preparing to receive a kiss, or a nail in a tire J or somebody standing up in front of me when the second strike and third ball had been pitched, or a crowd, scrouging in front of me at the cru-, cir.l moment in a movie. I ..I hate static with all the venom in my anatomy. 1 wish somebody would do something about it. It; looks like the N. It. A. or the It. F. C. [ or the C. W. A. or the I'. W. A. oF the U. S. Senate would devise some j plan or method to get rid of this j pestilential nuisance for all time to come. Why(/it'8 worse than war be-, twixt Japan and,.Russia. (By the way, if ^'Ov.must have a war. . . .here's hoping it will be betwixt them, with no interventions^allowed.) ..I tuned in tonight for my usual 8 and 9 o'clock specials. All 1 got was 2 subway trains meeting; a couple of trains running together; a house falling down; a horse-shoo rasp rasping on a metal roof, and an occasional note in "E" mirror, or a front part or a hind part of what sounded like a fine joke. The value and appreciation of the radio would be enhanced 1 million percent if static could be tuned out like a bad program can be tuned in. Mis?
