Heed Termite
^ For Protection
* -? _jClemson
College, March 19.?The
warning of "swarming" termites during
the first warm days of spring
sho i' i be heeded for protection of
buildings against serious injury, says
\V. ('. 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.?

Killers Of Robins
Given Warning
A warning that any person, whether
an adult or child, who is seen
shooting robins shall be arrested ami
"have to pay a fine" was issued
Tuesday by A. 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.

LOOKING BACKWARD
. . 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.
