For Good Roads.
Harrisburg, Pa., May 3—Repair
work on State main highways has
been started in every county in the
State by the road superintendents of
the State Highway Department and
will be pushed in the vicinity of coun-
ty towns and on the roads passing
through agricultural sections, so that
by the first of June, one year from
the time of taking over the 8,000
miles of main highway routes the en-
tire system will be in the hands of
“I repairmen. This work was started
during the early part of April, as
rapidly as the men in charge could
organize their forces and within a few
months the methods which the State
will use in maintaining its compre-
hensive system of roads will be dem-
onstrated.
Under the act of 1911 providing for
a system of 10ads the repair work is
to be handled out of funds placed at
the disposal of the department by
the Legislature, the idea being that
the reconstruction of these roads
should be by means of the proceeds
of the proposed $50,000,900 bond issue
as rapidly as circumstances permit
after the constitutional amendment
for the loan is adopted and the neces-
sary en:iling legislation enacted.
Under p: sent conditions it appears
that both the State aid and general
road builiing must be cared for by
the Legisiature now in session, the
bond issue to provide for work from
1915 on. Pending legislation’ is also
calculated to provide for the construc-
tion of township roads and their main-
tenance, so they will help to develop
with the main highway system.
The $50,000,000 bond issue is now
regarded as the best method to obtain
Satisfactory results in construction.
Demands upon the State for charities
and for various public works are of
such a character as to require a large
part of the revenue. Furthermore, to
secure systematic development it is
recognized that a regular plan of
yearly appropriations must be made,
and it is the idea to enact such legis-
lation at the next session of the Leg-
islature as will distribute the proceeds
of the bond issue and lead to harmon-
ious extension of good roads.
THE CLOTHES MOTH.
A correspondent from Hunting-
don county wrote to Prof. Surface
asking for information concerning
destruction of clothes moths. The
reply gives information that may be
useful to others troubled with this de-
structive pest. It is as follows:
‘““You can destroy the clothes moths
by saturating with benzine or gaso-
lene the fabric which they infest.
If you wiil dissolve a very slight pro-
portion of corrosive sublimate in
alcohol, using not more than one
part by weight to one hundred parts
of water and pour or sprinkle this
over a cloth it will poison it and
render it immune to them.
‘‘Where clothes moths infest arti-
cles that can be spread and shaken,
it is a good plan to put them into the
sunshine in an open yard, and whip
them thoroughly with strong whips
and air them well. If one can place
small articles in the oven and watch
the temperature that it does not get
higher than something like one hun-
dred and fifty to one hundred and six-
ty degrees, he can kill that pest by
heat. Where the articles are small
enough to put them into a closed ves-
sel a very excellent method isto put
them into something that can be
closed tighily and pour over them or
set upon them a shallow pan con-
taining the liquid known as carbon
bisulfide and let it stand and fumigate
three or four hours or more. At
least one pound of this should be
used for each one huudred cubic feet
of space and more will do no harm.
Keep fire away from it, as it is ex-
plosive, the same as the fumes of
benzine or gasoiene.
‘‘A barrel will do very well for this
purpose. fastening over the top of it
two or more sheets of oil cloth,
bolding it in place by a hoop placed
outside. As a last resort for house-
hold pests, we can fall back upon
fumigation with hydrocyanic acid
gas, which is certain to be effective
if properly done, but which is both
by careless persons. Follow direc-
tions for this method of fumigation
