Strains of house- ^lies and mosquitoes which are redistant to the insecticide have been reported' from many parts of the v world. After control operations cease, swamps or marshes sprayed appear devoid of mosquitoes. Freed of competition from less fortunate members ef <heir tribe, however, the few Immune survivors present breed and multiply until, in many places, they predominate. Ten times the amount of DDT needed to curl the toes of an ordinary 0Aedes fails even to stagger these hardy super-skeeters.

Beecher, Door professor of research In anaesthesia at Harvard Medical school, discovered that the transition from wakefulness to sleep involves the shifting of brain activity from the back to the frontal region of the brain. Dr. Beecher is continuing his work on the many Other physiological mysteries concerning sleep. However, what really happens wring sleep is not of nearly so great concern to most of us as being able to sleep restfully so that fatigue and tension can be eliminated from our lot of life's little problems. Lack of proper sleep is probably responsible for more personality changes, mor* dissension, more failures than any other one factor. To "set the stage" for relaxing slumber pays great dividends in health, success and enjoyment of life. It must start with well constructed, comfortable bedding whieh yields proper support for correcting fatigue posture.

Traffi* Uffch in l«l« AMiiM at Unnmmfy Traffic signs and signal* have become such a necessity in modern life that the National Safety Council has -conducted a "Signs of Life" campaign to promote better public understanding of them. But only 36 years ago an electric traffic signal was a curiosity, not a necessity. The first electric traffic lights were placed in operation in August, 1914, in Cleveland, O. The red and green lights were operated by a policeman in a booth on the corner. After a short time, however, the signals were removed because they were unnecessary. The next step ir traffic signals consisted of towers in the Aiiddle of Fifth aveuue. -New York City, and in Detroit. The lights were not used to guide vehicles directly, but to relay instructions to other towers. The colored lights had different meanings, too. In New York, red stopped all traffic, green meant stop for north-lfound traffic, and amber meant go for northsouth traffic. The first electrically interlocked signal system was installed in Houston, Tex., in 1922. Nine intersections were controlled ffom a central point. The red and green lights finally used in controlling street traffic were adopted from the signals already/ in use by the railroads.

They were presented by Alvtn W. Brittingham, of Hampton, Va., who, together with his brother, conducted the excavation of Kicotan on the shore of Hampton Roads. Here, according to an old local tradition, a trading post had been established by the Jamestown colon* ists. The land has been under cultivation for many years, and many artifacts have been found during plowing. The articles range from InCa^ tomahawks and pipes to pottery utensils, a sword hilt, and spurs. The Quantities and type -of artifacts, found indicate that this was the traditional site of a settlement established for trading with,the Indians. There is no historical record of the Kicotan trading post, although the materials recovered establish that it vas contemporary with Jamestown and that colonists and Indians probably lived there together. \The site was occupied by the KecOughtan Indians, who were dia. tinguished for their friendship with the colonists. Capt. John Smith paid them several visits. They were a people with whom it was easy to open tade relations. Hie post must have been established somttUbt.bofore 1610. At that time lfelfcdiane were driven from the neighborhood by the English governor,- Sir Thomas Gates, and their lafod* ©ccupied by the colonists. • '! The site covers approximately 100 acres. Over the past cerittifglr has yielded literally bushels of artifacts, of both English ^nd Indian origin.

S. Fana Msrtgaf Dell A handful of states, mostly in the grain belt, are primarily responsible for the fact that total U.S. farm mortgage debt currently is over a billion dollars lower than it was a decade ago, according to figures compiled by the U.S. department at agriculture. As a matter of fact, according to these figures, 25 of the 48 states had a greater farm mortgage debt outstanding at the beginning of this year than a decade before. Some of the increases were substantial, wittt Florida's mortgage debt up M per cent in the period and New Mexico's up more than 100 per cent. In the aggregate, the farm mortgage debt outstanding in these 3S states on January 1 this year added up to $2.1 billions, or 39 per cent of the total U.S. farm mortgage debt at that time, as against $1.1 billions, or only 28 per Cent of the national total, at the start of 1940. The gain for these states combined for the 10-year period was thus close to $300 millions, or 15 per cent.
