Pearson executive secretary of the infaMis Education Assn., said i# an interview, "is that sufficient state aid be made available and goaran tee that foundation programs be maintained ia all school districts of the state." His organisation fonnd that at least 6135 per pupil would be necessary to provide a good basie program. Such a program would include trained teachers, modern housing, good libraries and Equipment, varied curricula of cultural and vocational subjects* and a school term of at least nine months. "The association's program would give relatively more state aid to poorer areas and extend equalisation to areas which heretofore have not had it," Pearson said. Need rubber' stamps?

Carpet Beetles and Moths Routed by DDT Oil Spray Toxic qualities of DDT may make its use in many places questionable, but there arc still many places where. the Insecticide can be used to advantage. * 1 Jade Lomax, extension en-' tomologist. University of. Nebras- i ka, suggests that cleaning of j clothes closets can be followed up { with a DDT spray on the walls, woodwork, baseboards, and shel-! ves. Such a spray gives protection | against clothes moths and carpet beetles. J An oil spray is best because it; does not leave the white deposit j the water spray does. It should be: a residua] spray rather than aero-' sol bombs or space sprays if it is' to be effective "over many months. ! Aerosol spray kills flying insects ; or those which happen to be expos- . ed at the time, but has no lasting j effect. | DDT can be sprayed lightly on; wool clothing without injuring the 1 fabric. Too much solution may j show up as whitish traces on dark ' clothing, but this can be removed by brushing or dry cleaning. I DDT protects clothing hanging in closets, but moth flakes or crystals j are advised for clothing stored in i bags, trunks or other containers ! . where fumigating effects are desir- j <sd. Added protection is given stored clothing by spraying them and ; their container with DDT. | Display at manly strenglb has always impressed the womenfolk.

Ia sea lions and sea elephants the bulls, who are enormously bigger and stronger than the cows, come ashore during the breeding season and stake out mating territories. As the females land, the males fight for them and establish harems. In some species they may seize the cows by the neck and pitch them over their shoulders into the harem.

Good care in buying and laundering will extend the life of handkerchiefs considerably, says Miss Helen Rocke, extension clothing specialist. Buy the handkerchief with the even and compact weave and weight for longer life, she suggests. Etltbraidered initials, open work and Ljnd-hemstitching make •a prettier and more costly handkerchief, but these things also make a more fragile item. The first break often comes at the hemstitching where fabric is thinner, or around the initials where the i embroidery is heavier than sur- j rounding lineh. Hand-rolled edges j are less sturdy than stitched hems. When handkerchiefs are launder- i ed in the machine with other cloth- j ling it is a good idea to tie them in ^s loose cheesecloth bag. This saves iwear and tear in washing and getting caught in wringer rollers. In pinning handkerchiefs up to dry, pin them on top of a towel, leaving them only until dry. Flapping in the wind makes for much wear and tear on handkerchiefs. Deer One hundred years ago Wisconsin had an all-year deer season. In 1851 the legislature restricted this privilege by creating a limited season beginning July 1 and ending February 1. From then cn deer hunting season* were established annually, with the exception of six years of no deer hunting. Almost all of the thousands of deer taken during these many hunting seasons were by rifle and shotgun hunters. The bow and arrow had no place in the equipment tof the deer hunter until recent years. Twenty years ago there was no bow hunting in Wisconsin* • Who Ran Japan? Until the war ended a half dozen Japanese families, together with tne leading -banking Interests of thf country, controlled 57 per cent of Japan's coal production, 88 per cent of steam engine production, 5$ per cent of pulp production, 68 per cent of aluminum output and 51 per paft of airplane manufactures. Products of the Whale New factory whaling ships which roam Antarctic waters now have refrigerator compartments to freeze the catch and preserve the flavor ot whale meat. The secret of cooking the meat, whether it's "whalerburgers," stew or steak, is to add onions and peppers. Food isn't the only result in a good catch of whale. Whale oil is used in soaps and in making glycerine, for munitions, and in processing leather. The oil is used also in preparing face creams and ointments. The rarest and most valuable of whale products is ambergris, used in fine perfumes. Sand and Gravel Excavating and Qrane Service felidc Dirt -- Sand and Gravel ^ Road Grading Fairs in Early Times Merchant guilds of the Middle ] Ages found that traders preferred j to barter in one city rather than in half a dozen. Thus we came to have one community famous for its lace, another for leather, a third for pottery, and so cn. The great international fair at Leipzig founded In 1170 furnishes an example. This institution had a marked effect Upon the commercial development of Europe. Highway robbery and pillage were so common in medieval times that rulers granted safe conduct and protection to merchants on their way to and from the fair, even though the merchants came from an enemy nation. The Leipsig fair was revived fallowing World War I, and in 1922 reported 12,586 exhibitors and 155,000 buyers, flOO being from foreign lands.
