White Moth Called 'Millers'
After Flour Covered Miller
Back in the days before elec
tric wire carried current to
mill, factory, or home tne
cheapest and most dependable
power was supplied by water.
The water that turned the
wheels of the old miU revolved
two large, flat stones together,
between them wheat, corn, or
some other grain was ground
to a fine powder to become
flour. The product was water
ground meal, or flour. Even to
day when the old mill wheel is
silent, water ground meal is con
sidered best by many folks;
some say, "because tne mm
wheel turned slowly, the resul

White Dust
Of course, back then there
was no ventilation system in the
old mill, only the winds that
whisDered through the structure,
took care of the dust or the
flour that escaped the grinding
stones. The white dust settled
on everything. The miller's
clothes became almost white
with accumulated flour. When
- he walked along the street on
his way home, after the days
work at the mill, he scattered
flour at every step. Having one's
clothes white with flour was
probably the distinguish
Fna trademark of the miller;
something probably to be more
than a little proud of, for the
milling of grain was as impor
tant as any work in any com
munity. About that time, or shortly
thereafter, some child, or per
haps an adult, watched a small,
winged insect, probably a
clothes-moth, fly across a room.
He may have caught the moth,
and examined it. Even with the
most careful handling, a white
powder came from the wings
and body of the insect; the pow
der looked like flour, actually
it was scales from the wings;
scales so small they look more
like powder, but that overlap
one another, like shingles on a
roof, or the scales of a llsn.
Resembled Flour
Had he looked at the scales
with a powerful reading glass he
would have found they were of
various sizes, and shapes, those
along the edge of the wings
being long, and fringed. But to
the first observer, they resem
bled flour, so naturally the in
sects were called "millers," In
deference to the man that
watched the mill wheels turn.
But the name "miller" stuck,
and even today most small
moths are called millers, the
clothes moth being one of the
many. Should you, while resting
in your easy chair, see a small
moth flying across the room,
you might notice it is flying
away from the light, It flies to
ward a darkened corner of the
room or toward a closet, as if
it knew that woolen garments
would be stored there, and or
ganic matter is what the larva
of the clothes moth eats.
Should you catch her, the tiny
scales of the wings and body
would readily come off in your
fingers, like a white dust, or
powder. Scales from the wings
of a butterfly would of course
also come loose, but those might
be any of various colors, not
especially white like that of the
millers the small moths that
wear the suits, "covered with
flour."

Safaway never tells neck culi as chuck

"chuck roasts" that are full, of hidden
