Control measures for the erad

widow" spider have begun In the
Hot Springs and Hillside addi
tions, where the Infestation seems
to he the heaviest.
One property owner has ob
tained good results by using an
ordinary blow torch over his rock
walls, and has brought out and
killed many adult spiders and de
stroyed numerous egg cases.
Householders in the infested
districts have been warned to in
spect basements carefully, as sev
eral have been found to contain
the deadly black spiders. The
Insects spin unusually strong
webs, Irregular In shape, and as
the young hatch they rest upon
the webs for several days.
Parents are warned to keep
small children from playing
among rocks or among debris, as
the bite ot one ot the venomous
spiders might easily prove fatal
for a child.
The infestation has been found
to extend over the hills surround

none ot the Insects have been
found In the heart ot the city or
in the Link river area, according
