Three Dos.n Papers Bo far as la known the ov rnment hasn't reftnicd a simile llcenso for the starling of a newspaper. The result is that the capital now mis uireo oozen nowspaers, which is twice as many as it had before tlio war. Naturally Paris can't support so many papers, and they are one-pax affairs. Also a noodly number are political party or gans and don't pay their way. however, the government Is ttvlns: everyone equal oppor initios for publication. The government Itself, by the way, la said to have no news paper representation. in order to prevent abuses of freedom of the press, the gov ernment Is preparing a new - preen law something France bevtr had before. This will Inakt) It obligatory to disclose to the public Die names of all those who are backing a news paper, so that the complexion of the paper may be quite clear. The law, u projected, also will prevent the subsidising of a newspaper by a foreign government. Lt. Ory Heads Post Building Lt. Francis 'J. Ory, public works officer of the U.

DREW'S MANST0RE 731 Main St. J more research into Just such problems. Ilo says that over since DDT has been available In quantities Hint made fairly larue scale ti-stH possible, tho scientific workers of bin burcuu in cooper ation with other Interested agen cies, have been making increas ingly comprehensive tests of DDT in experiments that would glvo authoritative Information as to the effects of tho chemical on beneficial Insects, birds, fish and other wlldlllo. Jin emphasizes that results have been generally encourag Ing. Ono of the early fears was that DDT would destroy too many bees, which are useful as honey collectors and even more valuable as pollonl.crs of many erons. ruirllculnrly legumes and fruit. Tests Indlcato that DDT Is not as deadly to bees as was feared. In work so far It has ap peared less deadly than the ar senical sprays now commonly used, and there Is evidence that beekeepers may come around to view DDT as a promising re lief from arsenic poisoning of bees. In regard to large scale use of DDT. which iitmears tfi offer for the first time a practical con trol lor some forest Insects, Dr. Annand says: "Tho occurrence of these outbreaks in Itself is evidence that tho beneficial In sects, birds and other predators have failed in holding tho popu lation down, and that a supple ment is needed to bring tho In sect population moro nearly In balance with the vegetation on which It feeds." Dr. Annand pointed out that when a forest area Is almost completely killed by such a pest as tlio spruce budworm, the ef fect Is a disturbance of the "bnl anco of nature" that can be com pared to the effects of a forest fire. Wildlife, birds, other In sects, and even fish aro displaced and destroyed rather completely by the forest fire or by the death of most of the trees. In contrast, fairly largo scale tests of DDT indicate that DDT may check a pest that is on the rampage and thus actually restore tho bal ance of nature that would other wise bo destroyed. Birds, wild life, and beneficial Insects aro soon able to return to treated areas, although a killing of the trees by tho pest, If not controll ed, might keep them out, lor years. 8tromb.ro -Carlson Radios.
