It has oval wings and what looks aur- prisingiiy like a long neck (this neck is really the front part of the thou-ax.) The mantis has a amall angular head and bulging eves. Its four fund legs look much like those of a. grasshopper. They arc immensely strong and are fit- ted with giherp barbs along the imdcr-silrfece. . The eggs of tbs praying mantis are laid in an oval mass. generally upon the stem of a plant. This rqg mass is covered with a tough ma of hardened mucus, the sur- face of which chews a curiously braided pattern. Generally the forelqs are doubled up. with the claws held right under the head.

March 20 — (GP) - Present standards are so low that almost any attempt at air disinfec- tion would be an improvement says an expert's report entitled "Studies in Air Hygiene." "In large offices good ventilation. good lighting and dust control are worth while as, permanent mea- sures," the report concludes. "Air disinfection by chemicals or ultra- violet radiation is worth adding when an epidemic is prevalent. Sodium iiypochlorltc is suggested as an efficient liquid spray. Dr. D. directed the survey, says a large typing office should have one spray for every 10 workers, and it should be used every half hour. He notes that hand-sprays are frequently used with unsuitable liquids, including formulydehyde which "is useless or dangerous since It is only effective in concen- trations which are highly irritant to the human respiratory tract." The experts noted "alarming out- breaks" of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Royal Navy duo to over- crowding. One reconlmendation was that vaccum cleaners be used in- stead of brooms which raise big clougls of dust. The mlcrobic content of hospital air was closely studied and if was urged that windows in wards be opened as a regular practice after bed-makings and dressings to per- mit escape of infected all".

He had brains, bravery. coolness -he was dashing, debonair, hand- some, with a. voice "like Ronald Coleman and of such magic per- suasion that he could have talked a Whitehall Lifeguard off his horse. If anybody was going to make a success of crime you would think it must have been Trevor. He» won a scholarship to a fam- ous public school near Birming- ham, where many of England's present bishops were educated. He was restless, talented. He became a clerk in a. bank, walked out. trained to be an architect. passed his preliminaries-then quit to join the Royal Marines. He deserted. hid his uniform. garbed himself in immaculate morning-coat, Ascot grey trousers, white carnation, gold rimmed mon- ocle, and—as Lord Reginald 1-for- bert-stalked lmperlously into the wonderful London of the Gay Nineties. to become a one-man crime wave with an Oxford accent. With not a sovereign in his poc- ket, he hired a. brougham and two flunkcys. He took hls equipagrto a coun- try hotel, had a sumptuous lunch- eon and cashed a cheque with the awed landlord, to (whom-with sud- den. sunny amlle-hc said! "That's damned obliglng of you. my man.
