LOCUSTS
EXPERIMENTAL "RAIDS"
London, Apr. 5.. A large-scale attack by clouds of poison dust distributed from an aeroplane is to be made upon the locust storms which cause annually £1,600,000 damage in tropical and sub-tropical Africa.
cvolved
This new method was by Mr. H. H. King, who, two years ago, whon Government Eatomo- logist to the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, discovered by laboratory tests that adult locusts fell speedy victims to a spray of finely-ground Bodlum arsenite. He conceived the Idea that swarms might be success- fully countered by discharging a cloud of this poisonous dust from an aeroplane flying across the line of their flight. His suggestion Awas taken up by the Locust Con trol Committee of the Economic Advisory Council and funds were provided by the Colonial Develop ment Fund.

What's in a NAME?
Has it over occurred to you that the only motor car body universally known by name is the Fisher Body.
That is something worth remembering and weighing when you buy an automobile..
The fine and time-honoured craft of coach building is as natural a part of Fisher as is the name itself. For more than 25 years the growth of the Fisher organization depended upon its alertness to the public's desire for style and safety and comfort. What, specifically, does the name "Body by Fisher" mean to the buyers of cars to-day?
It means that the body which bears, this name enjoys the benefits of manufacturing and financial recources greater than those of all other bodymakers combined -and therefore receives the advantage of every opportunity -which large scale manufacture presants, ALL CHEVROLET BODIES ARE BUILT BY FISHER. for your safety, comfort and health.
