r, ':the inconvenience, the whole

Si joke. :..
long ago I ices- on night duty
a big public shelter. There were
•
•perrefees a hundred people there with
:their bedding, their playing cards,
'their books and papers and thermos
flasks and sandwiches, all smelt::;,•
down quite thap•pily fur the right,
It was, almost an hour siui'r the
gime had roared. Everything w t=
quiet. Then we heard once more the
throb -throb of the Nazi plane.
Everybody stopped talking to lis-
ten as it came nearer, Some huddlercloser in their corners, others look-
ed apprehensively up as though they
expected to s•et the raider through
the concrete and steel girders 'and
Sandbags over their .heads.
Suddenly a voice broke the waiting
stiliress. "He's only , come bask 't
photograph the damage," said one
woman reassuringly,
Just •at that moment came the- ttn-
•n^istakable `" vhis•tie of a bomb—then
fcnump—and leek- of a heavy
building falling.
..A second voice broke in instantly.
"Seems to have dropped his' blasted
camera:"
• Hang On To Teapot
•
It wa,s in that sante shelter that
I talked to a ecung warden who told
me his house had been . bombed two
• .nights before.
'I was making •a cup of tea when
•• ;tete:. whole piece came down on ire,'
• he said. "I got a bit of a bump os
the. head and when I came round
the :;'ti rue they'd pulled me out
from under. "the kitchen' dresser and
I was still hanging on to the, teepee!!!
I tried to sympatihlze with 4didst
young pian who had neo home yet
who gave up every night, to caring
for the"saf'ety of others.
What had he to say to fihe banal,
inappropriate things 1 tried to say?
Just_ "I never liked that house very
much anyway-l'd wanted to move
for a long time."
One of the memories that will -be
evith are always is of the first raid
casualties I had to dear with.
It Wes early one morning—a cold
r: e.y dawn—and the sirens had just
v. ruled the "All Clear," when they
brought two children into the hoe-
lime
oslft:ti. Two little girls of six and ten,
resit faces blackened and their hs,ir-
grcy as an old woman's with thick
+t:=t. they lay quietly, wide-eyed on
tia stretchers-,
With them came a
woman, calm,.
ua,'cmpaining, ready and anatoiis
re help. She herself was unhurt .and
w,. let her, stay in the ward to cone
ii rt the children. Ou•ce they were
safety tucked up in bed, sthe got "'up
and walked quietly away.
-May I telephone this afternoon
k'row how they are?" she asked.
"Perhaps by' then I shall have news
-for them of their parents." ..
That woman was not, as we had
imagined', their mother, Until the
nieht'whee a bomb, hit the house next
door to her, she didn't eves. know'
those children -'to speak to. It was
only hours after rescue parties • had
telct.n away the peg/We from the up-
per part of that stretken house 'that
etre 'heard a child crying and- went,
uvt to investigate.
There was no one to help her. The
A.R.P. people had gone long ago,•
lel eving they rad got ei'erybody out.
That woman hjtd crawled cautiously
down into the cellar, following the
hall cries from below, and brought
the two little girls out=£heti gene
back to fetch' their teddy bears. Only
when they were safely 'in our care
in hcspitai did she leave them, ask -
!ns. Illy- that sthe. be allowed to know
that they were. recovering.
It was late that afternoon 'schen
we heard from her again. .. She rang
up to tell us ;that she had toured
every hospital in the • neighborhood
'arid had at last found the parents.
They were still uncons'cicus but the
doctors said that, like their children,
they would ' live. And • when they
awokeit would be to hear that their
daughters were doing very well in-
deed in another hospital—thanks to
t':2 ttteless, unselfish work of a com-
plete stranger whto -refused even to
tell us her name.
Walk Through Walls
Even in the East End, the most
cruelly battered. area of all, there
.,is laughter among the heroism 'of
ordinary people. .
•• The -ether morning an East End
polieerran had reluctantly to remon-
strate with a' local publican. "Look
at -tire tame, 'old roan,".he said, "Ten
minute, past closing• time and all
these reoiie still inside: Come on
now." '•
The • publican •.'stmii-ed unrepen'fant:
ly. "What can I do?" he asked.. "If
! shat the' doers they only .walk in
through the walls!;' '
And there is my daily woman who
sleeps' with her whole .family in a
West End undergr and station quite
a long way trent her h•dme. I asked
her why she chose that one.
"It's so' handy, for Bert," she told

We had nearly reached our, des-

.couple of hundred yards away, scat-

us. The stretcher --bounced in our

(Condensed from. The Baltimore Sun-

Curtis Clausen is baldish, blue-eyed
and mild' -mannered. He suggests a
successful but slightly weary busi-
nessman. Such- a casual appraisal,
however, is hryp'eiessly misleading.
For 23 years Clanisen' has travelled
aitmost constantly; through Sumatra
and Mandhuria, Kashamr, and 'remote
South Sea islands. Purpose of these
wanderings: .to find bugs which , will
destroy bugs.
We are probably the world's Most

Clausen's job=anti. the job of the
eleven men under him --is to search
out parasites which the insects left
behind in' their native Countries•;;- to
capture and colonizethem, and set
them •to• work. This type 'of contrtll

He wa,s:: •in Japan in' 1920 when the
order went out to' find a killer .-bug
for the Japanese • beetle: This fear-
fully •destructive pest had , slipped in-
to 'Nfew Jersey with as stitpmnent of
irises. Armed. with a hand lens and
a few cotton -stoppered test tuber',
Clausen started north into the orch-
ard country. Here, he knee•' the
betties' were present but offered no
problem Some parasite held them
in check.
Near Sapporo, "'examining adult
beetles, . he found, ,firmly attached •to
the body of one of them., a nest of
minute . white eggs. Clausen was
thoroughly familiar with .this old par-
asite trick; a means of provid'in'g food

1r.'to the host's body and ate' it hol-
low. But, to identify the parasite, he
would,_have to watch the eggs ,hatch
and allow the larvae to grow.
He quickly set up a field laboratory
and announced that he would pay 25
cerits for each 100 beetles carrying
such egg , masses. Attracted by vis-
ions of sudden wealth, 200 children
collected 100,000 beetles in a single
day. .
Thee -;parasite itt turned one, -might
easily be mistaken for et.he gammon
housefly. In a week's time this pot-
ent killer would destroy 90 per cent
of the beetles in an orchard, Clausen
dispatched shipments of his parasite
to the United, States. But liere, for
?some reason.—perhaps climatic—the
fly's ' life cycle no longer synchroniz-
ed with the beetle's. The fly emeng-
ed a month early- and its days were
over before the beetle craweld out
from hibernation. -
Clausen set out again, this time
with success. ,diefeun'd.-two mintute
wasps which, seeking • put the beetle
grubs und'ergrroun'd, stnng their prey
into a state of paralysis, thew attach-
ed eggs to their bodies. Hatched
larvae ate tber 'grubs. These wasps
are• now being colonized along the
Atlantic seaboard with promising re-
sults.
One of Ciausoen's outstanding jobs
was finding the parasite for the Cub-
an black fly. This pipet was eating
foliage, ^stunning freit and killing
trees in Cuban orchards. The Unit-
ed States Department of Agriculture
feared it might jump to Florida and
endanger the state's $2,000,000,000
citrus industry. 'Clausen took ship
for Singapore .and started workdntg his
way through the cltrus ordharde of
the Malay Seattle.
After months of labor the found a
wasp, even Mote Minute than 'the

black flies for • the parasites to eat,
and, .in turn, something' .for the black
flies themselves to eat.
Clausen packed hundreds, of 'patted

heavily with black flies!--enonr.gh, , he
hoped, to Outlast the wasps. -The

'Ctomiplete extermination of any pest
is generally judged an impossibility,
yet even that has happened. When
the Mediterranean fruit fly was dis-
cov'ered in Orlando, Fla:, 'ie. April,
1929, a gigantic campaign began: At
stake were the state's citrus and whi-
ter vegetable industries. Millions
were poulred into the process of de-
struction • and rigid, quarantine which
ultimately ended in cee:Vete victory.
With little hope ofdeprecating this
performance, most entomologists 'are,
satisfied if they can keep insects in
a 'state of .balanced eontrol at a con,•
scant low level. . •
New problerns, are. always arising.
The white -fringed beetle, for exam-
ple, appeared .in Florida three years
