Canadian Army Fights Clothes Moth
A resounding victory, without precedent in any army in all history, has been won by the Canadian Army. Tineola Biselliella has been conquered. Tineola Biselliella spreads a trail of ruin costing hundreds of millions of pounds throughout the world every year. So far as the Canadian Army is concerned, hi,s day is ended. Tineola Biselliella (states the New Zealand Wool Board news service) is the common clothes moth. He lives mostly on wool, though he sometimes eats fldur. In the Canadian Army he will in future eat neither, for the Canadian Government is the first to specify mothproofed uniforms for all its armed forces. It is announced that 500,000 yards of khaki cloth—enough for 160,000 battle dress uniforms —are to be processed with a r.ewly discovered mothproofing compound.
