Mississippi C. Lyle and assistants (September): Daring the last week 
of August injury by the silverfish or slicker was observed 
in wall paper in Corinth. The room had recently been papered 
and the insects had eaten numerous holes in the paper, which 
marred the appearance of the room greatly. Silverfish are 
very abundant in residences at L T atche2, feeding on wall paper 
and paste.
