The Pests Return To Be Looked For Next
June-Where And How The Young
Are Hatohed-An Insect
With Large Wings


Workmen about the new pos,office
building were reminded a few days since
that there is such a creature as the u
year locust. While grading in the rear
of the new government building bevy
of, these pests in a semi-comatose condi-
tion were fouLd at depth OF FIVE feet
below the surface.
Here the old with their young were
clustered together. possibly awaiting their
advent next year-the end of another
seventeen years. when they are schedul-
ed to put in their destructive work. The
name scientists have applied to this in
sect is cicada septe mdecem. and the
manner of their evolution from larvae to
the perfect state is most interesting.
Each female deposits about one hum
dTed eggs in the twigs of the trees on
which they happen to be. dying imme-
diaiely afterwards. The larvae drops TO
the ground when hatched and bore their
way down-sometimes TO a considerable
depth, and remain there for seventeen
years. sucking the roots of plants Tor their
subsistence. How they know when their
confinement is up has not been satisfac-
torily explained. but when they come out
the ground is honeycombsd with myraids
of small holes.
They are still in the larvae state then
and crawl to the nearest tree and short
way up its trunk. Soon the shell breaks
and they come out-a beautiful insect
with large wings. The females then be-
gin preying on anything green, such as
tree leaves and plants, and often inhict
great damage. The noise made by these
insects on a warm summer day is almost
deaiening. The females, however, are
not supplied with the means to make
these sounds, which are confined to the
male. The term "locust" as applied TO
the insect is wrong. though it has almost
been justified by ages. Seventeen years
ago the -locusts were not numerous in
this section of Maryland and did very
little damage. In 1868, however. there
were myriads of them here and they
were very destructive.

Scarcity Of Fish.

There is great scarcity of fsh-1n the
fish market. The reason for this is said
by the fishermen to be due to the ex-
tremely hot weather, which has driven
the FISH out into deep water and beyond
the nets and seine OF the fishermen
There is demand for FISH during the
hot weather when meat is scarce and
high. and the scarcity just at this time is
a deprivation to many.

bing up his cantaloupe vines, as they
have been practically destroyed by the
parasite.

During the process of cleaning out the
catch basins at the intersection of some
of the streets on last Monday, piles OF
dirt were lett on the side OF the street

the dirt and refuse during the past three
days. has caused an unpleasant odor to
arise from these dirt piles. and they
should be carted away.

No Attention Given to Anonymous Letters

Mavor Dubois has been bothered Of
late with number OF anonymous COM
munications. These like all others of
their kind, find their way to the waste
basket. People who have grievances
and desire to make them known ought
not be ashamed OF their name. A letter
without the writer's signature is unworthy
of the slightest consideration, and Mayor
Dubois tosses these missives into the
municipal scrap basket.

This man Washington has been en-
dor1ed by the entire Southern press as the
foremost representative of his race, as one
who was doing more for the real advance
ment OF the negro than anyone else. The
fact that President Roosevelt took lunch
with Il great educator and the best type of n
numerous people did not signify that he at
tempted to put him on social equality with
himself or recognized the negro as Il lit mate
for the white man. And yet these Southern
iire-eaters jump at this conclusion without
one moment of cool thought. When Roose-
welt as President of the United States lunch
ed with Minister WI of China, or the oflici-
ais OF Porto Rico, or some Cuban. such as
Maceo, for instance, or some South Ameri-
can or African dignitary, does that mean he
acknowledges their social equality or would
introduce him rs fit suitor for the hand of
his daughter? These men are invited by the
President Of the United States in his official
capacity as representatives of n people, and
in that capacity he invited Washington to
talk over the problems of the Southern ne
gro which are indeed grave. y ~
