GRASSHOPPERS CAUSE PANIC
A Boy Turns Four Hundred Insects
 Loose In a Dininq Room.

Portland, Me. Aug. PA dozen smartly gowned women and as many men in evening dress were thrown in- to ludicrous panic when Gregory VII Hams, fourteen-year-old Brooklyn boy and son of Mrs. Gregory Williams, let loose 400 grasshoppers at q dinner par ty which his mother was giving at her summer home in Oxford.
 Women grabbed frantically at their hair, in which the insects lodged, clutching the air to ward off the in- sects, and knocked dishes. vases and expensive ornaments to the floor in their wild flight around the dining room. Two of the women tainted, and the party was broken up.
