The top OF the shade and the bottom

of cluny banding with a slightly ir-
regular edge. This should be put on

Another way TO decorate these frames
is to use cluny insertion an inch or

through the center. When this Is sewed

PARASITES FIGHT
GYPSY MOTHS
OVER 100000 LET
LOOSE AS EXPERIMENT
Part of Campaign maugurated by
State and National Agricultural
Authorities Against Destructive
Pests-FOur Different Varieties of
Flies and Beetles Expected TO Do
the Work.

Boston. May 29.-Over 100000
moth h-destroylng parasites have been
let loose from the experiment station
at Melrose Highlands this month, as
result of the campaign inaugurated
by the national and state agricultural
authorities against the destructive
gypsy and brown-tail moths. Four
distinct varieties of parasitic flies
and beetles have been used in such
experiment.
The large colosma beetles, as well
as two other species closely allied to
them. climb the trees, seize the cater
piller and never let go until they have
devoured the wriggling insect. The
tachinid flies lay their eggs upon the
outer skin of the catterpillars usually
close up to the head. The larvae that
hatch penetrate the skin of the cater
pildr and feed upon its intestines.
Another group of parasites deposit
eggs inside the skin of the caterpil-
lar, and there is another parasite, a
minute midge. that drills into the
eggs of the caterpillar and lays its
eggs inside. The larvae of the para
site feed upon the contents of the
caterpilar's eggs until ready to
emerge. Some of these flies also en-
ter the nests or winter webs of the
brown tail moths and there operate
upon the alternating caterpillars dur
ing the winter months.
The scientists say there is every
reason to believe that i'm time these
parasites will accomplish the prac-
teal suppression of the gypsy moth
here as they have in Europe.
The present experiment is regard
ed as the most important that has
been tried in the war against the
gypsy moth.
The workers at the experiment sta
ton, who include trained naturalists
from the department of agriculture
In Washington, assert that there is no
likelihood that the parasites them
selves will prove to be undesirable
additions to New England insect life
as all the imported species which are
found TO be in any way dangerous
have been rejected. 1t is the theory
OF the scientists that after the para,
sites have reduced the ranks of the
gypsy and brown tail moths they will
themselves become fewer in number
from lack of food supply

with bitulithic pavement, when the
facts are that Mayor Wilkins and his
high license, anti-prohibition council
took up the question of paving, went
to Portland and thoroughly investi-
gated the different kinds of pavement,
and passed the law requiring these
streets to be paved with bitulithic, and
the work of the new pavement is
simply in accordance with their or
ders. Eugene is a beautiful city,
there are many women and children
and idle men on the streets every day,
but the worker from the mills and
woods with the money in their
pockets" don't come here any more.
The Eugene Commercial club, in a
fit of desperation, has employed
California Booster at a salary of
$4,000 a year in an attempt to attract
capital but many of our level headed
business men are of the opinion that
all that is needed is a return of the
conditions of two years ago.
