.LOCUSTS COME ONCE
IN SEVENTEEN YEARS
They Are Due to Arrive Again
Some Time Next
Summer.

BOYS who have heard of seventeen
chance to sec some OF the genuine ones
this summer. This insect is one of the
most remarkable in the world. 1t actu-
ally does take seventeen years to develop,
and the recurrence of the brood at inter
walls OF seventeen years has been traced
back TO 1924 in Connecticut. and to 1115
in New Jersey. 1t is much like the ordi-
nary locust. except that il Is red where
the common locust is green.
The temperance Of the brood at sev
enteen-year intervals has been traced
more recently in other localities, and its
range is now pretty well defined as COW
ering eastern New York, part of New
England and the Atlantic coast as far as
North Carolina.
Two Distinct Types.
1t may not be generally appreciated by
the public but there are two distinct types
of these long-maturing locusts, thr-
feen-year and a seventeen-year variety.
This year the thirteen-year southern brood
will overlap the regular eastern seven
teen-year brood. These apparently ir-
regular appearances have tended to throw
discredit on the regularity of the appear
ance of the different broods, but it can
be said on the authority of the Depart
ment of Agriculture that they are abso-
lutely so reliable that the calendar can
be regulated by them
The appearance of the locuSts in great
numbers usually causes some uneaSiness
among the public as to possible damage
to shade trees and orchards, but as a
matter of fact the damage they do Is
slight and in the case of young orchards
can almost entirely be obviated by trim
ming back the trees that have been at
tackled.

Lodge Talks of Tariff Commission.

Senator Lodge talked to the President
about the tariff commission bill, which
was reported TO the Senate yesterday by
the Massachusetts senator and is now in
position for action. Senator Lodge was
of the opinion that time is mighty shor-
for all sorts of legislative work, but that
there il hope both for the tariff commits
sion bill and the reciprocity agreement.
When IL was suggested 10 Senator
Lodge that there had been limitations Of
filibustering against the tariff bill and
Canadian reciprocity he said: 4 do nc.
believe there will be any fiiibustering.
Mr.. Lodge remarked that night sessions
~ tho Senate would soon be necessary to
put through necessary legislation. like
the appropriation bills THE appropria-
ton bills, though he said, seem to be
going through without much trouble
There is SO much interest in other things
that few people appear to bother about
the appropriation bills.

FOR FAMILY TROUBLES
Wife Reverses Usual Order in

for Divorce.

The unique claim of an interfering
father-in-law is made in the answer filed
today in the District Supreme Court by
Mrs. Bertha V. Hammer to the suit for
absolute divorce recently begun against
her by her husband, Dee Hammer.
The claim of too much mother-in- law
is frequently raised in divorce proceed
ings in the District courts, but the oldest
clerk today could not recall when a
charge of meddling had been brought
against husbands father.
Under Fathers Domination.
Mrs. Hammer tells the court that her
husband is completely under the DONNA
ton and control Of his father, and to
this alleged condition the wife attributes
a great deal of her marital unhappiness.
She calls her father-inlaw's alleged ac-
tons '.officious intermeddling'' and says
this was so apparent to Judge De Lacy
when her domestic troubles were before

the children. under pain of punishment

Mrs. Hammer denies the charges
made by her husband, declares she has

Fassett remarked: II believe that rec

pressure of a united democracy and a
combination will roll over all of us
who stand in the way. But the talk OF

Champ Clark ambled into the White
House shortly before IL o'clock. Mr..

in the trade are pinning their hopes
TO a 1-cent lamb market around that

unanimously shared in. The fact that
