100000 BUGS
ARRIVE To EAT
PLANT PARASITE
They Are Brought to the Refrig-
GRAFTON Congress on Ice, but
Will Be Revived.

CHICAGO. Sept 27-Four millions
Of visitors came to Chicago in the
most unobtrusive manner possible to
attend the International Congress and
Exposition Of Refrigeration at the
Stockyards Amphitheater. Despite
their numbers. few of the 1000 dele
gates from all parts of the world who
are here to discuss and reveal the icy
marvels of refrigeration even knew of
their presence.
The visitors held themselves in an
icy reserve for the very good reason
that they were frozen. They were all
members of the ladybug family, and
they came here in two crates from
Southern California, where they have
been industriously destroying the
aphis, or green plant loase, that af-
fiicts plant life in that region.
To-day the ladybugs are expected
to come to life and betray the same
appetite for their favorite dish Of
aphis bugs that they did in their ma
tive State. Their travels across ehe
two thirds Of the continent in a frozen
state will not Inconvenience them i'll
the least. In fact, it was in their "a.
vor, for they did not mind the rigOrs
of the journey as they might have
done had they not been as rigid aud
unconscious as a Greeland iceberg.
The ladybugs are'the property of z.
J. Vosler, of California, who superin-
tended their going to sleep in refrig-
orator in that State and who will
overlook their resurrection to-day. 1t
is expected that every one of the mig
colony will come back to life hungry
for a meal.

Of the Mental Hygiene conferences which Are being held in New Haven this week, the New Haven Register says editorially: "In this which has now taken on the character of nationwide campaign for the conservation of sanity, Connecticut, and especially New Haven. has reason for pride of origin. It was a New Haven man, Clifford W. Beers, out of whose experience the movement was born, and in whose conviction of human need it has been carried to its present promising degree of advance ment. The effort to cure and to prevent insanity is as old as effective humani- tarlan impulse, but never until now has it centered around concrete human experience, and never has it had such a determined, personal driving force as this whose effects are now before our eves"

THE ANTI-SUFF. WOMEN.

The Womens Anti ti-Suffrage Associa- tion of Connecticut is getting. real ex- eited-in fact, inordinately alarmed If the estin1able ladies comprising that altruistic organization really believe in their own slogan, that Less than per cent. of the women of Connecticut want the ballot" This computation. doubt less is based on the roll of those who have expressed desire for the ballot, and does not take into account the greater number of those who are recep- tive but not actively campaigning for the franchise. There are undoubtedly great many women who do ''want the ballot" and will go to the polls and vote when they get 1t. whose names are not on the roll of auy Equal Franchise League and who are taking no part in the suffrage agitation.
 Commenting editorially on this Anti Association, the New Haven Union says
 "Nobody intends to force the ballot upon women who do not want it. They can stay at home as always, and thus escape what they sincerely believe to be the contaminating touch of politics; but certainly not wanting to vote themselves theirs is a dog-in-the- manager spirit when they try to prevent their sisters, who do want it, from obtaining it.
 "If there is one form of reactionarism and conservatism in this country that is more pitiable, illogical and ridiculous shan another, it is the spirit and purpose of the anti,suffragettes. At best, they are mere handful of respectable old ladies, old in spirit and ideas, if not in age, who have forgotten that the world does move."

Corrosion of Tin.

The popular idea that only acid sub. stances attack tin is wrong. Fish asparagus. beans, pumpkin and spinach are not acid and yet their corrosion of tin is quite marked. This is probably due to amino compounds, substances. related to ammonia. In the case of shrimp the cans are often eaten through in a comparatively short time. So aka fine is the methylamine contained in the shrimp that workmen i'll the canneries find the skin peeling off their hands and their shoes eaten through. Shrewd ob- servation by some canneries led to the discovery that if the shrimp were iced for a day before canning the corrosive action of the juices was greatly dimin- ished. This Is now the universal prac- tice. In addition. the cans are lined with paper to prevent contact of shrimp and tin.

The Wurra Wurra Club.

Horace Humphrey was elected chair man pro tenn. in the unavoidable absence of President Al. Briggs, who was in New Marlboro, looking at hoss. Dr. Ross was instructed to sing the Opening Ode, but declined, on the ground that he had not had his voice tried by Mir. Paine in several years, and he knew he'd make d failure of it. Sheriff Lew Rhoades vol unteered to sing in his place, and the Ode was executed according to law. Mayor Rowe read the minutes of the previous meeting, in his most impressive manner, and was unanimously cheered.
 When the regular order of business was taken up, Ed. Warner rose and of fered a motion that the committee of ar- engagements for the Wurra Wurra Clubs annual banquet invite Governor Bald win, when he comes to the Business Mems banquet, to be the guest of honor.
 Joe Parsons objected. "That would be simply imitation," said he. Let's be original, if we're going to be anything. Let's have banquet without any after dinner speaking at all."
 al would like to offer an amendment to that objection" spake up Ozzie Vos- burgh. "Let's have a banquet without anything to eat. If there's anything originaller than that, I'd like to hear it."
 The chair interrupted at this point to declare the discussion disorderly and ruled the whole proposition under the table
 Judge Ford, chairman of the sidewalk committee reported that he had seen Joe Parsons talking to Selectman Reel, and inferred that there would be something doing, before long, in the matter of build. ing a crosswalk at the junction of Main and Railroad streets.
 Harry Holt rose to make motion that a committee be appointed to search the statutes to ascertain if there is any way to accomplish the arrest of the negro who is suspected of having burglaIzed Collins jewelry store a few weeks ago. "Nobody seems to have any doubt about the identity of the nimble coon who climbed in through the transon, and climbed out the same way, dropping down in front of a watcher who had q gun in his hand, as we'll as crowd of other would-be thief-takers," said Mir Holt. "And everybody knows where he is now yet he has never been arrested nor molested. Doesn't that put a premium on burglary? If fellow can bust our windows and enter our places of business at midnight, and get away without any effort being made to appre bend him, what store or business estab. ment is safe from burglary? It looks to me like a serious proposition"
 The chair adhered to his former rul- ing ruling, and declared the question out of order.
