How TO Kill Them
Moths Turn Into Cater
pillars, and Brighten Lawn
Owners.

Should you, by an chance, discover In
your lawn or garden a smooth, striped
caterpillar about an inch and a quar-
ter long and a quarter of an inch thick.
you have made the acquaintance of the
army worm, the dread pest that is de-
vastating fields of wheat, oats, corn,
blue grass and other grasses, lawns. and
gardens in many of the States.
The army worm was so named be-
cause it travels in great bands. squads.
and platoons, and because of it's bold
night marches. Starting across a lawn,
the army worm will throw out a line
perhaps hundred yards wide and move
steadily forward in a straight unbroken
line like West Point cadets. on parade.
This line is clearly defined always, and
can be seen for any distance. Before it
is in the rich, green lawn, behind 1t,
scared, burned out and exceedingly dead
grass.
The army worm Is no respecter of per-
sons, and has no fears. To prove this,
year ago the army worm marched
across the lawns of the Department of
Agriculture, the pride of the Govern
ment experts, and laid them waste. In
doing this the worm invaded the lair of
his worst enemies, the entomologists of
the department. who have spread traps.
poisons and certain death in his path
way, in bitter warfare.
People Seek Relief.
Wrought up over the devastation Of
their lfieds, lawns or gardens. city beau
tiful advocates as well as tillers of the
soil have besieged the Department of
Agriculture by hundreds for aid. The
Department has had a recent deluge of
letters, telephone calls, messages, tele-
grams and personal callers asking help
to stop the advance or the hordes of
army worms. The outbreak is seperal.
The experts say that the worms are
emegring from eggs laid by moths that
apparently swarmed up from the. south
west.
Great numbers of these moths have
been noticed In and around Washington
during the past ninth, and the pop
ulace has been curious as to what they
were. Hundreds - their broken wings
have been seen littering the ground near
the Union Station, where they seemed
to gather, perhaps for another swoop
northward. Lawns in the Capital are
being overrun by the pest

PORTE PLANS FLIGHT

HAMMONDSPoRT. n. Y. July 16-
We are satisfied that the America is or
he right road to perfection. The sea
sled type OF bottom. tried twice yester-
day, gave very satisfactory results. A
definite program of reconstruction was
agreed upon forthwith, and August l
~ss set as the day for shipping the
sirboat from New York to Newfound-
and. Arriving there August 5. We ex-
peet to start the transatlantic flight as
nearly as possible to August 10.
It looks now as though it might be
physically possible to complete the
America in time for shipment on July
z, but It seems better to allow an extra
veek for Mr.. Curtiss to make the con-
struetion perfect August 1, however,
IL the latest date on which we should
start, IN order to get away before the
unsettled weather. A delay beyond
that might put the flight over into

On the first trial, the unfinished bow
Of the sea-sled kicked up a spray

Before rebuilding the hull of the
America to include the new and wider
bottom of the sea sled. we decided to
carry out the experiment TO its ulti-
mate conclusion. although well salts
fed that IL is the correct principle.
Mr. Curtiss, will proceed at once to
inclose the sides and top OF the ex-
tended bottom. making a water-tight
