CATHOLICS AND THE BIBLE.
Editor FL Paso Herald.
In glancing over the letters to The
Herald in Fridays edition. I noted the
following paragraph in a letter from
Y. y. l. 'Since when has it been that
the Roman Catholic church allowed its
laymen. least Of all its children, to
read the Bible? It is a new thing
under the sun"
That kind OF transformation hardly
deserves the honor Of any comment or
attention, for most people know bet
ter than to allow themselves to be
misled by the mere statement Of a
charge which has not the slightest
foundation in fact In the interest OF
truth, however, I take this opportunity
Of advising Y Y. Z TO do himself the
justice Of studying Catholic teaching
from unbiased sources. so that he may
be spared having the Intelligent public
judge the worth Of his letters as a
whole by such a glazing misstatement
of fact as is found in the above quo
tation.
The Catholic church has never forbid
den either its laymen or its children
to study the Bible, but il would hard
" be reasonable to expect children
20 gain much by studying, by them
selves. a book which has caused so
much dissensiOn and confusion among
the brightest leaders Of Professionalism
There are other statements in X
Y rs letter which are on a par with
the above. but let them pass for what
they are worth Let us all be broad
minded. practice brotherly love, and
stand up for God and country. and in
time all our troubles and differences
will find the right solution Yours
truly, A Layman.

WHY WE SHOULD EAT BUGS
By Frederic J. Haskin

MOT long ago DR.. L. o. Howard,
~ chief of the Bureau of Entomol-
ogy, which is that branch of the
Department of Agriculture devoted to
the study of insects, caused to be
number of big, fat, white grubs, or
garden slugs of the sort you frequently
turn up when digging for bait.' These
we're not intended for bait, however,
but for another government scientist,
DR.. Langworthy who wears the title of
Chief of the Bureau of Home Eco
nomics, and knows more about cook
ing than anybody else in Washington.
DR.. Langworthy presented the worms
to his most skillful chef, who made of
them a rich broth. thickened with
chopped lettuce leaves and seasoned
with salt, pepper and paprika. In
this unusual form the grubs returned
to the initiator of the enterprise, DR..
Howard, who consumed a cup of the
claimed it delicious. One of his as
sistants courageously backed the
chief, and he, too, said the soup was
good. There was no argument.
These conservative scientists were
not merely indulging in exotic taste
for an insectivorous diet. Neither of
them had ever knowingly consumed
SHdTeQ
a serious scientifice conviction that in
sects are an excellent human food,
which is being almost neglected by
civilized man; and they wished at once
to put their beliefs to the test, and to
give a practical demonstration of the
edibility of bugs.
The argument in favor of eating in
sects is literally unanswerable. Like
wise the prejudice among most civiliZ-
q n Of ie, ,I
most insuperable. So the situation is
a deadlock A sufficient number of
exalted examples, like that of DR..
Howard, might suffice to break it. If
New York society, for example, would
take up cockchafer on toast. and grass
hopper omelette, there is little doubt
but what these dishes would come in
to general favor. An administration
really desirous of lowering the cost of
living might do much by having some
of the more savory native insects serv-
ed at the White House table DR.
Howard has made a beginning Let
whose has the courage follow him.
The matter is of far more moment
than appears at a glance. The popu-
lation of the earth is increasing at q
great rate, and everywhere food is
becoming more difficult to obtain. Es-
pecially in this true of animal food.
Red meat, fish, shell-fish, and the
crustacea are all becoming scarce.
The last of these, the crustacea, in
cluding the Holsters, shrimps and
crabs, are first cousins to the insects,
having the same sort of flesh and
structure. Yet the lobster scars to
unheard of prices and is threatened
with extinction, while his near rela-
tive, the June Bug, has escaped all
consideration as an article of diet.
Our refusal to eat insects is incon-
sistent, squeamish and ridiculous
that is apparent. That is not the end
of the matter, however. It NAV be
stated with almost literal truth that
sooner or later we will have to eat
the insects in self defense. Modern
life on this planet is a battle between
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-07-29

man and the insects-and the latter
are in every physical respect better
fitted to survive. All other forms of
life have been subjugated by man so
FAR as he has come IN contact with
almost undiminished numbers, and
continues to menace the life and we'll
being of the human race. Grasshop-
pers descend upon our crops and leave
whole States in a starving condition
as result of these pests. The boil
weevil, creeping southward, threatens
the life of a great industry Moths
deVour the shade trees of whole cities.
House-fys take thousands of lives by
acting as disease carriers, and the
mosquito laden with yellow fever and
malaria, kills more men than any wild
animal that ever inhabited the earth
So modern life is in a very real
sense desperate struggle between
man and the insects. Some scientists
believe that it is the insects who will
survive, and that they will own the
earth long after every other form of
life has perished. DR.. Howard be-
lieves that man will ultimately over
come the insects by reason of his su-
perior intelligence; and the valiant
battle which his department is waging
against the insect enemies of Amer
lean agriculture is an impressive de-
monstration of his theory. But
whether we are to conquer or not, it
is certain that the struggle is really
desperate. and it promises to become
more so as man extends his dominion
over the tropics, which are the most
productive part of the earth, and have
so 1ar been kept in a state of wilder
ness largely by the insects who carry
death to every intruder.
Now in this struggle for existence
1t is evident that our enemies have
one great advantage over us in that
they live upon the spoils of war. while
we do not. A pest of grasshoppers
descends upon Kansas, and lays waste
| the country. The farmers 60 forth
with poison and traps to destroy them,
Ihere is heavy loss on both sides
But the grasshoppers live upon the
substance of the farmers, while every
cent which the farmer spends in de-
stroylng the insects is a complete
loss. Now just suppose that roasted
and salted grasshopper was a e stsnIa
tood with civilized man as it is in
North Africa. Corporations would
pay the farmers large sums for the
grasshopper rights off their lands
The insects would be gathered bv the
ton IN huge machines designed for the
purpose, and shipped to all parts of
the world. The crops would be saved
and the farmers would make a neat
royalty to boot.
rms sounds bit Utopian; yet some
thing very like it is being done in
parts OF Europe, where the cokchafer
is very abundant. Children are there
employed to gather the insects which
are fed to the pigs. A recent traveller
IN IN germany reports that frequently
the peasant children Will stop in this
work to pull the legs and wings off
