Hawaii is part of the world that
seems to have an artistic temperament.
The types Of it's people, their customs,

Americans first realized the art in
things Hawaiian when It's music came
to the United States. They will now
more fully appreciate the land that in
spires such music. The artistic at
mosphere of Hawaii can not be de-
scribed In words. 1t requires moving

plain it's beauty. This has been ac-
complished by Lyman H. Howe who
brings his new Travel Festival to the
Odeon Theater tomorrow evening. The
series includes a remarkabl travel eX-
perience with visit to the fiery crater
OF volcano which adds some thrills
to most pleasing impression Of Uncle

Show That School Children of City
Destroyed Many Thousand Caterpil-

Pupils of the Woodbury. school will

city during the past week to see who
could gather the greatest amount OF

A total of ninety-four pounds, if

computing available this destruction Of
the pests means the killing Of 11S,500
caterpiIlars, to say nothing of thou
sands upon thousands Of eggs that
would hatch next spring moths to feed
on the foliage of the trees.
What the Children Did.
Upon gathering the caterpillars, CO.
coons. and egg masses the children
took them to their respective school
buildings, where the principal, or some
other person in authority, had each
days collections weighed and burned.
The figures were reported to Su-
perintendent Palmer this morning
They show nineteen pounds, three

record. with the Arnold school second
with fourteen pounds, twelve ounces.
The Arson school was third. with four
teen pounds, and the Click was a half
ounce under the Arson, with thirteen
pounds. fifteen and onehaf ounces.
The Abbott gathered twelve pounds
and thirteen ounces. the Rogers eleven
pounds, the John Childs five, and the
Franklin four pounds and four ounces.
More Work to De.
The school children of the city have
made a fine showing, not only for the
treat the T.-R. offered, but before the
contest began. when much interest was
taken without the hope Of reward.
But there Is still much more work
TO do in the trees where the cater
pillars have formed their cocoons too
high for the children to reach. Each
owner OF tenant in the city
has certainly had sufficient warning as
to what may be expected II the trees
are not looked after. If the warning is
not needed there should be no COM
plant next year If trees die for want
Of foliage.

In crannies in the bark upon almost
every shade tree in the city may be
found the cocoons Of the Tussock
moth. These have appeared from
time to time all thru the summer, but
are especially numerous during the
present month.
The larvae or caterpillars of these
moths are hardly less in evidence and
may be seen crawling about over the
trees and walks everywhere. These
caterpillars, tho quite destructive, are
very beautiful. The head and scent
glands. the latter situated on either
side Of the sixth and seventh abdomi-
nal segments are bright vermillion red.
There is velvety black band running
along the back and it is bordered with
yellow stripes along the sides. The
thorax bears on each side plume like
brush Of long black hairs, while a
similar pencil or brush Of hairs IL to
be found projecting from the alb
domen near the caudal end. In addt-
ton to these the first four segments Of
the abdomen, counting from the head
back, are fitted with dense tufts OF
cream colored hairs

cocoon, and buried under their frothy
covering, may be readily observed up
on the nearest shade tree almost any
where in town.
Upon Matching the young cater
pillars at once begin to devour the
foliage of the tree. Some of the shade
trees in Marshalltown appear to have
been almost entirely defoliated by the
ravages Of this insect. The elms are
especially liable to attack.
Female Coeoons Especially Destructive
As few of our hardwood trees ever
recover from single complete de-
foliation. they must be protected in
some way from these insects. Perhaps
the most practical way to secure the
destruction Of the insects is to collect
the cocoons now or during the winter
and burn them. Especially should the
cocoons Of the female be destroyed.
Were it feasible to distinguish them
the cocoons not bearing eggs should be
allowed to remain, as many OF them
contain parasites destructive to the
caterpillars.
Another way is to spray the infested
trees in the spring with a solution Of
Paris green of a strength Of five
ounces Of the powder to fifty gallons Of
water.
