17-YEAR LOCUST AGAIN DUE
Coming Of Periodical cicada Is Pre-
dicted in Pennsylvania by Col
lege Professor.

The "17-year-locust" is due In
Pennsylvania this year, according
to G. II. Hadley, Jr., in charge
of entomology extension at State col
lege. The pest is what is known as
brood eight of the periodical ci-
cada," and it appeared here last In
1900.
"This is one of the largest insect
broods to occur in this state" Hadley
says. "While locusts are usually OF
importance mainly because of the pop
ular interest aroused, 1t is quite pos
sible that considerable damage may be
caused in those places where the In
sects appear in unusual abundance."-

New Art DISCUSSES Uniforms.

One Of the largest conceptions for
rendering military uniforms less WIS.,
ible on the field of battle is to use ma
terial in pronounced irregular alternat-
ing patches of contrasting light and
dark colors with navy outlines.
Some of the darker patches are out
lined in still darker color, and SMALL
er spots of contrasting color break up
the color effect of some of the patches.

Only Vely Bey remained silent. He
did not stir or speak. He stared, mo-
tionless, at the lake.
From its mirror rose one last, ter
rible wall. Then there was utter ST.
lence, more terrible still.
Sulaiman fell to the floor, sobbins.
Mukhtar groveled at the door. All
Pasha said with his grave, kindly
smile: "Now the battlefield will not
seem so terrible to you as 1t did few
hours ago. Depart with all speed.
When you return, you shall find new
harems here"
He unlocked the door and disap-
peared. Sulaiman and Mukhtar sent
fearful curses after him, but Vely Bey
remained silent and immobile, looking
down at the water. He stood there
while the dusk came and passed, while
the night came on and grew black.
Blacker than the night were the
thoughts that he bent upon his father.
Ali Pasha, in his own chamber,
thought also. He thought of prophecy
made for him many years before by
holy man: "Thine own child shall one
day slay thee"

Deaf Men Found to Be Best
Workers in Noisy Factory

The war is developing new labor
conditions and problems. Probably the
most unique instance which has come
to light is contained in a request made
of the labor bureau of the Ohio branch
of the national defense council by an
Ohio manufacturer, says the Columbus
Dispatch.
II want from twenty to thirty deaf
men. If they are deaf and dumb both,
it won't make any difference" This
was the request made by a big Ohio
manufacturer. II will pay them from
$3.50 to $3.50 per day and give them
steady work. 1 want to put them to
work in one branch Of my factory
where the noise is so great that 1t Is
impossible to keep hearing men on
the job. I tried a couple Of deaf men
and they have proved so successful
that want score or more of them"

EnQIish Editors Wit.

Sir Francis Cowley Burnand, form
erly editor Of Punch, died at Ramsgate,
England, at the age Of eighty-one. He
was playwright and author of much
light literature. Among his publica-
tons are Happy Thoughts" 1866; the
Happy Thought Series; Modern Sand
ford and Merton" New Light on
Darkest Africa "Strapmore;; "Ride
to Khiva;" Eccentric Guide to Isle
Of Thanet," and more than one hun
dred and twenty plays, chiefly bur-
lesque and light comedies.
A born wit was the famous writer.
A friend met him out walking one cold
day, and accosted him with, "You
never wear an overcoat, Burnand?"
"No I never vast" came back the
answer, quick as flash.
Had he fresh in his mind, one Won
ders, the old answer to the riddle,
"What is the difference between a
great-coat and baby" which runs:

HALF A CUP OF MILK
"Many MickIe Makes
MuckIe."

Half q cup of milk-Whole'
SKINNED or sour-a seemingly trlhlne
matter-hardly worth the trouble to
keep or use.
In many households quite a little
milk is wasted-left uncovered IN
glasses-regarded as useless because
the cream has been skinned off-al-
lowed to sour-poured down the sink
or thrown out.
Now, if every home-there are ~
100000 Of them-shOuld waste on the
average one-half cup daily, it would
mean waste of 100000 quarts
daily-912, 100000 quarts year-the
total product Of more than 100000
COWS.
It takes lot Of grass and grain to
make that much milk-and an army OF
people to produce and deliver it.
But every household doesn't waste
a half-cup Of milk day? Well, say
that one-half cup is wasted In only
one out of a hundred homes. Still in
tolerable, declare government experts
when milk is so nutritiOus-when skim
milk can be used in making nutritious
SOUPS and cereal dishes-when sour
milk can be used in bread-making or
for cottage cheese.

Japanese Form Unions and
Will Demand Higher Wages.

Agricultural and commercial unions
are forming in many parts Of Japan.
One Of the most noticeable results Of
the European war is the advancement
in geographical and commercial knowl-
edge acquired by the working people
from the newspapers. They have i'm
proved to remarkable degree in in
formation about the rest Of the world.
Prior to the war, the laboring classes
knew almost nothing about the rest of
the world. Due to the enterprise of the
Japanese journals In chronicling the
progress of events, the entire popula-
ton is fully Informed.
The Japanese people have become
cosmopolitans, says the East and West
News. They are contented because
plenty of work offers; but they have
learned about the wages paid in other
parts Of the world for labor similar to
theirs and are very likely, after the
war, to insist on higher wages. Opin-
ion is general that skilled workmen in
Japan will insist on better remunera-
ton.

His Check Was Too Big.

Matthew White, Jr., cashier at the
Hotel Belvidere, in Baltimore, has had
many requests made of him and he
thought he was immune from surprise
until a guest from the far West
stepped up to his window and asked
him if ne could cash a check.
"Certainly," said Mr.. White, "that's
what I am here for. How will you
have it, fives, ten or small changer"
"Not particular" said the guest lay
ing down a United States treasury
check for $195,OOO.
When Mr.. White recovered he owned
up that he did not have quite that
much money in his cash drawer.
"But," said Mr.. White, ''leave it with
me, and I will send it to the subtreas-
ury and you can call for the money in
the morning"
The stranger explained that it was
lust n little joke. The check was
good, and had been given to him in
Washington in payment for three ships

made him stand out more prominently

marked that had Johnson been with

when those teams were winning pen
nants he would have established some

And Joe Jackson has been prevented

Handmade Lace Of Paraguay.

Among the cottage" industries Of
Paraguay is the manufacture of lace
called "nanduti" (from the Guaranian
word meaning web). The articles pro-
duced, waich are all made by hand, in
clude parasol covers, handkerchiefs,
doilies, boleros, mantillas, table mats,
shawls, edging and insertion. The ar
ticles most popular with foreigners are
parasol covers, mantillas, doilies, hand
kerchiefs and mats, these being made
of silk or very fine cotton thread.
These laces appear to be superior In
quality and design to similar laces
made in the Canary Islands and Mex
leo.
The lace is usually sold by peddling
It from house to house, and has never
been exported to any important de-
gree.
