Father-they apologize profusely-is
in a somewhat merry condition. That
is obvious from the thickness Of his

No shipments Of fruit can be made
from Hawaii to the Pacific coast or
unloaded there unless they have first
received federal approval. The fed
eral horticultural board also maintains
a fruit-fiy specialist whose duty it is to
gather available information regarding
this pest either by travel in foreign
lands or by correspondence with spe-
cialists serving foreign governments.

Travellers from foreign lands have
been called upon to help to the ut

Each passenger must sign an affidavit

fruit subject to fruit-fly attack. m
spectors who search the baggage Of In
coming travellers for fruits carrying
fruit flies or their maggots find infest-
ed fruit every month. Any one Of
these instances If not dealt with
promptly and properly might mean the
loss Of thousands or millions Of dol

London.-The thick London fog,
often referred to in America, is one Of
the British capitals chief projections
from air raids by the Huns. If 1t is
a foggy or misty night the searchllghts
Of Zeppelins cannot reach their long
fingers Of light to the earth ana pick
out the English coast or find their way
to London. Airplanes, likewise are
baffled. So a thick fog gives sense
Of security and one buys a ticket to
theater with far more cheerfulness
than on a moonlight night when the
air is clear.
The weather has attained a new
sphere as topic Of conversation. One
Londoner may greet another with:
''Well, It looks like a good night for
raid" If the evening is fair. More
than hundred bombings have taught
the Londoner to expect a raid on such
nights. He considers 1t lucky If none
occurs.
"Blinds must be drawn at $50 p.
m. today" runs a line In the daily
papers. AS summer approaches the
hour is made later, to correspond with
dusk. And the blinds are drawn. Ho-
tel maids are instructed to attend to
this promptly. Hotels also have pla-
cards warning guests that police will
hold them responsible if a light shows
from their window.
Buses Operate as Usual.
All London does not take to cover
when an air raid is on. During re-
cent raid, when bombs were being
dropped and bits of shrapnel fell full
sumeIy, the auto BUSES, with their
woman conductors, operated as usual.
And there were passengers. British
ers do not regard the air raids with
fear. People IN the street get under
cover, If 1t is handy, so as not to be
hit BY falling shrapnel. But they do
not dash madly to shelter or push or
jam their way into safety in the
underground railway stations. The
subway trains are operated as usual.
Only the foreign element. largely en-
ployed in munition factories, has be-
come frightened. Many of these have
moved into safety zones.
AS an instance of air-raid boredom
a British officer on leave, was on his
way to his hotel room when the
warning to take cover was sounded.
"What are Won going to dor he was
asked. "Do?" he echoed. "HeIl Tn

AIR RAIDS ONLY

going to bedw During the same raid
the musicians In hotel which fronts
the Thames and is well known In
America played on as usual and the
cafe crowd did not know there was
raid until the "all clear" was sound
ed.
Club Men Talk Calmly.
But the booming Of heavy guns in
and around the city generally reaches
most ears. A crowd Of men sat In a
smoking room at one club, with a glass
roof above, and talked Of one thing and
another during the raid. Seeking shell
ter In subway would appear as inn
possible to them as going down Broad
way barefooted. Only very small
proportion of London can be accommo-
dated in the subways. The cr0wding
Of public buildings during raids has
been discouraged, because 1t is realized
that very few Of them can withstand
the heavy bombs. Residents now are
officially advised to stay at home dur
ing raids and take their chances, which
are about one in 100000.
Despite more than 100 raids on Lon
don one has to hunt for any evidence OF
damage, although scores have been
killed and wounded. Houses which
have been demolished are in widely
scattered districts, London being a
city which is sprawled over consldera-
BILE territory with low buildings. Bust
ness houses, public structures and fac
tories show no evidence Of attack. But
houses which have been bombed are
so much mortar and dust, even houses
that were four stories high.
Spirit Of the Trenches Prevails.
The spirit Of the trenches, which
makes men face death bravely, Is the
spirit Of London during Hun attack.
Mothers are the most nervous, and
many babies HAYS been taken into the
cold night air, during raid, too thin
~ clad, each mother believing she was
doing the best thing by going to a sub
way. And these babies have died from
the exposure.
But there are many overbalancing
cases Of bravery. The bishop Of Lon,
don is authority for the story that one
girl, aged seven and one-half years,
who was alone during Gotha raid.
aroused her four younger brothers and
sisters, brought them downstairs,
placed them about a table and was
reading a Bible when her mother, a
widow employed as a tram conduc.
tress, returned In panic, fearing for
her little ones.

FRUIT FLIES SPREAD

Half Of Insect Pests Could Have
Been Kept Out Of Country
by Quarantine.
FRUIT FLIES ARE BEAUTIFUL
immense Losses Caused Annually 60
Fruits and Vegetables Of United
States Could BE Prevented
Precautions Being Taken.

More than half of the insect pests
that annually cause immense losses
in fruits and vegetables Of the United
States could have been kept out Of
this country by thorough quarantine
against them, according to officials Of
the United States department Of agri-
culture. To guard against more in
furious insects being brought In from
other countries is the object of the
federal plant quarantine act of 1912
which, with the development of knowl-
edge Of insects throughout the world,
has resulted In the bars being put up
wherever the pests are likely to enter.
Among the insects Of other lands
that have not yet become established
In this country are the serious pests
known popularity as fruit flies. They
resemble ordinary house flies but are
far more beautiful, inasmuch as their
wings are prettily spotted and band
ed and their bodies are usually more
brightly colored. They are like house
flies also in that they lay small, white
eggs that hatch into whitish maggots.
However, the maggots do not develop
In refuse or decaying matter as do
those of the house fly, but they feed
upon the living tissues of fruits, nuts
and vegetables. Eggs are laid just
under the skin Of the host plant or
fruit and these hatch into the mag
gots which burrow In all directions
through the pulp. AS the maggots
tunnel about they cause decays to
develop and these rotting areas often
produce greater injury than the mag
gots themselves,
Where Danger Lies.
Increasing Imports from the coun-
tries where fruit flies now abound, ex-
tension Of trade to remote corners
of the earth, increasing density of
population In the warmer portions Of
this country, are making greater each
year the danger that fruit flies may
become firmly established In the Unit
ed States
TO intercept and destroy fruit flies
as well as other pests the federal
horticultural board Of the department
of agriculture, charged with the en-
forcement Of the plant quarantine act,
prohibits the entry Of all horticultural
products likely to carry insect pests
unless they have been rendered free
from danger as pest carriers, either
by federal inspection or BY treatment
BY approved methods under federal SUI
pervfsion.
The department also has estab-
llshed in the Hawaiian islands a sys-
tenn Of inspection that is heartily sup
ported by fruit growers and transpor-
tation companies, whereby all planta-
tons and packing houses from which
fruit is shipped are kept from becom-
Ing sources Of fruit-fy dissemination.
