results have justified the rapidly in
creasing acreage.
The United States must not only in
crease sugar production for domestic
needs, but must ship an increased
quantity to the allies. Every effort
should be made this year to stimulate
production of substitutes for sugar. In
localities where sweet clover is grow
ing abundantly, city, county, and rail-
way officials are asked to cooperate
with beekeepers and see that all we'll
known nectar-producing plants, and es-
pecially sweet clover, are not cut until
after the blooming period. This plan
was practiced in at least one locality
last year with gratifying results, and
it is hoped that all sweet clover grow
ing within mile of colonies of bees
will be permitted to stand until after
the blooming period this year.
Sweet clover not only produces an
abundant flow of nectar over a long
period but does not begin to bloom un-
til the white clover and alsike clover
nectar flowing is nearly over, thus
supplying an abundance of nectar
when few nectar-producing plants are
in bloom. Owners of bees are advised
to make every effort to bring the i'm
portance of sweet clover to the atten-
ton of officials in charge of moving
plants in vacant lots; along roadsides,
and along the rights-of-way of rail-
ways, and to endeavor to have the
moving of such places where sweet
clover is growing delayed until the
Towering period is past. BY hearty CO.
operation to this end, the department
says, the production of honey can be
considerably increased this year.

EAGLE ALWAYS AN EMBLEM
From NEUROLOGICAL Times the Monarch
of the Air Has Been Chosen as
Representative of Power.

In mythology the eagle usually rep
resents the sun. The great mythical
eagle of India, the Garuda, is the
bearer of the god Vishnu, victorious
by his brightness over all demons. In
Scandinavian mythology the eagle Is
gloomy figure, assumed by demons OF
darkness or by Odin himself, con-
cealed in the gloomy night or in wind
swept clouds. The storm giant Hras-
weigr sits in the form Of an eagle at
the extremity of heaven and blows
blasts over all people and on the great
tree Yggdrasil sits an eagle observing
everything that happens. When Zeus
was preparing for his struggle with
the Titans the eagle brought him a
thunderbolt, whereupon the god took
the bird for his emblem. 1t naturally
became the emblem Of nations after
It's long use in mythology. Ptolemy
Softer made it the emblem Of the Egyp-
tian kingdom. In the Roman story
the eagle was the herald to Tarquinus
Of his royal power, and 1t was one of
the most important insignia of the re-
public, and was also assumed by the
emperors, and adopted into medieval
heraldry after the time Of Charlie
magne.

This is a "1ocust year." and the
usual popular fear and misapprehen-
sion attend.
People in that large part of the
United States over which the periodi
cal cicada will appear are disposed,
as always, to apprehend greater dam
age than will occur-many times
greater Of the remainder of the
United States, large sections are under
another misapprehension, which is that
the insect about to appear is the real
locust that sometimes comes in dev-
astating hordes, sweeping ac Jss
large sections of country and devour-
ing every green thing. The latter mis-
apprehension is, perhaps, the more
widespread and disQuieting, according
to entomologists of the United States
department of agriculture. People who
have had experience with the real To-
Gust and the ruin it works never forget,
and the word locust" even though
it be a misnomer, is likely to be a
signal for dread.
Now, the periodical cicada, COM
monty called the 17-year locust-the
insect that. will appear in 81 states
this Spring-iS not a locust at all. 1t
is a cicada, member of the family of
cicadidae and akin to the dogday
cicada, harvest fly, or dry-weather fly.
The real locuSt-the devastating kind
is grasshOpper.
The periodical cicada, miscalled 10
Gust, is strictly an American insect.
The real locust, commonly called grass
hopper, occurs in many parts of the
world and has had it's place in history
for thousands of years. There are
many species. The schistOcerca pere-
grina is the one that plagued the Egyp-
tians and probably the one on which
John the Baptist fed. The one that
has sometimes ravaged the great plains
and other sections of the United States
is the melanoplus spretus, related
species.
Have Little in Common.
The real locust or grasshopper and
the so-called locust or periodical cicada
have very little in communicating

numbers and both occasionally have
been used as human food, the former
mostly by certain peoples of the near
East and the latter by the American
Indians.
The real locust is an indiscriminate
eater, grain fields, corn fields, mead
ows, pastures, weed patches
thing falls before him. The periodical
cicada or so-called locust is dainty al
most beyond belief. 1t was long be-
lieved THAT this insect in the adult
stage took no nourishment at all. On
rare occasions it had been observed
with its beak apparently thrust into
twigs, but it was not until II years
ago, the last previous appearance of
the large brood that comes out this
year, that it was definitely determined
that this belief was erroneous. The
"17-year locust" does eat while in the
adult stage, but its diet is confined to

Now enters a rival of the tailored
dress and the tailored suit, by way of
making a pleasant variety in the all
day garb of the busy woman of af-
fairs. This rival is very chic and very
new and is bound to have many fol-
lowers. 1t is the "all-day Dress"
sturdy enough to stand up to the tests
of endurance that make the tailored
dress an essential in the wardrobe and
smart enough to fit in with almost any
background which the days rounds
may provide for it. There is chance
for the exercise of ones individuality
in selecting or designing the all-day
dress it is an affair of individual
taste and is successful in the proper
tion in which it is tasteful and orig
inal. Here is something each one may
think out for herself.
The chic model shown in the picture
appears to have a cloth skirt which Is
plain except for a border of cOrdings
at the bottom. Ten rows of this cord
ing are set in with tailored precision
and the skirt is cut to slope in little
toward the hem. Over it there is
jacket of light weight satin, which
would be effective in other silks, as

1t is glorious summer in millinery
showrooms. Garden and field flowers
make wide-brimmed, graceful hats
radiant with color and headwear more
joyous than it has been for many
year. For a long time flowers were
all but baniShed as decoration for
hats-.a peevish-minded public would
not have them. A conviction grew and
became settled that there lovely trim
miGgS would not return; yet, Of all
things, flowers are the most logical
crown for beautiful heads. When a
season of real rejoicing arrived, along
with victory, they sprang into bloom.
The beloved rose and violet and Ill the
friendly little flowers and fruits are
restored to favor and are fairly frOlick-
ing all over the picturesque millinery
of midsummer. If flowers happen to
be not represented, then ribbons that
reflect their beautiful colors and sur
face take the place of the new hats.
There are four hats for the heart of
summer shown in the group above. At
the top a broad-brimmed shape is
covered with crepe georgette in
white; this beautiful fabric, which
seems akin to flowers, makes perfect
background for the clusters of small
grapes that Chamber about the crown.

CHAPTER XIV.

When he slowly grew conscious it
was with the glad realization that he
had found her. He felt her hands,
supple and warm, binding a bandage
round his arm. He opened his eyes to
see her face bent over his. And it was
dawn.
Vague cries rang In his ears, distant
cries, blending, surging, swelling and
dying down, but never ceasing. The
rattle of small-arms was continuous,
and punctuated by the loud timbre of
guns.
He was lying amid heap Of debris
that had been the village Jail. Not far
away he saw the Colonel sitting with
eyes closed, propped up against the
fragments Of wall, a blood-stained
bandage round his head.
20 thank Godl" cried Eleanor.
you have been unconscious so long,
Captain Markl And the Colonel is
badly hurt. I saw the Red Cross wag-
on pass and cried, but they could not
hear me-"
All round them the guns were boom
ing, all round them they saw khaki
clad Americans swarming over the
fields, and yet the village seemed de-
serted. They were alone in a little
oasis Of calm amid the tumult.
"What are we to do?" cried the girl.
"Can you walk? Try to stand on your
feet. Let me help you. We must get
the Colonel somewhere"
The question on Marks lips died
away as there came the howl of a
heavy shell, followed by stunning i'm
pact. A column of broken bricks spout
ed into the air at the end of the street,
dissolving into cloud of dust. An in
terval, and again there came a missile
from the monster gun. A house in the
next street went down like cardboard.
1t was the threatened attack on the
American lines. The enemy was in
force somewhere across the fields, the
reserves were rushing up to repel them.
Mark staggered to his feet and found
that he could stand. His arm ached
under the bandage, but it was not
broken. Probably a splinter had struck
him. He made his way toward the
Colonel, who eyed him vacantiy as he
approached.
"Take Eleanor to safety and leave
me, Mark" he said, in choking voice.
"I'll take you both, sir. This can't
last long. Our men will be in the viii
lage in a few minutes. Or an ambu-
lance will pass"
Mark put his hands beneath the Colo
nel's arms and tried to lift him.
As the Colonel tried to stand he col
lapsed forward in Marks arms. He
looked at Mark piteously.
"Take her and leave me-" he whis-
pered. "And listen to me, Mark. She
cares for you. All will come right, if
I can keep my worthless carcass alive
until I've seen the General. But !
never counted on being done up like
this"
There were tears in the old mans
eyes. "Forgive me, my boy" he NUT
tered, and fell into unconsciousness.
Mark set him down against the wall
again. 1t was impossible to move him,
oven with Eleanor's help.
Mark looked at Eleanor. tits safest
here" he said. 1.-THE village will be
occupied soon. Help will come"
He broke off abruptly as another of

ing the brick fragments flying in all di-
rections. OF sudden it had occurred

the juices of plants, sucked out in very
small quantities and without causing
appreciable injury to plants.
+ SO far as periodicity of outbreaks Is
concerned, the real locust or grass
hopper is law unto itself. The hordes
may appear any years or not at all.
Tie hordes of the "17-year locust" or
periodical cicada appear with a regu-
larity that would almost put to shame
a government clock. In spite of their
extremely slow development under
ground, the multiplied millions of in
dividuals reach maturity and emerge
almost at the same moment and eX-
actly II years from the date of the
previous appearance-that is, if they
are of the 17-year race. There is 13-
year race of the periodical cicada. But
it is just as regular, just as exactly on
schedule, as the other one.
Real Locust Nomad.
The real locust is sort of nomadic
militant. Its hordes, like those of Atil-
Ia the Hun or of Genghis Khan, sweep
hither and yon, always on the move,
destroying as they go. The so-called
17-year locust or cicada is a home
body. Stevenson's lovable character,
"Will O. the MILL" did not stick so
closely to his birthplace as does the
periodical cicada. Literally, he ab1des
always under his own vine and fig
tree" The tree from which any in
.dividual cicada dropped as a newly
Matched larva II years ago is the ex-
act tree under which he will emerge
this spring, up which he will most
likely crawl to cast his pupal skin, and
in which he will meet his mate and
pass his days of decrepitude, and from
which, in few weeks, his dead body
will fall, almost upon the spot where
he-as a larva-fell II years before
and burrowed into the ground. Where
the periodical cicada came into exist
ence, there he spends his days and
dies.
Injury by Insects.
Every crop suffers from the ravages
of the real locust. Only trees suffer
at all from the 17-year locust, and
only very young fruit and ornamental
trees are likely to be severely injured.
Methods of preventing or minimizing
this loss have been worked out and
published by the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The insect itself can accomplish
comparatively little damage, but fear
of the insect may accomplish great
deal, particularly if it is based upon
a confusion of the cicada-locust with
the grasshopper-locust. Men. believing
that the grasshop0ers are to eat up
their crops this spring. might refrain
from planting certain things. 1t is
important therefore, that the confu-
sion be cleared up, that it be definitely
understood by everybody that "the IT.
year locust in 1919' means the periodi-
cal cicada and not hordes Of grass
hoppers. +

They are in several colors ranging be-

This is an adorable hat and suited to

Very wide satin ribbon in rose color Is
draped about the brim and crown in

1t would be a bleak midsummer in
the millinery world if there were no

the head of the summer girl. This
summer will boast many of them. At
the left of the group above there is a
hat having a crown of milan straw
and brim of lace braid. Its edge
wire is covered with velvet. There
is sash of black ribbon about the
crown and a glorious rose is posed

Sweet Glover Is Recognized as
Valuable Honey Plant.

Asked to Cooperate.

prepared by the United States Depart

Let the sweet clover grow this year
in vacant lots along roadsides and
along railway rights-of-way until after
the blooming season. Thus provide
more nectar for the honey bees and
eventually more substitutes for sugar.
Sweet clover, recognized by beekeep-
ers for many years as valuable honey
plant, has been considered weed in
many places. City, county, and rail-
way authorities as well as farmers
have cut the plants before the bloom
ing season, thus preventing them from
maturing seed.
1t is admitted that sweet clover will
make a vigorous growth if unmolested,
many of the plants reaching height
of 6 feet, but it Is not difficult to
eradicate, and, sweet clover recently
has become well known as valuable
forage plant. Thousands of acres in
some sections of the country are plant
ed annually to grow forage crops and
