KILLING A FOOL BILL.

The Indiana Senate yesterday knocked the silly
Wright bonedry prohibition galley west This was
the dry bill to amend the statewide prohibition law.
One Of It's provisions would have enabled with
grudge against another to have en-
abling pestiferous constable. and all know what
constables in this region to into a house
and search it from cellar to garnet for whskey
The constable whether you hadn't drop of whiskey
IN the house could turn it upside down. He could go
into your wifes bedroom and throw all her lingerie
on the floor pretending to search for whiskey.
The most rabd and fanaca piece Of legislation
roduced in Indiana Assembly and almost revolution
airy in its tendencies. 1t really made mockery Of the
statewide prohibition and tended to discredit IL
1t was pernicious legislative suggestion and went
the way il deserved to go-in the waste basket

An the blood m the body goes thru the

the kidneys are very important In health

OF the blood most of the waste (poisonous)
substances and the blood then flows on
toward the heart thru the kidney vein.

pleasing news OF the meeting Of their
two sons. Sergeant Fred and Sergeant
Lawrence Keilnan in France. Both the
boys enlisted at the outbreak OF the
work and sailed for France early last
summer An extract from a letter by
Sergeant Lawrence Keiiman and one
from Sergeant Fred tells of the inter-
estinR. story Of their meeting over
there: Yesterday 1 was taking the

didn't say anything I kept on going.

LARGE WINGED 17-YEAR LOCUSTS ARE
DUE TO ARRIVE DURING LATTER PART
OF MAY; INSECTS NOT VERY-NJURIOU

Periodical cicada, commonly call
ed 17-year locusts, are due to visit
the northern and middle western
states, including Illinois, in May
and June OF this year.
A large winged insect is the To-
Gust, and although coming only at
l7-year periods. more than makes
up for its rare visits by the enor-
nous numbers in which it appears.
Contrary TO the general belief, The
bug is almost harmless. No injury
is done by its feeding. and it is only
its egg-laying habits that cause
any trouble.
When it appears in great drOYes,
however, its loud humming song is
a source of much annoyance. Com
ing near the end of May, the insect
lives but month, during which
time it lays its eggs, depositing
them III Sits or smoothly cut peck
est on twigs and branches OF trees.
No serious injury will result to old
trees, and if no pruning is done IN
the winter preceding, the insect
probably will find an abundance OF
useless twigs on which to deposit
its eggs. If the trees are young,
however, they are sometimes badly
injured, being stunted in growth
and rendered practically worthless.
Upon Matching, the twig upon
which the eggs have been laid falls
to the ground and the young il
sects begin burrowing beneath the
surface. Locusts in their under
ground state have been uncovered
as deep as six feet below the sur
face of the ground. Feeding on the
juices of various roots, the young
bug undergOes a 16-year process of
development, and in the 18th year
begins to work toward the sur
face. In the spring of this year it
energies, resembling in appearance
a beetle with wings barely notice
able. Soon after coming out of the
ground the insect sheds its outer
shell, and it's wings grow almost
overnight to their full size. The
insect then becomes active, and its
droning song is intense on warm,
hot days.
In the destruction of the locust
the English sparrow becomes use
full. These birds, although feed
ing for the most part on grain,
seem to possess an intense hatred
of the insect, and will pOunce upon
it and tear it to pieces with wanton
destructiveness. 1t has been noted
that near large cities entire broods
of cicada have been totally destroy
ed by English sparrows.
In this section the broOds OF 1902
and 1885 were not very great in
number, and caused but little an
noyance.
Old settlers recall. however, that
the brood of 1868 was especially
large, being one of the greatest in
size to visit this section.
Usually during the year just pre-
ceding the time the insects are due
to arrive, many are dug up in ex-
cavation work in the locality where
they are expected. AS far as can
be learned this has not been the
case this year, no one reporting the
discovery of the nearly mature bug
underground
Scientists who have made the
study of insects a speciality say
that there are % broods of cicada
which appear at different periods
throughout the United States. It
has been noted that in the more
southern states is to be found the

BROKEN TROLLEY
WIRE OCCASIONS
DELAY OF CARS

A broken trolley wire near
Thirty-third street and Fourteenth
avenue caused much inconvenience
to patrons of the Elm and Long
View street car lines at o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
In order that the break could be
repaired it was necessary to shut
off the power, cars on both circuits
being delayed about - minutes in
consequence.
Discomforts occasioned by the
accident was especially acute due
to the crowded condition of the
cars, especially those or the Elm
street line, unusually large num-
bers taking advantage of the
beauty of the day to go on outings.
The delay proved especially irk-
some and irritable to many resi-
dents of the bluff district who were
in need of quick conveyance. A
considerable number were of ne
cessity passed by when the cars
finally resumed operation In this
connection one incident in partic-
ular, worthy of a comic cartoon,
was noted
Two women hurried for a west
bound Elm street car near Forty
second street and Fourteenth ave-
nue.. All, just in time, the car was
coming lit was even then at Forty
fifth street. At Forty-fourth how
ever, it stopped and-did not start
1t was after 2, one of the women
glanced at her watch, they would
never get to Davenport in time for

utes passed. The women started,
with a despairing glance at the
stranded car, for Seventh avenue.
Precious minutes sped by. Sew

car. In desperation one of tho
women tagged a large automobile,
driven by an inoffensive, prepos-
sessing looking youth. Sure, he'd
take them over in hurry, he was
going that way himself. His fair
solicitors climbed into the tonneau
of the machine and settled back
comfortably with q sigh OF relief.
A block sped by. Bang! Brakes
set, the car ground to a stop. A
blowout. The ladies climbed out
and the driver looked under
the seat for the necessary
tools with which TO mend

ALIEN LANGUAGE
ALMANACS TOTAL
lis IN THE u. S.

1t Is a long way from the alma
nae to the front but both are max
ing the fight for new racial rela-
tionships throughout the world.
The almanacs printed in foreign
languages and distributed by the
thousands throughout America have
an authority of their own to our
foreign-born peoples. Next to the
bible they are the guide, philoso-
pher and friend of the alien. what
is printed in them affects his LIE
and thought in countless ways.
The Americanization division or
the bureau of education of the de-
partment of the interior has been
looking into the subject and,
through the cooperation of the for
eign-language press which issues
them, it finds that there are Ito
foreign Language almanacs pub
lished in this country. These vary
greatly in the subjects presented
but in most of them is always to be
found, aside from the usual stats
tics, calendars, etc, common to al
MANAGES, short stories and histories
dealing with conditions in the old
countries and which indirectly fan
the flames of the old nationalities
instead of the new flame of Ameri-
canism. 1t is true that in few in
dividual cases the almanacs con-
tain information about the United
States, but on the whole the larger
portion of them are given over to
other matter
The Americanization division Of
the bureau of education has sug-
gested in harmony with the chang
ing racial relationships of the world,
and especially Of our many races
here, that this year there be printed
more information about America
and their future homes.
