WASHINGTON. D. G., May 2s.-.
npo1 No. 10, 1T year locusts," thu
periodical cicadas are coming out.
hee1perts at the Department Of Ag-
ricuitIre say that they began emery.
ing last Wednesday night, and that the
crgest eJiierEcnce took place the fol.
wing night. West Virginia orchard.
Nsts have been duly warned and It Is
presumed here that they were pre-.
pared to cope with the insect visitors.
The period during which the cir
cadas do damage to trees by splitting
the branches to deposit eggs will not
begin Tor ten days or so, say the en-
tomologists. Within that period, it
VIII be easily possible for the indi-
vidual orchardist or farmer to deter
,,fDine whether or not the insects arc
present In sufficient numbers to make
protective measures necessary. The
ione sure means OF protecting young
trees, the entomologists say, is to
4placc 2 bag over each tree Sprays
Hahd similar measures have not been
found particularly effective.
The entomologicts of the Depart
1nent Of Agriculture are undertaking
q series Of cicada studies in connec.
ton with this emergence to determine
some points not fully investigated
heretofore. Additional experiments
will be made with sprays. A great
deal Of additional illustrative material
win be gathered, particularly photo
graphs Of the activities Of the insects
during the night. A series OF night
studies will be made, also, to deter
mine Just when and under what con-
ditions the insects emerge from the
ground.
West Virginia is proud of having
an avenue in the Nations Capital
bearing her name" Representative
Stuart F. Reed, member of the
House District committee told the Dis
trict Commissioners at public hear
ing on project to locate q garbage
crematory on West Virginia avenue"
and might resent the adoption of this
proposal" That was an entirely new
angle to the District commissioners in
a heated local controversy. The West
Virginia avenuers were out in force
and not at all backward in voicing
their objection to having garbage
burning plant as next door neighbor.
They had a strong supporter in the
person OF Representative Reed.

Late that night she repaired to the

and three slices of pie.

POINT HE HAD OVERLOOKED
Grouchy Man Was Too Eager to Regis

What Time 1t Was.

A horse hitched to wagon fell
across the car tracks in front of
government building in the national
capital.
In about two minutes the driver, as
buckled lot of harness and the horse
was up and on his way. And that
was all there was to it except that
When q car waited for the track to
be cleared an elderly man person, who
looked as if he considered the world
big mistake, said to a man beside
him:
Cast your eyes at the windows of
that office, sir; every one alive with
men and women; if the clerks of a
department will leave their desks and
fritter away the governments time
over trifling sight like this, what, sir,
1 ask, must be tire state of our ma
tiOnal conscience?'
The man next had cast up an eye
per request, and chuckled with the
heartiness of one who sleeps well,
eats three solid meals a day, and
treats his wife like perfect lady.
"Say, friend, you've got it all balled
up. You are so busy looking at the,
windows that you overlook the clocks.
Noon means lunch time"
And the national conscience was
indicated.
