WILL YOU BELIEVE USf
THIS Is SOME BUG

Chester, Pa. Feb. ia new
kind of bug has been discovered
by l.. ID. q. Smith, of Norwood.
1t Is a brows bug with a rapa-
cious appetite for other bugs-any
kind, size and color no object.
Mr.. Smith recently conducted
tests which show that the new
bug will prove invaluable as de-
stroyer of mosquitoes and other
pests.
The brown bugs have, accord
ing TO Smith, the gentleness OF
the Coleoptera, the vitality of the
Crustacea. the contempt OF
blue-blood for the genus Cimex
and the good looks of the Lygus
Lineolaris." From which II can
Toe seen that they are some bugs.
Mr.. Smith is engaged in prop
agating the species. Whether he
can train them in platOons, with
leaders. and send them out for
an organized attack against OBJ
noxious bugs is a problem he IS
working on.
