.FR0THY MASSES
 REALLY INSECTS

New Haven, Nov. 2a.-Probaibly ev- cry one who has walked through meadows in early summer has noticed masses of froth on grass stems and wondered at them. Various fanciful names have been given them such as "snake-sptt' and ''frog-spit." A few possibly have examined the "'froth'' and found in it an insect. Few others than entomologists know just what species is responsible for it. The common notion that these insects are
 Professor Philip Garman. assistant entomologist of the Connecticut Az ricultural Experiment station. has made a study of this insect and is the first to discover and describe the egg stage.
 He found that the curious frothy balls are made by immature sucking insects of the family Cercopidae, com monly known as ''froghoppers." They are closely allied to leaf-hoppers. but their life story has not been told un- til now.
 The insect is found to do injury to graSs;> there is one brood each year; the eggs are laid late in the summer and fall in the sheath of grass stems two or three inches from the ground. She egg stage lasts from 2S1 to 233 days and they hatch late in May
 The spittle glands of the adults are indicated by yellow spots on the ab- domen. By taking in air and expell- ing it under a sticky substance, 8 froth is made which soon surrounds the insect. Moults take place within the froth until the hopper is able to fly. Tre froth protects the insect from parasitic enemie.

UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM FOR
 SWEDEN HARD

Stockholm, Nov. 23.-Chief among the taclSs confronting Sweden's sec- ond Socialist cabinet, which assumed d office in October, is that of solving the unemployment problem brought about by the general economic de- pression of the country which began last summer while the first Socialist cabinet was in power. It has been estimated there are about 120,000 per sons out of work in the kingdom.
 Leaders of the unemployed have al- ready announced intentions to press the government for action in favor of extension of government support and to urge with all their might substan- tial increase of the daily sum now al- lowed by law to each individual who has not steady employment.
 Premier Granting and his col leagues are also facing a difficult bud get question. Experts say that unless the new cabinet agrees to a general and radical reduction of salaries now being paid to state employees there will soon be a deficit which would be difficult to cover even by means of loans.
 Sweden's first Socialist cabinet took office in January, 1921, and continued in power until October last year, when 1t resigned.

 Absorb White Mans Customs
 When the white man came to this country the Indian was an untaned, uncivdlized savage. Gradually. as the the newly-discovered continent, result [tantly expanding throughout the country, the Indians were thrown in to constant contact with the new civ- and whites for many years. marked by terrible slaughter and bloodshed, this contact brought about a slow, but sure change in the life of the red
 will. the Indian inevitably absorbed
 the white mans civilization, his bad and good characteristics, until he be-
 came an established part in the ev- eryday life of the nation.
 Times have changed. Today the Indian is one of the least troublesome of all the various human elements that constitute the population of this progressed amazingly. From wild savage existence of several hundred years ago, when tribe fought tribe bands fought bands. dtssension ano conflict surged over the land, all i'm peIled by the impulses and desires oi

HARDING ON SEX POLITICS


 Des M1ines, Ia-, Nov. 23-A mes sage from President Harding, in which he said he did not believe in the or ganization of women in a particular group, 'any more than I believe in such an organization among any other classes,'' was read at the fifth region convention of the National League of Women Voters, in session here yester- day.
 q think it is very fine that the re- gently enfranchised women of Amer ica should continue their efforts for a better performance of the new duties which have come to them" said the Presidents message, which was read by Gov Kendall. Nothing could be more unfortunate than to give limit ed assent to the proposal of organ izing our citizenship into groups ac- cording to sex. I hope for the great est benefit from women's admission to the full privileges and obligations ot citizenship"

Arbuckle Likely
 To Take Stand
 In Own Defense


 We hope he does," was the com ment Of District Attorney Brady. 1T nave contended from the first that there were two persons who could explain what happened in room 1219 at the party. If Arbuckle won't no one else can.

 The defense on opening somewhat dfsarranged their witness schedule in order to repair with as much haste as possible damaging evidence given by. pr. E. o. Heinrichs, consulting criminologist, who in true Sherlock Holmes" style identified the hand print of woman, with the hand of man superimposed on the door of room 1919 as those of Virginia, Rappe and Roscoe Arbuckle.
 Mrs. Kate Brannan, a house maid at the St. Francis, was called to tell the jury that she thoroughly dusted the door in question with a cloth on the afternoon and evening after the party.
 The two upsets by the defense was the failure of getting into the testi- mony an alleged statement of Vir- gtnia Rappe the evening of the party, made in the presence of George Glen non, former Hotel house detective, and also failure to get into testimony a statement of Miss Hamilton trained nurse who attended Miss Rappe, as to her physical condition In both cases liie Sldle ODJeCteO ana won Judge Louderback's decision. The defense had counted heavily on Glennon's testimony as it is un- derstood they expected him to say that Virginia Rappe dissolved Ar buckle of blame. Miss Hamilton's statement was important because 1t | laid the basis for hypothesis of hypo- thetfcal questions to be asked noted medical experts who will testify later | for the defense.

(By International News Service)
 Washington, Nov. 23-The Amer can Indians are not a decadent race, but on the contrary, are a growing people, with promising future, ac- cordlng to the opinion of Cato Sells, Commissioner of Indian Affairs dur ing the Wilson Administration.
 The prevailing belief that the American Indians are steadily declin- Ing In number is described by the former commissioner as a "fallacy-" The misconception that the American Indians are in imminent danger of extinction is probably based upon the opinion that in pre-Colonial days the native population was much greater than at present. As a matter of fact, 1t has never been authendcally deter mined just how many Indians were in this country at the time of the coming of the white man, and the most generally-accepted figures are merely estinat tes.
 The Indian population at one time was apparently diminishing; at an- other time it was fixed; but 1t has never been decadent," Sells declares.
 Active imagination and adventurous spirit characterized the age in which America was discovered. It was an age of exaggeration, when information grew out of fancy as well as fact.
 Pioneers Legends
 The pioneers in this country, as they, learned of the vast expanse ot territory beyond their settlements on the Atlantic Coast, became imbued with the idea that Indians swarmed ? In countless hordes over the enormous stretches of forest and plain. Natur- ally, the legendary lore of an inn mense Indian population during colo nial days became the general belief ot succeeding generations and Is the pre- valent opinion today. But. according to Sells, neither exact knowledge nol reasonable deduction sustains this widely y-existent belief.
 The first Federal census of the In dian population, taken in 1859, was largely an estimate and Is suppos- ed to have included many Mexicanf and aliens residing in Indian coun- try at the time, in view of the fact that the census of ten years later

.PHILIaDELPHIA GOLD
 TO LORENz VISIT
His Teuton Nationality Makes Him Unwelcome Where He Was Feted 19 Years Ago.

Philadelphia, Nov. 23-A decided difference of opinion as whether to invite Dr. 'Adolph Lorenz. noted Aus trian surgeon, to this city again has arisen among Philadelphia physicians, pr. Lorenz's Teutonic origin is the chief bone of contention.
 The Medical Club of Philadelphia. the city's host ordinarily to distin- guished foreign visitors in the medt- cal profession, will have nothing to do with Dr. Lorenz," pr. Barton c. Hirst. President of the club, said yes- terday.
 Dr. Hirst's secretary said the next meeting of the club will not be held until January. It is not intended Dr. Lorenz shall be Q guest then. Nine guest of honor of the club. Sir Harold J. Stiles, Regius professor of surgery in Edinburgh University, was simi- larly honored month ago.
 From a canvas of medical men here today, it would seem if Dr. Lorenz revisits Philadelphia his na- tionality as an Austrian, or the events gotten.
 On the other hand, some doctors who received him on the occasion of his first visit to this city argued that prejudice because of nationality are unworthy of medical men. The significant remark that tthere l is no place in the world where poor children need free surgical treatment J. T. Hugh, a prominent orthopodist in this city. He says he is in this country to aid the poor children of America, but he IS not here at the in- vitation of medical societies. The man is a Teuton and I shall never again have anything to do with Teuton," said pr. w. w. Keen, who | was active In the reception to Dr Lrenz on his first visit here. Dr. Earnest La Place, also active ir receiving Dr. Lorenz at that time said: I do not know of plans to | entertain Dr. Lorenz here at present | and l do not care to know any"

A large crowd came out Satur-

played and exciting contest. All
the four games between these two

The game Saturday was mainly
a pitching duel between Daley and
Sutton in which the Lyndonville
man had all the best of it, striking
out 10 men and allowing but four
hits, and was really entitled to a
shut out as the only Barton run

Vile for nine straight innings af
