Discover First
 Blue Caterpillar

New York. Jan. 2S-(By the A. P.) Discovery of the first blue caterpillar known to biology has been reported to the American Association for the Advancement of Science by Dr. John H. Gerould, Professor of Zoology at Dartmouth College. The scientist was breeding butterflies in his fabora- tory in Hanover, N. H., when one day he found the blue stranger. Ordinar- fly caterpillars, feeding on plants, are green.
 An experiment caused the zoolo- giSt to conclude that blue caterpillarS existed all the time but that they had been eaten so promptly by sparrows that their presence never had become known.
 This experiment consisted in plac- ing outdoors clover plants bearing a large number of blue and green cater pillars. Soon the blue. plainly visible on the green leaves, had been eaten by the birds and the green, with their protective coloring remained.

Should a mother tell her daughter what every girl should know? We'll certainly we know that if the mother doesn't tell her somehow, sometime, someone else will And us- ually the one of the many who tell her will not understand the truth. Out of their natural curiosity about this sub ject has grown an unnatural curiosity because they have never found the subject treated naturally but always with secrecy.
 And as you call it 'fthe secrets of life" are the basis of all life. As soon as boys and girls begin to live to- gether the difference in their sex is felt by them and naturally affects their actions toward one another.
 But generations up to the pres ent have been brought up they don't understand anything about this differ ence from their parents. And as soon selves the very first thing they're usaully told is not to say anything to their mother about it. And if they should ask their mother they are put not be proven while some of the ex- plantations they get outside are back ed by proofs that they can see for themselves.
 So they find the mother in a lie about the biggest thing in life and
  should be. Naturally it becomes a closed subject in the home
 Then the mother knows least of all how the daughter thinks, feels or acts in such matters.
 If we believe that the natural work ings of the human body are pure then why should mothers not tell their daughters of such things and help them to understand. An argument often used against it is that it destroys their innocence. The knowledge of i'm purity is what destroys innocence so unless one feels that the things we have to tell them are impure that ar gument doesn't hold. Also a lie is inn pure. Usually they lie to us when they have something to be ashamed of so why shouldn't they suppose that we lie to them for the same reason. And why should they ever find us telling them a lie or evading their ques- -ions.
 The truth cannot be impure or inn m odest- If we build up a wall to hide the truth we SOW the seeds for all sorts of impurity and immodesty and why should a mother do such a thing with her daughterf
 Surely a mother can look into her daughters eyes and tell her the truth about life, try to make her feel what is pure and what is not.
 But we can't do it by making a girl feel conscious that she has a body of which Shem ust take care but never giving her to understand just what it is she must take care about or why it is that she should take care about it
 At least we all know that in the world today there is very very much

To begin with I think this is not a matter of what every girl only should know but what every boy and girl should know. They work out the problems of life together and usually being to the greatest problem-mar- riage altogether different ideas on that subject.
 All of life springs from marriage.
 How can anybody know to much about anything that pertains to mar riage?
 And as you call it "the secrets of life are the basis of all life. AS soon as boys and girls begin to live toSeth- er the differences in their sex are relt by them. That difference naturally affects their actions toward one an other. But as generations up to the present have been brought up they don't understand anything about this difference except what they find out In one way or another for themselves he very first thing that they usually ind out from their instructors is not 10 say anything to their mother about It. And if they should chance to ask any question in the home they are not answered or else given one Of the big geSt Shams that ever existed. It does n't take their own minds, long to see that in the mothers explanation of Things two and two doesn't make four It all while some explanations they get outside are backed up with proofs So they find the mother in a lie to them about the biggest thing in life. Naturally it becomes a closed subject Tor them as far as their parents are concerned. And I often wonder why He think 1t dreadful, that they should lie back to us about that very sub feet.
 If we are ashamed of the sex rela- ion if we don't consider marriage pure, then there is a reason why our eh ldren should not be told. But if we 10 consider marriage pure then cer- .ainly there is no reason why our .hildren sil ould not understand that purity from our own lips To under tand anything pure never destroy in AoCenCe an argument that so many olks use against telling the children.
 Every mother should most certain y wish to be closer to her daughter pn this thing than on anything else in he world. It is the thing in which she idedS us most and should never find sa wanting.
 gust recently I created a great ieal of feeling against myself in this aeighborhood because I told my chill Iren the truth instead of a lie.
 I think the sooner we understand tby we I mean parents and children) what is pure and impure in this mat Ter, what is modesty and what is i'm nodeSty the sooner will we be able to overcome the impurity and the inn nodesty.
 And surely Gods truth must be pure and modest And surely no true parent wants to be the first to put a lie between themselves and their children.
 By all means let every mother tell Ter daughter the truth about life

unhappiness that has grown directly from these secrets of life so why shouldn't we ourselves want to go into these secrets with our own daughters and help them with our love and un- derstanding to find happiness in a thing that without our help they group thou blindfo1ded and take any mum Der of chances on an unhappy ending.
 By all means let all mothers tell their daughters the things they should know from their own parents lips so that if they should find many different versions of those things as they live out in the world they'll have their own mothers that's as a helpful guide and that their may be some hope that they will bring such problems along with all others to their mothers for help.
