SETS CHECK ON DESTRUCTION
Wonderful Ways by Which Mother
Nature Regulates All Things
Under Her Guidance

one OF natures greatest wonders is
the way IN which she sets a check on
destructive insects which would other
wise oyerwhelm vegetation. 1t Is no
exaggeration TO say that we owe the
famous Demerara sugar which comes
from British Guiana, TO the activities
of tiny insect parasite, no bigger
than period" in this column. The
great plague of Demerara sugar fields
Is the moth cane-borer, which Is so
destructive that it would soon ruin
the entire sugar crop If 1t had no en-
emies To destroy II. Fortunately. Il
little parasite called the trichogram-
ma exists In the cane fields in myriads /;
It is so small that IL can scarcely be
seen, but II is the only thing which can
stop the ravages of the cane borer,
Where the cane borer goes the tricho-
gramma follows, and as soon as the
cane horer lays its eggs the trlcho-
gramma follows, and as soon as the
cane borer lays its eggs the trich0-
gramma finds them out and destroys
them by laying It's own eggs inside
them In this way the trichogramma
sometimes accounts for rs per cent Of
the cane borers eggs, and the planters,
who are keenly alive to its value take
the greatest care when harvesting the
cane not to injure their tiny helpers,
The trichogramma also does very
good work in preserving the rice and
coconut crops Of the West Indies. and
for its size is probably the most use
ful creature In the world.

The One-Eyed Car.

Is THERE motorist who has not, some
i suburban road, beheld coming toward him
rapidly contraption with but single light, that
proved on the closeup to be ful-sized motor car?
Sometimes the light is the off side sometimes
the near. In the latter case, well and good. You
merely get the impression of motorcycle taking
Up an undue amount of the road. But when the
lonely illumination is on the starboard side, the
getty of evil luck must chortle at the mighty good
chan:c of sideswipe that will divest the
other of wheel two and fender.
The reason for the number of that dodge
about the streets with but single light is bit
uncertain. Admitting that lights will go bad
pectedly it seems extremely imprudent to leave the
one :ood light the right side To switch bulb
i but the work of minute two and means the
avoidance OF both danger and annoyance. The
whole problem is a bit reminiscent Of the battered
darkie in an A. E. F. hospital who explained: "Ah
woJ to ride between two motahcycle lights, but it
was an army truck" 1t is to be feared that the
folks who don't carry two lights may encounter the
same kind OF trouble 1t would be too bad for a
motorist to have to page the insurance company
and doctor because of the lack of thirty-cent
electric bulb.

Airpl,nes in Commerce.

CENERAL belief that airplane engines are so
VI delicate and Indispensable that they are
worn out after few trial trips is corrected by Will
lam Stout Detroit airplane builder and expert. The
present life OF an airplane engine for commercial
flying, he reports, Is from 500 hours up" And il
that 500 hours docs not much figure it out in
miles. AT 100 miles hour it means minimum
flying power of $4,000 miles. twice around the earth

there is no record Of any plane dropping into the

every day.
In this country planes hardly used, as yet,
except for carrying mail. In that, they actually
seem to have better record for dependability than
the railroads have. In the worst month last winter
a certain fast mail train from New York to Chi
cage, with hours leeway. missed connections
thirty-one times, thereby delaying Western mail
twenty-four hours, while the New York-Chicago
mail planes missed connections only three times.
And yet, builders say, it is impossible to get
Americans to invest money in the airplane industry.

Uncle Sam. Private enterprise in Europe IS tar

peccadilloes when placed beside those OF the

Our latest cause for pride, by negative COM

violence engaged in by seemingly sober hooligans

Human Wants Debt
OF War Paid to u. S.

That Europe should pay Its war
debt to the United States in full is
the opinion of DR.. George Wheeler
Human, lately president Of Marietta
College. In a recent article he says:
What stun and nonsense to say
We should be embarrassed and dam
ged by receiving an annual payment
of S400, 200. 900 or s50O.000.000 that
are due us, when every nation col
lects all the interest IL can lay hands
on, We seek to build up a merchant
marine at enormous cost in order
to increase our revenues $500. 100000
from ocean freights and thus equal
the maritime achievements of Eng
land. Does anyone fear the $780,
900. 900 year from the merchant
marine would unbalance or destroy
our national finances? OF course not
Then why should $3.50. 600, 900 year
from England, France and Italy dew
astate our economic life? The ques-
ton answers itself.
why is il undesirable that Amer
lea should require any payments at
all-principal or interest-on the Eu-
ropean debt? No real reason has
ever been given, except that the debt
ors prefer mot to pay their debts,
that the debt is burdensome, and
that Europe would have more affec-
ton for us II we made her gift
OF the so 200. 000. 900 plus the 81. 00O.-
O00, 900 interest already overdue. Why
cannot such reasons pass muster?
Because they are manufactured
for use in America only: because
they are not applied by the nations
of Europe AMONG themselves:
because. finally. of all International
debts ever contracted, this debt Of
European nations to the American
people is the most binding in honor
and honesty; because the money was
loaned to England. France and Italy
to save them from defeat at the
hands Of Germany, and because, IL
it had not been loaned. these three
nations today would be paying Ger
instead of collecting reparations from
Berlin and owing us only $4,000. eoo.-

I'm a word, it is desirable. Highly
desirable, that the European great
mowers that owe the United States
should give negotiable bonds for the
principal, pay the interest, and act
In general like honest men. rather
than like financial pirates or bank
rupt spectators. THAT Is a mild
statement.
Gas for the men in New York and
