liking to one Of the aviators and said
be was going to make him his chief
lieutenant but was going to kill the
other one.
Lost In the Big Bend.
Probably the most interesting Of all
experiences of lost aviators were those
of Lieut.. Alexander Pearson Jr.. trans
continental filler, who battled hunger
and thirst for week south of the Rio
Grande.
Pearson left Ell Paso about noon one
day in July, 1921. He was headed for
Kelly Field here, en- route to the At
lantic coast where he was to attempt a
a nonstop transcontinental flight. The
hours passed and Pearson did not show
up at Kelly Field. The next morning
telegraphic in ,ructions were sent to
all border stations asking il anything
had been seen of the lost flier. No one
had seen him.
Then began one of the greatest aerial
searches in the history of the Army Air
Service. For week 40 ships secured
the deserts of Southwest Texas. Then
one night Pearson rode into Sanderson
Texas, haggard, hungry, his clothing
torn and half dead from exposure on the
hot desert country in the day time and
from the chill in the night time.
Landed in Mexico.
As'his fellow officers gathered around
him in the mess hall OF the army station
at Sanderson between bites, Pearson
told his story.
He was flying toward San Antonio
when the motor began misfiring. The
ship was losing altitude and Pearson
began looking f place to land. HI

and then lay down to await night when
he intended to continue his journey.
After nightfall he started again and
walked all night. Along about O'Clock
in the morning, just before dawn,
sound came to his ears. he listened
intently and when it came again, he
recognized The chirp of frog. mat
meant water. Pearson hurried forward
and soon stood on the brink Of the Rio
Grande. 1t was flowing the wrong way
so Pearson knew that he had landed
in Mexico. He walked along the bank
and finally found an old abandoned
raft. He got in this and pushed out
into the center of the stream. Al
though his thirst was quenched, he was
raye1ously hungry. He floated down
the Rio Grande> for a day and night
ard on the morning OF the second DAY,
he saw ahead of him a goat herders
camp. Here he procured food and rest
Cd for A time and started inland under
the direction of the herder TO n ranch.
Al the ranch he got horse and rode
into Sanderson.
At the Mercy OF the Waves.
One of the incidences of the success,
ful transatlantic flight Of the three
navy seaplanes, the famous NC l, 8 and
1. was the loss for several days Of the
NC-S, flown by Lieut.. Com. John Tow
ers. The NC-1 was alsoVforced down in
the fog and gale that cauased the near
disaster to Towers, but the crew was
rescued by a passing vessel just before
the plane sank. Towers and his crew
worked for 80 hours to keep the plane
above water, while the sea was being
secured ly rescue ships. Drifting and
taxing over the surface, the crew was
finally able to make the Azores, and
how they accomplished this feat in the
teeth of raging gale is one OF the
epics Of naval aviation.
The disappearance of navy balloon
from Rockaway Station Long Island,
with n crew of three officers, Leuten-
ants Hinton. Kloor and Farrell, VINO
finally landed in a blizzard far north IN
Canada, near Hudson bay, in the winter
of two years ago, was among the most
spectacular adventures that have ever
befallen American aviators IN peace
time. After starting. from Rockaway
for a short flight, they disappeared ana
no efforts could locate them through a
search of weeks. They had little pro
vision for a long flight and their lives
were given up. Then came word that
they had landed in dense forest, had
wandered four days and finally arrived
Mt a distant trading post, far from rail
roads and even the telegraph. They
were returned to civilization by dog
sledge. but their adventure was almost
their last, for the exposure to the In
tense cold. lack of food and heavy snow
had about exhausted them when rescue
came, just as they were sinking from
weakness.

FAVORITE LAKE FOR BIRDS
SAVED TO MINNESOTA

Swan Lake, a valuable and unusual
body of water about 10000 acres m
area, located in Nicollet County,
Mimi, has been saved to the state
through the efforts of the state game
and fish commissioners, the Biologf-
cal Survey of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and land
owners and local conservationists OF
the region. A movement to lower the
level of the lake 4 feet, eventually
draining it entirely, was successfully
opposed and defeated at two hearings
after an examination Of the wild fowl
and food plant value Of the lake had
been made by three representatives
of the Biological Survey.
In deciding the case the district
court in Minnesota laid emphasis on
the great importance to the public
welfare Of such bodies Of water as
Swan Lake. It's favorable location,
its relatively shallow fresh water,

possible that it may spread to other
sections of the country if not checked.
In addition to the parasites which
have been discovered, there are other
enemies of the earwig. Toads eat the
larvae readily. Hens devour the
adults ravenously, but the earwigs
are so hidden during the day that
fowls can hardly be considered as an
important factor in controlling the
insect. Poisoned bats and sprays
furnish other means of control.

FILTERS FOR CIGAR BOXES
GIVE CEDAR ODOR TO CIGARS

Cigar boxes made of cedar have az
ways been regarded by manufacturers
as necessary, to produce the bes,
grade Of cigars, but the growing
shortage of this material and it's in
creasing cost has forced many OF
them to use substitutes which lack
the quality Of fragrance which makes
the cedar desirable. The problem
has been to find cheaper wood thar
could be used and so treated that Il
would give the cedar aroma to cigars
packed in it..
The United States Department or
Agriculture has been at work on this
problem, and has tried to add the
quality possessed by cedar to more
or less odorless woods such as pop
lar, tupelo gum, and redwood. Spec
tally treated paper inserts have been
used in boxes made of these WOODS
and manufacturers who have tried
them have made very favorable re-
ports. The work is not finished, but
there is every indication that the
method will prove practical. Nearly
all of those who have tried the inserts
report that the artificial aroma pro-
duces results similar to that of true
cedar wood boxes.

LOCATE TWO NEW PARASITES
TO FIGHT EUROPEAN EARWIG

One result of the recent European
trip of DR.. L. o. Howard, Chief OIL
the Bureau of Entomology Of the
United States Department of Agricui-
ture, was the discovery that there
exist in Europe two parasites of the
European earwig which is at present
great nuisance in the vicinity OF
Seattle, Wash; Portland, Greg; and
Newport, r. I. Arrangements wero
made by Doctor Howard to have the
bureaus laboratory at Hyeres,
France, study the parasites and pre-
pare shipment to this country at an
early date.
The European earwig in it's several
stages feeds on very tender green
plants and blossoms, and the stamens
and petals of various flowers. Mel
low garden soil, lawns with south
ern exposure, or similar places make
fertile breeding nd alternating
grounds for the carvings, which null
tiply rapidly, the female laying from
so to 80 shiny white eggs each sea-
son.
The adult earwig is rich reddish
brown, with the wing covers and legs
dull yellow brown, and the wings
developed. 1t is about
of an inch in length.
In late summer the adults gather in
large numbers in crevices or behind
vines for mating. At other times
during the day they hide in any Gre
vice, folds Of clothing, or even be-
hind a convenient leaf which offers |
protection. They may be found in |
arge numbers on porches, behind |
chair cushions, under rugs, and in |
odds Of awnings. The European ear
wig was first noticed at Newport IN
1911, at Seattle in 1915, and at Port-J
