Mamy insects Valuable
In Protecting CROPS

form an important article of food of
the aborigines in some countries.
There is no reason why civilized
persons should not experiment with
insects in various stages as a pos
sible source of food and means
of providing nourishment for sup
porting life.
A large proportion of insects are
concerned chiefly with the killing and
eating Of their fellow insects. These
may be divided into two important
groups; predators, which live by
hunting and preying upon other in
sects; and parasites, which live in
or on other insects, feeding upon the
body fluids of their victims, finally
causing their death.
Were it not for these cannibals,
which help to maintain natural bal.
ance by checking the abnormal In
crease of many obnoxious kinds, the
destruction of many of our crops
would be more continuous and COM
plete and certain species of insects
might become so plentiful that they
would overrun the earth in brief
time.

CAPE ALAVA

That the farthest west projection
of the continental portion of the Uni
ted States is Cape Alava, a rocky
point in Clallam County, Washing
ton, is one of the interesting points
brought out by Professor Edmond
Meany of the University of Wash
ington, writing on the origin of
Washington names in the Washing
ton Historical Quarterly"
Cape Alava was placed on the
early Spanish charts as "Punta de
Hijosa" and the adjacent indentation
was called ::Boca de Alava." The
British chart by Kellett in 1S47 called
it Port Alava and the northern pro-
lection is shown as Cape Flattery.
The one which American charts now
show as Cape Flattery being shown
as Cape Classet. Recent charts show
the larger point as Cape Alava and
nearby are shown Flattery rocks, in
dicating the former confusion.
Umatilla Reef, Professor Meany
says, derives it's name from the
fact that the steamship Umatilla was
driven on the reef in binding snow
storm on February 9, 1884, and was
given up as lost. The crew left, but
the first officer and two sailors re-
turned to the ship, set the head sails
and got her off the reef. She was
picked up and towed to Esquimalt.
Point Partridge, a cape on the
west central shore of WILDLY Island,
is long supposed to have derived it's
name from the number of grouse and
pheasants there. More recent re-
searches have shown that Captain
Vancouver's brother John had mar
ried into an English family of that
name, and the honor of the name was
intended for the family.
Cape Flattery, at the southern en-
trance of the Strait Of Juan de Fuca,
was named by Captain James Cook.
For Sunday, March 20. 177S, the fol-
lowing entry appears in his journal:
Between this island of rocks and
the northern extreme Of the land,
there appears to be small opening
which flattered us with the hope of
finding an harbour there. These
hopes lessened as we drew nearer;
and at last we had reason to think
that the opening was closed by low
land. On this account l called the
point of land to the north of it Cape
Flattery."
Point Defiance, in the northwestern
part Of Pierce County and now en-
braced in a park of the City of Ia
coma, was named by the Wilkes Elk
petition, 1841. 1t lies at boundary
between Admiralty Inlet and the
original Puget Sound. In 1849, Com
modore Wilkes published book,
Western America" in which is
found the following: This narrow
pass (The Narrows' seems as IL in
tended by nature to afford every
means for the defense of Puget
Sound the only entrance to

How many times have you been
sect? A lot of them are your good
friends and the American Nature AS
sociation suggests you investigate a
little the next time you feel the de-
sire to kill coming on.
Man must be ever alert and on the
offensive if he would preserve his
home and food stores, his crops, his
animals, and his forests from these
injurious and destructive pests
writes A. B. Champlain of the Penn.
sylvania Bureau of Plant Industry in
Nature Magazine. This struggle has
led most persons to look upon all in
sects as unmitigated pests and moth
ing else. The fast Is, the majority
of insects are beneficial in the won
derful scheme of nature, many kinds
serving to hold the destructive ones
in check.
Commercially valuable insects and
their products are used by many per
sons in various trades. Bee products
honey and beeswax--are priced In
every land. The honey bee and silk
worm moth rank first in usefulness,
and appear in earliest records.
Used In Industry
Shellac, used for many purposes, Is
originally a resinous substance Sc
creted by a scale insect which lives

climates. Cochineal, dyestuff of
bodies of female scale insects that
live on cacti.
Insects are used as jewelry and or
naments. Beetles with bright metallic
colors are made up into tie pins and
cuff links; snowy insects, especially
butterflies and moths, are used In
making ornaments such as lockets
and pendants, and are worn extern
sively. Butterfly serving trays are
decorative and useful and certain
kinds of birds, including domestic
fowls, insects are to be accounted as
being Of especial Importance.
Migratory locusts are eaten by the
inhabitants in parts of Africa, COM
monty called white ants, and are said
by the natives in certain places in
Africa and Australia to have a fine
flavor. In Mexico, the eggs OF
water bug are scraped from the reeds
along streams and made into cakes
and eaten. Caterpillars, and in one
instance the pupae OF moths, were
used as food by various tribes OF

Spouse to forestry programs and

where they have the most trees

Pocketbook Facts

The cost Of living is about three
hfths higher now than 1t was when
the war started in 1914, according to
the National Industrial Conference
Board. 1t figures on the basis of the
requirements for the average Ameri-
can wage-earner with five in fam
lily. In other words, 1t takes about
$1.60 to buy what cost $1.00 in 1914.
To counterfeit this situation, the av-
erage person should be getting an
income three-fifth higher than before
the war. Divide your income by 16
and multiply 1t by 10, and you'll
have your present buying power in
terms Of the 1914 dollar, for COM
