islands of Japan, as well as to Korea
and Manchuria. During the earth
quake which devastated Yokohoma
this laboratory was wrecked, but the
records and equipment were saved.
The japanese beetle occurs through
out Japan. but is not an objectionable
pest there. Uncle Sans representa-
tives have discovered ten species of
beetle parasites and have shipped
large numbers of several of them to
America.
One of these hopeful parasites,
which has been adopted by American
farmers as a policeman Cor, rather
policewoman), is a small fly that lays
its eggs on the japanese beetle. The
maggots that hatch from these eggs
subsequently bore into the beetles
and destroy them.
More than 296,OoO of the Japanese
beetles infested with these parasites
have been collected by Messrs. C1au-
sen and King and sent to New Jer-
~ey. where the parasites have been
liberated, and it is hoped that they
. will do effective work in controlling
Japanese beetle depredations.
Large numbers of parasitic wasps
that prey on the Japanese beetles
have also been imported into America
as result of the tireless activities
of these two American entomologists,
who have braved many foreign dan
and research.

uaunts and habits of each variety of
parasites must be thoroughly scru-
tinized. Even though 1t is often pos
.,ible to export large numbers of them
TO a foreign country, it frequently be-
comes an insurmountable problem to
get them to multiply in large num-
bers in short periods.
Certain parasites can be shipped
only during certain stages of their
existence. 1t is difficult to collect
large numbers of them for overseas

period. 1t may be that by the time
the important plant policemen arrive

they are introduced to destroy have
passed the critical era when they are
susceptible each year TO such controls.
Sometimes it is necessary to ship
the foreign parasites to America in
cold storage. Great care has to be
exercised to see that among these
natural enemies of our important
plant pests no other cases of infec-
ton or disease contamination are
fought to our shores. These activi-

|GRANCEOPPOSES
DAYLIGHT TIME

The Pennsylvania State Grange,
through its secretary, Fred. Brenck-
man, of Harrisburg, has filed with
w. Freeland Kendrick, mayor of
Philadelphia, and William A. Magee,
mayor of Pittsburgh, a protest
against the adoption of daylight saw
ing time, as is planned by those two
cities and other municipalities fol-
lowing their lead, beginning Sunday,
April 81.
The Grange sets forth in its pro-
test that the proposed action is
clearly in violation of the statute
of 1887, which provides that east
ern standard time shall be the sole
and uniform legal standard of time
throughout this commonwealth"
The Grange reviews the history
of the legislative battles on daylight
saving that have been waged at
Harrisburg during the past several
years, calling particular attention
to the amendment of the Act of 1887
which was enacted by the last legis
lature. This amendment, sponsored
by Senator Derrick of Bedford
County, reads as follows:
No county, city, borough, town,
township, or other municipal sub
division of the Commonwealth shall
by ordinance, resolution or rule,
adopt a different standard of time
for any year, or any portion of the
year, than that herein provided; and
all ordinances, resolutions, and rules
heretofore adopted, contrary to this
provso, are declared to be void and
of no effect"
Continuing, the Grange communi-
cation reads:
"The arguments for and against
daylight saving have so frequently
been aired during the past few years
that it would be both profitless and
wearisome to repeat them. The legis-
lature heard these arguments, APP
praised them at what they were
worth, and then decreed that we
should have standard time in all
parts of the State the year round
There can be no installing the legis-
lative intent in this matter,
"Thc question now is, shall the
law of the State be upheld and
obeyed, or shall the minor subdi-
visions of the Commonwealth be per-
mitted to defy the central authority
and nullify the law of the State at
will ? How can the constituted
authorities of our municipalities ex-
pect the people to respect and obey
the ordinances which they enact, if
the municipal authorities openly and
brazenly nullify the laws of the
State ?"
The trouble with Pennsylvania
standard time law appears to be
that it provides no penalties for vio-
lations. But the Grange stoutly
contends that this does not justify
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh or any
other municipality in deliberately
evading or violating the law.

Superstitions
By H IRDtNG KING
FAILING OUT OF BED

tn HAT IL II child does not fall out of
l. bed before it Is six months old it
will never be bright and successful
person, but will be FOOLS a com.
mon and widespread superstition. APP
parently the superstition is a survival
from the curious custom of simulated
rebirth practiced by the aucients and
found today among some savage tribes.
Also 1t fingers today In some remote
parts of Europe, Among the Greeks
the ceremony was practiced rs means
OF adoption and any Greek who was
supposed to be dead and who turned
up alive had to undergo it before he
could again be reck0ned as among liv-
ing men. AS II ceremony of adoption
Ii prevailed among the harbarlans as
well as among the Greeks and such is
the use made of 1t today in certain
European regions.
But there are indications that the
ceremony was also In nature of an
inltlatory rite and us such it survives
today among certain African tribes
where. until young child has under,
gone this simulated rehirth he-or she
lis not considered as being really
capable of taking part as member of
the tribe. or of being initiated into
certain tribal mysteries \ study of
the ritual of these various ceremonies
Of simulated rehlrth shows parts
which may be considered analogous to
child falling out Of bed. With re
gard to the supposed dead Greek and
with regard TO adoption the reason for
the simulated rebirth is easy to see.
But Just why the African child should
be incapable of full development as a
member of the tribe until he has under
gone the rebirth ceremony, or the New
England child should not be expected
to amount to much unless he falls out
of bed early in the game-assumin
that we are right in regarding the lat
ter superstition as rebirth survival

posed, through sympathetic magic, TO
