DAY OF SPLENDOR CHARMS L0ND0NERS.
ConVeninS of Parliament Accom-
 panied by Brilliant Display

By Ihs Associated Press.
 London, Jan. 15.--The, probability of labor governments early access sion to power in no way dulled today the ancient splendor and pageantry which for centuries have been asso- ciated with the opening of the Brit ish parliament.
 The Royal Party.
 Just before noon the royal coach. a gorgeous equipage of dull gold and shining glass that rocks back and forth on its great leather thongs after the manner of old American stage coaches, rolled behind the giant bay horses along the troop lined route from Buckingham palace to Wess- minister carrying the. king and queen. Robed in ermine, their majesties con- tinually bowed from side to side in response to the cheers of the thou sands who trooped behind the guards.
 Five other state landaus in which rode the high officers of Britain pre- ceded the sovereigns.
 For an hour previous to the pass ing of the royal procession crowds of commoners from the fashionable west end and from the east end, which is eminently unfashionable but which nevertheless has been made very happy by the successes Of it's laborite candidates, iostled each oth- CT and cheered everyone who passed in a horse-drawn conyeyance: for horses rather than automobiles are signs of greatness when parliament opens.
 Cheers For Laborites.
 Because of the unusual interest in the political situation the crowds out side and inside the parliament build ings were greater than is usual on such occasions. Everywhere the la borite supporters were in evidence, and whenever a laborite M. P. scoot- ed through the throng trying to make his way to the gates or the parlia- ment enclosure he was accorded pro- longed cheers.
 The eyes of the empire are on these commoners of labor, but for a brief period just before noon today all interest was centered in the house of lords where the peers, peeresses and all commoners who cared to, or who could be crowded into the gallery provided for them, heard King George read his speech, which, although symbolic Of the ancient power, is merely Il message prepared by the ministers and handed to his majesty after he mounts the throne.
 Prince Goes Alone.
 The Prince Of Wales went to West ! in separate procession. 1 He rode in state landau from York . House and SO timed his arrival that ! he reached the house Of lords in time I to receive his royal parents when they stepped from their coach. His pro- l gross also was marked with cordial | cheers: and there were especially af- 1 fcctionate greetings from numerous women onlookers for whom the 1 princes appearance is always the . signal for an exchange Of opinion as | to whom the prince will marry. and when,

Nature

The bedbug belongs to the order
Of insects called hemiptera, and IS
akin to squash bugs. The bedbug
has piercing and sucking mouth
almost like a beak. For his food,
he naturally chooses human blood.
Some writer's declare that these
bugs have been kept alive and ac-
tive in boxes or walls, without food
from six months to a year This in
dicates their being able to exist in
unoccupied houses for months at a
time. Experiments have shown
that these insects will attack mice,
cats. dogs. rabbits and other ami
mails. Another similar pest is to be
found in pigeon houses and still an
other sort in English martin nests.
The common bedbug does attack
poultry and breed in their houses.

WISH to enter a. strong pro-
| test, through the columns Of
- your paper, against the pro-
posed parade of pets by Indianapo-
lis children on May "a. I consider
Pit the most senseless and dangerous
affair Of its kind ever proposed in
this city. Dogs are the natural
enemies Of cats, especially strange
ones. and are certain to attack them
in such an affair. The larger dogs
viii attack the smaller ones and will
probably MAIN or kill many Of
hem And what chance would such
a helpless creature as a lamb have
with absolutely no means of de
Tense?
The danger would be doubled by
the intense excitement that viii be
caused oy the strange and unusual
surroundings.
The first instinct of a child IS to
protect its pet when danger
threatens, and it is almost certain
that many of the city's children will
be injured, sight destroyed. or per
haps even killed if a melee should
start. Those familiar with the ways
Of animals, know that they are I'M
comfortable when excited and it is
certain that the children will not be
able to handle their pets under
such circumstances. for it would be
an impossible task for grown-ups.
The children VIII be in as much
danger as their pets, and many of
the animals viii be lost in the con
fusion.
1t is astonishing that the Humane
Society with their supposed knowl-
edge of the ways of animals would
give their approval to such a reck-
less and dangerous proceeding. and
it is the duty of Mayor Shank TO
forbid it, and the duty of the par
ents and pet owners to withdraw
all entries.
Our domestic animals are pets to
US. but they are not to each other,
and it is beyond our power to direct
or control their natures.
