CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO.
Aug. 1.-Two alienists for the
State, of comparative distinction
and renown with those of the de-
tense, told Judge John r. Caverly
today that they examined Nathan
F. Leopold, jr., and Richard A.
Loeb soon after they confessed to
the murder of little Bobby Franks
and that they found absolutely
no evidence of mental disease" on
the part of either collegian.
And they further told Judge
Caverly that nothing which the
array of doctors employed by the
Leopold and Loeb families have
discovered in their two months
of X-raying and examining the
young killers, have changed their
opinion that both "Dicky" and
Babe" are sane young men, re-
sponsible under the law for one
of the most brutal crimes in
American criminology.

THE MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE

The Mexican Bean Beetle has been
known to cause serious injury to the
bean crop in the foothill region OF the
eastern slope for many years, but only
during the past four years has it made
it's appearance in the counties of Mont
rose and Delta on the western slope.
This insect is the only member Of the
highly beneficial lady bird family in
Colorado to feed upon foliage. Other
members OF the family are predatory
upon plant lice, scale insects, soft
bodied larvae and insect eggs.
The insect is known under several
common names such as, Spotted bean
beetle" bean beetle" bean lady
bird" bean bug" and Mexican bean
beetle"
While the adults have been found
to feed upon a number OF the legumes
they deposit eggs only upon the true
beans The kidney type Of bean such
as the common snap and shell beans
are the preferred food plant The up
right growing beans such as the Broad
or English Dwarf seem to be entirely
free from attack by the adults or
larvae.
The Mexican bean beetle spends the
winter as an adult in Information.
During the forepart of June the adults
appear in the fields and begin laying
eggs in a short while, the maximum
egg production occurring during July.
The eggs hatch in about seven days.
The larvae when newly Matched are
light yellow in color and not over one
sixteenth of an inch long Their
bodies are covered with rows Of stout
branched spines When mature the
larvae are three eighths Of an inch in
length and of a greenish yellow color.
The body is heaviest in the center and
tapers toward the ends which together
with the longer spines in the center
gives the larvae a bumped back ap-
pearance
The adult is a stout hard shelled"
beetle, oval in outline and about one
fourth of an inch in length. The newly
emerged adult Is Of a straw cream yell
low color with eight black spots Of
variable size on each wing cover. The
older adults may become an orange
with brown or bronze tinge.
The adults and larvae are respons.
ible for injury to the plants but by
far the greatest damage is done by the
larvae. The adults feed by clinging
to the under surface Of the leaves and
eating irregular holes in the leaves,
leaving some Of the main veins cross
ing the holes, but in many cases they
eat off only the lower epidermls. The
larvae at first feed in clusters but
later scatter about and feed singly.
The larvae also feed on the under sur
face Of the leaves. eating the lower
epidermis and the veins. often the
leaves are 80 badly eaten that only
whitlsh skeleton remains and in sc.
we're cases the pods will be irregular.
