Tiny Worm in Mexican Jumping Bean
Literally Lifts Self by Boot Straps

"A man may be unable to lift him
self by his boot straps, but a tiny
worm of q Latin American insect can
not only hoist itself without the aid
of hands or feet. but, as If to make
the trick more difficult, performs the
act In a house four times as big as
itself, carrying the house along. This
is the inside story of the celebrated
Mexican jumping bean, or 'broncho'
bean as it is known in our own South
west" says a bulletin from the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Geographic Society.
THE Mexican jumping bean is the
seed of any of the three or four men,
berS of a family of swamp trees, list
ed officially under the ponderous title
of euphorbiaceous plants, when infest-
ed by Il full grown larva of the small
gray toFtricid moth. When the plant
is in blossom the moth lays an egg in
one part Of the flower. That part of
the flower grows with the rest. but,
instead of becoming a pod for the seed
of the tree, ii turns into home for
the insect. The egg soon matches into
a worm, which occupied only about a
fifth of the pod or shell.
when the seed pods drop during
the Summer the husk splits into three
parts-two containing seed. The third
Is Wldt IS known as the jumping bean.
The latter is a triangular brown pod
about the size of a peanut kernel,
with two plain surfaces and one
curved surface.
"As soon as the pod falls from the
tree the worm or larva inside coils
up. then let's itself go suddenly, like
q catapult, giving a forward motion
10 the pod. Sometimes it rolls from
side TO side and sometimes moves
fairly consistently in one direction by
leaps and jumps.
Late in Winter the larva cuts a cir
cular door through the seed walls,

AUSTIN, Tex, August 22.-Claims
aggregating approximately S100, 900 900
have been filed with the United States
Mixed Claim Commission, by citizens
of Texas, for damages and losses grow
ing out of raids by MeXiCanS or In
dians during the period of 1865 to 1878,
according TO a letter just received by
Attorney General Dan Moody of
Texas from Henry w. Anderson of
Washington, agent for the commits
sion. In many instances the original
claimants are dead and there is no
knowledge as TO their heirs. In order
TO clear up the various cases infor-
Ination is desired as to the rightful
claimants. Particulars as to many of
the claims are also desired.
Many of the claims are founded on
losses sustained by ranchmen of the
Lower Rio Grande Valley from raids
made by Juan y. Cortina and his band
of brigands. Other claims are based
on the killing of American citizens by
outlaws, driving off of live stock and
other depredations along the border by
both MeXicans and Indians.

PARIS, August 22.-Joseph Gail
lauX, French minister of finance, is
going to London Sunday with the firm
intention Of reaching an agreement
with Winston Churchill, chancellor of
the eXchequer, on war debts, and the
conviction here is that he will succeed.
But such an agreement will not be
reached without bargaining and indica-
tionS here today forecast mutual con-
cessions of a far-reaching nature,
which may ultimately affect the United
States.
Should Great Britain demand full
payment of the French debt the in
terest alone at 31a per cent would
amount TO very nearly 100000 900 an
nually, which France admittedly is un-
able TO undertake. But Ar. Churchill
has other irons in the fire besides col
lection of the French debt, and he is
particularly anxious to avoid two
things, first and foremost, any sep
arate agreement between France and
Russia, and secondly, any closer rap
proChement between France and Ger
many.
Russia As Trade Basis.
1t is expected here that NJ. Caillaux
will readily agree TO forego the ad-
vantages which France as a nation
and French investors in Russian pre-
war securities might obtain through
special treaty with the Soviets if, in
return, England will grant generous
terms on the French debt. Mr..
Churchill being personally responsible
to large degree for British repudia-
tion of the Anglo-Soyiet treaty, it is
believed that he will be willing TO pay
a heavy price for the assurance that
France viii follow a similar policy.
on the question of Franco-German
relations, although NJ. Caillaux has
been the apostle since before the war
of a Franco-German continental bloc
and even suffered martrydom during
hostilities for this idea, he now is of
the opinion that it is useles to at
tempt to 90 anything with Germany
in her present mood without first OBJ
tanning British backing.

ing heart or a crouch against man.
kind, if one is to believe all that IS

its meeting place draped i'll funeral

The idea of such an organization is
new to the present generation, but it
was popular 100 years ago when
there were clubs for gloomy people,
ugly people, and even societies for
liarS. One of the strangest organiza-
tions was split-fathing club,
where tight listed old gentlemen who
held on to a penny until its last gasp
could exchange tales how they had
saved an eighth of a cent.
Under the roof of another, the uD-
fortunate club, gathered the unhap-
PLY married, bdnkruptS and those
who lost on races. all on equal ground
in the retelling of their grievances.

RUSSIAN DRYS PLAN
DRIVE UPON VODKA
Begin Agitation Against So
Wet Monopoly That Gives
Reds Big Revenue.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
MOSCOW, August 22.-Despite the
legalization of the manufacture and
sale of vodka by government mon
opoly, agitation in Russia continues
against the sale or use Of intoXicants.
The government expects next year
to increase its revenue from the vodka
monopoly from one hundred million
to four hundred million roubles. by in
creasing the alcoholic content from 80
to 40 per cent.
Revenue from vodka under the late
Car was about billion roubles an
nually When intoXicants were re-
stored after several years of prohibi-
ton, the authorities explained that the
action was due largely TO the difficulty
of suppresSing the illicit manufacture
of vodka from grain and potatoes.
A symposium from party workers,
printed in a local newspaper, says:
Alcoholism, the sitting heritage
from the old regime, continues To
strangle the cultured and economic
development Of the workmen and
pea SAINTS
one writer gives statistics showing
that 81 per cent of the workmen in
his factory were drinkers, 2l per cent
TO excess, 28 per cent habitual and
the remainder i'll varying degrees OF
moderation.
Other writer's say that the workers
Squander their wages on week end
drinking bouts and that their wives
are forced TO borrow from the unions
to feed their families.
Another describes Il workers week

RUSSIA MAY BE FRENCH LEVER
In BRITISH DEBT SETTLEMENT
CaiIlaux Likely to Waive Pact With Soviet in Return
for Easy Terms From England in NegO-
tiations Starting in London.

And so what may be expected as
result of the forthcoming London ne
gotiations is an agreement on greatly
reduced debt terms, with an implicit
agreement on Frances part to follow
England's policy toward Russia and
Germany.
How this may affect the United
States becomes obvious. Firstly. any
settlement reached between France
and England on the debt question
must inevitably figure with at least
moral value in subsequent negotia-
tionS concerning the French debt to
the United States. Hope is already
expressed here that America will not
be harsher than Great Britain, and,
furthermore, as the writer suggested
last Spring when the projected
debt discussion was
dropped, Great Britain can hardly
complain of unfair treatment at Wash
ington if the United States Govern
ment simply shows the same gener-
osity TO France as England does.
Example for L. 5.
In other words, England in reduc-
ing the French debt terms will be
setting an example for America, and
could not logically object if America
followed it.
But other effects of this expected
Anglo o-French agreement may be even
more important to America. If Mr..
Churchill succeeds in upsetting Fran
co-Russian relations, il will certainly
mean redoubled efforts on Russia S
part to get recognition from America
and possibly offers of such alluring
terms as would be difficult to resist.
Many American bankers and bust
ness men have visited Russia in recent
months and have reported great op-
portunities there to be exploited as
soon as the United States Government
recognizes the Soyiets. These oppor-
tunities would be magnitied many
times if Mr.. Churchill should succeed
in keeping the gates closed between
Europe and Russia,

DADDY LONGLEGS"
is WELL PRESENTED

Most of the Askov Chautauqua
Week program was reviewed in
last weeks American and time
and space prevents any detailed
mention of the presentation of
Daddy Longlegs" by local talent
Saturday and Sunday evenings.
More than 900 people saw the
play each of the two nights-ca-
pacity houses-and this was es-
pecially true of Sunday night
when the large ID. B. S. hall was
packed and the largest crowd of
the entire eight days was present
with the exception of the out
door program Friday afternoon
w hen Governor Christensen
spoke.
A great amount of work had
been put in by the performers to
make the presentation of the
play as good as it was. The
stage directors, Louis Olsen and
Rex Truman, had labored dill
gently as had many others who
did not appear on the scene. The
decorating of the hall and the
stage was done by many willing
hands and their work as well as
the work Of the ushers all helped
to make the whole affair success
full.
A write-up be it ever so brief
would be amiss if it did not men,
ton the names of the two lead
ing characters in the play-Edith
Gravesen as Judy, and Thorvald
Sorensen as Jervis Pendleton and
Daddy Longlegs". Miss Edith
has appeared on the stage before
and her ability in that direction
is well established here but Thor
valid Sorensen made his debut
and he did exceedingly well. AS
a whole all performers did well
and deserve credit. The children
taking part caused much merri-
ment.
