to permit the interested states to
bring suit against the Federal govern
ment.
Mr.. Smith is hopeful, he said, that
the resolution would be adopted at
the next session of Congress. Five
Of the states which have retained
counsel, did SO during the last session
Of Congress. Ten other states are
about to take similar action, either
through legislation or by executive
order.
The main argument used to urge
passage of the resolution is that the
Federal government should be ready
to right wrong and that if the tax
was illegal, as contended, the money
should 60 back to the persons from
whom the tax was collected or their
heirs, OF to the states Of which they
were citizens.
It is contended that the tax as i'm
posed during the years 1866, 1867 and
1868, will be held illegal and while
those who paid it, or their heirs, can
establish their claims, most Of the
money undoubtedly will escheat to
the states whose citizens paid it.

BEETLE FIGHT Is HOPELESS
Impossible To Exterminate Pests En-.
tirely, Philadelphia Expert Says


The japanese beetle has had a ten
year start in the Philadelphia area
and it will be impossible to extermin-
ate the pest entirely, despite the eff
forts Of the government agents and
the distribution of imported parasites.
That was the substance of state
ment made BY DR.. Herman Hornog,
city entomologist, who emphasized
the startling strides in propagation
made by the beetle and the unpre-
cedented damage to gardens and truck
farms.
"The damage already accomplished
in this area has been heavy" said DR..
Hornog, "but next year it is certain
to be worse The pests have spread
their larvae in every section, especial
ly the parks, and look for Fairmount
Park to be overrun, in 1927.
"The fact that the beetle can lay
eighty eggs at one sitting is another
feature difficult to overcome. Spray
ing plants with arsenate of lead does
not kill the beetle. It merely incon-
veniences it, but saves the plant. The
taste of the arsenic of lead discour-
ages the beetle and he fees to con-
centrate elsewhere"
Dr. Hornog estimated five years as
the time required to make any appre-
ciable inroads on the beetle invasion.
"The parasites and domestic birds will
help a great deal in the battle, but,
on the other hand, the beetles are
strong fiers and capable Of moving
from one section to another" he add
ed.
Spraying is a big help" continued
DR.. Hornog, "but in spraying we must
be careful not to kill the parasites
that are the enemies Of the beetle. If
garden owners will encourage children
to catch the beetles in bottles and re
ward them with a small payment for
their efforts, it will materially assist US
in the battle of determination"
Meanwhile, the governments Jap
anese beetle research laboratories at
Cinnaminson, near Riverton, n. J.,are
busy in the work Of breeding thous-
ands of enemy insects and distributing
these throughout Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware.

AIMING TO PROTECT FORESTS
Delaware State Commission Studying
Subject Benefit of Next Legislature
7 sr J, v. DAZZLING

Delaware State Commission Studying
Subject Benefit of Next Legislature
While no funds were made avilable
for its use, the Forest Conservation
Commission of Delaware, appointed
by Governor Robinson by virtue Of
authority given in an act passed at the
last session of the Legislature, has
been hard at work and expects to be
able to present an informing report
to the next Legislature. This is the
object for which the commission was
appointed. The members of the COM
mission are: Ella c. Emery,of Laurel;
Anna Lee Waller, of Delmar; Will
lard Springer, Jr., and George w.
Butz, Jr., of Wilmington, Mr.. Butz
being secretary. Ever since it was
appointed the commission has been
making study of forest conditions
in the state, and i'll connection there
with has been conducting a campaign
Of education among the citizens. A
number Of public meetings have been
held. It had been reported that scant
attention was being given in some
parts Of the state to conservation Of
our woodlands, and that holly and
other valuable trees were being de-
stroyed promiscuously. An investi-
cation has shown that this report is
true. The facts learned will be re-
ported to the Legislature, which
doubtless will enact such legislation
as will be necessary to better care for
the forests of Delaware.
