JAPANESE BEETLE FEEDS
ON SILK OF SWEET CORN
New Menace to Country's Crops
Seen by Entomologists on
Inspection Trip.

Entomologi ITS are viewing with
alarm the latest addition to the bill
OF fare of the Japanese beetle that has
been committing serious depredations
In Eastern States for the past few
years.
When DR.. A. L. Quaintance, as
sociate chief of the United States Bu-
reau of Entomology, accompanied by
several fellow scientists, visited the
headquarters of the Japanese beetle
warfare at Riverton, n. j., recently,
the pests, in addition TO denuding or
chards of fruit and leaves alike, were
feeding busily on the silk of young
sweet corn.
This type Of injury, scientists fear,
may indicate serious damage to the
country's corn crop if the pest cannot
be headed off from the corn belt of
the Middle West.

SMOKE OVERCOMES
BETHESDA F|REMEN.
Two Trapped by Flames In
Unoccupied Residence.
Damage $4,000.

Two Bethesda firemen, overcome by
smoke when trapped by flames, were
rescued from the burning upper floor
of an unoccupied frame residence on
Bradley Lane near Maple avenue,
which was nearly destroyed by fire
of unknown origin that broke out at
410 o'clock this morning. Before the
flames were finally subdued after a
two-hour struggle, the two upper
floors were practically burned away,
the damage being estimated at $4,000.
When the first Bethesda company
responded, the house was a mass of
flames bursting from the second-story
windows.
Second Company Called.
Capt Adams soon found it necessary
TO call out the second Bethesda com
pany and later the Chevy Chase COM
pany. With 40 men from Bethesda en-
gagged in fighting the spreading fire, ii
was necessary Tor the latter company
to go into action.
Rush Allison and Norman Grinnel
were trying TO keep the fire from
spreading TO the third floor when they
were trapped between flames bursting
out in a new direction. Others in the
room saw them fall to the floor and
went to their rescue. Both men
seemed to be unconscious and ii was
with difficulty that they were dragged
through the smoke out of the house.

Earth, Tapped for Natural Heat, Expected
To Deliver Power in Paying Quantities

Steam wells. where the earth is
tapped for natural heat as it is else.
where for natural gas or oil, promise
to deliver power in paying quanti-
ties and at the same time to yield
data of value in the study of the an
cient riddle of geyserS, hot springs
and fumaroles.
The first development of this kind
in America. at "The Geysers" in Cali
fornia, has been given a thorough
scientific examination by DR.. f. T.
Allen and DR.. Arthur l.. Day of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington,
and their report has just been made
public.

valley in the Coast Range. near San
Francisco. There is abundant evil

ing tumaroles and hot springs. is prob
ably the product of deeply buried lava
that has not yet cooled. The name,
"The Geysers," however. the Wash
ington scientists state, is a misnOmer.
for there are no active geysers in the
valley and no signs that there ever
were any. Even the natural steam
and hot water escapes are less
marked than they are in many other
similar regions.
Nevertheless. there seems to be
abundant steam at high temperatures
and pressures when the borings are
sunk. Eight wells have been put
down so far. to depths of between
200 and $50 feet. These develop
steam pressures between so and 275
pounds per square inch. Quantitative
measurements OF the output of four
of the wells indicate a power equiva-
lent to 4.500 kilowatts, or over 1000
kilowatts per we'll.

Scientist Urges Watch for Relics
OF NOrsemen i'm North America

A large flint spearhead made Of
material different from Indian spear
heads of Maine is arousing renewed
interest in the stories of Morse adven-
lures in North America in the eleventh
century The spearhead, which was
found on the beach at Pemaquid sew
efai years ago. is now in the posses
sion of Walter b Smith. who has
made extensive studies OF lndian re-
mains in this region.
In report on the possibility OF
finding traces of the Norsemen, just
made bv Mr.. Smith, he states that
the spearhead may be Indian in origin.
He points out. however, that 1t Is not
of flint such as the Indians used, but
seems to be identical with a rock
called halIeflinta, which is well known
In Sea ndinavia. The fact that eleventh
century Vikings had passed the age

Prohibitions periodical council Of
war-the biennial national convention
of the Anti-Saloon League of Amer
ica-wili be held in Washington on De-
cember 5, s, Z and s. Place and
time are of deep significance. The
Capital was chosen because the con-
ventiOn's program has direct reference
to the presidential year of 1928. The
date of the biennial was fixed TO co.
incide with the assembling of the
SEVENTEEN Congress. for the Nations
organized drys intend to address
House, Senate and administration in
something resembling imperious terms.
Legislation to impose more severe
penalties upon prohibition violators is
the drys' principal demand.
The incoming Congress is held by
the Anti-Saloon League forces to be
overwhelmingly dry as far as any
tampering with existing laws is con-
cerned. Projects of House vets like
Representatives Shafer. Celler, Boy.
Ian. Oliver, La Guarda and Kahn, or
of Senate vets like Senators Bruce,
Edge and Edwards to resubmit modi-
tication bills fail to ruff1e the prohibi-
ton managers.
Both Houses Held Dry.
The Senate is accounted dry on
cardinal prohibition issues by roughly
20 to 26 votes. The House is also
estimated to be at least two.thirds
dry. These margins of strength, the
Antl-Salooners explain, may vary on
occasion, such as the time when only
% Senators supported cloture to pass
the prOhibition-service reorganization
bill. But the bill itself was adopted
y to 6. On a showdown TO repeal
either the eighteenth amendment or
the Nolstead law, the drys boast that
not more than a % per cent vote
would be obtainable in either house.
The forthcoming Anti-Saloon bien.
nial intends calling upon Congress to
exhibit the dry faith that is osten-
sibly within it. The league declares.
in effect The time is here for this
dry Congress to say to the admins
tration. by passing enforcement laws
and voting enforcement appropria-
tions, that it is ready to back up the
administration in enforcing those laws.
The time is here. especially, for Con.
eress to say that it and the people of
the country will hold the administra-
ton responsible for failure to enforce
the laws"
Want Heavy Penalties.
That summarizes the prohibition
program in general. In particular. it
calls for new legislation to carry out
that program. The drys' view is that
existing penalties are far too light to
be effective deterrents. They want
offenders against any of the five "con.
stitutional provisions"-sale,m manufac.
ture, transportation, expectation or
importation of liquor-to be made
liable to prosecution henceforward as
violators Of the Constitution. An il.
licit distiller or bootlegger can now
escape with a relatively light prison
sentence compared to the penalties
confronting jugglers with the narcot-
les laws. The Anti-Salooners deman

Children i'm National
Park Have Pet Deer

The pet problem has been solved
for the children of the Government
staff at Grand Canyon National Park
in Arizona. Denied The customary
cats and dogs through park regula.
tions, they have been given 10 fawns
from tho deer herd in the kaibab Ma
tional Forest north of the park, and
are now quite happy.
Dogs and cats are forbidden within
the park partly because they are
predatory animals and likely to kill,
or at least annoy, the native wild pop
ulation. The substituted fawns were
provided by arrangement between the
National Park Service and the Forest
Service. and We're transported from
the North Rim to the South by truck.

not long after its arrival at park
headquarters, but the surviving eight
are thriving and have become very

BY WILLIAM ULLNAN.

A sidelight of the Massachusetts
compulsory automobile liability law
that provides one of the most interest
ing features of this unique expert
ment in motor legislation is it's marked
contribution to safety. To those who
have listened to and read propaganda
directed against the law reference to
it's safety as a "sidelight" may appear
to be surprising. That, however, is
what it is-a sidelight, for there was
no thought of it's effect upon safety
when the law was passed, for all that
Massachusetts sought to do was es-
tablish a motorists financial respon-
sibiity in event of an accident before
it would allow him to own and operate
a car.
Compulsory liability insurance has
proved a safety measure, however,
and, inevitably, it will become more
and more a safety measure. Although
this feature OF the statute is no more
than a circumstance of it's applica.
ton, Bay State officials find it most
happy one and glory in the laws sue
cess in this sphere.
Reckless Drivers Barred.
Now that the statute has worked
out in this fashion, it is apparent to
every open.minded observer that there
are three main ways In which the
law tends to reduce street and high
way accidents.
First, it denies the reckless driver
the right to own and operate a car.
Eventually, it will get rid of the habit
ually careless motorist, as we'll.
Second, it rids the highway of one
I<f .tAe, "a
automobile whose safety features long
before nave passed into state of
hopeless inadeQuacy.
Third, it penalties all motorists di-
rectly in proportion to the bad driving
practices of the group as whole.
States and municipalities have been
after the reckless driver for many
wears. but no matter how rigorous
their traffic codes nor how far-reach-
ing their enforcement programs,
majority OF this type seems to have
succeeded in slipping through the le-
ga: net. Even when caught, the reck.
less driver has seemed to lind loop
hole through which he can escape the
severe penalty of having his right to
drive car taken from him. Also.
there are thousands of instances in
which the reckless driver is not
caught. Any motorist can testify to
numerous conspicuous exhibitions of
foolhardy driving that have escaped
the notice of those empowered to take
punitive action.
Private Agency Aids.
In Massachusetts today a powerful
private enterprise which has great
deal to lose through reckless driving
is bulwarking the State and munich
pallty in keeping track of the motor.
ist whose tactics menace the safety
of other street and highway users
This agency. of course. is the insur-
ance company. which has been
brought into the picture through the
compulsory liability law.
No deviation from the straight and
| narrow pathway of circumspect mo-
toring that reaches the surface
through any channel escapes the rec
| ords of the insurer. In order to know
his chance for business success it is
