The bean beetle was known for many
years along the Mexican border but Ii
was not until about 1920 that it be-
gan its progress northward. First came
a wide area of infestation in Tennessee
in 1921. Last year it had crossed the
Canadian line and was spreading east
ward toward the Atlantic coast.
The bean beetle feeds almost exclus-
lively on bean foliage and only In des-
perate circumstances will it attack soy

beneficial to the farmer. The other
is the squash beetle which feeds only
on squash and pumpkin leaves.
The greatest damage is done by the
small, orange colored larvae, which feed
on the under surface Of the leaf.

COvington Man Visits Home
After II Months in
'a'. Orient.

Lack Of educational, correspond
ence and transportation facilities is
responsible for the difficulty in es-
tablishing stable government in
China, says Lieut.. David M. Shoup
of Covington, Ind.
Shoup, who entered the United
States marine corps in 1926 follow
ing graduation from De Paw Uni
versity, Greencastle, Ind, has re-
turned from eleven months in the
Orient.
Methods of communication are
such in the interior of China that
an event in a town twenty-five miles
away may never be heard Of. It is
not like in America, where news
travels FAST" Shoup declared.
Marines are stationed as watch
dogs" along the China coast to pro-
mote commercial relations with the
Orient.
Shoup personally witnessed out
RACES of the depraved soldiers who
had gone months without food,
clothing and money. Banditry in
China differs somewhat from the
American tactics, he said.
1T is common thing for a des-
perado to form band of bandits
who kidnap wealthy man and hold
him for ransom. 1t is easy for a
leader to form a bandit band by of
fering depraved soldiers a small

said.

SEARCHES FOR
PLANES AT SEA
PROVE COSTLY
Steamship Lines Bear Loss
When Liners Hunt
Lost Filters.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
LONDON, Au. 31.-Searching for
lost transatlantic fiers has become
an important item in the expense
of operating ocean liners.
Even when a flight is successful,
ships along the route taken by the
aviators are obliged to provide an
extra watch and to communicate
the position of any plans sighted.
This is cheerfully done, of course,
and ships are diverted from their
courses just as cheerfully when the
word is received that plane has
been lost. But the expense to the
shipping companies is far greater
than the layman would imagine.
Losses Heavy
If liner spends one day seeking
a lost airplane, the shipping COM
pany must bear at least the fol-
lowing loss: One days extra pay
for the crew, one days extra food
for passengers, fuel for one extra
day, one day lost in port before the
return sailing. Then, too. passen-
gers may miss connections in port
or suffer business losses; the officers
and crew are forced to work under
nervou tension during the search
and in attempting to regain lost
time after the ships course is re-
sumed.
officials of shipping companies dc
not complain of this extra expense.
Saving lives is part of the tradition
Of the sea. There is no thought OF
compensation. A remembrance for
the captain or q donation for the
ere wof liner may be made in al
sincerity, but it is nothing compared
with the expense of a rescue.
$4,000 Day
The actual cost of making a res
cue at sea hardly can be estimated,
a spokesman for the United States
Lines in London told the United
Press. If stranded airplane sends
out an SOS, all the ships within
reasonable distance asnwer the call
at full steam. But the plane may
drift fifty to one hundred miles be-
fore it is sighted. The first ship on
the scene will advise the others if
their help is needed.
"Soppose that the Leviathan, will:
1000 passengers and 800 crew, loses
a day in seeking or rescuing a trans
Atlantic plane. A conservative esti-
mate, without counting day lost
in port before the return voyage,
places the loss at $4,000"

COLD WINDS HALT
LITTLE SERIES TILT
Indians Will Play Second
Game With Rochester
on Friday.
BY EDDIE ASH
Times Sports Editor

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sept. 27.-
TodayS little world series" game
between Rochester and Indian
apolis was postponed because of wet
grounds and cold weather. The Sec
ond game will be played Friday.
After barely nosing in with a vic
tory Wednesday in the opening
game of the little worlds series, "
8 to 2, eleven innings. Bruno Bet
zers American Association cham
pions decided the Rochester Red
Wings we're stronger than advance
dope indicated.
Emil Yde or Bill Burwell is slated
to hurl for the Indians Friday after
noon, and it is believed Manager
Southworth of the international
League boys will use Herman Bell,
a seasoned right-hander.
SwetOnic Shines
The Wednesday fracas was tight
mound battle In which Steve Swe-
tonic gained fame by propelling the
sphere in dazzling fashion when
Red Wings were on the sacks. His
opponent, Vic Keen, also hurled
high-class ball, but his own error
in the seventh inning permitted a
run to score than proved the mar
gin of the Indian victory in the
final Sum-up.
Swetonic was brilliant. In the
Rochester half of the seventh, run
ners were on third and second with
none out when he delivered his best
bit of tWirling. He struck out Keen
and caused Brown and Toporcer to
foul to Spencer to retire the side
without allowing the plate to be
crossed. He was as cool as the ter
rible weather and his fast ball ac-
tually frightened some of the Red
Wing hitters.
Spencer in Great Form
Roy Spencer caught a beautiful
game and his confident manner and
chatter had an important part in
swinging the contest to Indianapolis.
Roy also got two hits, walk and a
sacrifice once.
WarStler was all over the field
Wednesday and his defensive play
was remarkable. He made two run
ming catches that cut off bits and
which took some of the heart out
of the Red Wings. He reached out
once for a one-handed stab that
caused the home fans to groan.
