WASPS DEVOUR
Each OTHER
Different Types Com
plete Life Cycle
AS Cannibals

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-tP9-
Science proved today that the famous
verses about fleas weren't very far
from the truth.
They would, in fact. he almost per-
fectly accurate If they were made to
read:
Great wasps have little wasps
upon their backs TO bite EN-,
And little wasps have lesser
wasps and so ad infinitum."
The .'great wasps" concerned are
those which feed upon the common
plant lice. They really are little
wawsps, but are much greater IN size
than the "~lesser wasps."
The great wasp" lays its egg IN
side the plant insect, which rs les
than an eighth of an inch in length
DIR. Grace H. Griswold of Cornell,
told the chronological Society oi
America.
This egg matches into a tiny grub
which consumes the insect, leaving
only a hollow shell. Meanwhile, a
little wasp" along and lays
its egg inside the grub.
The second egg matches, and the
grub eats up the great wasp's
grub, but then, slcng comes a less
er wasp" and does the same thing
10 the second grub that the second
grub did to the first.
"Perhaps there is a fouth little
that attacks the third little
and so 'ad infinitium'," DIR.
Griswold suggested. at may be
true, but it would be difficult to
prove."

THANKS EiE. PRESIDENT

There is not much TO be said with reference to
the signing of the S,vng-Johnzon BILL except hank
you, Mr.. President, and Imperial Valley certainly
thanks the chief executive Tor the finest Christmas
gift that could be given US.
We thank also, the splendid friends of Imperial
Valley in the house and senate, who recognized the
necessity Of devc opng the Colorado river and by their
votes made possible the action o. 1lr. Coolidge,
Imperial Valley also thanks tie Unknown thou-
sands in all parts Of the country Who did their bit by
writing, by talking, o. Otherwise to bring victory to
our cause.
We cannot sufficiently thank Senator Hiram john
son and Congressman Phil d. Swing. There IS little
we can do or say to repay them for the gigantic efor;
they made in behalf Both Of them considered
1t their duty to fight through the years until victory
came and like good soldiers they kept fighting even
when the odds against them looked the bl2cket Eight
years IS long time as lie goes and to fight over that
period takes enormous energy and vitality Senator
johnson and Congressman Swing have given freely Of
their strength to bring success. Nc can only say
We'll done thou good and faithful servants. May
the future bring them the richest hOnOrS and when
the time that they the call that to
ali of US, they will leave behind them monument
greater than any of the pyramids q the PhaIoahs
Is it out Of place here 10 ozer the suggestion that
this great work be known - S-ngJ ohnSon dam?
We Think not It would be Itt,c enough honor for
these two have borne so long the burden Of battle.
Much preliminary work is yet to be done before
the first actual construction may be started 1t Will
be the greater part Of another decade before the great
project is completed In this interval we must pre-
pare for the great expansion that IS to The
extent of the project is great that not those
familiar with it can visualize JUS what il means
As far as we in thevaI ey are concerned, our great
labored under are removed. rs stated in this column
last week, outside confidence n Imperial Valley will be
greatly strengthened We here must prepare for
the change.
This can best be done by stopping .he pe,.y guar
reling and Gissension tn&t has marked much OF our
course in the past two decades 1t is time to begin
team work, standing shoulder 10 shoulder, not for
individual communities buc for Imperial Valley.
Todays action by the President has turned the
eyes of the nation upon to degree that We
understand Thousands of people who have never heard
Of Imperial Valley know about now and VIII desire
to know more The nation has given Us a Christmas
gift and must prove ourselves worthy Of it BY max
ing the very most Of it. We have come into our her-
tage and the future is entirely up to Us.
