Man Often Is Cause
 Of Insect Ravages

BOSTON, July 26-AlJnough the present might well be called the age of insects, instead of the ma chine age, says Dr. Marshall Hertig of Harvard medical school, man rather than the insects appears to be the cause of the unbalance. Most of the insects he says, do not come into direct conflict with man at all. In many cases some of the worst insect pests, from mans standpoint, have be- come so only as a result of mans direct interference with the balance of nature. Man is forever creat- ing disturbances in this direction.
 Consider the profound changes which have taken place by remov- al of the original forests. In course of such a change it may happen that at one stroke certain plant feeding insects have their natural enemies removed and a new and copious food supply provided in the form of crops.
 "The inroads of the now unre- strained insect are resented by tho proprietor, man, and there is at once a conflict. This roughly is 1 the situation with many insects" :"

Hoover Ancestor Check
 Fails in Baden-Baden

BADEN BADEN, Germany, June 26.-The joy of the Badenese in claiming Herbert Hoover as one of their own has been short lived
 There was joy when the Ameri- can Genealogical and Heraldic so- ciety announced that the American presidents forebear was none other than one Andreas Huber, of Baden Baden, who allegedly emigrated to America in 1740.
 With customary German thor oughness, however, researches were instituted to prove the truth or falsity of President Hoover's con- nection with the famous spa. But neither in the records of the town nor in the old church books was any trace of an Andreas Huber to be found
 The best that the Badenese can hope for is that Andreas Huber may have come from one of the innumerable villages surrounding Baden Baden, the theory being that emigrants to the United States, for convenience sake, stated that they came from Baden-Ba when in reality they hailed from some small village.
 Prof. F. H. Staerk, who conducted long investigations, found that the period around 1740 wa some during which many Germans emigrated to the United States from this section of the country.
