Of 1912

AMES. Iowa. May e.-P-The
plague Of the 17-year locust Is on
its way. the entomology department
OF Iowa State college announces.
The insect. a pest in the history OF
midwestern agriculture Is due this
month for its first appearance since
1912.
Already students OF the school
have come upon the little holes from
which the locust. or cicadas. will
emerge. The department predicts 1t
will be only a short time until the
insects ere Swarming.
The plague" will not RELAY be
harmful. the experts say. The in
crease Of the natural enemies Of
the cicadas-domestic animals.
squirrels, fowls and birds-and the
increase in cultivation Of land all
mean that slight damage Is to be
expected.
The life OF the locust above the
ground is only three or four weeks.
In that time they will deposit their
eggs in packets and twigs. then die.
The eggs will hatch and the young
locust will emerge after about seven
weeks. They will bury themselves
in the ground. there TO remain until
1916.
Little harm results from the CT
cadas during the years they are un.
foreground. They subsist by sucking
sap from the roots Of trees. Or
chards suffer worst.

Ruffles and Laces Again Favored

est Now that femininity Is
something to boast of, rs far as
STYLES are concerned. and ma
terials seem to be designed with
a fluffy frilly frock in mind, one
sees rufies and laces and
ffounces and flares In every
mode.
Even the ensemble which We
had come to believe was a thing
of severe lines, has become
clorifed in q rutiied way.
The ensemble at the right is OF

skirt Is iiared and its double tier
il edged with pieased rufiies,
which treatment l. also used on
the jacket and sleeves TO good
advantage. The plain blouse Is
of crgshell white crepe de Chine,
the flowers on the jacket being
of a deep shade of green velvet
Lace, which has been enjoying
such popularity, has invaded the
realm OF hosiery. Now one sees
stockings with a double lace
clock extending from the heel
half way up the limb. They arc
most attractive especially when
worn with a soft crepe dress
over which is worn one of the
sleeveless coats of printed
chiffon.
At any rate, We can in

$500 Monsters Killed in Ross Sea
Within Six Years by
Three Ships.

SYDNEY, Australia CP).-It is esti-
mated that $500 whales have been
killed in the last six years in the Ross

According to reports received from
New Zealand, the Norwegian factory
ship c. A. Larsen made $4,000 barrels
of whale oil, representing a catch OF
786 whales and valued at approximately
$500, 900 in the United States. The
Sir James Clark Ross, when she left
New Zealand for Europe, had on board
49, 600 barrels of oil, representing a
catch of SAB whales. This made total
Of 1929 whale for the two ships in four
months.
The N. T. Nielsen Alfonso. which re-
turned to Hobart from the Ross Sea re-
Gently, was reported to have treated 1872
whales. which yielded $500 barrels OF
oil. Thus the three whalers, represent
ing only two concerns, have accounted
for 2,061 whale this season.
Adding this seasons reported catches
