 The Illinois State Natural History Survey has examined the habits of this weird, small slayer of peach crops and found out some things about it's habits and preferences. When the shucks are being pushed about half way off the young and growing peach. the curculios descend upon the or. chards, apparently, in endless regi- mcnts. It is then that they wreak havoc with the uncovered peaches and it is then that d spray of lead ar senate will wrcak havoc among the curculios,
 These sprays are now the standard protection against marauding "ele- plants" The curculioS, if unmolested, lay eggs which hatch into worms in peaches. plums and cherries. Once the eggs are laid the fruit is doomed; the parents must be killed before they are able to leave the taint behind.

 The Only Photo of Handsome Dili'' Tallman and Beautiful Mrs. Virginia Patty Whom He Is Charged With

 They Met.
 I TOW, when, why. by whom and TT where - these are questions
 whose answers are important to detectives and reporters in any murder mystery. In the newest puzzle confronting the Los Angeles homicide squad, involving wealth and beauty and clandestine love, three of the queries have been fairly well satisf but the other very important two why and by whom? - remain fog clouded
 And the whole story of Handsome Bill' Tallman's amazing disappearance from his ship stateroom has not yet been told. Presumably taking the hint afforded by a detective thriller which described the escape of hunted man from ship, the young radio operator managed to elude the detectives who swarmed aboard after him. Again how? And why?
 But let us go back bit When Mrs. G. M. Wilson, manager of an apartment house, where young man known as Handsome Bill' had rented cozy retreat for himself, opened the door of his flat not long ago a horrible spectacle met her eyes. Suspended

The threat of foreign retaliation, he declared, already has disappear ed in thin air" and the protests ar rayed by the democrats serve only as a stimulus to American enter prise and adventure"
 Holding that President Hoover, while secretary of commerce, had pushed American sales in foreign countries beyond all previous rec ords' in the face of higher protec- tive tariff rates and had thus "dem- onstrated that tariff does not ruin or even check our foreign trade" the West Virginian declared:
 If this is true, and it is. then these foreign protests of producers and manufacturers are entitled to little weight in the minds of Ameri- can business men, either north, south, east or west"
 Call Tariff Subterfuge
 The proposed boot and shoe duty was described by the democratic national committee as simply sub terfuge" for picking the farmers pocket in a statement embodyng an attack on the proposal by Represen- tative Mansfield, democrat. Texas.
 The rate, Mansfield contended, was excessive if considered as a means of compensating American shoe manufacturers in view of the pro- posed 10 per cent duty on hides. A 3 per cent rate, he calculated. would be more than enough to accomplish that purpose.
 Tt is plain to be seen,' he said, that the real purpose of the shoe tariff is for an excuse to raise the price of shoes, and by placing the tariff wall so high there can be no possible foreign competition"

Senate Finance Committee Turns
 to Controversial Features Likely
 to Cause Hot Debate Over Tariff
Report Unlikely to Be Ready By August 19-Shoe and Sugar Duties Stumbling Blocks
 At Present

Washington, July 5 P)-The sen- ate finance committee turned it's at tention to the highly controversial administrative provisions of the house tariff bill, while the contro- versy between republicans and dem- ocrats over various aspects of the measure gained momentum in other quarters.
 The administrative provisions en- body the changes from the present law voted by the house to facilitate and expand presidential authority to alter rates under the flexible tariff clause. They are regarded as com- parable to the sugar schedule as a potential source of prolonged con- troversy after the measure reaches the senate.
 Delay on Report Seen
 Further indications that the com mittee. despite pressure from repub- lican leaders to expedite its work, is not likely to have its report ready for the senate's consideration as de- sired by August 19, were seen in the long list of witnesses remaining to be heard this week before the task of rewriting the house bill is under taken in executive session with the democrats excluded. Nearly 75 names were still on the list of those to be heard, although the original programs for the hearings called for their completion last week.
 Two subjects which have aroused widespread discussion-the foreign protests against various rate in- creases and the proposed 20 per cent duty on boots and shoes-fgured in today's addition to the republican, democratic tariff controversy.
 Answers Harrison Statement
 Replying to a statement by Sena- tor Harrison of Mississippi. issued drought the democratic national committee, Senator Golf. republican West Virginia, said his fear that the numerous protests disclosed a like lihood of foreign retaliation and a ruination of our foreign trade is without justification"

there naturally was feeling Of great relief at the physicians state. ment that his majesty's condition was satisfactory after the operation.
 In court circles the result of the operation was regarded as highly satisfactory and, it was strongly hoped, would pave the way to com plete recovery.
 The operation was performed by Sir Hugh Rigby and Prof. Trotter in the kings bedroom, Nurses Pur- die and Block being in attendance.
 Although the bulletin states that portions of two ribs were removed. it is understood one portion was re- moved from the same rib which was cut when the last operation was performed.
 Because of the improved state or the kings general health, he came through the opration remarkably well and it Is hoped the period be. fore his recovery from the effects will be of short duration.
 It is emphasized that the object of the operation was to obtain an opening which would be satisfactory medically for draining of the ab- scess and thus effect a cure of the local trouble in the right chest.
 Stress was laid on the fact that although the operation was of a bigger nature than would seem to be indicated in Saturdays bulletin, it was of a very different nature from that of last December when the kings whole system was poison ed. It was stated that the king un- derwen. the operation for the local trouble as an otherwise fit man.
 No further bulletin will be issued today, but it is probable an oficiaI statement concerning the king will be made tonight.
