SCIENCE
: BY DAVID DIETZ
Butterflies Are Excellent
Chemists, Feeding Only on
Plants That GiUe Best
Nourishment.

A USTIN H. CLARK, distinguished
4 \ biologist Of the Smithsonian
institution, chooses butterflies as the
subject of a sermon to show the
inter relations OF the whole uni
verse
did you ever realize" he asks,
that for their existence butterflies
depend upon the sea?"
Then he answers the question to
show the intricate completely of
nature by which each creature is
held in its appointed place in the
scheme of the cosmos.
THE young of butterflies are
known to us as caterpillarS," he
continues. "Caterpillars eat leaves
or at least the great majority eat
leaves.
Leaves are produced by plants.
In order to grow, plants must have
water. Water comes to them in the
form of rain. Rain is moisture con-
densed from the air passing in the
form of winds above the earth.
Most of this moisture gets into
the air through evaporation from
the surface of the seas which cover
seven-tenths of the area of the
world.
$50 there really is a close connec-
ton between the butterflies and the
ocean,"

YEATS BIRTH
IuH1a II


an June Is, 1865, William But
" Ter Yeats, noted Irish author
and dramatist, who in 1924 won the
Nobel prize for literature, was born
at Dublin. His father, John Butler
Yeats, was a distinguished artist
and member of the Royal Hibernian
academy.
After receiving his education at
Dublin and London, whence his
parents removed when he was a
child, Yeats, intent on following his
fathers career, studied painting.
But at the age of "a, when he
published his first book of poems,
THE Wanderings of Olson" he de-
cided he thenceforth would devote
his whole attention to literature.
With reputation established in
the field of letters, Yeats in 1897
became interested in the formation
of an Irish theater, and, with the
aid of friends, founded the Irish
Literary theater in 1899.
With the gradual development of
this theater such writer's as George
Moore and "A. E" were attracted
to it. The theater also is credited
with creating new writers as j. M
ISynge and Padriac Colunl.
Always interested in the intellec-
tual life of his country, Yeats was
one of the founders of the Irish
Literary Society.
For his intense devotions to the
development of the fine arts in his
country the government of the Irish
Free State nominated him in 1922
as one of its first senators.

Enemies

NNE ordinarily thinks of but
" terfly as having no enemies,
unless, perhaps, a small boy who
would chase it, or a scientist who
would catch it and stick it on pin
in a museum.
But Clark assures us that butter
flies have very many enemies of
every conceivable description.
1.-THE Australian natives are very
fond of certain kinds of butterflies
and grow fat on them if they can
get them in sufficient quantities, u
he says.
"In Central and South America,
and especially in Africa, the cater
pillars of several kinds of butter
flies usd to be-and in some places
still are-in much demand for food.
Certain bats are very fond of
butterflies, and mice and shrews
devour them eagerly. Some birds
feed partly, and in the tropics
largely, upon them. Certain small
lizards and some of the smaller
snakes are very fond of them.
Among their insect enemies are
mantises, various predacious bugs
robberfies, dfagonf1ies, hornets
ants and the so-called caterpillar
waspS.
But their worst and most de-
structive enemies are various sorts
of small, wasplike flies which lay
their eggs upon or in their eggs
their oaterpil1ars or their chrysalids
1.-THE small maggots which hatch
from the minute eggs of these para
sites feed upon the contents of the
eggs of the butterfly or upon the
juices of the caterpillar or upon the
contents of the chrysalids."

A Timely Demand

A demand for a permanent solution of
the problem of unemployment was made by
the state convention OF Eagles following an
address at Anderson by Frank E. Hering of
South Bend, VINO wildly outlined present
economic conditions and trends.
That demand is timely. 1t will be i'm
pressive if the present tariff bill passes and
is signed by President Hoover. The newt
able effect of that measure, in the opinion OF
business men and economists, will be to in
crease the lines of voorhees, and increase the
periods of idleness.
The resolution of the Eagles states The
happiness of the wage earning group and the
economic stability Of our country is based
upon the right of every American adult 10
work continuously at g saving wage"
The right to work was not listed in the
jnalienable rights outlined by the fathers.
They could not foresec day when men
could no longer control their own destlnes.
They saw only bounGless frontiers always
Reckoning the pioneer They demanded
only that he be given an opportunity to work
out his own destiny, unhampered by govern
ment.
Now the frontier is gone. The machine
ace has arrived. But The machine age man
IS not unhampered by his government
which has stealthily encroached upon MS OPP
portunities, has made monopoly lnevltaple
and profitable, has created conditions Oh Joo-
lessness through artificial control OF trade.
II has made the worker the pawn OF panlcS.
Jobs and the right to work for saving wage
are DESTROYED as the masters of finance ana
sneculation gamble with his earnings.
Has every American right to work con-
tinuously at a living wage which permits nm
to save for his old age?
If that be true, then the demand Oh the
Eagles for national commission authorized
70 nrotect him in that right should be an
swered Immediately.
If it is not true that the American adult
has this right to work and live, what is the
answer?
Those who may be appalled, by the daring
statement of this organization, and 1t is
most daring one in day that has not recog-
nized officially the rights of workers in the
new economic ere ,hould give an answer as
TO what will happen to workers when denied
this right
Is the answer dole system for those
driven from industry by the machine and
bad economic distribution of the forces OF
labor?
Is the answer the continuous support OF
the voorhees, by charity?
Or has the eye of the Eagle caught the
vision of real justice when it so calmly as
serts that men have the right to work, not
spasmodically, but continuously, and at a
wage which permits them to live?
There are several hundred thousands OF
members of this fraternal organization,
which has many social crusades as back
ground for its present declaration. One OF
these was the old-age pension movement, just
indorsed by the Democratic convention.
Has it started new movement and
sounded new Declaration of Independence,
declaration against idleness and enforced
charity for the voorhees,!

But What Cigarets

A S for cigarets, while it is true
N that women carry them they
are not among the most generous
people in the world in handing tnenl
out.
I suppose I know as much ABOUT
borrowing cigarets as any man III
this country. In my time nave
had several hundred thousand lent
to me. In looking over my DOCKS
am struck by the startling fact that
rather less than per cent were ao-
vanced to me by women.
And rs per cent OF this minute
quantity were of brand which
do not happen to e" W. Women
have a talent, closely approaching
genius, for fastening OH some va
riety not much in public demand
1t is generally man or boy VINO
carries the kind we all can smoke
and enjoy.
No sting lies, then, in the charge
that the girl Of today offers her
kisses as freely as her TASKS or Gig
aret case. She has no gin to give
and doubt if the average American
girl lends as many as a hundred
cigarets in the course OF any year
All of which would seem to indicate
that kissing is not what it was once
upon a time.
Moreover, I find myself in con-
fiict with the preacher in his use Of
the phrase, "Ofers her kisses" The
clergyman in question is perhaps
younger man and resident in q
much more open-hearted commit
nifty. Hereabouts kisses are never
offered. Or hardly ever. One works
for them or pleads or steals.

Chemists

MANY butterflies are expert
4VA chemists, Clark tells, pointing
out another example of the relation
of the butterfly to it's environment.
Most caterpillars are able to sub
Sist on only very limited num-
Der Of different kinds of plants
which are related closely to one an
other in chemical composition" he
says.
1.-THE cabbage butterfly feeds only
on cabbages and a few closely re-
lated plants and on naSturtiums.
Every many kinds of butterflies
feed only on a single kind of plant,
like our beaked butterfly and tawny
emperor, which as caterpillars are
found only on blackberry trees.
"From this it becomes evident
that female butterflies must be able
accurately to identify those plants
suitable for use as food by the cater
pillars of the coming generation.
Or, perhaps it should be said,
that they must be expert chemists,
for they not infrequently will pick
out plant chemically suitable as
food, but botanically widely different
from any other plant which they
or their ancestors-at least for
thousands of generations-could be
supposed to know.
"As an illustration, the female of
the common cabbage butterfly will
lay her eggs freely on garden mas
turtiums (Tropeolun) which belong
to a family of plants (Tropeo1aceae)
confined to Central and South
America, and not at all like any of
the plants of the cabbage family
(Brassicaceael. upon which ordi-
narily this old world insect feeds. ="

HERE is a world Scrambling for

and here We are, trying to play safe
behind tariff barbados.
The trick will work only as long
as people can't get what they want
somewhere else.
After that, we shall have to get
out and scratch gravel with the rest.
We have enjoyed monopoly in
certain products because of our
mechanical progress, because of
what the war did to so many other
countries, because of our enormous
wealth, and because of the deple-
ton in man-power throughout Eu-
rope.
During the last fifteen years we
have been able to do about as we
pleased in demanding prices and
fixing terms.
But the rest of the world is get
ting back on its feet, and from now
on we will have to meet COMPETE
ton; not as we would like to, in all
cases, but as the rest of the world
decides.

Instead of trying to boom busi-
ness by keeping foreign goods out
of her own market, she proposes to

This involves a wage reduction.
Of course, which would be enough

taught to look ahead.
The WeStphalian iron workers are

In justice to the Grundys and

One would be surer that this is

Under existing circumstances, it

PINCH0T FLAYS
CLARION RIVER
POWER GRAB

Leaping headlong into the ma
tional power fight, Governor-elect
Clifford Pinchot Of Pennsylvania
last night denounced the Power
Trusts attempt to break down
virtually all control over its
finances and the country's hydro
electric resources.
Success of this attempt would
force consumers to pay "at least
double" the rates for electricity,
Pinctot declared. It would also
make 1t impossible, he said, for
the public ever to regain control
Of its power resources except by
paying inflated prices for the
power companies plants.
Clash With Hoover
While aimed directly at the
Clarion River case, to be argued
in District Supreme Court here
today, Pinchot's statement applied
specifically to the rest Of the
country and brought him into
head-on collision with President
Hoover.

The company claims $11,O33,-

Would Pay Double
A decision for the company,
Pinchot said, would mean. first
in the case Of this company. and
later for other companies. that the
consumers of current would pay
at least double to the owners OF
the company what they could be
required to pay.
