Criticism Of the Navy Department
for failure to have sailors equipped to
sail the U. S. frigate Constitution, re-
stored in early nineteenth century FASH

Secretary of the Navy Ernest Lee
Jahncke the statement that countless
children will be disappointed in not

unless the Navy Department program
Is carried out.
Mr.. Jahncke explained that COM
munities in which the Constitution is
scheduled to appear would be disap-
pointed, should the wind. tide, fog and
other maritime factors intervene to pre-
vent her appearance as planned in a
port If she depended solely upon sails.
Many communities are planning to
give school children holidays when the
vessel reaches port, so the Navy De-
partment has worked out q schedule
extending well on into Fall for towing
the Constitution along the Atlantic sea-
board, insuring that the tug and ship
will keep to schedule.
If sails alone were to be used to take
the Constitution from port to port,

many as $50 strokes per minute. When
the cold nights come on the singer
sounds very hoarse.
In the evening light these crickets
look very white. They are pale green,
their body is slender and ivory white,
tinged with delicate green. The wings
are clear and so are the wing cases.
The antennae are extremely long and
threadlike, with two slightly elevated
black dots on the under side.
The young suitor, besides being a
singer of note, brings to the young lady
cricket an offering of sweets. He be-
gins his ditty with a soulful note, the
young damsel is seen to listen, she
comes closer, and sees that the gallant
has his wings raised high and the song
now is most pleading. The song and Of
fering Of a delectable sweet are ir-
resistible and the offer is accepted. She
is seen slipping the sweet from tiny
pocket located at the base Of his wings.
The song is hushed while the lady en-
joys her treat
OF course, she marries him, and then
the mother seeks our apple trees, cher
~, peach, raspberry and blackberry
stems in which she bores tiny hole to
insert her wee, pale yellow eggs. The
mother is supplied with very sharp
drill at the tip Of her body, she makes
hole about the size Of a pin point,
drills into the sapwood and places one
egg, about one-eighth of an inch long,
In the puncture. She makes about rs
holes, about 25 to the inch, In very
straight row.
These holes are often the open door
for tree diseases. Canes split and break
off where the mother cricket laid her
eggs
All Winter the eggs remain in the
twigs. In Spring the eggs hatch and
the pale, slender infants steal forth to
feed on the foliage of the trees, pollen
and ripe fruit. They have very accom-
modating appetites for such wee crea-
lures. They grow slowly and are just
like their parents. When fully grown
they have pair of wings. There is
one generation year, and these crickets
are known all through the East and
Middle West.
Dusting or spraying the canes Of your
berries and the trees where the punc-;
lures may be seen is the only way to
still the voice Of the lusty serenader.

Runty's Handy Tail.
For nothing is there real excuse
Unless somehow It is of use.

T>HIs is. why that as fast as she
finds things are useless Old
Mother Nature tries to get rid
l. of them. 1t sometimes takes
her long time to 20 it, but
in the end she succeeds. Runty, the
little Possum, couldn't for the life OF
him see what use a tail that merely
twitched and couldn't seem to keep
still, like the tail of Black Pussy, was,
but for his own tail he had plenty of
use. He wouldn't have known how to
get along without it, particularly when
climbing
Up a tree, rather small tree, in the
Green Forest scrambled Runty and his
claws made a scratching sound. He
couldn't help that No one could climb
tree in a hurry without a sound. And
Runty was in a hurry. Yes, indeed,
Runty was In a hurry. Black Pussy
certainly would get him again If he re-
manned on the ground whereas If he
climbed tree he might be safe. He
had great hope that Black Pussy
just sit up in that tree and grin down
at Black Pussy. So he scrambled up as
fast as he could.
But Runty's hope was promptly
ended. Black Pussy heard those claws
on the bark of that tree and rushed
over to look up. She saw Runty climb
ing and fierce light came into her
eyes. Here was another Of those queer
little animals of whom she had al
ready caught one. She would catch
this one also and take both home to
show what great hunter she was.
You see she supposed that Runty was
dead, and, of course, was just where
she had left him.
So up the tree started Black Pussy

turn around it with his tail. He had
hands, feet and tail to hang on with.

Now If All have to-" thought he.
"Ah can let mahself down by nah tail
and pretty near reach that branch be-
low"
Black Pussy reached the branch to
the tip of which Runty was Climbing.
There she paused. 1t was one thing to
have the trunk Of a. tree to cling to
and qpite another to creep out on
sWaying branch. Gingerly she ventured
out, pausing at every step. That young
Postum was tantalizingiy near. She
ventured further The branch bent
and Black Pussy dug her claws in to
hold on. She didn't feel at all com
Portable. No, sir, she didn't. In fact,
she felt very uncomfortable.
Carefully she stretched out a black
paw with the sharp claws showing,

and Runty's heart almost topped over
In sudden fright. Up he went and up
and up and up. Up came Black Pussy
and up and up and up: Runty was
higher than ever he had been before,
but somehow this didn't trouble him.
What did trouble him was the discov-
cry that Black Pussy was a very good
climber and that she was keeping right
on after him. OF course, he couldn't
go any higher than the top, and if
Black Pussy could keep right on to the
top also, and it looked as If she could,
he would be caught again.
Runty stopped climbing up and in
stead made his way out along a limb,
a rather slim limb that would bend
with much of any weight Runty was

Runty saw 1t coming and didn't wait
longer. He let go with hands and feet
and hung head down by his tail, that
very handy tail. Black Pussy glared.
She didn't dare go any farther out on
that limb She couldn't quite reach
Runty's tail where it was wrapped
around the tip, and she had feeling
that even If she could 1t would do her
no good. There she was with that lit
tie Possurn gripning at her just out of
reach and there was nothing she could
do about 1t.

RULE FOR RING CLASH
Will Permit Western Maryland to

Boxing Code.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March I'm view
Of certain unusual conditions, the Naval
Academy will not insist Apon the strict
observance of the four year rule when
its boxing team meets that of Western
Maryland College at Annapolis on
March IA. Two of the members Of the
visiting team, Crosby, intercollegiate
champion at 1875 pounds, and Ekaitis,
a strong fighter in the 175-pound class,
are on the varsity for their fourth
season.
western Maryland has adopted the
three-year rule, but it was not retroac-
tive, and Crosby and Ekaitis had boxed
before it went into effect.
It was found that the rules of the
intercollegiate Boxing Association pro-
vided a limit of four instead of three
years, and as the Naval Academy is a
member of that body and helped to
frame the rules. its athletic heads feel
that it cannot attempt to prescribe
other conditions.
Western Maryland is expected to
make determined effort to break into
the Nays great record of eleven years
Of boxing without defeat in dual
match.
In addition to Crosby and Ekaitis, the
visiting team has excellent boxers in
