SNOWY TREE CRICKET.

T<aIS famous singer provides a
sweet for his lady-love and is
silent while she partakes OF 1t.
The snowy tree cricket Is famous
as an all-night singer, and the
hotter the night the more enthusiasm
is put into the song. 1t Is said he can
produce $50 strokes minute, ana
while others are gasping with the heat
it seems to inspire him. In the day
time his song IS very different, plain
tive little tune. and when cold days
arrive he becomes hoarse.
In the twilight, these pale green
crickets look very white. They have
lovely slender bodies, which are ivory
white and the wings are clear, as are
the wing cases. The antennae are ex-
tremely long and threadlike, with two
tiny black dots on the under side.
In the early evening the young
suitor begins his seranade, and when the
cricket belle comes closer to the singer
the wings are raised. She IS seen TO
listen as the soulful ditty goes on and
the transparent wings are held high. IN
a wee pocket at the base OF the wings
there is a drop of delectable sweet.
Between the singing and the Prospects
of treat the offer is accepted. The
singing is hushed, and after the confec-
ton has been slipped. the soloist is ac-
cepted.
After the wedding. the bride departs
for our apple, peach and cherry trees,
as well as the raspberry and blackber-
ry bushes. She is equipped with a sharp
egg placer, and she bores tiny hole in
the bark of her chosen site. In each
pin-point cavity she places a yellow
egg. She reaches the sapwood with
her sharp bill, and as she makes at
least rs punctures or about rs to the
inch, these openings are just the place
for tree diseases to enter. In the case
of the canes, they split or break Just
where the eggs were inserted.
All Winter the pale yellow eggs re-
main in their inches, and By Spring
the pale green infants steal forth to
feast on the foliage of the trees, pollen
and ripe fruit Their appetite for food
is amazing and their digestion perfect.

HOOVER CONSIDERS
HOME BANK BILL
Report From Controller on
Borah-GIass Amendment
Is Awaited.

President Hoover, it was reported TO-
day, is still considering whether he
shall sign the home loan bank bill
which was put through Congress just
before that body adjourned Saturday
night. The measure Is before the
controller of the currency for a re-
port on the Borah Glass amendment
which would increase by more than a
billion dollars the national bank notes
which may be issued by national banks
against Government bonds.
Senator Watson of Indiana Republi-
can leader of the Senate. who sponsored
the bill in its passage through the Sen
ate, was q guest Of the President at
Rapidan over the week end. The Indi-
ana Senator today. however, was re-
ported to be in New York.
The echoes Of the Watson -Couzens
row in the closing hour of the session
continued to reverberate in Capitol
corridors today. Friends of the Repub-
lican leader made it clear they resented
the attack made upon Senator Watson
by Senator James Couzens of Michigan
when it became apparent to the latter
that he would be unable to block the
passage Of the $250,000 appropriation
for the operation of the home loan
oank bill. Senator Couzens was a strong
and unyielding opponent of the bill. He
charged on the floor that trick" had
been resorted to In order to get action
on the appropriation bill. and expressed
the hope that the Democrats in Indiana
would take care Of" Senator Watson In
the senatorial election next November
A Republican friend of Watson said
today OF the controversy:
Senator James E. Watson. Republi-
can leader of the Senate, never dis
played his patience and kindly nature
to better advantage than he did when
Senator Couzens, the multi millionaire
Republican insurgent. displayed his
wrath in the Senate in his failure to
defeat the Watson home loan bill at
the closing hours of the session Sen
ator Couzens had fought the bill saw
agely and bitterly at every point"
He quoted Senator Watson's reply to
Senator Couzens as follows:
Il am not going to get into a per-
Sonal encounter with the Senator
Never in my political experience as a
campaigner or on this floor have / said
anything derogatory to the character of
any man. I do not believe in the argu-
ment of slander or in the logic of Wifi
cation. I try to keep above the low
miasmatic swamps of personal defama-
ton and conduct my argument from
the high plateau of principle and logic;
and have never at any time INDUCED
in slander of any of my colleagues or
of any of my opponents or of any OF
my fellow citizens, and do not intend
now to indulge in anything of that
character"
