Scientist Describes
( Drunken Butterflies

Washington.-ButterAies with a
regular bar-by's appetite for alco-
hol, as we'll as others with a crav-
ing for other narcotics, are describ-
ed by Austin Clark, of the Smith
sonian Institution. Piles of decay
ing fruit, in an advanced state of
fermentation, are much frequent.d
by certain butterfly species he says.
They feed until thy are quite
stupehed.
Less understandable appetites,
from the human point of view, are
displayed by butterflies that appar-
emily like to get drunk on carbon.
A dead snake, hung up a few feet
above the ground and left to its
own malodorous devices, will at
tract swarms of woodland butter
flies. The Indian pipe, a curious
plant of the woods, has a strong
attraction for the active little skip
per butterfly, which seems to get
a powerful Sjolt" of some kind of
narcotic substance from it.
Butterflies, says Mr.. Clark, have
astonishing powers of chemical
discrimination. Many species Law
their eggs only on the leaves of
certain species of plants, many of
which have no odor at all to hu-
man noses.
Moreover, they seem to be able
to find the chemical stufs they
want even in unfamiliar planes.
Mr.. Clark cites the case of the
common cabbage butterfly, intro
duced from Europe, which in this
country lays its eggs on nasturi-
tum leaves as well as on plants of
the cabbage tribe. This is remark
able because while the nasturtium
is quite remote from the cabbage
in its botanical aflnities, it hap
pens to contain chemical substances
closely similar to those found in
cabbage leaves.

BY vote of three to two,
Imperial Irrigation district di-
rectOrs this Afternoon instructed
Charles L. Childers, chief coiin-
sci, to appeal decision of Judge
L. p. Turrentine making per-
manent the injunction prevent
ing the recall election against

peal and w. E. Young and
Evan T. Hewes opposed to it.
Adams, president pro tenn, cast
the deciding favorable vote.
In the discussion prior to vot-
ing on the motion, Hewes said
he was opposed to the appeal
because he thought it was a
waste of taxpayers money.
Carl Einhart, representing the
California Holding company
which is drilling for carbon di-
oxide to be used in the manu-
facture of dry ice' in the
Salt0n Sea area, was granted a
so day extension of time from

company and the district.
Einhart also asked a guaran-
tee that the district would gran
him a lease on private lands
upon which he is drilling and
which may be taken over by the
district for nOn-payment of
taxes.
The board voted to grant
him a lease on the same terms
as the lease now in effect be-
tween the district and Einhart
on any quarter section of land
where drilling was underway or

bon dioxide. This agreement
concerned land which may be

BACKDONN BY

Adopts ConciIiatory Attitude
Toward Russia Following Ex-
posures At Moscow.
By FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, April 18. The British
government shifted to concilia-
tory attitude toward Russia today,
and there were indications from
Downing street that England would
not maintain an embargo on Rus
sian trade if the Soviet did no more
than deport the Britons on trial
for sabotage.
The cabinet met in special ses-
sion to consider the Russian situa-
ton this afternoon. The govern
ment was holding its cards up its
sleeve, but it was intimated that
even if temporary embargo were
imposed, it would be lifted if the
Soviet permitted all the accused
Englishmen to return to Great
Britain.
The belief prevailed generally
that whatever sentences might be
imposed on those of the English
men who the Soviet tribunal con-
victed, the Russian government
would grant combinations on
basis of exile from Russia.
An additional gesture of concilia-
ton was seen in an announcement
by the foreign office that it was
considering" whether members of
the Russian trade delegation ir,
London had lost their diplomatic
status OF extraterritorial immunity
when the British Russian trade
agreement lapsed at midnight last
night.
Hitherto It had been supposed
that the delegations diplomatic
status would lapse automatically,
but the foreign office said it was
"a fine legal point" The statement
was interpreted as desire to leave
the way open for amicable settle
ment of the tense international sit
uation arising out of the Russian
trial.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Orders
have gone out from prohibition au-
thorities for thorough recheck on
new beer permits to search for hid
den racketeers.
These orders were issued by DR..
James M. Doran, commissioner of
industrial alcohol. They were the
result of the reported discovery of
a beer permit for New Jersey
brewery in possession OF a gangster
slain in Elizabeth, N. j., a few days
ago.
This revealed that gangsters in
some localities are making an effort
to get control of distribution of
legal beer, prohibitions officials
said.
Two days before legal beer went
on sale, policy of pronounced
liberality" in issuing beer permits
was laid down by the new director
of prohibition, Maj. A. V. Dalrym-

full of bringing some accord out of
the chaos of conflicting ideas, an
emergency joint assembly
committee today worked in an eff

budget.
The committee, composed of three
members of each legislative body,
was appointed late yesterday. Their
mission was explicit. They were to
bundle divergent budget balancing
programs into one measure and
thus cleave the apparent deadlock
knot which exists today on the
method of removing the states an
ticipated deficit of S49,600,000 for
the Forthcoming biennium.

companied by his request for a
