\ WALKING SICK.

dressed in a uniform Of pale-greenish
yellow. Here the youngsters may be seen
moving about on their high, stilt-ltke
legs, but flatten out If disturbed.
In six weeks they have molted twice,
staying the same color, and at this time
are fully grown. The pretty green color
now becomes dull, and at last the walk
ing stick is dressed in brown.
You can see the reason for this at
once. While they are young the grass
about them is green, and as they grow
older they are seeking the tree trunks
and are dressed to match their sur
roundings
When the foliage changes its colors
in late Autumn the walking sticks blend
with the colors of the leaves. When all
the leaves have departed the walking
stick, with his long legs stretched out
in front, has the appearance OF a twig.
The females are much larger than tne
males, and the latter sometimes do not
bother to change their Spring color.
There is but one generation each year,
and the insect hibernates In the egg
state. Cold weather takes of the older
generation.
In spite Of its protective coloring and
its ability to initiate the twigs about 1t,
this creature never becomes abundant.
Evidently the walking sticks do not TOOL
their enemies and are gobbled up. They
could become q problem II their num-
bers increased suficiently. They are
great consumers Of leaves Of plants and
trees, from the time they are born until
they perish with the cold.
In only q few instances have they
become numerous enough to create any
impression on the reading public. In the
year 1898 vast numbers Of them at
lacked the black walnut forest IN Weat-
ern New York. At that time the mother
laying eggs that the dropping OF them
on the leaf-covered ground was sum-
ciently heavy to sound like . shower OF
rain.
! The efforts Of the egg layers were In
vain The ground was burned over dur
ing the Wintertime and the alternating
eggs were destroyed.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

The food for the horse and the COW
The farmer no longer need rise from
his bed
With the earliest gleam Of the sun.
With a modern machine
From the earth he could CLEAN
Ten times what his granddad had
done.
Today he has freedom and leisure and
ease,
And abundance of time for repose,
But he finds but small charm
In conducting his farm,
For no one will buy what he grows.
Some way must be found to afford him
relief
Both farmers and statesmen allow
To tighten his load
And maNA easy his road,
But nobody seems to know how.

What's to Do About It?


In the days when our ancestors had to
step out
At the earliest crack Of the dawn
To harvest the oats
And look after the shoats
Till the last streak of sunlight was
gone,
As well as to garner the wheat and the
rye,
To hoe the potatoes and beans,
They'd have shouted "Hooray!"
Had they known that some day
Such work would be done by ma
chimes.
The age Of invention at last came
along;
The tractor was hitched to the
plough,
And it needed Scant toll
To extract from the soil

SUMNER WELLES'
RECALL SECUTED
Latin Temperament Blamed
for Flare,up in Cuban
Matters.
BY GEORGE H. MOSES

Former Senator from New Hampshire.)
The reaction from Cuba is wholly
natural and it is even more natural
that 1t should find expression at Wash
ington In a demand for the resignation
of American Ambassador Sumner B.
welles.
There has always been a group of
men in the American Congress who
have held radical views regarding the
course to be pursued in Cuba. At one
time. 1t was seriously proposed that a
congressional committee should visit
the island to examine into the admin
istration Of Cuba's courts and to try
to set up reforms in Cuban justice.
Wiser CounseIs Prevailed.
Wiser counsels prevailed, however,
and Senate committee took testimony
here, centering its interest in the
famous Barlow case.
This episode ran to great lengths and
1t was one of the main causes of the
growing American discomfort with the
regime of the former President, Gen.
Gerardo Machado. In fact, the Barlow
case has not yet been settled.
The invasion of the Cuban courts.
which was and still Is proposed, is a
wholly untenable scheme, constituting
a violation Of sovereignty to which no
government could assent. 1t will be
remembered that Austria in 1914, made
a similar demand upon Serbia and that
it was so arrogantly pressed by the
Vienna cabinet that it became one of
the prime motives in bringing Russia
to the defense Of its beleaguered fellow
Slavs.
Temperament Factor.
The Importance of the present flare
up in Cuban matters lies in the fact
that the Pan-American temperament is
highly susceptible.
However. the incident will probably
be composed to use a diplomatic term.
Welles will not be recalled. He was
taken from the State Department and
sent to Cuba sorely against his will. He
has had a hard job in Havana, but he
has done it pretty well. Counsels of
moderation will prevail, but periodic
outbursts from Cuba must always be
expected.

filled the air with hoots, cat calls and

Logan shouted to United States mar
shalS to get the names of the disturbers

The marshals made no move to get

Walk Out Together.
Broussard and Rightor walked out to-
gether after Senator Long had testified
for an hour on how he played politics
in Louisiana and concluded by giving
each of the Seators copy Of his book
Every Man King"
Long said every effort had been made
to intimidate him and his political fol-
lowers in Louisiana and that q million
dollars had been spent by his opposition
He said during the Hoover administra-
ton 1l6 internal revenue agents had
spent year in Louisiana trying to get
something on him and they worked with
the investigators the Special Senate
Committee had sent into the State.
While I was in the Senate / would
have people tell me all kinds of things
about what would be done to me If /
didn't do certain things" said Long.
"But they didn't frighten us and have
not wavered from my course. They
didn't find thing on me and this COM
mittee has been probing here for year
and not thing has been brought before
them"
When he launched into discussion
Of the dummy candidate situation in
the Overton campaign. he was inter-
,rupted by cries of liar" and cat calls.
He said Broussard had more dummy
Overton's largest majority came from
the precincts where there were no dunn

Challenges Testimony.
In the midst Of Longs testimony.
Rightor said he had been instructed by
his client, Brousssrd, to say that Sen
ator Long was t.stifying with false
hoods, and that he knows they were
false"
Later Williams took the stand and
said Long had "lied" about dummy
candidates. He said in New Orleaus
Broussard had four dummy candidates
and the other side had 81 and Brous-
sard had 200 commissioners against the
others lilo.
Holland charged the committee
with attempting 10 close the in
vestigation without going into evi-
dence,'' and that Chairman Connally
was yellow" and was staying in Texas
on some slim excuse, so he could
sneak in here, after the hearing had
got down to routine"
Connally said Hollands statement
was vile, scurrilous and untrue, and
that Holland knew he would be in New
Orleans on Tuesday, when he made
that statement"
Before RigIltor and Broussard walked
out Of the hearing, Logan apologized to
Rightor, saying his nerves were
frayed," and that he would gladly turn
the investigation over to Thomas.
Logan said it was apparent to him
that an effort was being made to run
the committee out of town, but the
investigation would be held although
the committee is getting mo help from
any one in Louisiana"
