|NANT|S HORDES
INVADE D. c.

A. ferocious-lookin insect four
inches long Has invaded Wash
ington.
This was revealed following
discovery today Of an "egg mass"
attached to a tree in West
Potomac Park containing several
thousand embryonic Chinese
"mantis." The eggs were found
by Irwin N. Hoffman, naturalist
for Public Buildings and Parks.
According to Smithsonian Mu-
scum entomologists, the mantis
will prick a person but is not as
ferocious or dangerous as it ap-
pears. The insect resembles an
enormous grasshopper. It's pres
ence Is welcomed here as it feeds
on plant lice and other parasites.
One was found here in 1880 by
q. K. Brush, jr., Of the 21O0
block o st. N. W., but until. to-
day no signs Of the insects breed
ing as far south as washington
had been detected.

Able Lemaitre, here to lecture

Capone learned Of the shooting
of his former lieutenant through
tie afternoon newspapers. On
the day the Chicago police shot
Nitti, Al was In the big cell that
he occupies with seven other
prisoners.
Glaring headlines conveyed to
him:
'CapOne lieutenant shot down
by Chicago police"
Tears welled up in his eyes, for
at the time 1t appeared Nitti'S
wound would be fatal. Capone
said:
poor Frank, he sure was q
swell guy. Why, he wouldn't
harm anybody. And they shot
him in the hack! They'll pay
for this. No copper is going to
shoot up one Of my friends and
get away with it. That copper
will get his at the proper time"
For days Capone talked about
the shooting of his ally. He
read all that was available In
the Atlanta newspapers about it
and waited impatiently for the
arrival Of the Chicago papers
with more complete details. He
was immensely relieved that
Nitti's wounds did not prove
fatal. ....-

FARMERS CHIEF
SEES REVOLT
WITHIN YEAR
Bureau President Tells Senate
Probe Relief Is Alternative
To National Revolution

A revolution viii sweep the
country in IL months unless the
farmers plight is relieved, Ed
ward A. O'Neal, president Of the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, declared today at Senate
hearings on the domestic allot-
ment plan.
O'Neal indorsed the allotment
bill which has passed the House.
He said:
1--WE originally did not favor
too many commodities in this
emergency measure. / see NO
reason why peanut growers
should come In" n
o,Neal told Senator McNary
(R.) Of Oregon, chairman OF
the Senate Agriculture Commit
tee, that ''it would be Q mistake
to confine the bill to cotton and
wheat"
Tax On Professors
| The bill designates wheat, cot
ton, rice, peanuts, tobacco, but
ter fat, ana hogs as "basic COM
modities" and seeks to guarantee
q flair exchange value" for these
products on the domestic mar
ketS.
Prices would be stabilized by
adjustment certificates" issued
to producers and redeemable by
the Federal Treasury.
Professors would be taxed to
pay the cost of the certificates.
A 20 per cent slash in produc-
ton would be sought the first
year by withholding benefits Of
the act from farmers who re-
fused to reduce their output. 4,
O'Neal urged revaluation Of the
gold dollar, but committee mem
berS quickly directed him back to
the problem Of crop Surpluses.
Holds Bill Workable
He believed the measure "is
workable in It's present form, but
some Of its provisions might well
be changed"
There would be no need Of q
police system" to see that
farmers carried out their agree.
ments to reduce production. The
witness insisted.
Senator Smith Cd of South
Carolina asserted that the allot-
ment plan would be Of little help
to the cotton farmer, since it
would apply only to the 90 per
cent Of his crop marketed In the
United States. He said:
'The tendency Of this bill
would be to destroy the export
market for our cotton, amount
ing to 60 per cent Of the total"
O'Neal said the only possible
method for the United States to
influence world cotton prices
would be through reduction Of
acreage, asserting "the world takes
a certain amount Of American cot
ton, whether the price is 6 cents
or 20 cents"
John A. Simpson, president Of
the Farmers Union, admitted the
bill was a ''price-fixing measure"

FIGHT ON PLAN
LAID At DOOR
lOF BANKERS
Senator, Stung by His Defeat,
Says Reed Is Ignorant"
Of Measures Aim

gmarting under the Senate's
rejection Of the "16 to /" silver
issue, which william Jennings
Bryan took to the nation in
1896, Senator Wheeler CD Of
Montana this afternoon warned
his colleagues the country must
remonetize silver or issue fiat
paper money.
Wheeler claimed international
bankers led the opposition to the
reconciliation of silver. He de-
clared Senator Reed (R0 Of
Pennsylvania, who charged the
Wheeler plan would peg the
price Of silver, was ignorant Of
the bills true purpose"
He said his "16 to /" bill
would increase the amount of
money in circulation, but would
not peg the price Of silver.
Glass Bill Resisted
The Senate today struggling
against deliberate resistance to
pass the Glass banking reform
bill. >,
A group Of Insurgents, led by
Senator Long, Louisiana king
fish" slowed down the Senate's
legislative machinery by debating
an endless list of amendments.
They denied any intent to fill
buster against the bill, but their
parliamentary tactics were calcu-
lated to waste time.

"I'm trying to hasten q final
vote but / want to see some
Of the imperfectiOns in this bill
corrected" "
Administration leaders sup
ported Senator Glass CD Of Vir-
ginia, so-called father Of the bill,
in battling for a final vote. They
held the Senate in. session until
10 O'Clock last night. Another
like session was in prospect today
with so or more amendments
pending.
AffiIiates Chief Issue
The question under considera-
ton revolved around the section
which would describe affihateS Of
444g4Ok46b4 Uos44Aos EA4AOO44C1 0CSV4SA1
would order national banks to
divorce all affiliates within five
years.
Long and his cohorts Joined
with Senator Kean (R.l Of, New
Jersey in attacking the definition.
They charged it would brand
railroads, department. stores, in
Sllrancet companies, and even in
dI1strial concerns aS affiliateS Of
national banks.
The disputed section described
affiliateS as any concern in
which majority of the directors
also were directors Of any ma
tional bank.
The important phase of this
contest was that national banks,
under terms Of the bill, not only
would have to divorce their.
affiiateS but would be barred
from making loans to them.
Both Long and Kean offered
amendments to this section to
strike out the language about
directors. Glass opposed the
change.

ANNUAL INCOME

40 BILLIONS
Economist Backs 80 Hour
Week; Lays Present Con-
ditionS to NationaIiSm

The United States Is producing
$40, ,OOO, 900 900 less income a year
now than in 1929, Prof. George
r. Bigge, economist of brown Uni
versity, told the Senate Judiciary
Committee today while indC rising
the proposed 30-hour week bill.
Prof. Bigge declared excessive
competition was causing the dis
charge of thousands of men. He
said:
"There is too much -lveSt-
ment in a number of industries
and the excessive competition
under such conditions causes
employers to do what they
would not dO-that is, to dis
charge thousands Of men, and
thereby reduce the domestic
market for their own and other
product"
Opposes Federal Loans
Prof. Bigge opposed Govern
ment loans to industry because
loans are used mot to induce
manufacturer to produce new
wants but to supply old wants
more cheaply." He declared mar
kets must be expanded or labor
must be distributed more equit-
ably. He was asked:
"What would happen If we do
not reduce the hours Of labOr?"
He answered:
81 hesitate to face it. The
five-day week seems to be q part
Of the necessary approach to
the problem. But the only
danger Of it alone, is that it
may tend to stagnatiOn unless
industry creates new wants and
thereby creates more employ.
ment."
BIames NatiOnalism
Prof. Biggs blamed postwar ma
tionalistic policies and the ma
chine age for the nations
economic ills. He said Canada
and Great Britain formerly great
customers Of America, were shut
ting out American goods due to
nationalistic policies. The ma
chine age, he added, has helped
capital for more than labor.

LIFE IN THE NORTH

The Greeks had notion that
everything grew smaller as we Went
farther north, and that finally life
disappeared completely. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
Well above the Arctic circle there
are forests of trees that are more
than a hundred feet high. The Es-
kimos are not perhaps as tall as
Americans or Scotchmen. but they
are quite up to the average of Ital
ians and Frenchmen. The Arctic re-
gions, far from showing no signs Of
life, TEEN with many varieties OF
birds, sea animals, and fish. The
polar bear certainly is not puny
specimen of life. Still another ex-
ploded theory is that billiards are
more fierce at the pole than any
where else. Mr.. Stefansson was Of
the opinion that the billiards OF
Montana, North Dakota and Mani
toba are far more severe than those
of the Arctic.-Detroit Free Press.

MAKING BEST OF
SUNNY HOURS OF
THE PERFECT DAY

Nothing said Goethe, "is more
difficult to bear than a series OF per-
feet days"
good many of us now would be
glad of chance to test that state
ment.
We should be glad of a series OF
perfect days" even though the bless
Ing should prove quite unbearabler
In fact in these days of stress and
strain and uncertainty for all of Us,
the idea of perfectly smooth sailing
with no difficulty or trouble or con-
Germ of any kind is entirely attrac-
tive. 1t would take even more than
the eloquence of Goethe to convince
us that we should find an untroubled
world difficult to beari'
The great authors idea, of course,
Is that some difficulty, struggle, set
back, add Zest to life. That it Is
fun to overcome trouble. That a per-
feet day yields it's full measure of
pleasure only because of our recol-
lection of the rainy day. And the
thought that comes TO most of us
is that given sufficient perfect days
to wipe out the recollection of the
dark days, we humans Immediately
set about supplying ours own clouds
and darkness-in the form of petty
frictions and irritations which shadow
our world quite as effectively as real
trials and troubles. And they do
not compensate with the ennobling
influence of real trials-the soul
purging, the broadening of viewpoint.
the gift of philosophy, which help US
to put to better USE for the happi-
ness of ourselves and our loved ones,
the golden hours of the perfect days,
when these do come along.
We are not to be scared off the
perfect days" In fact we are try
ing our hardest to WOO them back.
And / wonder if when they come we
shall have profited sufficiently from
the difficult times so that we shall
indeed know how to use them TO en-
joy and to disseminate happiness, so
that the good times may never again
be difficult TO bear?
