IS crafty purpose, at that. When youngsters
have ridden in Pierce-Arrows all their lives,
motoring in ordinary cars is as ashes in the
mouth. Yet even in the most prosperous cir
cles, incomes Of young married couples are not
always what they should be. So in pricing
some models it has been our idea to keep this
younger crowd in line and not permit them to
sink back into the ranks of those who are con-
tent with less than Pierce-Arrow performance
and luxury.

thought blossomed daring decision. As an
independent management Of an independent
company, we could do as we thought best
and move fast So we determined to design
three groups of Pierce-Arrows for 1884,.
we proposed to crafty each Of these three
divergent conceptions.
Of course the basic chassis was inviolate. A
Pierce-Arrow must always be Pierce-Arrow.
Despite Pierce-Arrow's recent capture of II
world records for speed and endurance, we
could still improve the power-plant. andwf
haze. The easy-riding, the easy-handling, the
full-power brakes d.. all Of these must be
kept :. they had played big part in dou-
bling Pierce-Arrow's share Of the fne-car field
in the last few years.
But stylel Well, we gave our designers free

Ever since he has been in Wash
ington. Delegate Dimond has en-
deavored to hasten action on the
rivers and harbors and flood control
projects in the Territory which have
been approved by the army en-
gineers Several Alaska items were
contained in the rivers and harbors
bill before Congress, but that bill
was shelved when the Public Works
Administration was created.
Orally and by letter, following
set-up of the PWA, on many occa-
sions, the Delegate has urged these
projects as public works of worthy
character and suggested that allot-
ments be made for them.
However, the administration has
moved slowly in approving any
rivers and harbors or flood control
work, and this was forcibly illus
trated when Harold L. Ickes, admin
istrator of the PWA, informed the
Delegate that the problem. -. is
one on which this Administration
has not reached a definite decision"
To date, the only sizeable projects
approved are those providing for
flood control of the upper Mississippi
and the Sacramento rivers 1t is be-
lieved that when and if a more lib-
eral attitude is adopted with re-
spect to this class of work, Alaska
will share proportionately with
other sections of the country.

BARRYMORE POSES WITH
COLD STORAGE HALIBUT

In the November issue of Sunset

Barrymore Alaska cruise. A half
tone picture graces the article. 1t
depicts the noted thespian standing
alongside large halibut, which he
grips with one hand while he dis
plays a small fishing rod in the
other.
The story goes or to tell how he
landed a 450-pound halibut near
Ketchikan with fly rod. Included
in the reported bag were great
Kodiak bears, an Alaskan wolf and
an ibex Gold world horned goat.)
We happen to know the picture
was taken on the Cold Storage dock
and that Mr. Barrymore did not
make the catch. AS for the bears,
wolf and ibex, we rather imagine
they were taken on the Ananias
preserve known rather intimately to
most sport fishermen.
However, Barrymore outdid him
self when he referred 10 the Alaska

Mormon Cricket HdAS TO W0es

ONE of the pests of the early settlers, par
tcularly the settlers of the Northern
Rocky Mountain region, has come back once
more to add to the many trials of the wheat
and other cereal growers This particular pest,
the Mormon cricket was so named because of
the fact that the Mormon settlers the first
to really suffer from their voracous appetites
for grain.
Smgularly the crickets originate in the
mountain areas, particularly on uncultvated
land where the eggs laid and the young
hatch by the myriad.
The campaign of eradication is based largely
on a drive to kill the young when they first
hatch and before they have opportunity to
migrate to the wheat fields. This years drive
was centered largely in the uncultivated sec
tions of Indian reservations
The most effective way to prevent damage by
the Mormon cricket, DR.. p N. Armand of Bu-
reau OF Entomology explains, is to kill the bands
of young crickets in the wild lands where they
hatch by busting them with a mixture OF pow
dered calcium arSenite and hydrated lime. II
their migration Is not stopped in time, he con-
tnues the only way TO save cultivated crops In
their path Is to erect barriers of corrugated tin
roofing galvanized sheet iron. These BAR
riers, although effective in nalting the advance

and in killing individual insects are expensive
and difhcult TO handle.
The Mormon cricket essentially an insect of
the mountains, has been a destructive pest in
the United States since 1848, Dr. Armand says.
Only the coming of myriads of white guIIs,
which devoured the crickets, saved the crops
from complete destruction. A monument just
inside the gates Of the temple grounds in Salt
Lake City commentaries the timely arrival OF
these birds.
The Mormon cricket is always present In the
high, rugged hills of Colorado Idaho, Wyoming
and Montana. Now and then it becomes abun-
dant enough TO leave its natural habitat and
migrate, in great bands, into the cultivated
valleys. These outbreaks, as a rule last from
two to six years, until the crickets are over
come by man, by natural enemies, or by weather
conditions.
Mormon criekets usually migrate in bands
varying from the size of a city Block to square
mile or more. The bands are very dense often
with 100 TO 500 crickets to the square foot.
From the time they hatch In the Spring until
they disappear in the Fall the crickets are al
most constantly in motion. Once under way,
the band travels in a Straight line, stopping ut
nothing. If it meets board fence or a house,
1t tries to climb over the top, rather than going
around.
