BEAUTY OR UTILITY

A lew weeks ago many Imperial Val

the Macon, gigantic navy dirigible, as it
scared through the night on its way to
Miami, Florida, from its base at Sunny

Ii have to choose between the brain
trust and the meddling politicians,
am going to cast my vote for the college
professors. One vote-greedy politician
can stir up more cussedness than all the
brain-trusters in Washington.
This outburst is prompted by news
dispatches from Sacramento to the eff
feet that Governor Rolph has protested
to President Roosevelt against the fed
eral intervention" in Imperial Valleys
labor troubles, and the announcement
that Thomas A. Barker, deputy state
labor commissioner is to be sent here
as state mediator.
If James Rolph Jr. and Timothy A
Reardon are so Jealous in their desire
to protect Imperial Valley against red
agitators, why didn't they take over the
job last winter when the problem of radi-
cal agitators was really serious?
Reardon spent one day here during
the pea strike, and after meaningless
gesture in behalf of the growers, he de-
parted for Sacramento.
But now that the melon harvest has
progressed to the point where there is
only remote likelihood of trouble
thanks to the cooperation of General
Glassford, Joaquin Terrazas, A. n. Jack,
Supervisor Graham and number of
other able leaders-the state administra-
tion suddenly breaks into print with the
assertion that General Glassford's pres
ence in the valley is violation of states
rights, and that a state officer is to be
sent here to do the mediating in the fu-
ture.
Under the circumstances, it looks very
much as if the whole thing is a grand
stand play on the part of Rolph-pro-
NOTED no doubt by Reardon and his other
political advisors-to oust General Glass
ford and steal what credit he can for
having saved Imperial Valley vegetable
growers from destruction. That will
make great ballyhoo for the election cam
paign next summer.
AS matter of fact there is no need
for a labor mediator in Imperial Valley
nor has there been such need for
many months General Glassford was
smart enough to recognize this fact
when he first arrived here He immedi-
ately assumed the role of a friendly on
locker whose services would be available
if needed, but who preferred to avoid
trouble. As a result, he has rendered
Imperial Valley a service, without OBJ
truding himself upon anyone.
Certainly there has been nothing in
his conduct to justify the accusation that
he has usurped the rights of the sovereign
state Of California-or Of any of its cit
liens.
1t is intimated that General Glassford
favors the holding of an election among
the workers to determine whether or not
they desire to affiliate with the red
Cannery Union.
That is untrue-and unfair to the gen.

The loss of life when burning stair

men to figure new ways to save those
who were trapped. A Frenchman test
ed out a pair of umbrellas, stoutly
made, and leaped without harm from
an upper story to the ground. He
supposed his invention would help
people who were caught in fire. but
it turned out to be of no special value
except to suggest parachute for bal
looms. eve know that a common um-
brella would turn inside out in such q
case, but the Frenchman's umbrellas
were specially made to prevent that
Ladders were used by firemen from
very early days. They were placed or

climbed them to carry down people
who were trapped.
There was danger in that, however
for the firemen might lose his balance

vised ways for people to use ropes anc

the wings you will notice that the
white spots are more pronounced, and
on the under side of the hind wing
there are seven brilliant orange spots,
some Of them with a fringe on one
or both sides, of white. All four
wings are distinctly marked on the
outer borders with white crescents,
and on the tails will be found fringes
of lovely purple. You miss half the
joy of seeing your butterfly if you
see only the upper wings. Most of
the time the under ones are far
the more beautiful and rarely do they
look anything like the upper ones.
For this reason, when butterfly folds
her wings together you think you are
seeing another butterfly, when 1t is
the exquisite underwings.
The male in this species is said
to have a slender pocket on each
hind wing along the inner border.
Here he is supposed to carry his
perfume.
The blue swallowtail Is a Southern
belle. She roams the fields from
Carolina to California, and at times
is very abundant, though rarely seen
as far north as New England. She
varies in size in different localities.
The choice food is said to be the
Dutchman's pipe, very pretty orna-
mental vine that Is planted near
porches or trellises. Wild ginger and
other plants are also food plants.
The mother selects leaf of these
plants and fastens with care, in a
cluster, dozen or more eggs. With
everything in their favor the eggs
hatch in week or two, little
brownish caterpillars, a clannish lot,
who insist on staying together. They
stand side by side, facing toward
the center, as they slowly consume

System. When they have eaten
the leaf they have the strong midrib
to cling to, as they swing onto or
stroll toward the neighboring leaf.
AS they grow older they become
less fearless and sociable and it's each
fellow for himself from now on. AS
they get more mature their appetites
seem to be never satisfied and the
result is defoliated or naked ap-
pearance of the branches.
When fully grown, the caterpillars
seek shelter wherever they can find it.
Then silken web is spun and
silken cable, used as a loop, holds
the Transforming one steady to the
object it rests upon. These chrysalis
have the habit of taking on the colors
OF the surroundings and escape notice.
II the egg was laid by a Spring or
early Summer mother, then the
chrysalis will soon make the change
to a butterfly and will be flying
about in Midsummer. She will seek
a place to fasten her eggs. This
group of caterpillars will seither
change into chrysalidS and wait until
the coming Spring, or develop into
butterflies and hibernate through the
Winter. 1t is one of the most in
teresting habits of this butterfly and
would be worth while watching to see
how far north this butterfly is q

or green. OF course. there are ex-
ceptions.
The children of the swallowtailS are,
as general rule, smooth bodied
caterpillars, with fleshy, threadlike
projections and few struggling hairs
on the surface of the skin. So. with
this to guide you, swallowtail parent
or an infant can be easily identified.
The blue swallowtail is more like
her handsome tropical cousins. The
front wings are almost black, the
metallic blue is SO dark. Two-thirds
of the base of the hind wings, as
seen from above, will be covered with
exquisite green-blue scales, which give
the metallic luster characteristic of
these butterflies. At the outer border
of the front wings there are five
to seven indistinct white spots. On
the hind wings the spots are more
easily seen.
If you look on the under side of
