Reports from various sections of the state today concerning inva- sions of insects of varied and inter- esting species would indicate a re- vival of popularity for that lovely old ballad Some Little Lady Bug is Going to Get You Some Day."
 From a little hamlet called Lon- don comes news of an influx of flying ants, while reports of the continued depradations of termites in the state are received from the Copper and Brass Research As- sociation of New York.
 Waterbury as usual, has some- thing on everybody.
 Families Flee
 Two families in one of the city's exclusive residential sections were recently driven from their apart ments by hordes of little visitors from the insect world which for some time defied identification, it became known today.
 After pest exterminators were called, all windows and doors blocked and thousands of the little buglets destroyed, several speci- mems were pickled and sent away for laboratory analysis. The exclu- sive families in the exclusive apartments in the exclusive section were gratified to learn that they had been troubled with "cimex lee. tularius."
 This was going the termite-en' tertainers one better!
 Then somebody unfortunatel, consulted the dictionary.
 Little "Cimex"
 In England, according to Web ster, little Cimex is politely knowl as a housebug." Sometimes he merely called "bug'. with that cer tain infection. In America, wher I politeness is sacrificed to descrip | tiveness, he is impolitely known a a bedbug.
 Much has been written latel. about scores being bitten by tn political bug, but here's stor. from the Copper and Brass Re search association on "Termites".
 "Termites, a tropical insect tha' invaded California several years ago and became more destructive than the 17-year locust, have spread to every state in the coun' try with the exception of the pakotas," Bertram B. Caddle, sec. retary of the Copper and Brass Research Association of New York announced today. "These winged pests" he says invade buildings and are destroying more than $50,- 000,0O0 worth of property annually
 Because of their destructive ness the United States government through the Department of Agri- culture as we'll as many state agri- cultural departments, is conduct ing extensive research in an effort to stamp them out, just as they devised means of combst:ng the

A gentlemen well toward the top of the list in the royal family of England was going to get married. The vehicle drivers were taken ov- CT the route which the procession was to follow, and all other details were worked down to polish. While the English wedding was being plan ned, man not connected with any royal family shoots his wife on her honeymoon trip, and deals in the same way with a bystander. The wedding ceremony in this instance was performed in Tia Juana, which suggests that it may have been en- tered into somewhat hastily, or at least without the deliberation that should attend a proceeding of that kind Of course, no one will argue for the necessity of wedding in which even the hack drivers per form with the regularity of West Point cadets. Indeed, a safe and sane wedding, like a safe and sane funeral, perhaps is something which should ba a5vocate5 Vet tal<inp the two instances together, the En- glish affair suggests that the mar riage of two persons should take place only after sober deliberation.

Dusty Streets Of Anchorage Being
 Oiled Stop Dust

A recent issue of the Anchorage Times states that Street Superinten- dent Oscar Miller announced that he will oil Fourth Avenue Monday, and will start the work early in the morning. He asks that all persons customarily parking cars on the street have them removed at that time and especially that those who sleep late remove the cars the even- ing before, so as not to delay the work.
 The street would have been oiled two or three weeks ago, says MT Miller, but there was no oil supply in the city and it did not arrive un- til today.
 The dust along Fourth Avenue has been a nuisance during the dry days of late, and has blown into business houses and residences, creating all kinds of difficulty in efforts to keep goods and premises clean.

At last someone has had the cour, age to say the right thing about gangsters thugs and professional. criminals. A New York police off cial instructs his subordinates to muss up the bad men, shoot accur- stely, and make things disagreeable fer them. There are many kinds of large scale movements that are suppressed readily enough, whether objectionable to the authorities. A right or wrong, when they become notable example is to be found in the case with which Washington has rid itself of the so-called "armies' that have descended upon it from time to time. If guns are effective to put an end to demonstrations hav- ing back of them nothing more dan gerous than petition and reno strance, there is no reason why. un- til the courts move with an energy not now known the thug should not be taught to respect the steel if nothing else. Let him be mussed up promptly, as the New York of ficial suggests, to the peace and good order of the community. Grim inals do not enforce demands upon their victims in courts of law. Until they do those who appeal to the sword ought to be willing to be judged by the same.

SYNOPSIS

Following his fathers criticism Of his
Idle life, and withdrawal Of financial
assistance, Hal Ireland, son Of a
wealthy banker, Is practically without
funds but with the promise of stu
alton in San Francisco, which he must
reach from New York He takes pass
age with a cross country auto party
on Share expense" basis. Other
members of the party include an at
tractive girl, Barry Trafford; middle
aged Giles Kerrigan; Sister Anastasia,
a nun; and an individual whom he In
stinct;vely dislikes, Martin Crack. Bar
rvs reticence annoys him. To Kerrigan
he takes at once, but he distrusts
Crack. He finds his intimacy with Ker-
rigan ripenng, and makes little
progress with Barry. Through mis-
understanding, at stopping place, Hal
is directed to Barry's room, instead of
his own, and they exchange kisses
Next day he tells her he loves her. She
answers that she mustn't love him,
without giving any reason. Crack bru-
tally insults Kerrigan. Hal forces him
to apologize abjectly, and his feeling
of disgust toward Crack is intensified.
On his insistence, Barry tells Hal that,
at her fathers urging, she had mar
ried a man many years older than she,
and had promised her father, on his
deathbed, to stick to her husband, mo
matter what happened" for ten years.
That was four years ago, and despite
her knowledge of her husbands un-
worthiness she is determined to keep
her promise, though admitting her love
for Hal.
