Treasury Gets Back 81, 100000
Of Chinch Bug Control Money

The weather early this summer
saved the government about So, ,400,-

RODS did all that barriers costing
$2,000,000 could have done to keep
chinch bugs cut of middle western
corn fields. The federal bill for
chinch bug control this year will be
less than $4,000. according to Lee
A. Strong. chief of bureau Of en-
tomology and plant quarantine Of
the United States Department Of
Agriculture, who directed the govern
ment-state campaign against the pest.
The rest of the $2,500.000 that con-
gress appropriated for the campaign
reverts to the treasury.
Most OF the $4,000 used has gone
for barrier material. largely creosote.
A small amount will be used this
fall to determine the probabilities Of
an outbreak next year.

Are Our Eyes
Getting Weaker?
Defects of Vision Increase
With Years-Poor
Light a Cause.

When born, nearly all babies have
normal eyes. With the same kind
of care that carries them through in
fancy and childhood, happy and
healthy-their eyes should remain
normal.
But it has been found that by the
time children finish grade school, 20
per cent of them have defective vi
sion. When they have finished col
lege, 40 per cent have eye difficulties.
Forty years of age shows 60 per cent
with defective vision, and past sixty,
Is per cent are so affected.

lsed their eyes with too little light
In the daytime outdoors there is,
of course, plenty of light-the nat
ural daylight nature developed our
eyes to see by. The light from an
unclouded sky gives us 10000 foot
candles. In the shade of tree, the
light will be upwards of 1000 foot
candles. Close by a window there
may be 200 foot candles of light
shining on your book page or needle
work.
What is a foot candle? 1t is the
scientists "yardstick" of light meas
urement. The amount Of light one
candle would shine on a surface one
foot away.
But at night-that is another
storyl 1t is very common for people
to read or sew with only four foot
candles of light, where they should
have an illumination of at least 10
foot candles for the coarsest kind of
eye-work; 20 foot candles for read
Ing fine print and for sewing; 30
foot candles. for continued use of the
eyes.
Using the eyes with less light than
these minimum amounts may result
in eye-strain and possible permanent
injury to vision.
Be sure you have enough light
II you use electricity-ask your light
company to test your lamps and fix
lures to see If they give enough light
for safe seeing.
If you do not have electricity, get
one of the new 300 candle power
pressure lamps that burn kerosene
or gasoline.
When your work is held three feet
away from the lamp, the latter
should be of at least 275 candle
power intensity to assure the 20 to
30 foot candles of light you need to
protect your sight. 1t is important
that you use high candlepower

Many small bugs that did emerge
were beaten again into the soil. The
rains also promoted the spread Of a
fungous disease deadly to the pest.
Many Of the chinch bugs, which
overwintered and came through the
spring in record-breaking numbers,
probably lived their allotted span
and laid as many eggs as usual.
Had it not been for the timely
rains. these eggs almost surely would
have produced great hordes of hun

favorable to the chinch bug. Since
the small-grain harvest the bugs have
found abundant food in the natural

maturity and have flown all over the

BANTAM CLASS
HARD FIGHTER, .
ANY WEIGHT
A"I
By JOHN SNURE, Jr.


The $4,880 100000 work relief
bill passed the Senate and caus-
tic Virginian drawled his disgust.
Carter Glass, senior Senator
from the Old Dominion, the un'
willing pilot of the bill, had won
another fight-a fight for the Ad-
ministration-but had lost his own
complacence.
He is a hard fighter, this ban
tam from Virginia, and would
rather fight than eat--but he is
poor loser. And little Carter"
lost that day because he fought
for legislation he did not want.
Yet for weeks he went through
the front lines of the worst po-
litical fire because it was his job
and the struggle didn't help those
~ years, as he admits.
Explains His Stand
When it was over he explained
his Stand-not an explanation Of
apology, for little Carter" does
not apologize to any man.
When they raised Carter Glass
In Lynchburg they raised a game
bird as tough as any that are
pitted in the quiet darkness Of
Virginia nights. And, like those
game birds of Virginia, he doesn't
know when to quit.
This man who served in Wood

of the Treasury and refused to
serve in the same capacity for
Franklin Delano Roosevelt is the
Senate's most respected and most
feared man.
Conservative to the utmost de.
gree he refuses to be Swayed by
party or people.
Fear His Tongue
Men fear him for his tongue,
and when the Virginian turns
down the corner of his mouth
the Saber-like sentences are Weap-
onS none can withstand.
He has little tolerance for pow.
erty, being wealthy himself. He
owns his own newspaper, but sell
dom writes for it unless he wants
it to carry a scathing editorial.
There is no exercise for him ex-
cept his fighting, and that merely
by words. Baseball he likes, read
ing he worships, and he spends
his spare hours in that occupa.
ton, concentrating on biography.
Likes Movies, Too
Not so long ago he would lay
aside his books on only one provo.
cation. That was the movies.
Somewhat of traveller, he goes
to Europe occasionally, but once
there he splits epithets against for
eign customs.
Somewhat snobbish, he hates
snobbery. He hates parties and
all things that are called social.
Abroad last summer with Ad-
miral Cary T. Grayson, his close
friend. he refused to attend
parties. One night Admiral Gray
son insisted that he go to some
ceremony. Senator Glass refused,
claiming illness.
GraySon announced:
"Unless you 90 with me I am
going to get this famous woman
healer of England. She will fix
you up"
Admiral Grayson left and when
he came back Senator Glass was
dressed, but even more profane
than usual.
