Presidenti0l Bees and
Locusts Due Together
To the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
A writer about q week ago
stated that the Cicada or l7-year
locust would be due in the Capital
this year in its 17.year periodical
visit. wonder If this can be q
mistake. The vicinity Of West
Falls Church, Va, was visited by
this insect in 1919. Its next com.
ing would be in 1936-the same
year as the Presidential election.
The din of the locust and the
buzz of the Presidential bee will
be simultaneous for June, 1886,
in this zone. Whether Washing.
ton and West Falls Church, eight
miles apart, are in the same
locust zone will be known later.
These insects exhume them
selves from the earth the latter
part of May and the first OF
June, coming from the earth in
the larva state. They crawl up
bushes and other objects, leaving
their old hulk or shell, coming
forth therefrom fully Pledged.
The males have small bells under
their wings, about one-tenth Of
an inch in diameter. These are
set in vibration by the motion Of
the wings and the legs OF the
insect.
For those interested in fishing
I will state that in 1885. I re-
paired to Capon River, a branch
of the Potomac, with a small airy
sack of locusts. I stood on q
rock, about the middle Of the
stream and fished, caught IL bass
as fast as I Guild bait and throw
in. The fish were not large but
about one pound in weight. The
locustS are q feast for the birds,
fowls and other things. I had
noticed toads ate them. I fed six
to a good-sized toad which he ate
in a very short time. Some were
male locustS, which sang as they
went down the toad's throat
their last time.
They furnish food for many
things, but eat nothinC themselves
that we know of. The period OF
their existence is about 40 days
from their Hedging, till they dis
appear. From June to July 10
or IS. Strange visitors these.

Vets Families Hungry,
A Wife Says

To the Editor Of The Times:
President Roosevelt don't want
to give the boys, the vets, the
bonus. He himself don't need
money. He is not in need. He
and his family are not hungry:
He don't care what becomes OF
the poor. Let him try to live on
63 cents a day and then let him
tell us what he lived on. All those
on relief are mostly veterans need
ing the bonus. &C.,,
If they get the bonus they
would not need relief. That's Just
why there are so many boys and
men turning themselves into
tramps. The men upon the Hill
are making excuses. trying to
keep the bonus cry going until
it's time for them to be elected
again. Then they'll drop It,
There'll be no more talk on bonus

4 YEARS ON JOB
ENOUGH FOR
GOV. NICE

Gov. Harry w. Nice will not be
candidate for reelection in 1898,
ne told members Of the Republi-
Gan State central committee of
montgomery county at q testi-
mon1al dinner last night at Con-
BreSS1onal Club. He said:
a.. This being governor is not all
us cracked up to be. I was
elected for four years last
November, and I've served all
-FOUR Of them already"
The governor asked the people
Of Maryland not to think of him
as a Republican or as in any way
connected with politics. He said
ne wanted no one to think he was
building a machine or seeking re-
election. He said he wanted to re-
tire after putting in -four years
pr constructive work as governor, 81
adding:
II would not seek nor accept
nomination to this office again,
not even If it were offered to
me on a golden platter"
Speaking Of national politics,
The governor dashed out at the
experimental policies of the
Administration in Washington.
He commented:
TT is high time we cease
experimenting and come back
to fundamental business prin'
ctples If we are going to have

Politics Seen
In Relief, Wages

To the editor of The Times:
The Presidents work scales are
not intended to itch the palms Of
organized labor. It merely opens
an avenue for local and state
politicians to go to the aid of
their constituents. This is my
Interpretation. My deduction Is
that no sane person may expect
family men to support home and
family on the announced rates.

CITY AUTHORITIES TO
WAGE WAR ON VIOLATORS

By advertisement on another page
of today's issue of the Democrat, il
can be seen that the Mayor and City
Council warns against certain viola
lions of law; these including beer
selling, Sunday barbering and grocery
trading, gambling, speeding and reck.
less driving and bootlegging whiskey
The advertisement states that COM
plants have been made concerning
the above stated violations, and the
town is determined to put a stop to
them. The Council has instructed the
police to make arrests, and all law
breakers are warned that they will
receive the maximum penalty of the
law.
Nothing but commentator can be
expressed by the public for this move
on the part of the town authorities.
All the violations above mentioned are
clearly defined by the statutes and
nobody should be mistaken as to his
obligations. The town has certainly
given fair warning.

WESTERN ELECTRIC
INCREASE SALES
y PER CENT
important Result Of The Bust.
ness Improvement Was
Employment Raise

An increase of 80 per cent in the
sales of the Western Electric Com
pany. manufacturer and supplier OF
equipment for the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company of Bal
timore City operating in the state OF
Maryland and other Bell System Com
pies, over the previous year is re-
ported to the stockholders by Edgar
S. Bloom, president. Sales of sup
plies in 1884 amounted to $91, 1907, 600
as compared with $69, 511 900 the prev
ious year. This is the first time in
five years that there has been an in
crease over the previous year.
The Western Electric Company op-
crates a large cable and wire plant
at Point Breeze, Baltimore, and sup
ply house at Washington, D. c., from
which telephones, wire, cable and as
ISOLATED equipment are distributed to
eastern cities.
Notwithstanding the increase re-
ported, the Western Electric Company
operated at less than 20 per cent ca
pacity and showed loss for the year
Of $7,751, 548, which compares with
loss of $13, 772,504 in 1888.
An important result of the improve
ment in business during the year was
an increase in the number of employ
ees. On December 81 last year the
company had in it's service 20,416 men
and women as compared with 18,446
on the same date in 1888. From June
1888, the month in which the COM
pany's employment reached it's lowest
level, to December 1884 there was an
increase of 3,268 employees, of whom
approximately IS per cent were for
merly in the company's service.
