LOCusts
Are Due in State
Coming Summer

College Station, Raleigh, March "a
Uncounted millions of 17-year locusts
will swarm over most of the eastern
United States this spring, DR.. z. P.
Metcalf, head OF the department of
entomology at State College, said here
today
The brood to appear this year is the
largest Of. the 17-year locust broods
now infesting the country, he stated.
1t will extend from Massachusetts to
Iowa and from Michigan to Northern
Georgia and Alabama.
In North Carolina the locusts will
be found mostly in the mountains and
foothills, though the brood has been
recorded as far east as Wake county.
Eggs of the present brood were
laid in 1919. Young grubs Matched
that summer dropped to the ground
and burrowed under. They attached
themselves to tree roots and have
been sucking sap ever since.
This spring the grubs will crawl up
on the trees, shed their skins, and
change into adults with fully deve-
loped wings.
The males will fill the air with a
drOnlng song that attracts great
deal of attention where they are found
in large numbers.
The department of entomology at
State College is anxious to get COM
plete record of the brood in North
Carolina, and is appealing to people
in the mountain and Piedmont areas
to report on the locusts and send
specimens, when possible, in a strong
pasteboard box.

RIVER MAY RISE
OVER SEA WALL
Overflow Off Hains Point
Expected Today-Upper
Basin Ice on Move.
picture on Page Biz

Nearing "bankfull' stages in the
Upper Basin, the Potomac was ex-
pected to overflow the sea wall off
Hains Point along the Washington
shore this afternoon.
The inundation will not reach
dangerous proportions, according to
the Weather Bureau.
Swept downstream from Hancock
and Williamsport, Md, swirling tor
rents of ice are expected to mass at
Great and Little Falls either late to-
night or early tomorrow.
Little Falls was jammed with crags
of ice this morning. while the water
in the gorge below Great Falls was 20
feet above normal.
Ice jams also were created between
Chain and Key Bridges, but they were
not believed of serious nature.
Rise to Continue "a Hours.
An official report from the Rivers
and Floods Division of the Weather
Bureau said rising stages will con-
tinue during the next "a to So hours" "
Observers reported the river was
close to bank full at Harpers Ferry
and Sycamore Island.
What actual stage the high water
reaches overnight and tomorrow. ex-
perts held, will depend on the move
ment of the ice. If it jams high,
floods may result along the Washing
ton shore; if not the Potomac will
carry off the foes and stay within its
banks
Most of the ice appears to have
moved out of She Shenandoah, the
Weather Bureau said, but floating ice
is apparent in the Potomac below
Cumberland.
Heavy Rainfall Doubted.
Rain that started this morning was
expected to stop this afternoon. A
heavy rainfall would have increased
the dangers of a flood here. The
maximum temperature this afternoon
will probably be about A degrees, the
forecaster said. but tomorrow will be
somewhat colder.
A rise of 16 feet in five hours
occurred at Williamsport overnight.
the river swelling from feet above
normal at 10 pm. to l8 feet at am.
The elevation was caused by the
formation of a gorge. which was
broken early today. The high water
began receding Immediately after the
break.
Hancock residents moved their be-
longings last night when the low
sections of the town were inundated
by the overf1owing Potomac. The

other dramatic note into the hearings
today. As the committee prepared to
continue yesterdays questioning of
witnesses on proposed changes in the
copyright laws, Hill arose and asked
for few minutes to speak in behalf
Of the A. s. G. A. p.
Describing early hardships before he
became known as writer, Hill told
Of going to Gene Buck, president Of
A. s. G. A. p, for help. In a low
voice he brief1y expressed appreciation
for what Buck had done for him and
left the floor. Buck, in an emotional
voice, acknowledged Hill's tribute.
Questions this morning centered on
the $3.50 infringement penalty which
the A. s. @. A. p. wants retained in
any revision Of the 1909 copyright
act. The Duffy bill, it is claimed,
would destroy A. s. c. A. P. through
the elimination of this clause. Rep
resentative Deem of Georgia questioned
Nathan Burkan. legal counsel of the
A. s. G. A. p.
Deem sought to compare the in
ventors Of automobile parts to COM
posers and asked If taxi owners should
pay q license fee to all owners OF
hacks. Burkan replied that, unlike
hotel owners and broadcasters, who
produce music In carrying on their
business, taxi drivers do not manu-
tacture taxis.

LONDON, February 27.-Italy. un-
derstood to be baking at the continu-
alton of League of Nations sanctions
against her. advised the British gov-
ernment today that she was not ready
to sign any new naval treaty with
Great Britain, France and the United
States.
Following a meeting between British

eminent issued a statement which
read:
owing to technical difficulties, such
as the question of the size of battle
ships and the gap between battleships
and cruisers, as well as because of diff
ficulties of procedure, the Italian
delegation intimated they were not
ready to sign a treaty at the present
moment"
A British spokesman explained that
this did not mean Italy's withdrawal
from the conference or the end of
the meeting.
It was understood that the Italians
told the British they were not ready
to proceed until the question of sane
tions was settled and it became clear
what the League powers were going
to do next week at Geneva.
Following the Anglo-1talian con-
ference, the British and the French
