Locusts
Will Swarm This
Year By Millions
Prediction For State Made
by DR.. Metcalf, State
College Expert

RALEIGH, March 81. (UP)-
seventeen-year locusts in "un-
counted millions will swarm over
North Carolina and eastern Unit
cd States this spring, in the Opin-
ION of DR.. u. P. Metcaif, ento-
molopy department head at North
Caroiina State college here.
Mctcalf said the brood to APP
near this year will be the largest
Of the l7-year brOods infesting
The country. 1t will spread from
Massachusetts to Iowa and from
Michigan to northern Georgia and
Alabama.
Explaining how the brood ap-
pears, Metcalf said:
Eggs of the present brood
were laid in 1919. Young Prubs
hatched during the summer drop,
ned to the ground and burrowed
under, attaching themselves to
tree roots. They have been there,
sucking sap, ever since. -,
"This spring that particular
group of grubs will crawl up on
the trees, shed their skins. and
change into adults with fully-de-
veloped wings" :,
Metcalf said the locusts would
do little real damage. They are
most harmful, he declared, to
young orchard trees.

MARIJUANA SMOKING
GROWING in LONDON

LONDON. March 81. (UP).-
One of the facts which has emerg-
ed from the vice-trading probe in
London is that the habit of smok-
ing doped cigarettes is rapidly
growing amoung young men and
women.
The cigarettes in question are
known as "reefers" and are made
from a certain marijuana weed,
1t is said that negro artists and
musicians introduced the habit
into this country. According to an
editorial in the MELODY Maker, /"
British dance musicians took up
the habit as a novelty and then
were unable to abandon it.
The habit then spread to the
young men and women of tint
West End "smart set" who always
are seeking new sensations. 1t is
now said that at cocktail parties
and at certain restaurants and
clubs in Soho-the foreign quar-
ter-it is q common sight to see
"reefers" being smoked and hand
ed round. ...
A Soho club proprietor admit
ted to an investigator that reef
erS" were smoked on his premises
but he had the greatest difficulty
in identifying the smokers as the
cigarettes look like ordinary ones
and it would be a serious affair if
he accused anyone wrongly of be-
ing a dope-addict. He added that
whoever was behind the racket
was making a lot of money.
The addicts get their weeds
through contacts. The contact in
turn gets them from o friend"
Thus the name of the original inn
porter is kept a close secret. His
methods are not known. The ciga-
rettes are very expensive and cost
a dollar or two for a small packet
but one weed usually sutficeS sew
eral persons who smoke it in turn.

GAINS OF new
NAVAL TREATY.
ONLY NOMINAL.
Way Is Left Open For Vir-
tually Unlimited Naval
Expansion, Is View
By JOSEPH n. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 81
UP).-The London treaty, sign
ed Thursday among the Unitct
States, Great Britain and France
was viewed by diplomatic realist!
as leaving the way open for vir
tually unlimited naval expansion
Thus only the viciSSitudeS oil
world politics and the opinion
each nation has of it's needs a
sea apparently now will step az
or slow down the beat of trip
hammers in the naval yards oil
the great powers. After January
], the nations may build rs many
shiDS as they like.
This peSSimiStic view, of course,
was confined to the backstage OBJ
ServatiOn. Norman Davis, chief OF
the American delegation in Lon
don, and Underseeretary OF State
William Phillips here declared
themselves pleased with the agree
ment. Each conceded, however,
that il did not go as far Us this
nation would have desired.
On the positive side, officials
publicly noted the following gains
from the treaty:
|. 1t proved that at least three
of the naval powers were able to
agree OF SOmething-thuS pre-
venting a lapse into absolute an
archy in the naval building feed.
=. The treaty does limit the size
of ships, if not their number.
3. 1t provides for exchange of
naval building programs among
the powers, thus letting each know
what the other is doing and so
toning down fear and suspicion.
The second point, however, is
hedged about with reservations
which greatly weaken it.
III Japan or some other naval
power not a party to the treaty,
builds a ship larger or with great
er armament than those defined
in the pact, then the signerS OF
the London agreement may free
themselves from it.
Hopes tof one concrete gain
from the REORGANIZATION OF
guns on battleships to IA inches
rather than the 10 inch limit of
the Washington treaty-appears
DINNER. This agreement will go
into effect only if Japan joins in
it. And q responsible Japanese
official yesterday viewed any def
mite commitments by his country
on this point as improbable.
Anglo American solidarity in
the threatened world naval race
was Indicated indirectly by the
exchange of letters between Da-
Wis and Foreign Minister Anthony
Eden Of Great Britain. 1t was
done with extreme dehcacy and
adrOitneSS. Davis, on leaving Lon
don, wrote Eden Il polite letter of
thanks for his hospitality, adding
that there was no prospect of
naval race between the two Eng
disappearing countries; that their
policy of parity, laid down at the
London conference of 1880, would
be maintained. Eden responded in
kind.
State department officials EN-
sphasized that this exchange of let
tiers was in no sense an official
agreement between the two coun-
tries. They were eager to avoid
the impression that it even re-
motely resembled a naval alliance
about which there has been some
speculation in recent days. And
observers found no difficulty in
agreeing.
