has taken from North America many
times the amount Of gold that the
Spanish conquerors took from Gen.
tral America and Mexico? She has
done this and more, and her career
Is not yet ended, for there Is lack Of
cooperation among us. That lack
naturally aided the insect.
Not until l843 was the cotton boil
weevil given any publicity. A SCI
enlist collected a few of them near
Vera Cruz, Mexico, and sent them
to Europe, where they were given the
scientific name they now bear. Still
little or no attention was paid to the
industrious worker. But in 1892 the
creature was again brought into no.
tice at Brownsville, Tex, where her
army had arrived. This was the first
knowledge OF the scouting army's in
vasion. From then on her actions
were such that by 1922 this foe had
her soldiers encamped almost over
the entire cotton growing area OF the
United States. Yet each snout beetle
is less than fourth of an inch long!
1t Is not she, but her offspring
that attacks the cotton. The mothers

well up, the destroying hosts awaken
from their slumbers and begin their
underhanded tactics. The weevils
eat into the cotton buds or squares
and lay their eggs In the holes they
have made.
Little fat, white, legless grubs
hatch from these eggs and for two
weeks spend all their time eating the
cotton bolls. Then they change to
an adult weevil and eat their way
out of the cavity In which they grew
up. There are as many as eight gen.
erations in one season. When the
Summer draws to a close the adult
weevils fly to some place nearby for
the Winter. 1t is at this time OF
travelling that new territories are
taken over and extended.

Of some one with whom one does not
want to become friends? I met q
young woman at an informal club en-
tertainment and was pleasant to her,
as l was to every one else there. This
does not mean that in any way en-
couraged her. I am not snob. but
she doesn't interest me In the least.
Ever since that evening she has been
pursuing me, and now that she met
my brother here at the house several
weeks ago she has been pursuing him.
We don't Ike to be rude, but Is there
anything we can do kindly to ward on
these advances Of hers?
Answer-The only way to save this
situation II to be out whenever she
comes, or, If you yourself happen to

but you can't see her as you must
dress and keep an appointment. And
the only way to save your brother Is
to say that he Is not home. Expert
ences like this are very unpleasant

who cannot by gentle means be made

merely means that drastic measures

spied one OF these two-legged crea-
tures over where some hens were run
ming about in farm yard not a great
way from the pasture in which the
Young Foxes were now living. OF
course, it was the farmer who owned
the hens. Her sister had not yet seen
a man, and, of course, was very eager
to see one.
One afternoon as the two young
Foxes were doing and taking a sun
bath near their new home, they were
startled by the sound Of some one ap-
preaching. They didn't wait to see
who it was. They scampered straight
to their home and down out of sight.
Presently boy came out of the bushes.
He was the boy who lived on that
farm. He saw at once that the old
Woodchuck hole with which he long
had been acquainted had recently
been cleaned out and enlarged. He
went over to examine it. In the sand
he found footprints.
"Ha, hal" exclaimed the boy. "A
Fox Is living here! There hasn't been
a Fox around here for a long time,
but there certainly is one now. I'll
have to be sure that the hens are shut
up every night. and I guess I will be
wise to keep an eye on them in the
daytime, too. A Fox sometimes is
bold enough to take hen in broad
daylight"
He looked all around, to see If there
were any tell-tale feathers around
that hole, but there were none, for
the young Foxes had been living on
Mice, Grasshoppers and couple OF
young Rabbits they had caught. After
q bit. the boy started on his way
home.
1t was long time after he had
gone before the young Foxes dared to
come out You may be sure. it wasn't
the Timid One who came out first. It
wasn't until her sister had called to
her several times that she finally ven-
tured outside.
What is it?" she asked in a timid-
sounding voice.
Come here and smell" replied the
other, who was shifting along a little
path.
The Timid One did as hidden and
Instantly was quite upset. There was
a strange scent, and somehow she
didn't know just why, there was some
thing very disturbing about that scent.
AS a matter of fact, her sister didn't
like it any better than she did. The
Timid One was for going right back
down in their home once more, but
the other wanted to find out more
about the visitor they had had, and

Doggy Fashions.

NEW YORK CP).-A perfume for
Ffdo, designed to please both his and
his owners nose, is the current rage
III the canine fashion world.
The new dog perfume comes, ap-
propriately, in a case which is fash
ioned like a small dog house.
Fashionable paraders of puppies on
the boulevardS of the Nation may now
lead on a leash "Peke" or Scottie
that gives of the fragrance of honey
suckle or forget-me-not.
This is the greatest innovation in
dog fashions since last Spring, when
matching harness was designed for
pup and owner.
The owner wore handsome and
expensive leather belt matching her
pets collar, and the two were linked
by a matching leaSfl-the advantage
of these trappings being that the
owners hands were free to make ges-
lures. clasp bundles or slip in her
escorts arm without losing her dog.

The Strange Scent.

she followed that scent. When she
reached the edge Of the pasture she
stopped. She was wise enough not to
go out into the open.
For some time she stood hidden by
the bushes at the edge Of the pasture
while she looked across to the farm
yard. She knew that that scent, that
strange, disturbing scent, led in that
direction. For long time she stood
there and at last her patience was
rewarded She saw a door open in
the farm house and out Of it came q
boy. She knew instantly that the
strange scent had been left by that
two-legged creature and that 1t was
he who had been up there in the pas
ture. Just how she knew it she couldn't
have told, but she did know it. She
knew this strange scent was the scent
of the greatest enemy of Foxes, and
that that was why it was so dis
turbing.
