PERIODIC VISIT
Entomologists Say 17-Year
Pests Are to Emerge
Late in May.

They are to be with us again this
year-the 17-year locusts.
Late in May, the entomologists
say, the insects are to emerge from
the earth where they have hiber-
mated since their last appearance in
1919.
Cicada septendeci~-in the last
word you will note seven and 10 if
you remember that much Latin-is
distinctly an insect that feeds by
sucking only juices from roots of
trees and plants.
Damage Heavy in 1919
During the 1919 visit, severe dam
age was inflicted on young orchard
trees. Eggs were laid on twigs, the
weight causing breakage to such an
extent that many trees almost were
denuded of small branches.
After Matching, the young locusts
dropped to the ground. They were
so light the fall did not harm them.
Then they began feeding and con-
tinued their activity until the time
Tor them to burrow into the ground
Tor the l1-year absence.
Timing Is Puzzle
Just how the insects time their
emergence so regularly each II years
is something scientists admit they
don't know. 1t is believed that the
largest invasion in America was in
1868.
Many superstitions prevail regard
ing locusts. The distinct wv" on
each wing is believed by some per-
SONS to portend war. Indians and
early settlers believed the coming
of the locusts heralded pestilence.
Too, 1t was believed the sting of
a locust might cause serious injury,
even death, but scientists say such
danger is purely imaginary.
Not So Good as Food
Biblical reference is made to re-
pasts of "locusts and honey" and
American Indians are known to have
used the insects as food. However,
white entomologists, who tried the
insects in soups and Stews, did not
care to repeat the meal. French
fried locusts seemed better suited
to white palates and we're said to
resemble shrimp in taste.
There isn't much one can do about
]ocusts, Frank M. Wallace, state en-
tomologist says. There are no poi
sons the insects will notice and
there are no repellant agents,
The insects cause practically no
damage except to young orchards,
Mr.. Wallace explained. He has
heard of protecting small trees by
placing cheesecloth tents over them,
but the method is costly and re-
quires great amount of work.

One Real Issue . Government Spend
ing Both Parties Center Campaigns
On Point -.

WASHINGTON-It has become increasingly
clear to political leaders of both major parties
that there is really one big fighting issue in this
campaign from a vote-getting standpoint
government spending.
That doesn't mean that more vital issues
are not involved. 1t means that the Republicans
now figure their best hope of victory lies in
plugging away on the subjects OF extravaganza,
waste deficits national debt and taxes.
It also means that Democrats, recognizing
this issue as weak point in the New Deal armor,
will fight back harder in this field than IN any
other.
1t is now possible to simplify in their essential
patterns the lines of argument the campaign
orators and propagandists will take, as follows:
DEMOCRATIC: Skipper Roosevelt has
brought the nation safely through its great crisis
at relatively small cost. The few billions spent
by the New Deal are far outweighed by the
big boost in national income and the swing back
toward prosperity.
to save 10 millions" Deficit for the current
fiscal year will be s2o97 100000 as compared
with s4 764 600 900 for 1885. showing that the
hump of expenditures has passed and that the
expenditures are definitely beginning to come
together again.
REPUBLICAN, Roosevelt promises OF de-
creasing deficits and early balanced budget are
not to be taken seriously, because OF failure 10
keep past promises of this sort. The New Deal
diverting them to the silliest types of boondog-
Cling as we'll as to political uses.
The New Deal will have increased the ma
tional debt to "a billion dollars by June and Will
steer the country into bankruptcy if given the
chance.
Current taxes, meanwhile, mostly invis-
ible and afflict the middle and poorer classes
more seriously than the rich
The Republican national committees brain
trust is still functioning although moved to
Chicago and although you don't hear much
about it.
The Brain trust" is reported to have been
responsible for the line in Governor Landon's
Buffalo speech which said During the depres-
sion private industry paid out $4,000 900
more than it took in-$20 900, 100000 that help
ed to cushion the depression and keep employ
eS working"
That sounded we'll to Landon and everybody
else until some of the New Deal brain-trusters
started pulling it apart. Senator Bennett Champ
Clark of Missouri points out that most OF the
20 billion "pay-out" was pure bookkeeping, in
cluding such items as depreciation, bad debts
depletion inventory losses and plant write
down.
The depression fine time to write such
things off for income tax purposes From 1879 10
1892 American corporations reduced their sur
plus account by Is billions, mainly by such
bookkeeping Notwithstanding to Clark.
In the same period they increased cash and
investments by $4,000, 100000. Thus many cor
porations were able to make money from day
to day and still show paper net loss for the
year.

THE COMMON GOOD

This counsel for farmers recently
came from Dean H. w. Mumford, Col
lege of Agriculture, University of 1lli-
nois. He said:
whether or not farmers intend to
improve their standard of living and
financial security, or slide into a limbo
of economic uncertainty, depends. upon
their ability and determination to more
universally recognize the value of coop
Grafton and become organized for it.
"On the other hand, agricultural CO.
operatives and other forms of farm or
ganizations cannot serve agriculture in
a large way unless they have as one of
their definite detectives the promotion
of the common good. Farmers are JUS
titled in cooperating for the purpose of
securing economic justice. But they will
destroy their organizations if they use
them to promote social or economic ag-
gression." =,

stick to the business of selling their

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Owners
of estates in Westchester, Connec-
ticut. Jersey and Long Island have
grown lake conscious. An inland
summer home without lake is as
declasse as a Hollywood hacienda
without a scrumptious swimming
pool. The craze started early this
season in the Ridgefield section.
In a few weeks several hundred
workmen were dredging a score or
more estates And the idea began
to spread like fire in dry grass.
Mostly the lakes are for the chill
dren to swim in and sail toy boats
but some have grown to the preten.
tions of acres.
A fair-sized lake, am told, costs
around $500 but there are dozen
in the hoity toity Greenwich area
that represent an outlay of $4,000
each. With the fad has grown a
group of experts. In Radio City
there is an expansive office tagged:
Artificial Lake ConSultantS."
The experts can blue print a lake
and get it in first class shape In
few weeks time. Real estate men
say the innovation has made a large
number of lakeleSs residences un-
rentable. And they further remark,
with a shrug, that lakes draw mos
quitos and other winged pests.

endurance, even though largely for

tire alone are 20 places-shoe shine
and lunch stands, gown shops and
the like-that bear the name Roxy.
In Brooklyn, Bronx and Harlem are
similar Roxy establishments. And
there's scarcely city of size that
hasn't a Roxy this or that. Incl
dentally, the name was pet term of
the showman's wife.

On West 44th street the other
monday I passed Smith and Dale,
the hurly burly comedians. They
were the originators and members
of the old Avon Comedy Four, that
vaudeville quartette that used to
stir SO many to riotous applause.
They came up from the sidewalk
ruff-scuff to be partners sentiment
ally and professionally through life.
And I understand that, through
sailing their savings in cash through
the years, they are not only prosper
Gus but have weathered every de-
preston. Many would like to see
them revive that old quartette.
Something went out of American
life when the quartette went the
way of the pug dog. Ring Lardner
was the last defender. And he. too,

heavenly choir.

Other Editors Say
OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH
ALAMEDA Times Starr

Never before have many citizens of the
United States chosen to spend their vacations
in Mexico. Every day people are leaving COM
munities throughout this country of ours for
a few weeks in the land of the MonteZumas.
OF course this marked increase in the number
visiting Mexico is due to the completion OF the
highway from our border to Mexico City.
Much good is certain to come from this in
crease in international travel. Familiarity may
breed contempt in some cases and it may develop
strong friendships in other cases, but the eco
nomic factor in this tourist movement will make
nightly for better relations between the two
republics that may in future prove
to be Of great value. AS the millions spent by
tourists from the United States swell into tens
of millions Mexico as whole is going to ac-
ouire an entirely different view of the republic
to the north. Meanwhile the North Americans
who view the stately beauties of Monterey and
the Mexican capitol will learn that Mexico is
not the nighted country many of them have
supposed.

AN INSTANCE WHERE SOME
KNOWLEDGE WAS BETTER
THAN NONE

We have read some condemnation Of a
Pennsylvania judge who, about to as
sumo a position on the criminal bench,
first sentenced himself to three days in
the penitentiary in order to know what
a prison is like. Editorialists are always
too quick to find fault, and in this
instance we believe the journalistic mote
pickers were on the wrong side, when
they condemned the action of the young
Judge. Criticism has been founded on
the contention that judges are to pass
sentence on the cold facts of case. On
the contrary, we agree with the justice
that he cannot justly weigh sentences
without having better understanding
of their value. Most of us will agree
that far too often we rule on subjects
of which we have pitifully meager
knowledge.
