Senator and Family Plan Quiet Summer After
 Congress Recesses

Senator Augustine Lonergan, ham kering for the surf bathing and the shore activities of Connecticut, fi- nally has solved the problem of how to get his recreation while congress remains in torrid session this sum- mer.
 He has leased house at Ocean City, Md, and sent his family there.
 When the sena;e recesses for the weekend, Lonergan hops in his car in time to make the last Matapeake, Md, ferry.
 Sunburned and with a tang of salt air about him, he returns the fol- lowing Monday.
 But Lonergan and others are hankering after a real vacation, T daily dips in the surf, relaxation on the sand and an occasional un- troubled snooZe on a shaded ver- anda.
 There are more adjournment pools" at the Capitol than you can shake stick at. Most guesses range from August to September IS, with mid-August the most favored.
 But there are a few pessimists around the corridors who mourn fully forecast congress will be in session until January.
 Most court plan opponents have sent their families either home or to resorts for the summer.

Following the decision of Judge Ernest A. InJlis, who refused to sustain a tempN-ary injunction com- polling Superintendent of Police William J. Roach to grant permit for the showing of the motion pie ture Spain In Flames" it is prob able that the previous resolution of the Lithuanian Independent Politi- cal club which disapproved of the superintendent's action will be re- scinded at a meeting to be held to- night at the home of the organiza- ton at 48 Green street.
 The L. I. P. club was one of three local organizations which went on record & month ago as being in favor of showing the picture at Temple hall July 22nd and issued a resolution stating their reasons, cop ies of which were forwarded to Mayor Frank Hayes and also to Superintendent Roach.
 It is generally believed that the movement had considerable opposi- ton within the ranks of the club which comprises about 800 members, and was said to have been adopted at a gathering which included only a small representation. Thomas Matas will preside at tonight's meet ing which will begin at o'clock.

Always a Threat, 'Hoppers Were Forged
 Into Scourge By Sunshine And Warmth
By NEA service

By NEA Service
 Thousands of midwestern farmers to whom the promise of bumper crops" came this spring as a well come relief from long years of bar ren drouth, now are watching with anxious interest the outcome of Colorado's battle against an in- vading horde of srasshoppers.
 Ideal incubation conditions = warm, dry weather -- have made Colorado the focal point from which destruction may spread, in widening circles, according to the vagaries of a fickle wind. Nearly 20,O0O square miles of plains land are infested. State college en- tomologists estimate an average of 257 grasshoppers to the square foot in some areas.
 Eggs Laid Last Fall
 Where did this vast, destructive army come from2 a
 Last fall, just before winter ended her brief half-year life span, the famale grasshopper set- tied on the ground, inserted her extended abdomen into the soil and laid her eggs, sometimes as many as Al, in the tunnel thus formed. Throughout the winter these eggs lay dormant, in the pod" or gelatinous sac provided by the female. With the advent of warm weather, however, they germinated and soon emerged, small and wing less, but none -the-less hungry re- productions of their parents.
 The grasshoppers do not under go the grublike larval stages char acteristic of moths and butterflies, but come from the eggs as fully de- veloped individuals, lacking only wings.
 For the past few months they nave been growing, shedding their ikins as they outgrew them, and 'apidly approaching the time when hey take flight, to range for hun ireds of miles a potential and in-

 Like giant specter of desola- tion and want, the grassh0pper plague strikes Colorado farms, bigger than in the fanciful trick photo above, if their size was pro- portioned to their dcstructiveness. The small picture at right shows how the female burrows into the ground to lay eggs that He dor mant all winter, hatch the follow ing summer into new plague of destruction. tensely real menace to every farm in the Missouri-Mississippi valley.
 Winter Brings Death
 Appearance of wings, usually within 40 to 60 days from their matching period, brings the hopper to the adult stage, ready to repro duce and await the coming of win ter and death.
 The majority of the pests now ir1- festing Colorado arc of the species known as the lesser migratory grass hopper, reddish brown, with dis tinct patch of black on the back or collar and averaging about one inch in elngth. Despite its small size, 1t Is strong fiier and is capable of in- flicting vast damage to crops.
 Many Varieties
 Other varieties which also may be found include the different!al grasshopper, distinguished chiefly by yellowish color and clear glassy hind wings. Distinct black chevron markings on the hind legs also iden- tify this species. The two-striped hopper, characterized by two yellow stripes along each side of brown back, finds its natural habitat in the greater portion of the midwest. The red-legged species, reddish brown above. and yellow underneath, also is widely distributed.
 No living plant. in the path of an invading horde of grasshoppers, can escape. Relentlessly the pests devour crops wholesale.
 Tall Tales" True
 And the tall tales" the elders tell of finding rake and pitchfork ham dles eaten away are undoubtedly true. But 1t is the salt, left by per- spring hands, not the wood, that the 'hoppers teed them.
 Natural enemies-birds, flies and certain species of wasps-are pow erless to cope with a widespread in- festation, although they are effective in controlling the pests under ordtn- ary conditions.
 Man must rely on poison baits- mixtures of poison, brain, rnolasses and sawdust-to cheek the pests be- fore they le,.ve the ground. Once the migratory flights begin, little can be done to avert the damage the 'hoppers are certain to inflict.
 That is why the hopes of the mid- west for abundant crops rest now upon the outcome of the valiant battle of Colorado farmers against the army, which portends even greater havoc for the farmer than the years of drouth.

Spotlighting Brass City News
Three 'TOOts'

Several weeks ago the Cover rlor's Street and Highway Safety Committee and Commissioner Michael A. Connor of the State Department of Motor Vehicles called attention of motorists to the number of complaints being re- ceived concerning one-light cars.
 Consequently, motorists were requested to signal approaching cars with only one light by sound ing three short blasts on the horn.
 This plan according to letters directed to the State Department Hf Motor Vehicles is successful and has been adopted by many motorists.
 An appeal is now made to those motorists who have not adopted this plan to do so. Records indi- cate that many night time acci- dents are caused by cars with only one light.
 Signal cars with only one light and if you receive such a signal from an approaching car, have the fault corrected at once.

ILLINOIS DECLARED
Alder OF GOPHERS
Upset Victor Over Northwestern
Softens Wildcats for Game
With Minnesota.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 9.-If Mime
apolis gallops over Northwestern
Saturday the Gophers will owe some
kind OF thanks to the fighting Illini
and their willy coach, Robert Carl
zuppke.
Illinois hasn't the greatest football
team in the Midwest, but they've quail
1f1ed as one Of the best tough-team
"softeners." They whipped North
western. 6 to 0, last Saturday. and
the Wildcats, because Of that hard
fought upset defeat, won't be quite
the same for the remainder of the
season.
Mike Calvano, Don Guritz and Err
win Wegner, all regular linemen, are
nursing injuries which will keep them
out OF the Gopher battle.
Early in the season the Illini were
held to a scoreless tie by strong De-
paul, and week later Depaul was
knocked on by Illinois Wesleyan. Then
Illinois held Notre Dame to q score
less deadlock, and the Irish, a week
later. were tripped by Carnegie Tech.
The Illint came through the North
western game in good shape, and will
be at top physical strength for Ohio
State.
Minnesota's regulars were given a
rest as a reward for their win over
Iowa and for the next three days will
practice in secret.

Goodman Follows Advice.

lust after he won the open cham
pionship at Chicago in 1888, some
of his pro friends came to him and
told him that good as he was then, he
couldn't keep On winning unless he
changed his swing. They said that no
top golfer can keep on playing for a
hook and get away with it forever,
and they advised him to make certain
minor changes in his swing that would
result in hitting straight ball.
John then was the open champion,
the boss of them ALL But he took
their advice, changed his stance a
little, adjusted his swing and began
splitting the middle of the fairways
with ball that never left the line,
played without hook or a fade.
John told a recent gathering Of
pros at Chicago that having followed
the professional advice he believes
himself to be much better player
now than he was in 1888, when he won
the open championship. Personally
we believe John Goodman to be the
most consistently straight hitter
among the amateurs, and he isn't
short, either, Notwithstanding his
comparatively short stature, and con-
sequent lack of leverage.
