Louisville. Ky.: A woman. trying
to open a jar of preserves with a
kitchen knife. cut cash from her
chin to her ear when the knife slipped.
One could go through insurance
company reports and read accounts
like these all day long But the net
result of studying the details of seven
cases or seven hundred - would
simply be firm conviction that peo-
pie are pretty dumb in their handling
of broken glass and crockery. sharp
tools and implements.
So foolish, indeed, that cuts rank
second only to falls in the annual toll
of nearly 5000. 900 home accidents -
a list which includes only those mis-
haps requiring the services of a doctor
or laying up the victim for at least
half day.
There are probably a hundred times
as many less serious cuts that never
assume the dignity of statistics. Yet
the treacherous phase of this particu-
lar type of injury is the fact that so
many trivial ones become grave when
infection sets in.
Punctures are especially risky be-
cause they don't bleed freely and are
difficult to clean. Hence the best course
with such wound is to 60 immedi-
ately to a doctor for a tetanus anti:
toxin.
Scratches, likewise, merit prompt
antiseptic treatment - yet most peo-
pie dismiss them blithely with the
thought, "Oh, it's nothing" The
fallacy of that mock bravery is best
demonstrated by the Brooklyn house
wife who knicked her left thumb on a
can of fruit she was opening. The
scratch was barely an eighth of an
inch long, 50 she ignored it until the
thumb, then the hand, and then the
forearm began to ache
BY the time she finally complained
about it. infection was well under
way: before she consented to see a
doctor, she was in such a bad way
that she was rushed off to q hospital

the four wings.
Deubel said that he had collected
specimens for the King of Saxony
from Spain and Algeria. Tunis. Italy
and the Riviera. But now he imports
from other collectors. They send him
specimens from almost every part of
the world.
Some from French Guiana were
bought from Devils Island convict
with whom Deubel corresponded -
addressing not by name. but by num-
Der. Other specimens come from as far
away as Borneo, from as near as
California.
He showed me a cigar box full of
the "owl' butterfly of Brazil. another

formaldehyde. But how he mixes these
together to form his own secret COM
positions - this is strictly his own
business.
The secret formula makes the wings
flexible as we'll as tough, 50 that he can
fit them in place on heel and then
cover them with the stuff that looks
like cellophane but which is really
something else - patented mixture
of gums. 1t took him eight years to
perfect the method. When the wings
arrive from collectors they are merely
sun-dried. and extremely brittle They
must be picked up with forceps or they
will crumble in your fingers. Deubel

4 RoToRIsrs who roam the roads
WI leading to New Jerseys sea-
8V coast resorts would never
notice small frame house on a dirt
road just behind Atlantic Highlands.
But if they stopped there, they would
find more beauty concentrated inside
its walls than anywhere else on the
whole shore. The man who was once
entomologist for the King of Saxony's
museum lives there. And in the parlor,
bedroom and a very small work room.
all flooded with light, he keeps about
$1,000 butterflies.
There is nothing to diffezentiate
his house from Others on the road, no
sign to tell his present business. 1t is
not q museum, nor is he any longer a
collector. He has found it expedient to
turn his knowledge Of entomology and
his love for Gorgeous color into some
thing that people will buy. With
butterfly wings he decorates the heels
of ladies' shoes, ornaments buckles.
brooches, pins.
went in wondering how such a
fragile substance could be worn on
that part of the wardrobe which must
give the most service - the heel.
Karl Deubel showed me. In the psrlor
a froup of girls sat around a table
clipping wings and paper and slips of
what looked like cellophane. The girls
were all young: the sun poured on
them from many windows. and also
struck the sparkling fiecks of color in
their hands. Color burned everywhere.
Springtime seemed to crowd in. dis
titled and bright as an extravagant
boCealis.
Upstairs Deubel showed me the
bedroom. which, because. of the orna-
ments laid in rows on the bed. was
brighter than the parlor. Twinlkling
heels. shoe buckles, hat pins. brooches
were spread out - all of them made
with butterflies. 1t seemed to be in
line with the new vogue for wearing
giant jewelry such as gold spiders,
flowers or bees.
The butterfly ornaments suggested
the work of Cellini, who might have
taken many days to fashion just one
out of gold and silver and jewels. But

which someone has written a number
in India ink. This butterfly. like the
prisoner of Devils Island. has a num-
Der for its name: it is called simply
the '88"
What looked to me like autumn
leaves stuffed another box: doubtless
they will be popular this coming fall.
But they are not real leaves. They are
wings in every shade of autumnal
brown and gold - the leaf butterfly
of Java. The points of its wings look
like stems 50 that. hanging in foliage
of the same color, it cannot be told by
bird or man which is the leaf, which
the insect.
Karl Deubel talked about this with
more fervor than about his patented
process for pasting the wings on the
shoes. He knows lot about butter
flies and moths. He studied at the
University of Freiburg and was on its

treats them in temperature of 300
degrees and sticks them in place in
patterns of line and color. Sometimes
he dyes them to get the uniform shade.
Thus tracery. bright as silver. will be
subdued to pearl. The girls downstairs
clip the pieces that are to be fitted
together. using sometimes a hundred
wings for single heel.
He uses more of the iridescent blue
morpho" of Brazil than anything else.
Its flaming blue is like sapphire and
catches any light there is in the room.
Cinderella's lost slipper might have
been brighter with heel like this. I
imagine that on slippers doing the
ds'ss6s or tango, this huge South
American butterfly would seem to
hover in its natural graceful lit and
hesitation.
But getting enough blue morphos
is not easy. They cannot be bred be-
cause no one knows what plants the
caterpillars feed on. And the capture
itself takes experience as we'll as
patience. They haunt the tops of trees
and the collector has to climb up and
wait there patiently with a long
handled net.
When the blue morpho lays its eggs.
however, it will crawl off into the
bushes. But this makes more trouble.
The bushes tear its wings or make
white scratches in the amethystine
field, and Deubel can use only the per-
feet specimens. He says that one
dealer from whom he imports has
1900 collectors in Brazil hunting blue
morphos.
Another source which has a string
tied to it provides lovely specimen
from the German Alps. Since there is a
law against the capturing or killing of
these. American ladies who want
wings slippers must choose another
design.
When l left his house Deubel asked
me to pick out any ornament l wanted
as a gift for my wife, 1t was a grave
matter - my eyes we're bewildered by
so much color. However, the fact is, I
could not 60 wrong. Nature never en-
ploys bad taste in her painting or in
her patterns

Pennsylvania spoke from plat

stadium at ceremonies marking
reunion day of the Blue and Grey.
Rain fell steadily but less than
a dozen veterans left their seats
in the stands.
Mennett was introduced to the
martial air of columbia, Gem OF

"The nation has been reborn
in unity" he declared, his voice
firm, as guns doomed a salute of
honor. Where men once lay in
agony is now a peaceful park.
Birds sing where once was heard
the roll of drums.
"Three quarters of a century
has passed and those of us who
remember this place so well are
old. The wounds are healed. Let
us who suffered here plead for
mutual peace and tolerance.
"The Blue and Grey are assem-
bled today under one flag, the
Stars and Stripes. Under this one
banner we march together into
the sunset of our lives. May God
bless each one of you"
A piping rebel yell, faint echo
of that heard through the crash
of Gettysburg cannon rs years
ago, sounded from ancient Con-
federate threats when the United
States army band struck up DIX
ie." Commander John M. Claypool
of the Confederate Veterans step
ped briskly to the microphone.
Speaking without notes he
brought his aging comrades
stomping to their feet with the
declaration that "The South would
be waging guerrilla warfare to
this very day if it were not for
that spirit of fellowship wherein
we forgave our brother Ameri-
cans.
"I'm happy l was born on the
other side of the Ohio river he
said, gesturing vigorously with his
hand, and again a feeble cheer
rose from his comrades.
A moment later the ceremony
closed when 91-year-old j. j..
Methvin, Andarko, Okla, national
Confederate chaplain, offered
thanks that Blue and Grey were
marching together through the
final years of life.

Johnson said that purchases OF

ried out under options with the
manufacturers on previous large

The contract brought the total

clearly establish the fact that the
United States is not tagging be,

Latest figures available on the
army's plane strength indicated
that there are 1878 on hand, and
500 on order. These, with the 40
projected during 1889 will bring
the total to 1920.
The navy's authorized strength
is 5000 although officials say
there are only about half thai
number actually in operation.
