Natures Children

favored by some and nearly all of
them possess the caudal horn, a
fearsome- looking though perfectly
harmless affair.
The caterpillars have the gift Of
telescoping the anterior segments Of
their body. When travelling the
body appears to be very long and
when resting the buxom one draws
in its head and anterior segments
SO that the head seems buried in a
ring of fat.
Another interesting fact is the
caterpillar's habit of raising itself
to a 45-degree angle and standing
in this position. like the immovable
Egyptian sphinx, with just as much
expression. Their posture seems to
get the goat" of smaller neigh
bors and birds and other caterpillar

backing of rather than attacking
the juicy morsel so much in COM
mand of the situation.
You will find this moth enjoying
wide range throughout the East
ern United States and extending
this territory into Southern Canada.
Vine growers despise this moth.
They have a right to. The eggs are
laid upon the leaves or trunk and
as soon as the caterpillar emerges
from its shell 1t begins at once to
feast upon the foliage. AS these
hungry fellows are perfectly con-
tented to remain in a small area
as long as there are juicy leaves to
be had for the mere reaching for
them, much damage can be accom-
plished by troupe determined to
eat all they can hold, shed tight
skins for more roomy ones and
continue the story.
When the third molt is reached
very long, handsome caudal horn is
added as part of its equipment.
Soon it begins to curl up and in
its place beautiful, shiny glowing
false eye replaces it. This eye is
supposed to put the fear of the
wrath to come in the mind of any
would-be assassin from the air.
After gorging themselves for
weeks on grapevine leaves, the
caterpillars weave a loose but ex-
tremely strong coverlet around
themselves and in this they trans
form into the beautiful winged
creatures like the one in our illus
tration. Rose, brown, tan and black
are arranged In q lovely color COM
bination. This moth adds distinc-
ton to your collection.

Satellite Sphinx
By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.


Hawkmoth is but another name
for the sphinx moth, and as the
family is so large and the members
In it vary so greatly in size, you
will find it most interesting to study
this particular group.
There is family characteristic
that will help you recognize men,
Der of this tribe, and that is the
fairly stout body always protruding
beyond the hind margin of the Sec
ondary wings, usually decorated
with lateral or terminal tufts which
are capable Of expansion.
The chest is husky and it is often
extended beyond the insertion of the
wings. A large head. prominent
eyes, which are usually naked; a
long proboscis and well-developed
antennae complete the ensemble.
Then we have the offspring in
this family. Nearly all of them are
portly. And here is where you find
the widest range of color combina-
tions, green, however, being the
predominating shade. Stripes are

Acting Secretary of the Nav!
! Charles Edison signed contracts yes
terday which will enable shipyards
to begin the 1940 building pro-
gram-including $4,000 ton battle
ships mounting nine l6 inch guns
shortly after July /.
Edison said the United States
was mot catching up" with Great
Britain and Japan in the interna-
tional naval race and has not
reached the 5-5-3 parity establish
ed at the Washington naval con-
ference after the World war.
President Roosevelt signed the
appropriation act providing funds
for the 1910 program May 25. but
before that. Edison revealed, navy
technicians had completed drafts
for the projected ships and asked
private Shipyards to submit bids
for their construction. In addition
to the battleships, the awards were
made for a new aircraft carrier,
eight destroyerS. seven submarines,
four light cruisers and two small
seaplane tenders.
Navy supply officers also have
options on the purchase OF sup
plies for the new vessels TO speed
procurement when actual construc-
ton begins. Edison said He said
that procedure would make pos
sible a gain OF five or six months
