Cicada Falsely Accused
As Destroyer of Crops

For centuries the cicada has been
falsely accused of destroying field
crops. 1t was once considered poi
Sonous in some mysterious way, a
forecaster of war, and a bad omen
generally. Some confuse the peri
odical cicada with the locusts that
ate up Pharaoh's crops. Cicadas
are not locusts. The term locust
applies to grasshoppers, observes a
writer in the Chicago Tribune.
Cicadas do not cause any damage
by feeding on crops, but they injure
trees by puncturing the twigs and
laying masses of eggs inside, states
an entomologist. These punctures
often cause the tips of the branches
to die. Twigs from six inches to
two feet long will break off and fall
to the ground.
The sudden appearance of the
cicada often excites the gravest
fear for the safety of trees and
shrubs. There is some ground for
this, especially if they appear in
large numbers.
There are two races OF clcadaS-
the II year and the Is year. When
broods of both races appear in the
same year the insects are especial
Iy numerous. The biggest broods
of the two races-No. 10 of the II
year race and No. 10 of the Is year
race-appeared simultaneously in
1868. But scientists have figured it
out that they will not appear togeth-
.er again until 22l years from that
date, or to be specific, in 2089 A. D.
In describing the life history OF
the cicada, entomologists say that
:antlike larvae come from the eggs
a few weeks after they are laid with
in twigs of trees. The larvae fall
to the ground and quickly burrow
out of sight.

Specimen of Famous Dodo
10 Field Museum Exhibit

The long extinct dodo-in many
ways the most famous bird that
: ever lived, although no complete
specimen even Of its skeleton re-
mains in existence-is the subject
: OF an exhibit at the Field Museum
e OF Natural History in Chicago. The
bird, whose name has become in the
modern world almost universally q
symbol of obsolescence and gro
tesqueness, is restored in a life
size sculptured model. This mod
. el represents the most nearly COM
plete, accurate and up-to-date res
toration of dodo ever attempted
in the belief of museum authorities.
In addition to the model, the mu-
. scum displays series Of drawings
and paintings which furnish supple
mentary data on the dodo.
Despite the fame Of its name, few
people realize that the dodo is any
thing but fictitious, and fewer still
know that there were two species of
E dodos, and a third bird-the soil
taire-which was much like the
dodo and flourished in limited way
In the Seventeenth century. Al
though all that remains in the world
today of the dodos consists of one or
two incomplete skeletons, few mis-
"cellaneous bones, a couple Of heads
and couple of feet in European
museums, there are authentic rec
ords that at least two dodos were
brought to Europe alive and one of
them was shown in London in 1888.
The birds became completely ex-
tinct about 1851. They were all
large birds, about the size of tur-
keys, and lived only on three of
the Mascarene islands, southeast
of Madagascar. A gray species of
dodo lived on Mauritius, a white
dodo on Reunion, and the solitaire
on Rodriguez island. All three were
fiightless, but no doubt their an
cestors used their wings for fight.
The family of birds to which the
dodos belonged is closely related to
the pigeons, constituting with them
the order Columbiformes.

A Kerrick Woman
Defends Songbirds

Mrs. C. L. Wahlquist, promi-
nent Kerrick resident, sincerely
loves nature, its equipment and
its birds, as seen by statement
made to the Askov American.
Mrs. Wahlquist's expression, in
her own words, follows:
Which do you prefer-songbirds or
stray cats?
The attractive birdhouses on dis
play at the Halverson Lumber yard
are for sale, and will be very decor
alive in any yard, while the small
investment will pay large dividends
in bird song, especially that of the
friendly wren whose song comes as
an explosion when you least expect
it. There is one thing we must re-
member, and that is unless all stray
cats are done away with, our bird
houses will be unoccupied, there will
be no tenants, because cats are death
on our song birds.
While the house cat catches few
mice it kills our valuable birds as
well. Birds do not harm, but eat
their weight in insects every day, and
in the meantime cheer us with their
merry songs.
Martins are very valuable to any
one who raises chickens as they drive
away hawks and crows and warn
you of intruders. Their merry chat
ter commences at sunrise and con-
tinues until sunset, throughout the
entire summer.

Decorated Queen Anne

Early Georgian-not to be con-
fused with the late Georgian furni-
ture designs which included Chip
pendale, Sheraton, Hepplewhite,
and Adam-was a style develop
ment of Queen Anne and has been
called Decorated Queen Anne. This
period in furniture designs ended
for time the distinctly period de-
signs in English furniture; that is,
the name of furniture from a def
mite time in history as represented
by the ruling power. Subsequent
furniture became more familiarly
known as "styles" and was named
for individuals who inspired them.

Meaning of Filter in Photography

A filter is transparent cOlored
medium interposed between the OBJ
ject and the film in the path of the
light rays reflected by the object.
1t may be a colored gelatin wafer
mounted in the barrel of the lens,
or it may be colored gelatin sheet
-cemented between glass and mount
ed over the front or over the rear
element of the lens. A filter may
be of almost any color. Its func-
ton is either to screen completely
from the film one or more colored
Light rays or to weaken the inten-
-sity of certain colored rays or to do
both.

Sand|ot Loop, Begun
As Home Town Boon,
Now International
Hard to Get II Teams
In 1880, Has 1000
Leagues This Yeor
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. Jan. 31.-Ray Du-
mont, whose depression-born idea
has busted a lot of sand" from
sandlot baseball, believes 1889 will
be it's brightest season.
An energetic young man of 33,
Dumont is president of the National
Semi-pro Baseball Congress, so his
bigger -and- better attitude is un-
derstandable. But he expects the
coming year to produce such ad-
vances in what has been called
"baseballs bottom crust that the
season will dwarf, by comparison,
the changes that have come in the
semi-pro sport since he organized
is first tournament in 1890.
I'VE had about IL teams in that
first one and had trouble getting
that many" he said today. Next
summer we'll have almost 100000
players competing in 1000 leagues,
with some 800 district, State and
regional tournaments. More than
that, we hope to see most semi
pros under contract to teams which
compete in regulated leagues"
Started to Aid Business.
In 1880 Dumont ran sports
goods department in a Wichita,
Kans., store. Business was so bad
he had the idea of organizing a
tournament among sandolt teams
playing for various Wichita indus
trial firms. A small State tourna-
ment went over so big that he car
ried the idea through for four more
years before trying out the idea
on national scale in 1885. Last
August, at Wichita, $1,000 fans paid
to see the tournament as a team
from Buford, Ga, won the national
championship and $4,000.
We've had a lot of fun and lot
of headaches" Dumont continued.
Sometimes we'd have tournaments
and find players without suits-and
vice versa. Then when we did get
a tournament going. sometimes one
company, dissatisfied with its losing
team, would just get out the check
book and hire all the players away
from another team. But we hope
those days are coming to an end"
Keeps Major Scouts Busy.
For the coming year, Dumont ex-
poets to see not only the 48 States
in the program, but also clubs from
Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Puerto
Rico. Which makes a busy season
loom for major league scouts. Last
season 156 players made the jump
from semi-pro ranks into organized
baseball.
One of the sandlot games star
graduates is Freddy Hutchinson, who
won Is games for Seattle last season
and will hurl for Detroit's Tigers.
Hutchison played for Tacoma.
Wash, in the 1887 national semi
pro tourney. John Hubbell, brother
of the famous Carl, now is with
Jersey City after pitching for
Arkansas City, Kans., in the 1896
semi-pro program.
George Sisler, recently named to
baseball's hall of fame, is the semi
pro high commissioner, while on the
executive board with Sisler are Fred
Clarke, former Pittsburgh Pirates
manager, and iris Speaker, famous
Cleveland outfielder.
