In connection with the above. the committee ad-

Mr.. Ketchan and further stated that the scheduled

The second item. however. is Of Immediate inter-

that some thought is being given to improving the
service now in operation. Mr.. Benjamin Ketcham as
the representative of this committee, attended a
meeting in Eyattsvi11e at which this propos al was
discussed by officials Of CTC interested citi-
zens Of the affected coumui ties. Mr.. Ketchsn re-
ported the proposed changes they affected Green

II To discontinue the pr sent Greenbelt- -Berwr
shuttle opera tion.
q To extend the East Riverdale line to Green
belt. This line would be broken 80 that buses
would operate over Barney Street to the Mt. RAJ

The past month has been rep1ete with reports and

Essentially, these r1mors boiled down to two
items:

Prince Georges County, to abolish the present
weekly pass and to subs tute the fore another
form of ticket whi ch could operate to increase
fares.
q proposal to establish a bus terminal in

II you have ever had a potato

IN two weeks step forth as adult

have also feasted upon the potato
vine and found a mate. The Young

these small beasts is the weather.

Allen Induces Seal
To Delay Resiqnotion

At the request of Commissioner
George E. Allen Corporation Coun-
sci ElWood H. Seal has agreed to
delay his resignation until some
time in January in order to aid in
the current study of plans for re-
organization of the District gov
eminent.
Mr. Seal had announced about
two months ago he planned to
leave his District post in November
to return to private practice of law.
Mr.. Allen, who was reappointed
a District Commissioner to take
charge of the reorganizat ton studies.
requested Mr. Seal to continue
at least until January. Mr..
Seal is a member of the Commits
sioners' so-called kitchen cabinet, -
which is advising them on the re-
organization study.
The corporation counsel now is
collecting reports from department
executives of the District on the
effects of various proposals. When
these are digested the Commission
ers plan to hold another conference
with Chairman King of the Senate
District Committee.

Natures Children
Colorado Potato Beetle
(Leptinotarsa 1O.lineata)
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

A visit from the "slugs," offspring
OF the Colorado beetle. spells dis
aster to many fine crop of potatoes.
This insect stands first among the
foes Of the potato plant. Back in
1855 the beetle was a native of the
Rocky Mountain region. Here in its
pursuit of happiness it was salts
fled to maintain life on the common
weeds belonging to the same family
as the potato plant and its close
relatives.
Then the potato became more
and more popular, and somehow
and in some way, these beetles
learned that fine opportunities
awaited them where this plant was
cultivated. The plant, as you know,
has a decided odor of its own. To
the Colorado potato beetle it was
the essence of perfume With
strong wings and even sturdy legs
for travelling needs, what ambitious
beetle would remain struggling with
roadside weeds when abundance was
right across the way?
BY 1859 the alert beetles had
travelled one hundred miles west of
Omaha, Nebraska, and five years
later had crossed the Mississippi into
Illinois and steadily marched for
ward until 1874. when announce
ment was made they had reached
the Atlantic States. Today it is
said this potato lover may be found
wherever its favorite food is grown
in this country, and also in southern
Canada.
Despite the doses of noxious
drinks and the sprays that would
have wiped out a less dauntless
tribe, this small animal rolls up
loss of millions of dollars each year
for the farmer. and naturally to
the citizens of this country. Figure
out what could be done with this
money for the good of mankind.
Methodical habits insure this
beetle success. In October, the adult
beetles enter the earth, there to re-
main until Aprils warm rains and
sunshine coax them forth. BY this
time the tender young plants are
peeping above ground and the
mother beetle. ever aware of her
responsibility to the coming genera
ton, hastens to deposit her golden

An Actor by Choice.

On March l3. 1884, Mrs. Joseph
Inc Wupperman, 80 years old. banged
a eavel on the table of her Office in
her home at $50 Park avenue. de-
clared an extra dividend of S cents
a share on Angostura- -Wupperman
stock, and announced there would
be a new vice president, her son
Frank, frequently known in amuse-
ment circles as Frank Morgan.
So it is quite clear that if Frank
Morgan continues his career as actor.
it is because he loves his art. though
as a good businessman he would
not scorn the salary.
The Angostura side of the Morgan
career does not figure largely in the
records, and when his mother made
him an officer of the company he
said it was just another case of type
casting.
He is not boastful, but is proud OF
two things. the fact that he has been
happily married to the same woman
25 years. and that he was known
from 1911 to 1918 as the finest boy
soprano in New York.

A British Scheme.

More recently England had an eye
for devaluing its currency from it's
approximate $486 level to $3.50, a
cut which would give British traders
an advantage over Americans. To
see what the response in England
and in America might be, rumors
OF the intended move were leaked"
out to London papers.
Naturally, the Treasury suspected
what was afoot. Treasury officials
correspondingly leaked" a story
that any such move by England
would bring cut in dollar values
to meet it. England, in no mood to
have a currency war just now with
the United States, killed the plan.
This little story of the British was
told in part by Senator Wagner of
New York in recent Senate debate
to support the Presidents request
for continuation of his power to de-
value the currency. Wagner said it
demonstrated that the United States
didn't have to devalue its currency
to win currency wars. Just the fact
that the President had the power
OF devaluation, he said, tended to
stabilize international exchange.
If you want the other side of that
argument, consult Senator Glass of
Virginia.
