Collecting Insects Is
inexpensive Hobby
And Quite Amusing

WASHINGTON. = You don't
need to spend a lot of money to
have a lot of fun cultivating a
scientific hobby, at least in its
beginning stages. If the collect
ing fever really takes hold,
you'll probably empty your
pocketbook on your hobby, any
way, but you can take trial
spin at it for next to nothing.
If the notion of making a collec-
ton of insects appeals to you. for
example, you don't even need TO buy
a butterfly net. If you are handy
with tools you can make one for
yourself; but in some ways the be-
ginner at 'bug-hunting may even
be better off without net.
Butterflies, for all their attractive
ness, are not the best insects to be-
gin Oh. They are fragile and hard
to handle, and they take up a lot of
room. The same may be said for
dragonhies, cranefiies and many
other insects that require net for
their capture.
Beetles Almost Ideal.
Beetles are almost an ideal group
for starting-out purposes. They can
be caught in the fingers as they
lumber along the ground or cling to
trees and bushes. They can be
found by turning over sticks and
stones in the woods, or by digging
the bark off rotten logs with stout
knife or the point of a troWel. They
don't get messy in handling, and
they don't take up much room in
your trays or boxes.
Several other groups of insects
offer somewhat the same advan-
tages. You might prefer to try
scooping up Waterbugs, or nabbing
grasshoppers, katydids and crickets,
or even capturing the wild cock
reaches of the woods, which are
quite different animals from the
pests that haunt our houses.
Killing Bottle Necessary.
One piece of equipment is neces-
sary for any kind of insect collect
ing TffIs is killing bottle. It is
cruel to carry captive insects
around alive, and to stick pins
through them without first humane
ly killing them is not to be thought
Of So every collector carries a
wide-mouthed bottle with a tight
stopper, into which he puts his in
sects, along with some chemical
whose fumes are quickly lethal to
insect life.
Common pins aren't the best
things for pinning out insects but
they'll do all right, especially if you
try to get thin ones. Don't pin your
beetle exactly in the middle, be-
tween his two wing-covers, but
thrust the pin through one of these
hard, shel-like halves; it will hold
better there.
You don't need expensive special
boxes or trays for your collection.
Cigar boxes viii do we'll enough,
for start

In the Feed Lot

Potatoes to be fed to pigs should

Purebred pigs gain third faster
than scrubs, and on fifth less feed

II would be little short of a mira
Gle if anything came of the con-
ferences. If business revives and
employment increases, it will not
be the result of them. Despite the
pet theory of certain radicals, bust
ness is not such a cohesive unit in
its operations. As a matter of fact
no big corporation, even acting
alone, is ever inspired by political
motives in deciding on an enlarge
ment or curtailment of its opera
tions.
When business expands ii is al
ways for one reason, and only one.
The same is true when il contracts.
There is never any doubt about the
motive. whether it be based on
sound or poor judgment. The mo-
tive is always profit. Wien bust
ness sees a chance to make a profit
it expands. When it fears losses if
it continues the present scale of OPP
creations, it contracts. 1t may make
a mistake in either direction. but
there is never any question about
why ii was done.

Diet for Long Life

PHILADELPHIA.-The echidna,
or Australian spiny anteater, in the
Philadelphia ZOO, has established a
record for longevity among animals
of its kind. Keepers ascribe its sur
vival for 50 years to two things: q
dark box IN which to sleep during
the daytime, and steady daily diet
of one raw egg, one pint of milk,
and one teaspoonful of lime water.

WASHINGTQN.-The greatest diff
ference of opinion about any one
important question in this country
today is whether the United States
can keep out of war in Europe.
There is no doubt about the tenn
per of the country. If referendum
could be held tomorrow, nearly all
astute politicians believe it would
60 overwhelmingly for remaining
neutral-or, as most people put it,
minding our own business.
Moreover, there is no such ele-
ment in this country today as there
was Immediately after the invasion
of Belgium in 1914, which kept in
creasing until, in 1915, when the Luz
sitania was sunk, it reached a for
midable crest.
On the other hand, there is no
such division of sentiment in this
country as there was from 1914 to
1917. In many states the German
population openly sympathized at
that time with the central powers,
particularly in the upper Mississippi
valley, which, as one old political
leader remarked at the time, is
more Teutonic than Anglo-Saxon.
Minnesota. for instance, contrary to
the belief of most Fasteners and
Southerners, has more Germans
than SWedes, more Germans than
NorWegians, though of course if the
Scandinavians are considered as one
racial group, they outnanbeF the
Germans. Wisconsin, Nebraska and
Missouri. not to mention Illinois,
have huge German populations.
But today there is not much SYM
pathy for Hitler among these Ger
man segments of our population
which were so fervently pro-German
in 19l4-l9l7. Most of them still love
Germany, but they do not like Hit
Ter. There are plenty of exceptions,
OF course, as becomes apparent
when one starts to canvass the stu
alton, but it is very obvious that in
stead of the German-Americans be-
ing a solid pro-Hitler bloc they
would show a substantial majority
against him. Most German-Ameri-
cans today would be pleased at the
news of a political turnover in Ger
many which would throw Hitler and
the Nazis out of power. Most of
them would even prefer the return
OF the Hohenzollerns to continuance
OF the present regime.

Plan Boom in Business TO
Refute r. ID. RS Predictions

Half dozen conferences of men
whom the New Dealers would call
big business" have been held in
the last few days on an agenda look
ing to sharp revival of business
between now and January, when
congress meets again.
The idea is to cause such a re-
vival of business, and such an in
crease in employment by private
employers, that the dire predictions
of President Roosevelt growing out
of the defeat by congress of the
spend-lend bnl will be made to look
ridiculous to the returning law
makers.

Neutrality La,cs You'd
Not Keep Us Out of Far

All of which is cited to show that
this country does not have to travel
as far now in order to reach the
point where it would plunge into
the war on the side of Britain and
France as it did in 19l4-19l7. Yet,
although President Wilson was re-
elected in November, 1916, on a
kept US out of war" issue, the coun-
try was in the war just five months
later. So it may be wiser to be
conservative in assumptions as to
this country's remaining out Of war
in Europe.
Very few people think that the
present neutrality laws, or for that
matter any variation of them which
anyone has suggested, would keep
this country out of the war. AS a
matter of fact, the present law is
very much misnamed. 1t provides
against the shipment of farms, am
munition and the implements OF
war; to belligerents. Yet it has
never been applied to the present
conflict between Japan and China.
The answer is simple. The, adj
ministration believes that to recog-
nize that state of war exists and
consequently to impose an embargo
would benefit not China but Japan.
The government at Washington
sympathizes, quite openly, with Chi
ma, not Japan, as the Nipponese
are wrathfully aware. So it ignores
the spirit of the law, though observ-
ing the letter, Nobody kicks much,
because the whole country is al
most a unit in sympathizing with
China.
There is no doubt that the SYM
pathies Of the administration will be
even more strongly and actively on
the side of Britain and France
against Germany. Hitler will know
that.

Predict Real Market Boom
Follolring Outbreak Of Ear

New York stock market gyrations
perplex most outsiders, and the per-
plexity increases if one attempts to
get an explanation from shreWd
market operators.
Never was this more forcibly dem
onstrated than by what the market
has been undergoing in the face OF
repeated war scares. Every time
there is a scare the market dips.
Sometimes it almost crashes. Ex-
perts agree that when war really
breaks out in Europe there will be
a real crash.
But the same operators will tell
you that not very long thereafter
there will be a real boom in the
market, with crop of war babies"
not unlike those of 1915, though the
names of the companies may be diff
ferent.
Moreover, the same shrewd opera
tors will tell you that the rise of
these war babies will merely be a
wave on top of tide, which will
sweep the prices of most sound cor
porations upward. The tide will be
the inevitable result, they say, of
business conditions in the United
States which will be brought about
by the war in Europe. Almost re-
CARELESS of any details with regard
to what nations join in the conflict.
Their logic is something like this.
The United States will be the only
country in the world capable of ex-
porting many needed products in
any quantities. This goes especial
ly of course for manufactured goods.
rather than raw materials, though
the demand even for some raw ma
terials will be prodigious.
See Increased Demand for
All Kinds OF Supplies
AS result of this certain squirt
in manufacturing, there will be in
creased demand for electrical en-
ergy, for coal, for all sorts of things
necessary to the manufacturing
processes. This will spell enormous
~ increased buying power on the
part Of very large percentage of
the whole population, including coal
miners, Oil workers, textile workers
everyone who participates in the
production of materials not only by
the factories which do the exporting,
but those which supply them.
With SO many lines busy, Of
course, the buying power of all these
employees will in turn spread the
prosperity into lines having no CON
nection with the supplying of export
trade materials. In short, the coun-
try will have a huge boom, very
much like the one it began to enjoy
in 1915 as result of the World war.
Moreover, the world demand for
all sorts of United States products
will be much greater than it was
then because of one important
change in the world situation. Dur
ing the World war, the other big
manufacturing country that proflted
enormously was Japan. 1t is true
that Japan was on the Allies side
during the World war, but actually
1t did very little fighting After its
successful raid on Shantung and the
German-owned islands in the Pacif-
ic, Japan virtually forgot about the
war, settling down to making goods
and selling them at profit to the
Allies and the rest of the world.
This time Japan will not be abbey
to take advantage of the same op-
portunity, whether or not she Joins
with Germany and Italy in the war.

Neto Dealers Needn't u cry;
Nothing Viii Come of IL

So while gentlemen with imposing
names really have been comforting
on this question of a manufactured
boom in order to thWart the Presi-
dent, no New Dealer need be wor-
ried. Nothing will come of it. If
the management of any particular
corporation decides that by expand
ing it can make another 20 cents on
each share during the next six
months, that corporation will ex-
pand its operations. # it figures
that it will lose money by continu-
ing the present rate Of production,
it will begin laying off men,
One of the few exceptions in his
tory happened in the early days of
the Hoover depression, in the spring
of 1890, when President Hoover in
duced a number of railroad and
big business executives to continue
just as they were going, when all
the executives wanted to cut down.
But that exception only made the
rule of profit motive surer be-
cause of what happened then. Ev-
cry corporation that took Mr.. Hoo
ver's advise on that occasion suf-
fered terribly as result. Mr.. Hoo
yer will always believe that what
he induced these big employers to
do softened the bloW-cushioned the
decline. But no business man wants
to offer his own surplus to be used
as a cushion.
