This is the year for BroCd XIV of the periodical cicada incorrectly named seventeen year locusts" by early American settlers, which went into the ground as grubs in 1923 and will emerge this season as nymphs.
 Long before the white man came. the cicada probably covered the country more or less uniformly. Each year 8 certain brood came out in certain area and then returned to the earth for a period of II years in the North and 13 years in the South. The Indians attached a baneful significance to the periodic appearances of this insect. When the cicada appeared at Plymouth, Mass, in 1884, the coloniSts from England, because they had never seen these pests before, assumed that God had sent another plague of Egypt with which they were fa- miliar from their scripture reading. The Egyptian locust, however, is the same as our grasshopper, and is not even remotely related to the cicada.
 Entomologists are of the opinion that forest fires and other variations in natural conditions have thinned out many of the broods and possibly some have been completely de- stroyed, Brood x, which came out in 1886, will reappear in 1853. This Is the largest and most widespread of all the 30 broods. Brood XIII, which came out in 1899 over small area in the West, has become very inconspicuous. A brood weakened by forest fires or other destrucuve force has no chance against plros. Only when there are more cicadas than the birds eat can the brood survive.
 New England Affected This Year.
 This years brood will emerge in an area from the New England and New York coast line across New Jersey and Pennsylvania and down through the Appalachian region to northern Georgia, then westward across western Ohio and Indiana into Illinois.
 For seventeen years the cicada sr,ibs have fed on the roots off trees and shrubs deep in the earth. h. cidently the seventeen-year cicada is the longest-lived of any known insect. Some of the larvae burrow as deep as 20 feet below the sur face. Soon they will appear suc- denly, in tremendous numbers, rid" ding the ground with holes over night. They usually emerge early m June, but this years late season probably has delayed them.
 Happy are the cicadas' lives, for they all have voicelesS wives. IS a true aphorism, because only the males possess sound apparatus. The familiar noise is made by vibrating two tough, little drums of cartilage

Louis Beaten to Pulp

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-All the
reading I seem to be doing lately
IS classical-Gene Tunney, Suction
ius. the racing form and Gene Tun-
ney. 1t amt my fault so much as
the fact that Tunney is writing all
the time.
Whenever I open a magazine,
there is Tunney knocking out Joe
Louis again, with some new fighter.
This is the worst year Joe ever had.
Already, in the last month, three
Tunney fighters have licked him, as
follows:
James j. Corbett, by decision.
Bob Fitzsimmons, by a knockout.
Jack Dempsey, by q knockout
(twice).
The last thing I saw from the pen
OF this bloodthirsty author was in
last weeks Saturday Evening Post,
which have just got around to
reading in between my translations
OF the racing form into Sanskrit.
Sure enough, Louis loses three more
lights. If they don't call that Tun-
ney on very soon, Joe will have a
longer losing streak than Tommy
Fairs.
