order to cope with this small but
determined foe.
What troubles are faced by those
In charge of exterminating this
highly efficient foe. which Is grad
ually working its way into ada
cent States!
This beetle belongs to the same
family in which is found our lady
bird beetle In the family Coccinel-
lidae most of the members are i'm
portant hunters Of scale and aphid
insects-foes Of ours.
Mexican bean beetles are almost
round. They are only one-fourth OF
an inch long The wing covers are
marked with eight conspicuous spots
of black. The pesky little thing
seems too small to do any dam
age, but when 200 or 300 hold a
mass meeting on one plant there
Is little hope for recovery.
The adult beetle spends the win
ter in rubbish that may be found
near or in the field. Sometimes
YOU may find a group Of them
packed close together, a snug ball
Of potential trouble for the farmer.
When the beans are coming from
the ground the beetles awaken from
their coma and wander to the fields.
The females head straight for the
best plant in their path and anchor
upon the leaves the golden-yellow
eggs. .
Stepping from these containers
will be hungry orange-colored Of
spring. eager to appease their empty
feeling by feeding on the under
surface Of the leaves. All the un-
der tissue Is consumed, the roof
over their heads, the upper surface,
alone remaining. Mother may be
on the same plant. You can see
that such concentrated attention
will soon defoliate the bean plant.
When the year has been especially
prosperous for the beetle, by the
same token 1t is bad for the
farmer.
Strangely enough, the Mexican
bean beetle has few natural en-
emies. Those are not sufncient in
numbers or activities to be Of any
help to the farmer.
1t is not an easy job to spray
under the leaves. Some real husky
beetles can stand quite q lot Of
dusting. Sometimes you merely
confuse the little thieves or chase
them from one plant to another.
Besides, in the Southwest there may
be but one generation, in other places
there may be two or even three.

Mexican bean beetles destroy
crops valued at more than $4,000, 900!
Now we need beans for. the Ma
wee" We also. need them for the
Army and others. Two million dol
lars lost, due to the appetite Of
an insect, does not appear to stand
out on the ledger, as 1t is No. 80
on the list of insect pests. Still
this amount each year could be put
to some wonderful projects.
1t seems, according to the rec
ords. that the Mexican bean beetle
is well established in suf1cient
numbers TO rank as an important
pest. Each year some 10000 acres
Of ground are planted to lima and
snap beans for the market. The
value of this crop, $4,5O0, 900, is re-
duced by 10 per cent by the bee
ties. As $4,500.000 represents only
90 per cent of the value of the crop
that would have been produced had
the beetles been absent, the direct
charge against the pest in the
Eastern States would be about
$4,000 annually.
In the West. mostly in Colorado
and New Mexico, the story Is sad
der, for the beetle consumes Is
per cent Of the crop. The farmer

About Conveys In The Atlantic
 And Arming Panamanian Ships

the State Department know it un til about the time the Pink Star was sunk.
 Not even the Coast Guard knew it for a while, and almost got into an argument with Pan amanian ship sailing out of New York harbor the other day be- cause she carried a gun on her deck. The Coast Guard had not been told at that time that the gun had been placed there by the U. s. Navy at the direct or ders of the President himself.
 The ships in question are the 80 vessels seized from the Axis, 27 of which now have been put unti tservice under the Panam- anian flag. Panama had no ob- jection 10 the use of it's flag since the revenue is very profit able-$l a ton for registration Naturally, registration of the yes sels under the Panamanian flag was known to the Panamanian Government But it did not know the ships were sent out armed.
 This policy has come in for wig orous criticism by advisers in side the Government on several grounds. One is that no one knew what the Navy was doing. An other was that the crews of the merchant ships had no training in operating the guns Thus the fact that the ships were armed increased their chances of being attacked, since an armed vessel is entitled to no courtesies under international law.
 All of this is one reason why the Administration is anxious to change the neutrality act to per init lease-lend cargoes to be car ried in American vessels, thus getting aay fro mthe Panaman- ian flag. The President will also ask Congress for authority to mount guns on American mer- chant. vessels. Finally, crews are to be given gun training.
 NOTE: Arnulfo Arias, Presi- dent of Panama, is in the ironic position of being an admirer of Germany, yet it is the Panama nian vessels that are carrying guns aimed against Germany. Arias served as a diplomat in Germany for some years, and has given the State Department more worry than any other Latin Am erican President.

Q. Just what is imitation and how can it be mini mixed.
 A. Imitation is decrease in the buying power of the dollar caused by rising cost of living This in turn, is brought about by heavy public de- mand, resulting from rapid increase in the national income, for things which cannot be produced in large enough quantities.

WASHINGTON Here is the inside information regarding the convoy of forty lease-lend ships, i 31 of which the Germans claimed were sunk a few hours after the Presidents "shoot-frst" broad cast.
 What happened was that these ships were the first to be con voyed by American naval vessels to Iceland. Secretary of the Navy Knox announced that U s. War ships would provide protection for British vessels to Iceland, but even before his speech one such convoy actually took place - though officially it didn't. Officially, American supply ships were enroute to Iceland un der the cry heavy protection of the U. s. Navy, and British sup ply ships merely tagged along. The navy did not turn the hitch mixers back and they got the full benefit of our guns. But officially it was not conveying.
 Anyway, this group of vessels got to Iceland without mishap. But then when it proceeded on to England, Nazi submarines and bombing planes attacked. The Germans announced that 31 out of the forty ships were sunk. Ac- tually the number sunk was only eight, though several others were damaged.
 This attack took place, how ever. after the ships had left the protection of the U. s. Navy and were flying under the Union Jack.
 Panamanian Ships Armed
 Not many outside the White House know it, but the States Department gave the President some urgent advice the other day to make public the fact that the Pink Star, sunk near Iceland and flying the Panamanian flag, was carrying a four-inch gun on her deck. Subsequently the President announced the fact at his press conference.
 Prior to that it had been a military and naval secret that the Government of the United States had bee narming Panama nian ships. It was such a secret that the Government of Panama itself didn't know it. Nor did

The nations of the world have never been able to agree-espec iallv in Wartime-on the degree of freedom that should be grant ed ocean-borne commerce.
 We quarreled with England over this issue before the War of 1912 and with England and Ger many before we joined in the World War.
 One of the first to define Am erica's attitude was John Adams, who eventually became Amerl- ra's second president. In 1783 he said of the powers of Europe:
 Each one desires to maintain the exclusive dominion of some particular sea or river and yet to enjoy the liberty of navigating all others"
 For my own part" he added, "I think nature wiser than all the courts and estate in the world, and therefore I wish all her seas and rivers upon the whole globe tree
 Disagreement Over War Zones
 When the U. S. first projected her lease-lend program last Jan uary worried Reichfuehrer Hit Ter warned: "Whoever believes he can help England must at all events know one thing every ship with or without convoy that comes within range of our tor pedo tubes will be torpedoed'
 Previously he and Il Duce had defined the war zones in which those torpedoes could be expect ed.
 In the face of this, President Roosevelt insisted that America was entitled to freedom of the seas in all areas outside his own proclaimed combat zones. He re- called that in the past the Am erican Navy had taken action to protect our shipping from 'pi- rates" who ignored our right to freedom of the seas.
 Vastly complicating the picture has been the fact that German proclaimed and American-pro- claimed war zones have not CO., incided. Two notable discrepan- cies are these:
 Germany has included the wa ters around Iceland in the war zone, but America has not;
 Germany has included the northern part of the Red Sea, but America has contended (since Britain seized Italy's possessions in East Africa) that the entire Red Sea is outside the combat zone.
 Recently these discrepancies were highlighted by three clash es at sea:
 The Greer Incident - Shortly after dawn on Sept. the U. S. destroyer Greer and a German submarine exchanged shots about 200 miles southwest of Iceland
 American officials said the U- boat opened the fray by loosing several torpedoes at the Greer. All missed. The Greer, they said counter attacked with depth bombs. FDR said the Navy had been instructed to attempt to "eliminate" the U-boat.
 Germany, in acknowledging that it was her submarine that was involved, said the destroyer fired first and that the U-boat re piled without knowing the de stroyer's identity.
 She added that FDR was us- ing the incident to "incite the
 HHrican people into war against >d Sea

SHOWDOWN ON FREE
 DOM OF THE SEAS

over by the Maritime Commis- sion was the SeSsa. It was char tered to the Marine Operating Company of New York and later was transferred to Panamanian registry but remained under Am erican ownership. Such a trans fer is often made to permit ves- sels to enter combat zones barred under the Neutrality Act.
 Two days after the Greer af- fair three members of the Ses- sa's crew were picked up near i the same spot off Iceland. The State Department announced the Sessa had been sunk by a sub marine presumed to be German last month and that 24 crew mem bers - including one American were presumed lost" The ship was enroute to the U. S. after discharging a g eneral cargo in Iceland.
 After Americans learned of these three new developments, Britain's Prime Minister Church i'll told the cheering House of Commons:
 "The Germans are much ham pered on the American part of the Atlantic by fear of trouble with the powerful American na- val forces This has been help to us but I wish it might be a greater help.
 "The enemy's tactics may change. Hitler has the great est possible need to prevent prec ious munition supplies" from reaching England,
 Authorized quarters in Berlin denied there was "any general order to attack American ships. ;
 American citizens who had been marooned abroad for a long time were told by the State Department that they could en- bark for home on beligerent ships if they cared to travel at their own risk. Travel on bellig- erent ships had been forbidden.
 Immediately after Berlin ac- cused FDR or seeking to "incite" America against Germany it was announced that he would make an important broadcast.
 Later he is said to have had a premonition that he must see his ailing mother at once. He changed his plans for the week end and went to Hyde Parv. The night after he arrived she was stricken. She died of an acute circulatory collapse at the age of 86.
 The bereaved son postponed his radio address. Meanwhile the Seafarer and Sessa sinkings had further heightened the tension betwen the U. s. and Germany.
 Then-Orders to the Navy
 Later that week the President turned on his big guns. He or dered the Navy to shoot first when it encounters Axis sub marines, surface raiders or air craft in waters which this coun- try considers vital to its defense.
 First MT. Roosevelt listed all the attacks on American ships i including an incident not make public before. He said that in July a submarine tried to get in to position to attack a U. s. bat tleship.
 All these things, the President declared, could mean noly that the Nazis sought ito abolish the freedom of the seas," with no American ship free to carry on any peaceful commerce."
 
 "We have not sought a shoot ing war with Hitler" he said solemnly, 'but neither do we want peace so much that we are willing to pay for it by permit ting him to attack our naval and merchant ships while they are on legitimate business
