growing bud or tip. Then they bore
in the stalks and enjoy themselves
at the expense of the plant for about
one month.
After this stage, the larvae spin
a thin silken cocoon in which they
transform tpupate). Moths of the
second generation soon emerge from
this silken tomb. They fly about
seeking mate and in q short time
the second group Of eggs will be an
chored on green corn leaves.
The young from this last batch of
eggs will devote their attention to
the corn stalks that are close to the
ground. Late In the autumn they
will go below the frost line into the
taproot, where they will spend the
winter.
The full-grown larvae reach a
length Of three-fourths of an inch.

rated with conspicuous black spots,

lows the same pattern of attack.
The moths are brownish gray in
color and have q wing expanse OF
less than an inch. But there are
four generations a year of these
pests in the Southern States and
they can do lot Of harm.
All the stubble and old stalks of
a cornfleld that has been infested
should be raked up and burned SO
that overwintering borers are de-
stroyed. Fence rows and waste
places should be thoroughly cleaned
to hold these destructive insects
down. There is one sure way of out
whiting them-crop rotation. With
out their special food they starve

{ The thing which makes sword
fish strange Is its boay snout. This
snout is the upper jaw, which grows

The common length OF B we'll

The sword Is q weapon and can

swordfish. Fishermen have reported
many cases in which, these, fish have
gone into schools OF herring or

eaten their victims.
An ancient Greek named Strabo
left an account of swordfishing in

translation of his words:
'sThe fishermen are in many small
boats, each boat with two oars and
two men. One man rows, the other
stands on the prov. spear in hand.
When swordfish passes the boat,
the spear is hurled into it. The
barbed point OF the spear Is loosely
fixed and breaks on in the flesh OF
the fish.
"A long line is fastened 10 the
spear point, and this is played out.

To this day small boats with only
two men aboard are used in-sword-
fishing in some places.

Bridgehead Is Held.
We were holding a dangerously
, narrow bridgehead stretching Is
miles along the beach from Salerno
to Agropoli.
The Germans continued their
devilish thrusts. And behind these
thrusts their main counterattack
was in the making.
Gen. Clark made two moves to
meet the threat. He ordered an
American infantry division to come
ashore across already overloaded
beaches and along our limited and
, clogged roads and he requested
! British American naval units-our
only effective heavy artillery-to
come as far inshore as possible and
blast the German concentration
area with everything they have.
When darkness fell over the
bridgehead that Sunday night, the
sultry air was filed with the muffled
screams of heavy caliber naval shells
hurtling overhead toward the Ger
man concentration area to miles

CLEVELAND. April 3.-Republic
Steel Corp. declared yesterday that
strike at its Crescent Strip mine
near Charleroi. Pa. had cost the
corporation more than 10000 tons of
urgently needed" coal.
The score of employees who first
went on strike on March 3. returned
to work on March 10, went out again
on March 20 and are still idle" Re-
public said.
The strike is due to a wage de-
mand which officials of the United
Mine Workers of America have pre-
sented and which the company is
willing to meet, provided the in
creases asked are approved by the
National War Labor Board.
Union of1icials refuse to ioin in
the application for the increase to
the board as is required.
Republic officials state that in
their opinion the miners are willing
to return to work. but are restrained
from doing so by the union oficials.

Don't Take Whole Pound Of Flesh

Everyone knows that this nation must
collect taxeS-heavier taxes than any In
dividual ever dreamed Of. But an. in
creasing number Of public officials are
awakening to the fact that the tax load
on business can be made so heavy that it
will actually kill that sort of tax revenue,
and in so doing destroy the jobs which
provide the wages and salaries that, in
turn, pay the billions in personal income
taxes.
Representative A. Willis Robertson,
Democrat, Virginia, member Of the tax
framing House Ways and Means Commit
tee, says: "The best incentive throughout
the ages to increased production Is the
profit incentive. The best assurance for
employment for returning soldiers will be
in private industry and in continuing the
private enterprise system. That factor
cannot be safely overlooked in the franz
ing Of income tax rates for corporations,
because the government has no present
plans to finance the conversion from war
production to peacetime production"
Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau
has indicated that military authorities
have interested themselves in the new tax
program because they want tax levieS
kept low enough to preserve production
incentives.
That the reasoning Of Representative
Robertson and the military authorities is
sound, can be proved by every individual
to his own satisfaction by asking himself
the simple question: Would carry on, or
could I carry on under a taxation pro-
gram that leaves me little or nothing but
a tax receipt at the end Of years work?
That is point that every member of Con-
gress will have to consider in connection
with individual and corporate taxation
in the future because the two are in
Separable, for the earnings Of each are the
basis Of production, expansion and stea-
dy employment.

An Ugly Picture

Climax to the bulldozing given the gov
eminent by labor leaders in the coal mine
controversy, came recently when Coal
Administrator Ickes requested the Army
to release examiners to help boost coal
production. Mr.. Ickes' request was based
not on evidence of nanpower shortage,
or Of an undue depletion of mine labor
by the Army, but on present difficult
circumstances arising out Of the lack Of
work contract between operators and
mine workers, with consequent bitterness
and confusion throughout the mining In
dustry."
In the words of the Louisville, Ken
lucky, Courier Journal "That such re-
quest should De made at all shows a fun
damental misunderstanding Of the rel
alive Importance OF workers and soldiers
in total war. Mr.. Ickes will not speak
sharply to sullen miners, and he will not
permit any other governmental agency
to speak sharply to their leader. In Or
der to avoid a clear showdown in an is
sue which only showdown can settle, ne
is willing to ask even the Army to subor-
dinate its needs to the discomfort Of min
erS."
The rights of the coal mine owners were
long ago wiped out to appease the de-
mands of labor leaders. Now a move Is
underway to penalize the Army, because
labor leaders would rather wrangle over
wage contracts than get out coal.
The nation was informed that on Oc-
tober 1st draft Of fathers was to start.
This grim announcement, thanked by the
breakdown Of justice and governmental
regulation in the coal fields, paints an
ugly picture which millions Of Americans
will be slow to forget.
