MonY Butterflies
Now In Migration
Through County

A great deal of comment has
been made concerning the hum
dreds of yellow butterflies that
have been seen in the county dur
ing the past fortnight. Accord
ing to a noted entomologist,
when a large number of butter
flies of M variety are to be
seen in large groups they are
migrating TO other sections.
This move is occasioned by
the Matching out of unusually
large numbers of eggs and the
consequent crowding, and devour-
ing of such plants as butterflies
feed upon. so that the adult fe-
male butterfly must find new
places upon which to deposit her
eggs for the next generation.
The butterflies most seen the
past week belong to the cabbage
butterfly group, which also is
marked by the fact that female
are often white instead of yell
low.
The big brown butterflies with
black markings are monarchs.
and usually migrate to the tropics
at the approach of cold weather.
They come from the northwestern
parts of the country and some
times in such large numbers as
to heavily weigh down the
branches of trees upon which
they find rest during the night.

Dining in q Dinette Can Be Gracious
As Well as Simple and Informal
By ELIZABETH MacRAE BOYKIN

Grooming boards have gone the
way of avoirdupois. Maybe the di-
minishing dining rooms in today's
small homes and apartments have
something to do with the matter.
Anyway we challenge any cook to
produce a genuine groaning board
in dinette and how could a body
get fat without groaning board in
the ofing?
Certain it is that dinettes are re-
sponsible for many gay good times
for the young people in the compact
small house or apartment. For it
is so easy to entertain in today's
miniature dining room or dinette, so
simple to dash off a bright break
fast or casual supper. After all,
you're not expected to trot out
roast pig or leg of mutton in such
a room as that, which is a grand
"out'' for the hostess who can do
swell job with waff1es and welsh
rarebit. No wonder you don't no.

reverting to old time dining rooms
with those enile-wide Bullets, re-
member?
And in a dinette you can be smart
and gracious, practically in nut
shell. And on budget. Because
such room can't hold an expensive
array Of furnishings. A smallish
table that can open up to larger size
upon occasion is the need this
means either draw top or drop
leaf. And the chairs shouldn't be
too huge in size, but they should be
staunch and strong. The kind that
shove together to make a bench
along the wall between meals are
fine if you can find them, but these
are pretty scarce now in wartimes.
Even simpler of course are long
benches to draw up to the table for
dining or to push back against the
wan between meals. And if you
can't find these in a store, you Cor
your carpenter) can make them.

Fire Experts Outline
Steps to Prevent Blazes

It is Just as essential for rural as
for urban families not to store gaso-
line in the house. Move it TO the
safest place-the tank of the family
auto or a storage tank away from
the house.
Inspection and cleaning of fur
naces, fues, steampipes, chimneyS
and fireplaces should be completed
before heavy fires are lit for the win
ter. Fire prevention experts warn,
''It doesn't take flame to start
fire." If a chimney fails to hold in
the heat as well as the flames,
spontaneously ignited fire may re-
suit. Poorly built chimneys in
houses are responsible for many of
the country's tragic fire losses.
Another step to be taken in pre-
vention of spontaneous ignition, re-
sulting when heat raises certain ar
ticles or materials above their COM
bustion point, is to put oily rags,
paint rags, brushes and mops in tin
containers tightly closed where there
is plenty of air.
No dry-cleaning should be done in
side the house, and the cleaned arti-
cles should be hung out of doors.
Likewise, the routine precautions OF
storing matches only in match
stands well above the reach of small
children and repairing old electrical
equipment and cords should be
taken.

The Rambling Rhymster
q
BY LES PLETTNER
THE GARDENERS

Two gardeners were planting spuds,
At which they thought they were no
buds.
They planted them SO that each eye
Looked up with interest to the sky.
And then there came ex-farmer Max
Who stopped right there within his
tracks.
He said, 81 notice how you boys
Are planting spuds with ease and
poise,
And planting them so that the eyes
Are pointed upward to the skies.
In this there is no sense or rhyme
1t is a waste of precious time.
For many years | planted grain
Upon the fertile field and plain,
Nor gave the slightest thought just
The eyes were placed, and yet, I
trow
The grain all sprouted up like fun,
And sold it for plenty mon.
All things in Nature seem to know
The right direction they should
grow.
Their eyes are blind as new born
pup
But still they know which way is
up"
The gardeners did then relax,
And answered thus ex-farmer Max,
"Good sir, we are foolish pair
No doubt you have got something
there!"

Yanks Rig Up Floodlights
For Tropical Night. Ball

How Yank ingenuity made night
baseball possible in the heart of the
New Guinea jungles has been re-
vealed by sportswriter Lou O'Neill
in the Long Island Daily Star.
Taking advantage of widespread
interest in the game, anti-aircraft
battalions of the area formed a
league. A field was cleared within
four days, with subsequent i'm
provements, and one of the team
describes it as almost as good as
the diamonds back home"
All the day games scheduled could
not be worked in, so the only solu-
ton was to provide enough light for
night-ball. Putting to work the mate
rails and equipment available, the
boys made IL coconut trees into
poles so feet high and installed them
around the field. They then placed
60-inch arc searchlights of the $780,
100000 candlepoWer variety used in
anti-aircraft defense II feet from
the bottom of the poles. They di-
rected the light upward on white
board ref1ectors 20 feet square and
mounted at the tops Of the poles.
Four 750-watt foodhghts supplement

Glacier on the Move
Is Prehistoric Guide

The rate of travel of glacier
may not affect us, but it enables
scientists to say with accuracy
what happened millions of years
ago. They are measuring the rate
of movement of the Malaspina
glacier in northern Alaska, and
have discovered that it moves two
inches an hour on fine days and
half that rate when rain or fog is
about.
This glacier is part of an ice
field 235 miles long-the largest
discovered outside polar regions
but it will never wreck civilized
areas for as it moves south the
ice melts and forms the source of
a river.

dignity.
Either a wooden or a metal rod
extending well beyond the sides OF

open without interfering with dra-

three Democrats who were renomi-
mated after their indictment for
