l7-Year Locusts Live
Long Life Underground

It's the periodic cicada to the sci
enlist, but the garden variety OF
American still regards it as the IT.
year locust. This pop-eyed, green
ish-bodied bug with gauzy wings has
a quadruple distinction - it is pecu-
liar to the United States, it lives
most of it's life underground, its life
span is probably the longest in the
insect world, and it has one OF the
most complex musical instruments
in all nature. 1t begins life in
tree, continues for 13 to II years
underground, and ends in tree.
Eggs are placed in double rows
by the female in openings made in
twigs or branches with her sawlike
ovipositor. The eggs hatch in a few
weeks, the grubs push out of their
woody nests, and tumble to the
ground. Then begins the long, soli-
tary subterranean life. Each grub
digs an earthen home near a sap
filled rootlet, and rarely changes
abode unless the food source fails.
When instinct warns the eicada
that it has served it's time in the
earth, it emerges and climbs the
nearest tree. There It casts off
its old garments, expands its wings,
and changes color all in few
hours. Males make shrill, atten-

NYIoN HOSE WILL WEAR
LONGER IF CARE Is USED IN
BUYING

Nylon hose can be made to wear
longer and look better by exercising
some care in the selection of the
stockings and the manner of wearing
them
While. nylnos are still scarce, they
are being produced in ever-increasing
quantities, and it won't be too long
before they will be really plentiful.
Meanwhile some helpful hints on
buying and wearing of nylons, pub
lished in the April issue of Good
Housekeeping magazine, will enable
women to make their few pairs last
until they are really plentiful.
In nylons especially it's necessary
to have long enough foot size, be-
cause, unlike rayons, nylons do not
stretch easily in length and if too
short Will pull tightly against the
toes and cause excessive wear in that
point" tie article states in part.
also wearing too-short stockings
is the main cause of excessive wear
at the top of the heels, because in
accommodating itself to the foot, the
stockings heel reinforcement is pull
ed down below the edge of the shoe"
Although it may be superfuous
now, when choice of buying is limit
cd by supply, the following buying
advice will come in handy when n.y.
on lose is more plentiful:
Consider the weight of the stock
ings YOU buy in relations to their use.
Wear stockigns as you wear shoes
ervice weight stockings with walk
ng shoes for sports and heavy-duty
wear; your sheerest stockings and
evening slippers for evening wear,
semi-sheers with daytime dress
shoes.
Correct foot size is very import
ant. Stockings that are large enough
will wear longer and be more com
portable. Try to buy two or more
pairs of stockings of the same typ3
and color at the same time. Wea"
them in rotation SO that good stock
ngs may be matched as others be-
come worn.
when you find the stockings tina,
are best suited to your needs, note
The makers name and style number

White House First Public
Structure i'm Washington

The White House was the first pub
lie structure erected in Washington,
the cornerstone being laid, with irl-
pressive ceremonies, on October l3,
1892. The design of the mansion and
the terraces has been largely influ-
enced by the palace of the Duke Of
Eeinster in Dublin, Ireland. The ar
chitect was James Hoban, a native
of Ireland.
The first occupants Of the White
House were President and Mrs. John
Adams. They moved in before the
interior had been quite completed,
in November, 1800 The burning of
the mansion IA years later de-
stroyed part of the walls and the in
terror. Reconstruction was started in
the spring of 1915. President Mon
roe took occupancy in December,
1877. In 1924, the south portico was
finished, and in 1929 the north por-
tico was completed.
The executive office, three stories
in height, about 40 feet long and 100
feet wide, was added in 1902 to pro-
vide offices for the president and
his White House staff. The new east
wing was built in 1912 after the
United States entered the war, to
provide necessary additional office
space. 1t is also three stories high
and is approximately 1856 feet long
by 100 feet wide. The main part of
the White House has four floors and
is approximately ITO feet long by IS
feet wide. The east terrace is one
story high and approximately 2l5
feet long and 35 feet wide. When
large receptions are held it is used
for entrance and cloakroom pur-
poses. The west terrace, also one
story high is approximately 1853 feet
long by IS feet wide and includes the
presidents swimming pool and some
small offices used by a part Of the
White House personnel. The White
House buildings and grounds occupy
about 16 acres.

Sugar Substitutes

According to food specialists, in
most recipes one sugar may be sub
stituted for another, measure for
measure. This is true for making
puddings, pie filings and baked Gus
tards. With brown sugar the flavor
will be delicately caramel and the
color somewhat darker. Since
brown sugar custards tend to cur
die, it is especially important that
baking temperature be kept low.
Brown or confectioner's sugar
may be substituted for granulated
in cookie recipes; but with cakes
you'd better use the kind the recipe
calls for. Remember that the kind
of sugar greatly affects texture of
cakes and substitutions may cause
failure.
Ice cream-either plain or fruit
favored - can be satisfactorily
sweetened with confectioner's sugar.
Brown sugar is good in chocolate,
mocha or butterscotch ice cream.

just cause or reason, abandoned and
deserted him and has declared her
intention to live with him no longer,
and that such abandonment has con-
tinued uninterruptedly for at least
eighteen months, and is. deliberate

ciliation; that no children were born
to said marriage; that the Complain
ant has resided in Cecil County for
more than one year past before the

JOIN THE s.P.U.D

"Spud" as a popular nickname for
the potato is supposed to have come
from the initials of Society for the
Prevention of an Unwholesome Diet,
formed two centuries ago by group
of woefully misguided Englishmen
to protect the introduction of the po-
tato as a food. The Society failed,
and the spud won It's way on it's own
merits
Just how, in the postwar food
crisis and in an age of alphabetical
agencies" it is simple matter to re-
verse the process and let S-P-U-D
stand tor an informal organization to
which nearly everyone can and
should belong, the Society for the
Promotion of Useful Diet. The slo-
gan is Reach for potato instead OF
bread" For this expresses almost ex-
actly the position of the potato in
this spring of 1946. 1t Is useful
utilitarian-in the emergency, food
leaders of the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture point out. 1t is plentiful.
It is one of the best substitutes for
tie wheat that Americans need to
save to be able to ship abroad. Spuds
are best consumed at home. They
are not "shippable" to the same de-
gree that many other foods are. And
the potato crop is one that natures
in short time and can be increased
readily to fit such an expanding de-
mand as would be created by wide
and active membership in this So
ciety for the Promotion Of q Useful
Diet.
Potato planting Is recommended
in the larger Victory Gardens where
there is space for the crop.

The Message Of Easter

y
w sought Jesus at the tomb, an
w angel appeared to her and
said, "He j. not here: for he is
risen" Matthew $3.50. How many
today, like Mary, are searching for
Truth in material waysl But Truth
is revelation, and we must look to
God alone for revelation. Easter is
a glad time. 1t brings to our remem-
brance the Saviour's proof that Life
is eternal, and that Spirit, God, Is tri-
umphant over all evil, even death it.
self. A beautiful poem in the Chris
tian Science Hymnal begins:
"Let us sing of Easter gladness
That reioices every day,
Sing of hope and faith uplifted;
Love has rolled the stone away"
-. When Mary looked into the
empty tomb for the personal Jesus,
she grieved at not finding him; but
when she turned away from the
tomb, she beheld the Christ, the ever
present Truth, which spoke to her
of Life eternal. The empty tombs of
material belief hold no truth or hap
piness. Mary Baker Eddy says (The
First Church of Christ, Scientist, and
Miscellany, p. 258): "To the woman
at the sepulchre, bowed in strong
affections anguish, one word, Mary
broke the gloom with Christ's all
conquering love. Then came her re-
surrection and task of glory, to know
and to do Gods within the words
of st. Paul: Looking unto Jesus the
author and finisher of our faith; who
for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross, despising the
shame, and is set down at the right
hand of the throne of Cod"
Gods purpose for all is infinite
good. Let us not limit ourselves by
looking at the outward, material
sense of things; but by humbly ac-
cepting Truth let us open our hearts
to its embodiment in our own lives.
In this way not only shall we be
blessed, but we shall bless many 9TH
ers. Gods man expresses Life, in
health, goodness, wholeness, abun-
dance, Joyous activity.
To see every man as Gods reflec-
ton or expression is to uplift not
only our own consciousness, but all
whom our lives touch. Then indeed
can we understand Jesus great proof
of Truth and Love and his triumph
over sin, sickness, and death. And
he left this proof for everyone to
profit by, and each one can begin
right where he is to claim his do
minion as Gods son. Jesus said, "Go
to my brethren, and say unto them,
| ascend unto my Father, and your
Father; and to my God, and your
God" John 20:17). He said in sub
stance that all who do Gods will
are his brethren. This is true be-
cause God is our only parent. Our
resurrection will come as we turn
to God and strive to do His will.
Each day we can rise in the con-
sciousness of what Life, God, really
is. The last verse of the above-men.
toned poem reads:
Living meekly as the Master,
Who of God was glorified,
Looking ever to the radiance
OF his wondrous Eastertide;
Freed of fear, of pain, and sorrow,
Giving God the honor due,
Every day will be an Easter
Filled with benedictions new"
