TOMATO WORMS BUGLES
(Protoparce SeTta).
~ ;lj,on NV Athev
By liIlion Cox Athey

Gardeners going out to pick a
luscious tomato often discover the
great green caterpillar they forgot
to knock off covered with gray
bugles. Many have decided it was
another invader in their garden.
The fat green caterpillar was dis
covered by his arch enemy, the Bra
conid fly }(Apanteles congregatus) !,
whose offspring must have food and
shelter. She hovers over the cater
pillar until she can give him swift
stab with her stilleto egg placer.
The worm rears instantly. She flies
low to give him another jab. This
is kept up for an hour or more until
his body is sown full of eggs. Then
she departs. Her maternal RESPONSE
bilities are over.
In two days the eggs hatch. The
grubs live off their hosts fat cells
and blood. He eats and eats, but
the gnawing feeling continues in
his body. One day, about two weeks
after the invasion, the grubs develop
cutting jaws and a silk gland in
their lower lip. Then with one &C
cord they march toward his back
and sides to cut their way through
his skin.
Hanging half way out they begin
spinning silk for a cocoon in which
to hide. At last they are hidden.
The doomed caterpillar moves over
the plant without zest or desire for
food. The occupants of the bugles
now climb to the top to snip round
hole from which they will take off
By the time the last one has de-
parted, the caterpillar is past re-
covery His strength is all gone,
his body shrunken and empty. He
falls to the ground, where hungry
bird discovers him or eager ants
drag him to their larder.
Tomato worms enter the ground
to pupate. They fashion a shiny
brown case about them. 1t has a
mysterious appearing handle on the
outside. This is the tongue case.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1948-09-23
Not This

The tomato worm Transforming into
moth will have very long tongue.
The handle, so-called, is merely a
case for it.
The caterpillar left to fulfill its
cycle will remain in the ground all
winter to step out hawk or
"humming- bird" moth, so called be-
cause of their swift, strong flight.
The moth poises above blossoms and
uses the 3 to inch tongue to reach
the nectar and transfer pollen
grains.
The moths lay their eggs on the
underside of the tomato plant leaf,
where later they are seen as green
worms.

By Fronk Colby
Readers Corner.

Los Angeles. Your explanation
that a fourtlusher is a player who
tries to win the pot by blutt1ng with
a four-card flush is incomplete.
Actually, the fourhuSher shows his
hand with the fifth card partly con-
cealed and dishonesty claims the
pot. From this poker expression we
have the general meaning OF four
flusher: One who makes petty ana
dishonest pretensions; hence, q
phony or humbug.-J. B. T.
Answer: Thanks. I confess to a
very scant knowledge of poker. But
l bow to no man when 1t comes to
old maid or casino.
San Fernando: Recently you gave
the pronunciation of paraplegic as
''par-uh -PLEDGE-ik" During my
six months at Birmingham Hospital,
where there are more than 100 para
plegics, never heard your pronunci-
alton. Every one says "par-uh-
PLEE- jiks. w. M. r.
Answer: G. NJ B., a registered
nurse of Milwaukee, also tells me
that nurses, doctors, and patients
always say par uh-PLEE- jik" If
that pronunciation prevails in med
ical usage, it must, of course, be
recognized as best usage.
However, let me point out that
par uh-PLEDGE-ik Is the only
pronunciation listed by Dorland S
Medical Dictionary. Also, "par-uh-
PLEDGE-ik" is the first choice of
Merriam Websters, New Century,
and the American College Diction-
airy. The word paraplegic is not list
ed in several other dictionaries. But
Funk and Wagnalls list 'par-un-
PLEE-jik" as only choice.
Visalia: That "long" word you ran
recently - Observation-Disclosures
tialy-is almost monosyllabic COM
pared to this one: Papiliocartigenius-
nlgrescensalbaliniapropeextremitati-
busalarium. It's the name OF small

| Claremont: Now you sanction
"kloze" for the word clothes. That
settles it! From now on I cease to
quote Colby. You have forfeited any
claim to authority.-Mrs. j. H.
Answer: "kloze" (my phonetics)
is the first choice of the American
College Dictionary and Thorndike
Century, and the only choice Of
Words: The New Dictionary. Ken
yon and Knott list "kloze" as first
choice, stating, 1T has been the cul-
tivated colloquial pronunciation for
200 years. The Linguistic Atlas of
the U. S. and Canada shows an
overwhelming majority for kloze."

Opening lead, five of hearts.
The key man of the defense in q
great many hands is the third hand;
that is, the partner of the opening
leader. The opening lead is many
times a shot in the dark and it be-
comes the duty of the third hand to
guide the defense by advising part
ner whether or not the suit that was
opened should be continued. This is
done by means of conventional sig
mails. Whether or not to signal for
the continuation of a suit sometimes
requires the exercise of keen judg-
ment.
In today's hand, South became
declarer at contract of three no.
trump on more or less normal bid
ding. West opened the five of hearts
and dummy perforce played the ace.
East was satisfied with the lead and
was DESTROYS of having partner con-
tinue the suit. He felt that the
seven was high enough card, to
serve as an encouraging signal, and
consequently played it with conf
dence. Declarer entered his hand
with a diamond and tried the club
tlnesse, which failed East then
cashed the king and jack of hearts,
and since West could not overtake
the trick without setting up de-
clarer'S ten, the suit was blocked and
declarer ran off with nine tricks.
Proper play by East at trick one
would have led to the defeat of the
contract. The jack and not the
seven should have been played under
the ace. This runs counter to the
advice contained in the old adage
about never signaling with an
honor, but as with SO many of the
old bromides, this one must be taken
with a grain of salt and an ounce Of
good Judgment. In the first place, a
seven spot is not come-on signal
if it happens to be your lowest card
in the suit. Even an eight or nine
could be discouraging card if you
have nothing but higher cards in
your hand.
Secondly, the play of the jack
could not possibly lose on this hand.
If South holds the queen, there is
no hope for the defense. If West
holds the queen and the ten, the
play will make no difference. If
South holds the ten and the nine,
the defense is again helpless. But
If South holds the ten and West the
queen, nine, unlocking with the
jack is absolutely essential
Where play cannot possibly lose
and might win, it is obviously the
correct procedure. To put it in an
other way, a defender must be ex-
tremely cautious in leaving himself
with two honors alone in the suit
partner has attacked at no-trump.

JEALOUS BUT UNINFORMED

AS WAS EXPECTED leaders of organized labor

 However. the championship of this system by q number ot labor people noes not carry us much weight most issues. There is almost no com pulsorY sickness insurance in the United States or Conodo. Experience with it hos been mostly Euro pean. Hence American labor hos practically no first hond knowledge of this governmental program and is not commonly posted it's drawbacks. Lubor here. for instance. is little of the many vol umes thut have been written on the problem of molingerng or feigning sickness in order to obtain cash payments.
 There are though some labor leaders who know the hundicops of the system particularly the men who have had experience with sickness insurance in their unions. They have observed number of their members claiming sickness so as to receive cash payments. especially in times of unemploY- ment. They have union sickness funds depleted While q few unions have been forced to drop their own sickness insurance. As labor becomes better informed this subject we may expect its zeal to cool.

 according to Winston Churchill A host of Euro peuns agree with this blunt oppruisol-ond are do- ing something about it. One hopeful gruss?roots effort is represented by the gathering The Hague in the early part of May of 700 delegates to the Congress of Europe.
 It hos no governmental sponsorship. It was orqun- ized by number of groups like the European Par iumenturY Union and leaders like Count Couden- hove-Kdlergi who have long lubored for European unity Possibly because non-Socidliss like Mr. Chur- chill (the keYnoter) and Edouord Herriot and Paul von Zeelond are prominent in the project the So- ciolists have officially frowned upon the meeting. But many Socialists are attending. and there is evi- dence of wide popular support throughout west ern Europe This kind of unofficial action. this kind of popular support essential to the success and extension of governmental steps. such us the Brussels five-power Western Union" pact

And muny Europeans have noticed the kind of unity another totolitdridn system imposes. Stdlin may prove one ot the principle creators of European union. The uspiring people meeting d The Hdque will have other special and very practical problems Whot is to be done about Germany? MT. Churchill is urging his old French comrades to find q new fellowship with the western Gemuns and to allow them full economic share in the life of Europe There is, too. behind everything. the question of Russid and the United States. How close should be the ties of Europe with the United States?
 Europe is glad to have economic help from Amer icu. Many Europeans also are genuinely devoted to the ideuls of freedom which America upholds But majority of Europeans are desperately concerned lest their homes become battlefield for war be- tween Russiu and the United Stutes And q majority for reason or another do not accept completely orthodox American views of democracy or cupitu ism.
 For such reasons they prefer Europe politically independent of Russiu and the United States alike This fact is likely to color even the preliminary steps towurd European union. It is not it seems to us reason for withholding American support for thut movement If the choice is us Mr. Churchill says unity or catastrophe Moreover. there is good reason to believe thut united Europe would be great boon to the United States.

 What about the power of the lie? When a person is sworn to tell lies under the necessity of advancing his own purposes, then it is very difficult for an honest man to know how to deal with that person. This is not a matter of viewpoint" I am talk ing about refer to the use of the lie in the dealings of men. I mean lack of integrity, as op- posed to the truth and honesty.
 The good" Communist is sworn to lie. Unfortunately all the liars are not in Russia, nor even in the Communist Party in this country. Life would be much more sim pie if they were0 However, ann ong our so-called liberals, and even the fellow-travelers, there are those who are waking up to the fact that disdain for plain old honesty and integrity is one of the chief characteristics of Com munism. I know only one an swer to the problem of the lie, that is: the truth.
 Morality Needed
 If there were only one Com munist in the world, folks with. truth in their lives could isolate him easily enough. But when you admit the tactics of lying into in- ternational relationships, things be- gin to get complicated. It is in- deed real problem to deal with nations which lack moral integ- rity, and my sympathies go out to our statesmen who have to meet the Communists on inter national issues.
 To illustrate. Shortly after Pres ident Truman's message to Con- gress on European recovery, the Moscow radio announced: "The essence of the Marshall Plan is war" Marshall, the radio said, was out chiefly to assist Ameri- can monopolies. MT. Marshall was called the intimate friend of Wall Street big wigs" It seems that to represent Secretary of State Marshall as imperialist, monopo- list, oppressor, warmonger is just routine Communist tactics.
 Nothing on Merit
 Secretary Marshall is not an imperialist, and he is not try ing to conduct a program in Eur ope in the interest of American monopolies, and so on, which fact everyone knows. Even the Russians who were saying those things knew the statement swere untrue, Their method of defeat ing the Marshall Plan at that time was to misrepresent it They didn't dare criticise it on it's mer- it's.
 These statements were designed of course, for the American pub lie. To the American public this particular incident was perhaps of little importance in itself. How ever, it is useful in demonstrat- ing the tactics used by Commun- ists in America for several dec- ades. These men knew at the start it would not be easy to un- h~~1u;z.-
