TOM AND JERRY
Mr. Doodle Goes t0 TOWN

Like the term Yankee" the song
Yankee Doodle" is of uncertain
origin. In my research, / have come
across many different versions, and
no two are in absolute agreement.
For example, one Kossuth, a
Magyar, is said to have recognized
the tune as on the national airs of
his race. An American diplomat of
the last century is reported to have
discovered the tune among the
ancient sword dances of the Basques.
A scholar, "Porson Junior" in 1889
wrote in the United States Maga-
zine that Yankee Doodle" is of
classic origin. 'It was chanted in
the day of Herodotus, and, perhaps,
in those of Homer. Its Greek name
was 'Iankee Doule.'"
!, The Dutch claimed it as an old
folksong of Holland, sung by labor
ers in the lowlands:
Yanker; nlsIr; didel; doodle down.
Yankee viver. voover. vown,
Bothermilk and tauther.
There was a tradition that the
original song was directed at Oliver
Cromwell, and alluded to his going
into oxford wearing on his hat a
single plume fastened in a knot
called a ''Macaroni."
Yankee Doodle came to town,
Upon O little poney;
He stuck feather in his hat,
And call'd it macaroni.
Only this is certain: During the
events that preceded the Revolu-
tionary War, the British on every
occasion played Yankee Doodle" in
ridicule of Americans, whom they
regarded as pumpkins.

Bumblebee Hawk Moth.

Among natures children imitation
serves as protection. BY way of ex-
ample, see how the bumblebee hawk
moth has copied madam bumblebee
for elf-preservation.
Early in the spring when the
bayonet-armed bumblebee is search
ing for nectar for her honey pot,
she visits many generous flowers.
She is big in her plush coat and
her wide transparent wings. The
moth does an excellent job imitat-
ing her.
About the time the blustery lady
is building her nursery, the moth
creeps from his trappings under
which he has undergone the miracle
Of Transforming from q caterpillar
into winged moth. AS he pulls out
OF the cocoon, his wings are thatch-
ed with dark brown scales. Within
a few flights these have dropped off
leaving the wings as transparent as
those OF the bumblehee. Further,

his antennae is short, black and
clubbed. On blossom, he would
fool the elect. Most surely, he is
safe from birds.
These moths are especially fond
of snowberry leaves. Some member
of the tribe is found from New
England to Georgia, and westward
to the eastern border of the Great
Plains.
The blue eggs are laid on the un-
derside of the leaf. Later black
horned cream colored caterpillars
will be nibbling tiny holes through
the leaves. The good-natured
healthy babies will be so full Of
leaf juice they are tinted q lovely
shade Of green.
ALI they are interested in is their
greens" If you touch them they
remain still, no rear raising or horn
projecting. Birds swoop down to
lift tender morsel for the hungry
baby at home. Hundreds of them
are kidnapped for this purpose.
Those remaining continue to gorge,
soon wriggle out Of tight skin into

a more roomy one, and finally reach
a length Of 1K inches.
Now the leaf consumer fasts and
turns brown under many silken
threads to await spring.
About the time the bumblebee is
attending to maternal duties at
home, the moth is fitting around
visiting flowers. Resting on q bios
som, drinking its fill of nectar, it
most certainly resembles humble
bee. The plush coat and transparent
wings are enough to make any hun
CRY bird detour.
The snowberry moth will come
and visit you If you only provide
snowberry bush for him and his
offspring. Our grandmothers, when
little girls, made pearl necklaces of
the snowberries and the blossoms
served nectar to many interesting
guests. Besides, the white flowers are
fragrant and the leaves taste like
wintergreen. One member of the
family Is a creeper, loving cool damp
woods. Take your choice.
