THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY

If Monarch Butterflies could be
marked with Identification bands
just as birds are, we might learn
some amazing stories about their
journeys. For Monarchs are
among the strongest fliers and
most famous travellers in the but
terfly world.
In the winter, they may be seen
only in the warmest parts of the
south. But in the summer great
swarms of them appear in the
most parts of the United States.
There are many mysteries about
how they carry on these migra-
tions, says the National Wildlife
Federation, but it is no secret
that they go where they can find
milkweed. They feed on the plant
and lay their eggs on its stems and
leaves.
The tiny green eggs hatch about
four days after they are laid. From
each egg comes a caterpillar which
grows to be about two inches long.

charge of defense publicly won
der why American rearmament,
has not moved faster, the Senate
Small Business Committee found
the answer.
American homes are without
adequate defense because of the
unbridled greed of a few big
monopoly-minded corporations.
x 4 4
These GOliaths, holding the
major share of the prime de-
fense contracts are supposed to
sub-cOntract parts of the work
to independent business firms.

The committee reports this is
not being done.
X X
Big corporations, are expand
ing their plant facilities, encOur-
aged by rapid tax amortizatiOns
which will permit them to skim
the cream without paying a
normal tax. They are sitting on
the defense contracts they hold,
planning on doing the work that
was expected they would sub
contract to small firms.
X 4
AS a matter of fact, these big
corporations who hold most of
the defense contracts, are still
turning out consumer goods at
such a rapid rate that there is
a surplus Of the cars, TV sets,
refrigerators and other items
they make which they are hav-
ing trouble selling.

But their smaller competitors,
not holding defense contracts,
cannot get the raw materials,
either, to maintain a high rate
of consumer goods production.
It's probably the first time in
history that a democratic gov
ernment has made it profitable
to play dog in the manger.
That is why in Washington it
is privately held that no big
war is on the horizon.

sive work such as now being

tee the American system will
be lost without a shot being

pillar goes through all the steps of

lily has brilliant, reddish-browr
wings with black veins and bord-

of white spots. When its wings
are stretched out, the Monarch

Since there is less than a month
between the laying of an egg and
the appearance of the adult butter
fly, the Monarch population grows
rapidly each summer. Although
some of them may be eaten by
birds, the losses are not great be-
cause most birds do not like Mon
arch caterpillars and butterflies.
This, too, enables them to thrive
and multiply.
While they become numerous,
they do not cause any trouble. The
only growing thing which they rel
ish is milkweed-a plant which has
no value to man.
