good pitcher and catcher; the 9TH
ers to be selected from the towns
talent. Years ago the ball grounds
were on the not now occupied by
the railroad station and when the
contests ragged with excitement, or
promised to be just that, the home
club would have a good pitcher
from Smyrna named "Bill" Stey-
ems and he could play air-tight ball
as often as desired. His pitching
was a complete puzzle to the op-
posing side.
The blinking lights at Ginn's
Corner continues to be a possible
death-trap and the hair-raising ex-
periences there have been recorded
from time to time. Two or three
cars have been badly damaged
there due to collisions as no safety
device is there to protect the mo-
torists. And strange to say a lot
of the cars approaching that point
are going at ninety miles per hour.
With such speed these drivers
could not slow down quick enough
to avoid an accident, should some
iriver venture across the highway
Just ahead of them. So far moth
ng has been done to eliminate this
hazard and9 of course, the danger
urks there from day to day. Why
his delay of such an important
,hange there?

there's a difference of opinion it's
best to sit right down and work
things out Clike when our volun-

AS recently as 300 years ago,
sugar refining was considered an

Hickory Horn Devil.

Hickory Horned devils are Royal
Walnut caterpillars, so called be-
cause they are the largest Of ouI
native caterpiilars. A mature one
measures Ave inches. fat and
bristling with spines and horns
They must scare hungry birds who
pass them by, not knowing what to
expect. If you touch one he rears
up into the air, all horns sprouting
with menacing aspect and the face
telescoped. The buffer is harmless
but what . sight he presents!
AS you go through the woods In
late September, you may discover
caterpillars at the base Of walnut
butternut or persimmon trees. You
may see some of them on leaves.
They are colorful now, having
discarded their black uniforms for
a livery of orange, salmon, blue,
and green with orange-colored
horns. Upon reaching the soil, they
move over 1t carefully and bur-
row in.
Shortly after the caterpillar enters
seclusion. its skin opens to permit
the pupa to emerge quickly. Al
| first it is q yellowish green. Inc
wings. antennae, and legs Of the
future moth are folded. Soon the
case turns into Q dark brown colos

and the pupa continues to transform
into q moth.
When ready to emerge, the moth
manages to push up through the
ground, creep to hostess tree
and from there send wireless to
waiting males. Her crumpled wings
give no indication Of their splendid
size.
Resting on the bark, the moth
now waves her orange-brown
wings to fill the veins. When they
are pumped UP to their full size
they are five inches across. The yell
low spots come out and the beau
tiful radio operator sends. her mes
sage. Shortly after, suitors answer.
The large eggs are laid on the
underside Of q young tender leaf.
The black youngsters upon leaving
their shell find ample food at hand.
They grow lusty and fat e1ehang-
ing four or five spine-srudded skins
before reaching maturity.
You may, follow the life cycle.
But do not disturb the cell cccu-
pant. unless you can without DAM
age remove the plot ofsdirt he Is in
and then let him remain outdoors
until July. The fun Is to hunt in
the woods for the giant caterpillars
and watch them through their
youth.

Always" is too strong a word
And Mr. Champion knows it. He
purposely uses it when talking toI
Mr.. Muzzy, for the sake of en-
phasis.
Actually, the word always"
should never be used in connecticut
with any bridge situation. Oops,
there I go doing it myself What
mean, of course, is ALMOST
never.
In today's deal, Mr.. Dale opened
the six of spades. Mr.. Mlzzy was
elated as this gave him three sure
spade tricks. He played low from
dummy and killed Mrs. Keen's
queen with the ace.
Laboriously counting his winners,
he found that he had just eight,
three spades, four diamonds and the
ace of clubs. Where was the ninth
trick coming from? Well, Mr..
Champion had said to go after the
longer suit first. There were seven
clubs in the two hands and only
six hearts. So, at trick two, Mr..
MuzZy LED a club and finesSed dunn
mys ten.
Mrs. Keen won with the jack and
returned a spade. Dummy's king
won and Mr. Muzzy came to his
hand with the ace of diamonds
and finessed the queen of clubs.
When this lost, his last spade stop
per was knocked out and he had
no further chance for three tricks.
You beat yourself at the second
trick" snarled Mr.. Champion.
"Why not start on hearts instead
of clubs? Even lead heart from
your own hand"
But you told me-" began
Mr.. Muzzy.
mo matter what I told you"
Mi. Champion interrupted, ,"it
doesn't apply here. Dale had the
danger suit, spades. He couldn't
possibly have an entry in clubs,
but only in hearts. Holding king,
JdCh d1lO CO1I Va 41Cd1 -, 1lOG1AAA6
could prevent you from winning a
heart trick and with two more
spade shoppers, you had plenty Of
time"
There you go using absoluteS

Don't say nothing could prevent
him. Something did. Muzzy him

Ex-Bond Salesman
Acquires Control of
Western Union Co.
BY Inc Assoeiuisdl Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.A former
Boston bond salesman. John Fox,
has become the largest stock
holder Of Western Union Tele-
graph Co. and financial circles
here say that, with associates, he
probably had acquired control OF
the firm.
Mr.. Fox. 45-year-old financier.
could not be reached through his
New York office for comment. A
Western Union spokesman said
the company sis In no position to
challenge the accuracy" OF the
report.
The publicity-shy former Bos-
tonian has been one Of the larger
stockholders for some time and
has been increasing his holdings.
. A report filed few days ago
with the New York Stock Ex-
change showed he directly owned
I144.0 Of the .230, IA outstand-
ing shares of Western Union stock
and indirectly owned 9,700 addi-
tional shares, or 153,760. That
would be about 1914 per cent.
|, Leslie Gould, financial editor Of
the New York. Journal-American
said yesterday Mr.. Fox now holds
