Jacksonville People Lose Home in Fire (Special to The Star.) NEW BERN, May 10■—The home of *Tr. and Mrs. W. E. .Sabiston and its .contents at Jacksonville, Onslow coun ty, were destroyed by fire shortly af \er noon yesterday, according to a mes sage received here. The blaze was thought to have been caused by a spark from a Are in the chimney of an ad joining house on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Sabiston had been at work in the kitchen and detected the odor of smoke. She walked through the house •to the front porch and without finding any blaze, was about to return. Just as she entered the hall the ceiling a few feet away fell through and within five minutes the entire building was enveloped. The couple, only recently married, had Jpeen in the home exactly one week, having had the house remodeled and painted and fitted out with new furni ture. This and their clothing were lost. Mr. Sabiston is in the mercantile business at Jacksonville. NEGRO FINDS NEW YORK EQUALITY TALK IS BAIT (From the New York Times) George Johnson, 24, of 319 West Thirty-ninth street, who admits he came to this city recently from a large plantation in Louisiana on the strength of glowing reports of conditions in New York, confessed yesterday in gen eral sessions that he has changed his views. At the same time he made it plain his advice to southern negroes who feel that they are “underpaid and ■underfed” would be to stay “down home.” Not long after he had landed in New York, according to the story he told the court, Johnson and another negro, Julius Brook?, 27, of 8693 Eighteenth avenue, Brooklyn, also lately from the south, found themselves without work or. money or prospect of either. That, explains why they were boring a hole from the hallway at 454 Seventh avenue into the clothing store of Hy man Bernstein, when Patrolman Wil liam L. Rode, of the West Thirtieth street station, happened along. Both pleaded guilty and were sent to El mira for indeterminate periods. Before they were sentenced, they ex plained that “down south” they had heard wonderful stories about New York being a place where whites and blacks were on a common social and industrial footing. r~—-’— -'-> Beautiful Los Angeles Woman Gives Tanlac Credit for Health MR3.

A Glimpse Into the Bug World By FRANKLIN SHERMAN (Division of Entomology, North Caro lina Experiment Station and Exten sion Service.) i Facts aibout the number ana variety of forms of animal life are of much in terest to many persons and insects are theTHOSt numerous'of all animals. Many of them are seriously destruc. tive, some only mildly or occasionally dstructive, others almost neutral in their relations to man, and some mildly or importantly beneficial. A few, the silk worm and honey bee, figure in commercial industries. The great variety of closely similar ! insects renders it impossible for an I untrained person to identify his insect ( foes and friends with certainty, an . even those who are charged with the | study of insect problems need to have I collections and literature as an aid to (identification. In many states there ! are workers who are accumulating | records of all kinds about the insects in their states, and national institu tions undertake similar saudies for the country as a whole. In North Carolina such studies have been in progress at the State college and state department of agriculture for years, and their practical value has been demonstrated many times. Hun dreds of farmers have been saved from error and needless expense when by sending specimens we have been able to tell them that the insect they sus pected was really innocent, or when we have been able to identify a genuine offender. Such is a part of the ser vice rendered by an entomological of fice. Numerous errors have been cor_ rected with such important pests as San Jose scale, army worms, Hessian fly, boll weevil, and many others. It is often possible to recognize insects reported to be "new” as old inhabitants temporarily abundant or destructive, as was the case with the soybean worm in 1919, canker worms in 1917 to 1920, and oak wopms in 1922. In such cases needless fears may be calmed and the people saved from unwise expenditure, or they may be directed when action is needed. v Errors? Of course—we're human— we cannot always know what the fu ture course of an insect may be, but repeated observations and records of ten indicate the probabilities. The studies made by the division of Entomology are aimed to accumulate as complete a condensed record as pos sible of the entire insect life of North Carolina. Teh division studies all spe- and makes a sort of Inventory on the whole group with an indication of where found and when in flight or ac tivp. Thus far (to late April, 1923) over 6,800 species are on our records. Would you be interested to have an idea of the main groups? 1. Starting with the group of grass hoppers, crickets, cockroaches, rear horses, etc., we know of exactly 199 species in the state. In this connection it is curious to note that the eggs of Katydids (virtually harmless) are of ten mistaken for scale insects which are entirely different creatures. 2. In the group of true bugs, which includes many destructive kinds, we have record of 809 distinct species. In this group are the scale insects, aphids and others. 3. Then comes a miscellaneous group which includes the mosquito_hawks and many water-breeding insects. Some of these are beneficial by prey ing on other insects, and more are in directly beneficial because they are themselves the food of important food or game fishes. In this group are 293 species. 4. The butterflies and moths; com prise a large group, and are the par ents of all that we commonly call “cat erpillars.” In this, group we have rec ords of 839 species. ^— 5. The true flies include house fly, blow-fly, mosquitoes, gnats, horse-flies and many others. It was 1,158 dis tinct species in our records, the second largest group in our present record. 6. The beetles include potato beetle, boll weevil and hundreds, yes thou sands of others. With 2,379 species in our records, it is our largest group. 7. The vroup of bees, ants and wasps not true-blue insects, but may be in cluded in this general summary. Of these we have 177 species on record. 8. The spiders, centipedes, etc., are are represented with 960 species on record, and more being added contin ually. If you total these you will find 6,814 species in all, or 6,637 of the true in sects. and plenty more to follow. Quite a large family of “little folks” you’ll agree, and we cannot distinguish all of them at a glance. If often re quires many glances and sometimes we have to send specimens to other stu dents for their glances, and there are many puzzles. Scores, even hundreds, of insects look so much alike that the average person would think them the same, yet their habits and food may be importantly different. Of course it complicates matters a bit that each insect has three or four separate stages in its life, so that if we knew all these insects thoroughly we would know something over 20,000 forms of insect life (including the eggs, grubs, etc.). Of course we do not claim such intimate knowledge. But the careful student is able to know the main groups, the order, the j families, the gen ra, and very many of the species. The system of classi fication shows general similarities in structures and with this there often goes a similarity of habits, so that with a species never seen before one may often infer a great deal with rea ! sonable accuracy. It’s a sort of world all to itself, this study of “bugs.” 205,000 WORKERS IN DETROIT ENGAGE IN MAKING AUTOS DETROIT, May 8.—Half the indus trial employes In Detroit in 1914 were employed in the automobile or allied industries. Today approximately two thirds of the industrial employes here are working either in automobile plants or in factories olosely allied to the au tomotive industry. —r~ Officials of the Detroit board of com merce make the announcement tc show the rapid growth of the automobile industry. At the same time it is re called that during the same period the population of Detroit has more than doubled. In 1914 Detroit had a total of 112, 483 industrial employes, and of the number about 66,000 worked in auto mobile or accessory plants. Today the city has approximately 32<K000 indus trial workers, and of these about 2061 000 are employed either in automobile plants or in establishments where parts of motor cars or motors are produced. The number of automobile* made in Michigan every year is- about 89 per cent of the total output of the country, according to statisticians of the bqard of commerce.-- - Coins, bearing the names of emperors who existed over 2,ODD years ago '.are in dally Airculatfos iii; remote parts Of China. / ARMY OFFICER GOMES TO ESTABLISH CAMP Fort Bragg Artillerymen Will Arrive Here no Latter Than May 28 Capt. C. A. Wickliffe, commanding Battery C, Fifth United States artil lery, stationed at Fort Bragg, Fayette ville, will come to Wilmington within the next day or so for the purpose of laying out the camp at Wrightsville Beach, which the soldiers of Battery C will occupy during their stay at the popular seaside resort. In a letter to Louis T. Moore, secre tary of the chamber of commerce, Cap tain Wickliffe states that his battery, not less than 125 men strong, will de part from Fobt Bragg on May 25, ar riving here not later than the 28th of the present month. The trip to Wilmington will be made by the sol diers in 12 army trucks, and they will bring with them one 155 m. m. gun, which will be displayed at some prom inent spot in the city during their stay at the beach. The artilleryment will ‘bring all camp equipment with them and will have their tents pitched a few hours after their arrival at Wrightsville Beach. Practically all of their rations will be brought with them. El Y. Davis, of the Center market, has agreed to furnish free of charge, cold storage for the fresh meat which the soldiers will bring with them from Fort Bragg. Tuttles Drug Store Robber Gets $115.00 Enters Through Window Wed nesday Night; Negro Arrested James Purdy, a negro, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Wil liam E. Watson, on the charge of store breaking and the larceny of $115 in money and checks from Tuttle’s Phar macy, 1520 Market street, which es tablishment was entered and robbed on Wednesday night-' D. B. Seitter, employe, reported to the store that he closed the establishment between 10 and 11 o’clock, and B. M. Tuttle, managing member of the firm, informed the department that he re turned to the store about midnight, finding the cash register rifled. Mr. Tuttle reported that an investi gation also revealed.that entrance was effected through a rear window, which he reported was found unlocked. Noth ing other than the money and checks is missing, Mr. Seitter stated. CANADA SEEKS TO FORESTALL FUEL SHORTAGE NEXT WlNTR OTAWA, Ont., May 10.—Federal and provincial governments of Canada are trying to find a way to meet next win ter’s fuel demands without leaving the country wholly dependent upon the United States, having in mind the threat of embargo last fall when Ameri can communities were suffering from a shortage. Canada has vast stores of both soft and hard coal, but transportation dif ficulities will prevent their development so long, as the Pennsylvania-West Vir ginia hard coal field continues to pro duce and there isno check on exports. Testimony before a Senate committee indicates that Nova Scotia can meet all demands for soft coal. Thesearch for substitute for Pennsylvania anthracite has not been successful. The richest hard coal field known in Canada is in Alberta. It is far re moved from transportation lines and, as one expert said, "it might as well be in China." About 200,000,000 tons of fair quality anthracite could be pro duced there by strip mining, and Bub surface mining, it was said, would bring out billions of tons. Thedeposit is in the Hay and Smoky Valleys of Alberta. KALFARLI CASE SETTLED OUTSIDE OF THE COURT FederaJ Judge H. G. Connor on yes terday signed an order discontinuing the case in admiralty of the Broadfoot Iron Works against the Steamship Kal farli.

WOMAN PROPHET ARRESTED BERGEN, Norway, May 9.—The lat est "dream preacher,” one Maria Aker blom, has been arrested in Finland. The woman caused such a furor among the working classes that the authorities felt forced to take action. Going from place to place on horse back, with owing Ihalr, Marla fore told the immediate end of the world. She declared that In view of this to own a house or land, to save money or do any kind of work, was useless. As a result of her preaching all of her large following of peasants, it is said, have been economically ruined. Orlent l,odge, So, 885, A. F. and A. "M.
