BUG8 . . . over 10,000,000 klnda
Entomologists, which means stu
dents of insects, have calculated that
there are more than 10 million dif
ferent kinds of insects in the world.
New varieties are being discovered
every little while all over the world.
In the past half century, since scien
tific research has centered upon in
sects, we learned that few insects
are harmless, either to human beings
or to the sourccs of food while many
of them are dangerous to human lives.
Moreover, with the expansion of trade
all over the world, insects travel free
ly and their ravages are no longer
confined to one part of the globe.
I remember as a boy when the so
called "Colorado beetle," the striped
potato bug, first appeared in New
England. For sixty years now potato
growers ahve had to wage war on
that insect pest. Lately in the East a
new insect pest, the Japanese beetle,
has spread so rapidly that hardly any
vegetation or foliage is safe from its
greedy appetite. The corn-borer, the
Mediterranean fruit-fly, and many
other crop-destroying bugs have been
brought under only partial control in
th? regions where they have estab
lished themselves.
MOSQUITOES .... bring fever
In 1847 a ship put into the thriv
ing, prosperous seaport of Port St.
Joe, in West Florida, with a case
of yellow fever on board. Within
a few weeks almost the entire popu
lation of Port St. Joe was dead or
dying of "yellow-jack.* There were
not enough men left alive to bury
the dead. No count could be kept
of the thousands of bodies which
vmm burled* in y. grant, .trftnchjofl
the outskirts of the town. Survivors
left after the epidemic. From a busy
trade center Port St. Joe relapsed
into an obscure fishing village, and
only now, after 90 years^ it Is begin
ning to come back.
The discovery that yellow fever
and malaria are carried by certain
varieties of mosquitoes is one of the
greatest triumphs of science. Now
yellow fever has been completely
.stamped out in North America, ma
laria reduced to a hundredth of its
former prevalence, by draining and
oiling the swamps and pools in which
the species of mosquitoes used to
breed which carry the germs of those |
diseases.
With international aviation grow
ing, the fear that planes from parts
of Asia and South America, where
disease - breeding mosquitoes still
flourish, may bring them to this coun
try, is a real one. Part of man's war1
on insects is in guarding against such
transmission of disease.
FLEAS bring plague
The bubonic plague, which at in
tervals has ravaged whole nations,
is carried by fleas from one person
to another. Scientists discovered
that rats are the intermediary. A
flea bites a plague victim, then at
taches itself to a rat. Any flea that
bites that rat will infect any person
whom he later bites. Once that was
proved, the remedy was clear. Ex
terminate rats, and keep them from
traveling from plague-infested re
gions to other parts of the world.
That is why, in every seaport one
sees ships tied up to their piers with
wide, circular metal shields affixed
to their hawsers. Those are to keep
rats from leaving the ship, if it came
from a plague port, or from going
aboard if there is plague in the port
where it ties up. Rats use ships' ropes
as bridges to travel between ship and
shore.
All the civilized nations have
adopted the same method? to prevent
the spread of the plague. News of
a single case occurring in any part
of the world is telegraphed to all
the other ports, for them to be on
j::;uard against rats carrying fleas,
which in turn carry plague-germs.
WAR on house-flies
When the pink boll-weevil came
out of Mexico and began to ruin the
cotton-growers of the South, Texas
prohibited cotton-growing in a strip
100 miles wide along the Mexican
border. Texas Rangers ?ee to it
that nobody grows -a single cotton
plant in that area. All over the
South the war on the vc#itle tick,
which gives cattle "Texis fever", is
being won by compusory "dipping"

ROOTING PLANTS
NOW SIMPLE JOB
Rcently discovered substances call
ed "auxins' are proving a boon to [
nurserymen and others interested in
propogating plants from cuttings,
A small amount of one of these |
substances placed in the water in
which the cutting is partly immersed
will cause a vigorous mass of roots to j
appear on the cutting, says Dr B. W.
Wells, head of the State College Bo
tany Department.
No demonstrated answer has been j
given as to why these substances have
this strange power. Only theories
have been advanced. One leading
idea is that the auxin increases the
plasticity of the cell walls making
them again like young walls, a con
dition which induces the root-pro
ducing to enter upon a new cycle of
growth. Again it may be the direct
action on the living substance of the
pi.rtt^n for ^Armistice Day * by A. B. CHAPIN
THIS WEEK IN
WASHINGTON
Washington, November 3 (Auto
caster)?Interest here is divided be
tween the outlook for the special
session of Congress on November 15
and the appointment by the President
of his son "Jimmy" as coordinator of
Federal commissions and bureaus.
The heads of the eighteen largest in
dependent and "emergency" govern
ment agencies will hereafter report to
James Roosevelt instead of to Frank
lin D. Young Mr. Roosevelt will give
each of them half an hour of time
once a week, in which they are to
tell him their troubles and bring up
matters which seem to call for Presi
dential decision.
Through the medium of his son,
the President will be kept informed
of the acts and problems of these
agencies, saving a great deal of Presi
dential time and labor. Something
of the sort was included in the pro-.
posal for administratitve reorganiza
tion which Mr. Roosevelt submitted
10 the Congress early in the year. In
cluded in that plan was a recommen
dation for six Executive assistants to
perform for the President in all de
partments just what James Roosevelt
is now undertaking to do in eighteen
departments.
Washington Likes "Jimmy"
That "Jimmy," as everybody In
Washington calls him, will be able to
do the job is generally believed. Since
James Roosevelt quit his insurance
business in Boston a couple of year#
ago to join his father in Washington,
first as a part of personal attendant
in his capacity as a Marine Corps re
serve officer and for nearly a year
now as a regularly appointed member
of the White House secretariat "Jim
my" has been making firends among
politicians and administrative official#,
who regard him as his father's mouth
piece, and latterly among the news
paper correspondents, with whom he
is the most popular press representa
tive the President has yet had. News
paper men believe he will make good
'in a job which, on the face of it, looks
like a heavy load for a young man
still under thirty.
He must have almost unbelievable
tact, for he will be dealing with much
older men of wider experience and
personal pride of position, who are
good judges of men, and are going to
be wary of the youngster until they
have got his measure. Moreover,
men like Chairman Eccles of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, Harry Hopkins,
Relief Administrator, Jesse Jones of
the R. F. C., and the others^ are going
to be put off easily when they want
to see the President himself. They
must feel that his office door is open
to them when they feel it necessary
to see him, or they won't play. *
The Chance of a Lifetitme
Therefore, Washington is asking ;
"Can Jimmy get away with it?" Haj
he the capacity to understand and .
absorb the questions placed before
him, the skill to present them accu
rately and briefly to the President,
and the personality to get answers
and action? If he has such ability
and such frankness that nobody can
ever pin upon him the sign of the
double cross, he has the most bril
liant opportunity that could come to
a young man with ambitions about
his own political future. He n.ay
easily become a more significant r...d
effective figure in the Federal Gov
t mment than most of its elected of
ficials and many of its appointed
judges.
The physical strain will be enor
mous, but "Jimmy" has shown him
self able to stand a lot Over six feet
tall, slender and sinewy, he has plenty
o* endurance. As a "double Roose
velt" ? his mother was born Roose
velt, the niece of "T. R."?he has all
ol the charm and good looks of the
family, plus tact and patience in full
measure. He puts on no "side", and
makes a decidedly pleasing impres
sion upon almost everybody who
nleets him. And if he makes in his
new job of saving his father's time
and strength and, especially ^ in con
veying to him the precise facts about
cbnditoins in the offices which are

8peeial Congress Face* Dilemma
As to the special session of Con
gress, Washington observers are
skeptical about its finishing any im
portant part of the program of legis
lation for which the President
it. Mr. Roosevelt has asked for a
broader program of farm reiki, bofc
accompanied that with an ^ .
demand that Congress must find tin
money, without running up expmai
above income. That means new tax
