lina Commissioner of Agriculture Wil
liam A. Graham has taken Vigorous
action, throwing the entire lnspectional
machinery of his Department into the
field to search for possible specimens.
He has also embargoed fruits and
vegetables from Florida and has
quarantined against reconslgnments

Commissioner Graham requests the
public to study well this picture and
to send any suspicious specimens to
the State Department of Agriculture
for identification.
An official description of the fruit
fly. furnished by the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, follows:
"The Mediterranean fruit fly is
.About the size of a house fly?no
larger. Lake all true flies It has only
lita?ttings Thnta?us clear and
transparent except for a few brown
ish yellow spots which resemble a
kuIil. Uiuiid-strip auuss the middle1
of the wing from the front to the j
hind margin. The front outer edges
of the wings are also brownish yel
low Instead of being clear. The back
of the insect Is black and yellowish i
and the body has several yellowish
stripes around it. Only the female 1
has the so-called stinger, and this Is
a character possessed by all female
flies. The grown fly in nature would
probably frequent the shade of fruitj
trees where it would feed . upon fruit-1
Juices or where it would lay eggs in;
ripe or ripening fruit. Specimens'
thought to be thtr fruit fly should be
sent to the Department of Agriculture
for examination."

ANSWER SENT TO NOTB
Tension In the controversy between
Russia and China over the Chinese
Eastern railway, appears steadily in
creasing as reports of troop move

15.000 Manrhurian troops^ have been

Although unverified Chinese dis
patches from Peking tell of Russian
trnnns crossing the frontier. Tokyo
advices declare the border Has ddl
beeen crossed by either side.
i Officially the Chinese government
contends that the controversy will be
i adjusted amicably but a stiffening of
attitude both in Nanking and Moscow
was apparent.
Mass demonstrations against the
, "Chinese , jfascist?"..._were renewed in
