A plague of locusts, like thut which In ancient Egypt “covered the face of the earth." this year descended upon tlie province of Santa Fe, Argentina. Similar offensives are almost annual events In one part or another of the country. The locusts come suddenly nnd without warning.

At first little damage Is «lone hut as they progress through the country they ' ore liol»-« Into the earth. Into which they deposit their eggs. Within a short time the larvae are hatched and come forth. At first these can not fly. and It is at this stage that they devour every living plant within their path, with the exception of a few species, such a* willow trees.

Ore. 10 I Vu.e'o Tit lut» uno I'uphi.el America's natural gas supply Is be ing »xhaUHted by criminal negligence and reckless extravagance, according to Prof. Robert II. Fernaid. head of tin- department of mechanical engineer ing In the University of Pennsylvania, who In a survey for the American So- clety of Mechanical Engineers urges the use of by-product producer gas to relieve an ncute nutlonal situation. “The rapid exhaustion of our nat ural gas supply through criminal neg ligence and reckless extravagance re sulting In drastic restrictions In order to conserve what little we have left bring* u* abruptly to 11 realization of the situation mid lead* us seriously to query regarding |><>*alble substitu tions for this remarkable natural fuel," says Dr. Fernald. formerly engineer in Investigation* upon gu* producer-' for the United State* geological survey and the bureau of mines. Situation Is Acute. 'The situation is acute. It Is there- fore Inqieratlve that we begin exhaus tive Investlgntlon* to determine the most practical solution of the indus trial problems thut have been for luuny years pqwt so vitally depeudeut upon our natural gas supply. The results reiuheil through such Investigations may lead Into channels quite different from those under consideration at the present time, as the necessity of the situation may develop unthought of |H>sslhllities. • "With the limited amount of study that hns been given to this problem ■ to date, the most conspicuous source | of relief seems to be through the de velopment of.by-product producer gas. This, of course. Is practically an un known field In the United States. Spasmodic attempts to develop Inter est have come to the attention of en gineers from time to time, but no seri ous study of the situation In Its relation to the larger oauiiiercial de velopments of the country has as yet been undertaken. "In Europe we find by-product pro ducer gas somewhat extensively used and the large central station near the mines recovering the hy-products from the fuel and distributing the gas un der pressure for several miles through the Industrial districts, has become s dependable source of supply. “Through the abundance of our fuel -upply and our Indifference to the needs of future generations we have been ruthlessly extravagant and waste ful of our fuel resources during the past decades. An appreciation of the necessity of recovering by-producta has hut recently received thoughtful con sideration from those ncencias that are most seriously interested in the I problems of fuel conservation. Study and Research. “At the present moment low temper ature distillation processes are at tracting more than casual attention, investigutiod may show a combination of low temperature distillation and the manufacture of by-product producer gas to be a distinctly economfcr.l und commercial solution of our natural gas problems, as these processes, on the :>ne hand, lead to the maximum by product recovery, and. on the other, to a supply of gas commercially adapt able to heating ami general industrial processes. “Our natural gas situation Is a seri ous one. The solution requires more than the casual financial Interest of the private dividend seeker. It re quires systematic study and research Involving the expenditure of large sums of money. It Is a problem of national Importance and must he at tacked on a broad basis. It calls for the best thought and most serious con sideration of the ablest experts avail able. financially supiHirted from sources that will guarantee the re sults of the Investigation to bo free from industrial and commercial bias, "It has been estimateti that two dec- tides will see the total exhaustion of the natural gas supply, We cannot nf- ford to wait longer.” Enormoua Ear*. that Isn't such a bad name, a* we often do run and Jump. I weigh "We're very enormous, something like 3o<> pound«, I've been told. Our antlers are large and beau tlful. more so than those of the White Tailed Deer. "In fact they often look to peoph like the antlers of an elk, which I coo elder a grant compliment. “Our antlers or horns are dlfferetr from those of the White-Tailed family, because they have three spikes on each of their antlers, and we have two Y-shn|ied prongs on each of our antlers. "We care for ravines and mountains, and we love wild life, though here It' the zoo we are living happily. "And now that I've talked so much, what have you to say for yourself. Axl* Deer? Though one of us may have the most Important part In a story. It'« not fair to take up the whole ■tory unless we've got a great, great deal to sn.v for ourselves. "You're such a beautiful deer that vou should talk end tell folks why you're so Ix’autlful. and you should tell how nice you are. You are used to the tropic«, nnd you get along nl’ right In the zoo, though when It Is old the kee[>er has you In a nice warm deer house, where there Is com fortable heat.” "Y’ou ask me to tell my story." said the Axis Deer, “hut I have so little to tell. True, they say I am beau tlful. My cont Is handsome, ft I* spotted and «lecnrntetl with light spots hnd m.v coat Is beautiful and soft nnd rich In color. "My horns, too, are large and grace ful, nnd I am graceful myself, they say. "Hut I cannot tell why I am beautl ful. except that my family have a! ways been that way. \ "And I always was told to follow the example of my elders, and It came quite naturally for me to do so. "Therefor,- I cannot get any praise for that. "But. beauty, beauty, it Isn’t for beauty that I care! I love It here where 1 can walk out In the big yard when the early spring days come, nnd 1 enn see nil the Howers waking up in the big park, nnd then the birds be gin to sing nnd the leaves whisper illld tell me secrets. "Oh. then I don't think of m.v beauty nt nil, hut only flint 1 nm happy.
