'Kitten Moth' Larva So Ugly
It Would Probably Scar
Itialf
For her sake it's a fortunate
thing this mother never sees
her offspring. She probably
could not survive the shock.
This youngster would even
scare himself as others see
him. This little character is
not only hideous, he is down
right terrifying. He or she,
as the biological difference
may be, is the offspring of a
moth which is rather plenti
ful and known as the "prom
inent." It has tufts of hair
on the wing margins and all
over the body, and has very
long hair on all the legs
enough hair, in fact, to
prompt the peculiar name of
"kitten moth." The insect is
about as hairy as a cat.
The moth's pair of fore-
wings are dark brown, while
the two rear wings are light
yellow. The moth flics only
by night. Chances are that
sooner or later one will come
to rest on your screen door
some summer evening, at
tracted by the lamplight in
side the house.
Biggar Surprise
To be so hairy as to re
semble a cat would be strange
enough, but this moth has a
bigger surprise in her bag of
tricks, for it is the parent of
one of the most grotesque in
sect larva In all the world of
Insects a world noted for its
strangeness a id unusualncss,
Here Is a larva that possess
es ugliness so great and ac
tions so terrifying he saves
himself from being eaten. He
is a genuine bugaboo in spite
of his small size, an overall
length of an inch and a half,
and smaller in diameter than
a man's little finger. He can
even give a grown man a
fright and in rare cases, ac
tually injure him.
The egg from which this
character is hatched is laid
in the litter of the forest
floor. The newly hatched crea
ture crawls forth to terrorize
his own little world by his
actions as well as his appear
ance. He has a brightly color
ed body, adorned with a few
tufts of hair.
He is hump-backed, with a
badly swollen head. Between

He has a long, forked tail
which plays an important part
In his actions. On either side
of the larva's fore-end are
two very black, conspicuous
eye spots that resemble real
eyes and add to his fierce ap
pearance. Begins Feeding
As if conscious of its safety
from most enemies, the larva
begins feeding on green
leaves. However, a noise, a
passing shadow or the violent
jarring of a bush alerts the
larva and he quickly makes
himself terrifying. He raises
the fore part of his body, wav
ing it back and forth like a
snake about to strike. He pulls
his head down and back,
which flattens out his fore end
until it resembles a snarling
face with two staring eyes. At
the same time he waves his
forked tail threateningly.
As if all this .was not
enough, the little monster
spits a stream of poisonous
fluid from his repulsive head
for an inch or so. This fluid
will blind a bird or probably
kill a lesser creature. It would
be a pretty foolhardy bird
brave enough to face such a
terrible looking object after
such a terrifying experience.
Anything as obnoxious or as
frightening as the larva of the
kitten moth deserves to be
left alone. Let him scare him

The Medical
Acromegaly
Acromegaly is the disease
which has produced many a
circus giant. What happened
to such a per
son was that,
early in life
a tiny tumor
car"d an
a d e noma
started grow
ing in the lit
1 1 c pituitary
gland, which
lies at the
base of the
brain and above the nasal
cavity. Apparently such ade
nomas produce too large an
amount of the "growth hor
mone." When one of those little
tumors develops, usually the
man's lower jaw enlarges;
also his hands, his feet, his
face, and his nose grow too
big; and sometimes he gets a
raucous voice. Fairly often he
gets diabetes, and he loses his
sexual drive. A young woman
may have menstrual disord
ers, or she may perspire too
much. In most cases, after a
while the little adenoma stops
growing, and then the acro
megaly remains stationary for
life. Sometimes, when the un
fortunate person is a woman,
she is anything but happy
about her homeliness.
In these cases, when the
doctor has an X-ray film made
of the person's head, he will
usually find the "sella turc
ica , or Turkish saddlc-thc
little depression in the floor
of the skull which contains
the pituitary gland-will be
much enlarged. Occasionally,
when the little tumor keeps
growing, it so presses on the
optic nerves as to cause blind
ness in the outer halves of
both fields of vision. It can
also cause severe headaches.
Years ago, brain surgeons
used to go in and perform the
very difficult operation of
taking out the diseased pitui
tary gland. Then my friend,
Dr. John Lawrence, Director
of the Donncr Laboratory at
the University of California,
discovered that h e could
shrink up the pituitary gland
by sending through the skull
a powerful beam from the
184-inch cyclotron. This type
of beam is five times more
destructive of tissue than are
X-rays. Helpful also in many
cases can be the rays that arc
given off by radio-active co
balt. 'Coin-Lesion' in Chest
Every so often, when a
middle-aged or elderly per
son's chest is X-rayed, per
haps during a routine exami
nation, a round shadow called
a coin-lesion is seen on the
film (a lesion is a bit of diseas
ed tissue). Kor a while, lung
surgeons felt (hat every lesion
of this type should be re
moved. They thought that
even if the nodule was a
metastasis-a daughter -growth
from a cancer some
where else in the body-its
removal would cause the per
son to live longer.
Also, If the moduli should
happen to be full of tubercule
bacilli, it would be well to
remove it.
Lately, the enthusiasm for
removing these lesions seems
to have diminished I have
just read "The San Francisco
Report" on coin-lesions, and
1 find that of 400 patients
with these round shadows in
the lungs, seen at the Letter
man Army Hospital in San
Francisco, 5'J were operated
on. The incidence of cancer
among these 52 patients was
only IS 4 per cent.
The experts now report
that today, with much ex
perience, if 3 out of 8 X-ray
specialists agree that a
patient's coin-lesion docs not
look cancerous, the patient
had better nut be operated on.
Perhaps It Is well not to
operate even if 4 out of 6

Hope for Woman Who
Cannot Become Pregnant
Dr. Langdon Parsons of the
Boston University School of
Medicine recently reported
that, with the help of a special
electric instrument something
like an electrocardiograph, a
record can be made showing
when a woman ovulatcs
when a tiny egg-like ovum
comes out of one of her ovar
ies. Naturally, it is at this
time that the woman is most
likely to become pregnant.
The new recording device is
particularly helpful In those
cases in which the woman's
cycle is so irregular that it is
very hard to guess when she
ovulates.
The exciting feature about
this discovery is that by using
the new instrument, 67 wo
men out of a group of 164 who
had for long tried and failed
to conceive, became pregnant.
Among the women who still
failed after the records made
with the instrument, 31 had
too much diseased tissue in
their pelvis, and 18 had hus
band who were not very
fertile.

encountered by futdanee counselors and social workers. Edited by

Wilma T. She keeps all
family news to herself.
Mrs. G. T. Why should
I be the tale-bearer?
: Wilma T. This isn't a
world-shaking problem but
it's darn annoying. I have a
78-year-old mother who's hale
and hearty, maintains her own
apartment, and also makes
three trips a year around the
country. During these forays,
she visits my five brothers
and sisters, and manages to
see quite a number of cousins
and friends, too.
I stop in to see her every
day when she's at home.
Wouldn't you think she'd pass
along the items of family
news she picked up on her
last trip, from Christmas to
Washington's birthday? No.
She hoards them. But she ex
pects me to tell her anything
I hear! I just got a card from
my brother, for instance, say
ing he won a promotion. My
mother knew it but never
told me.
Mrs. G. T. I doubt whe
ther anyone would tell me
anything if they felt I was
going to spread everything I
heard from coast to coast. I
wouldn't blame them. Wilma
found out about the promo
tion without me. That's how
it should be. Her brother
wrote her direct. Anything
she's supposed to know she
can find out directly from the
person it happened to. She
shouldn't count on me to be
the family gossip reporter.
Wilma shouldn't be snoopy.
She's always trying to squeeze
gossip out of me. She wants
to read my letters, not just
the ones I receive but the
ones I write. I tell her to
write her own and read her
own. Whatever 1 know should
stay with me.
The Council: Mrs. T. is us
ing tid-bits of family news
the way the animal trainer
uses hunks of fish for the
seals. She withholds them to
watch Wilma beg!
Strange how behavior like
this is the siring which pulls
back the curtain on a sad
mother - daughter situation
which has been building, no
doubt, for decades. To spot
light the tensions, the hurt
egos, let's invisage the oppo
site a family where it's
"all for one and one for all,"
as Gracie Fields- used to sing
during World War II. Here,
a telephone call to one is a
telephone call to all, with the
sign-off words usually, "Pass
it along!" And letters turn
into round-robins, being cir
culated among the brothers
and sisters except in rare
instances where there's a good
reason for containment.
Ideally where egos are
healthy and pettiness never
rears its whiney head, it saves

a lot of duplication to tell
family news to one and add,
"Pass the word." Here we
find Mrs. T.'s pettiness is set
up as the roadblock to family
unity and communion. "What
you tell me," she's saying, "I
won't tell anyone else, no
matter how casual it is. At
the same time, don't you dare
not tell me everything you
hear. And that includes you,
Wilma!"
With six children, does
Mrs. T. really expect them to
write six letters every time
a baby cuts a first tooth, a
roof gets fixed, a childhood
friend turns up? Withholding
such innocuous items is sense
less. Only a woman who is
desperate for power and at
tention would clam up to that
extent.
Wilma should canvass the
others. She may be able to
get them to agree to instruct
her mother to share the news,
or pain of not getting any
more. Only when specifically
requested not to tell (and that
may be rare) will Mrs. T. be
justified in her smug attitude
of "it's for me to know and
you to find out."

THE CP SOUNDCONDITIONER
Ouiet? How to Achieve It
Silence has been defined as the lack of sound; quiet as tha
lack of distraction. Psychologists say that quiet is preferable,
since some sound is necessary to our mental health. Research
indicates that sound is present at all times. However, thera
are many sounds that irritate and disturb us. These include
office machines, traffic, voices, crying babies, distracting
night noises, and many others.
An electronic instrument has now been introduced which
conditions objectionable noises and creates a tranquil en
vironment for the subconscious mind. Called the CP Sound
Conditioner, the new instrument shuts off disturbing noises
with soft, constant sounds that relax and provide acoustical
privacy. One of the most effective sounds is called whito
sound. This is a composite of all sound frequencies audible
to the human ear, blended at equal intensities. The unit offers
a choice of white sound, modified white sound, rain and surf.
There are many places where the CP SoundConditioner
is useful ... in offices, in homes, or when traveling. In fact
any place where noisy conditions exist. Students find it use
ful for studying in noiseful surroundings. When exasperating
noises occur during the sleeping hours it can mean the differ
ence between restful sleep or sleeplessness. It is especially de
sirable for those away from home when subject to strange or
unusual sounds.
The CP SoundConditioner is transistorized and operates
on flashlight batteries. It is small in size, easily carried, and
ideal for use when traveling.
Be sure to see these attractive instruments at The Acorn
Press, 325 North Bartlett, Medford, Oregon.
