WINGED SPECIMENS BRING 51,000 EACH Green Beetle One of Most Notable in Collection of Entomologist. Special Dispatch to The Star. FORT DAVIS, Tex., Januarty 5.— Now that the season for butterflies and moths is ended, O. C. Poling, entomolo- gist, has shipped his colleciton of more than 10,000 specimens to his home near Santa Monica, Calif., where he will re- main until Spring, when he will resume his work in the Boboquivari Mountains of Arizona, near the Mexico line. He will be located upon the ranch of Harry Kinney, he said. In many respects the work of Mr. Poling at Fort Davis and in the isolated Big Bend region, which borders the Rid Grande to the south here, during the last Summer and Fall was notable to entomoligical science and to mu- seums, schools, colleges and private col- lectors of this country and abroad. Many specimens which he obtained were of such rare variety that they sold readily for $300 to $400 each. He discovered eightcen new species of winged insects during his stay here. He succeeded in capturing males and fe- males of certain specimens, and by breeding them he sold their offspring for as high as $1,000 each. One of Poling’s most notable finds was a green beetle, of which there was but one specimen known to science Adding More Fuel to the Clearance “Flames”!

They are scarce even there, but he added quite a number of them to his collection. This beetle’s green body is sprinkled with gold and its feet are purple. . Among private collectors who were supplied with rare specimens of butter- flies and moths by Mr. Poling during his stay here was Lord Rothschild. 1t will not be surprising if Fort Davis, which is a little town grouped around an abandoned frontier Army post. should turn out a number of entomo- logists as a result of the work done here this year by Mr. Poling. He kept all the available boys in the town con- stantly employed in capturing every winged insect that came their way. Many of the notable discoveries which he made were due to the efforts of the boys. Wife Aids in Capture. Mr. Poling made a number of field expeditions himself. In all of his work he was assisted by his wife. They adopted a unique method of capturing moths and beetles that fly by night. To the side of their bungalow they tacked a large sheet, and upon its sur- face was hung an electric light of high candle power. Almost immediately after the light was turned on the sheet would become covered with insects. Mr. Poling inspected the specimens, and when he came to one he wanted he would clamp the mouth of an empty bottle over it and put in the cork. At the bottom of each bottle was a small quantity of cyanide, which caused instant death of the specimen. It was found that cer- tain specimens did not begin their night flights until midnight; others around 2 o'clock in the morning. This made it necessary for Poling to keep working most of the night during the busy season. To bring a myraid of the fiying in- sects to their premises here, the Polings planted a large flower garden. It blossomed profusely and attracted many strange butterflies which augmented the season’s collection. It was stated that notwithstanding the many orders for specimens which were filled while at Fort Davis and that the shipment of more than 10,000 were made to his home near Santa Monica, Mr. Poling is still 10,000 speci- mens behind in filling orders now on hand. He hopes to get the remainder in Arizona next year. e Promoted to Colonel. Lieut. Col. Gustave R. Lukesh, Corps of Engineers, Oreg., has been promoted to the grade of colonel, according to War Depart- ment announcement. He will remain on his present duties for the time being. (e 7 stationed at Portland, | RESOLUTION PROVIDES WORLD FAIR APPROVAL By the Associated Press. ‘The House ways and means com- mittee yesterday favorably reported a joint resolution authorizing the Presi- dent to invite participation of other nations in the Chicago World Fair of 1933 to observe the hundredth anni- versary of the founding of that city. Vice President Dawes and Senator Dencen, Republican, of Illinois, had appeared in behalf of the resolution, which was introduced in the House by Chairman Hawley of the ways and means committee. It would provide that when the Centennial Celebration Corporation has $5,000,000 available, the President would be authorized to in- vite participation by foreign nations. Mr. Dawes sald the Chicago fair would not be for competitive exhibits, but would be co-operative to illustrate the progress in the various industries, arts, sciences and agriculture. Both Mr. Dawes and Senator Deneen declared that no contributions would be asked from the Federal Government, and that if the Federal Government wanted to exhibit products on the plans of other fairs it would not be following the idea of the Chicagd Fair. Thrilling News from Commander Byrd is being published in he Foening Sar and he Swnday Star, The silence of the great frozen Antarctic is being broken by radio messages from Byrd, himself, and Russell Owen, The Star’s special correspondent accompanying the expedi- tion — coming from the “earth’s end” directly into The Star office. Not only is the feat which is being under- taken unique in itself—but that these intrepid explorers are in almost instantaneous com- munication with The Star’s readers through the medium of the air—is a miracle of the Twentieth Century—brought acutely into appreciation when we read such dispatches as the recent one from Mr. Owen—announc- ing to The Star readers, almost within the hour of the rediscovery of “lost” Scott Island: “We confirm the existence of Scott Island, which has been in doubt ever since it was first discovered” And so it will be continuously from now on—these men—battling unprecedented dangers; opening up secrets that have been locked in the heretofore impenetrable snow and ice since time began—will send news of great scientific accomplishments; and narrate achievements stranger than any fiction. The Star alone in Washington will print Commander Byrd’s own story and that of its special correspondent. Amazing in importance! Gripping in interest!
