Curculio Caryae Horn. E are not_the only ones who are fond of pecan meats There is a weevil that has a | decided preference for this nut and even goes so far as to domicile her family in the nut itself. | Of course, we have no chance with such forehanded creatures unless, we, too, take drastic steps for possession. In order to prevent the weevils from getting a start on a pecan grove it is necessary to wipe out the nearby hick- ory trees. When you know that the weevil's offspring are already in the nuts it is best to shake the tree and destroy all the nuts which fall. This prevents the youngsters from going into | the ground and completing their growth. Deep plowing in the orchard will expose the growing grubs as well as those ready | to take their appeirance as grown weevils. Early in the Summer the grcwn | weevils appear. They go at once to the ' ;mmature pecan and hickory nuts. They | drill holes in the nuts and suck out the juices from the center. In a few days | the nuts shrivel and drop to the ground. In September the wedding bel's ring | for all marriageable weevils. Later the young mothers with their drill-like beaks g> to the nearly hardened shell and bore through th2 shuck and shell. One opening is made with the drill. It has two tiny sharp teeth at the end. | With her drill she makes several pock- ets in the kernel and in each one she places a smcoth, clear, capsule-shaped | cgg. Her beak is now used to push the egg into a most advantageous place. ' Two to six eggs are tucked into each nut. She is most careful not to intrude vpen the, home cf her house-hunting sister. One week later the little grub hatches and finds h‘m-elf surroundsd by rich nut meat. Here the legless white baby remzins for one menth, waxing fat and turning yellow. He is also red-headed cr brown-headed, supplied with very | sharp jaws. When grown he cuts an exit about one eighth of an inch wide and crawls down the tree or drops to the earth. Here he digs a deep hole, if the soil is 1cose. If not, he goes nine inches into the ground to comylete his growth. __ For two or three seasons, without fcod, he sleeps in his little cell. One mcnth before it is time for him to ap- | pear he changes into a grown weevil | and then begins to climb to the surface | of the earth. i | “The grown weevils are dark brown with pale brown or gray scales. They kave six very awkward legs and a beak that is elmost twice the 1°nzth of the mother's boiy, but abcut th2 same length as the father's body. At the end f their beak are two smal, very sharp | teeth. Th> grown wesvils go at once to the trees and puncture the nuts before | they have passed the “water stage"— ‘xhnt is, before the kernel has formed | within the nuts. The greatest injury is done by the youngsters, who are many lin numigr and very greedy in habit, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Claustrophobia. We all have settled fears and dreads. A rather common one is called claus- trophobia. It's the name for a dislike of inclosed places. No amount of reason is able to re- move it completely. So those who have it appear to be doomed to the task of making peate with a haunting, morbid dread of being-alone in small or narrow places. As long as we were frontiers- men this fear was unknown. But today we must live in apartments; we travel in Pullmans; we go up and down in elevators; we use subways; we walk along streets lined by skyscrapers. Mod- ern life, with its necessary contrivances, has made this old fear more frequent in its appearance. It was one of the first fears to appear among the soldiers during the World War. Many men could not stand the trenches. _If by any chance you cannot detect it in your daily life, it does not follow that you are free of this fear. Study your ‘¢reams. Now and then it will crop up in them. According to those psychologists who look to the past for their explanation of the present, claustrophobia is a relic of the days when our forbears lived in caves, where they sought shelter and safety. But now and then a cave bear or a cave hyena would come in and make things interesting for the inhabi- tants. And so these psychologists rea- son that traces of such experiences were handed down from generation to gen- eration. (Copyrigh NANCY PAGE 1931) Skin Beauty Is Deeper Than You Think.

It inclined naturally, therefore, |to harbor blackheads. Her hair never had a vibrant, alive Jook. Ste made an appointment with the specialist. She planncd to spend her next month's allowance on skin foods, creams and what not. But she had a surprise in store for her. “We can do things, yes, for your skin, Miss Judith. But most of the treatment you will have to take care | of yourself.” “‘Oh, that's all right. Il spend a half hour a day rubbing creams in, or doing whatever you say. I want a fine skin.” “Do you want it badly enough to fol- low directions?” “Why, of course. Tell me what to buy. I have money for it.” And then she learned that her treat- ment cost almost no money, but much will power. She was not getting enough slecp. Late parties, reading in bed ‘were taboo. She ate too much candy, too much pastry and cake. She was to go on a dict which included much water, many vegetables, both raw and cooked. Fresh fruit was to be her dessert. A shower in the morning—not too ccld; a warm tub three times a week and a half hour brisk walk out of doors wege all included in the prescription. And much to the specialist's surprise, Judy did have will power enough to keep up that regime for six months. And at the end of that time she saw great improvem-nt. Before that, she had to take his promises on trust.

I have been working for years at a good salary, and as I never had to contribute a cent at home I spent it all on clothes and good times. ‘This worries Bob, and he has been helping me to budget my money and spend it wisely, and as the result I have saved quite a bit. Now here is the trouble: Shall I spend my money on an elaborate trousseau or shall I buy a pretty practical trousseau and help pay for our furniture? Shall we have sterling silver and installment collectors or plated ware and own the furnishings of our modest home?

Answer—You_are quite right, my child, in saying that the matter of the wife's spending causes no end of argument in the family circle. It cements it together or it breaks it up as often as any other one thing.

If the ge wife is prudent and thrifty and helps her husband save his money, he is sure to get along if he has any ability at all a fact that banks take the wife into credit. If, on the other hand, a man marries a woman who is a waster and # spender, unless he is a financial genius he can make no headway against No matter what he earns he can never save a cent and so, when opportunity knocks at his docr, he has not the golden key with which to Often the possession of just a few hundred dollars would give & man a chance to go into some venture that would make him a fortune, but he has to see the chance go by. her. open it. More than that, nothing takes an extravagant wife. It paralyzes So if you help your husband to save you will make yourself a real help- mate to him instead of being a millstone around his neck. And I most up the elaborate trousseau and put your earnestly advise you to pass money into furnishing your home. Just reflect that the stores will still be doing business after you are married and that styles change and you will always bs able to get new frocks if you have the money.

Diseases Caused by Diet BY DR. E. V. School of Hygiene and Public Health, Johns Hopkins University. WITHIN the past 10 years it has been established that st least six ifferent diseases including rickets, pel- lagara, beri-beri and scurvy are caused :ftn lack of certain vitamins in the o vitamins are restored to the diet, the sufferer is cured or appreciably im- proved. It has also been found that tuberculosis, diabetes, ulcer of the ali- mentary tract, anemias, acidosis, epi- lepsy and kidney disease can be bene- fited by specially planned menus. It is further believed that vitamin deficiency assoclated with faulty mineral metabol- ism is a vital factor in tooth decay. ‘The average adult on an ordinarily varied diet can now obtain through his food enough of all the vitamins to sup- ply the minimum vitamin requirement and avold serious diseases, Eggs, meat, green vegetables and salads, fruit and milk supply the family table with prac- tically all the vitamins except the sun- shine vitamin D. Although there has hitherto been no food to provide enough of this vitamin, ordinary white bread can now be supplied with vitamin D, incorporated according to a process re- cently developed in the nutritional re- search laboratories of the Paediatric Research Foundation of Toronto. Vitamin A is a fat vitamin and is abundantly supplied in butter, whole milk, whole cheese and egg yolk and also to some extent in vegetables—such as tomatoes, spinach, carrots, yellow corn and yellow sweet potatoes. Among the results of a deficlency of vitamin A in the diet are low resistance to infec- tions of eyes, ears, lungs, sipus and glands, retardation of growth and de- velopment, and secondary anemia. Vitamin B is found most concen- trated in wheat germ and in yeast and MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Blackheads and Pores.

Bad for ducks. and, I suppose. for all the water fowl except those that breed on salt marshes. If vou have ever tried to raise ducks you know that there is no use count- ing your ducks even after the chicks have hatched. the soft gold gabblers is frightful. They die of cold; they die of heat: they die of terriers and cats and hawks and weasels and, perhaps. sometimes of snakes, turtles and other -reptiles. I have never seen any drown, but I have seen a proud mother duck lead her web-footed toddlers to the water, enly to have them terrified of a small ponc. Such is the death rate among ducks under the protected conditions of do- mestic life. It is_quite erroneous to suppose that animals or humans multi- ply faster or are less likely to die young in the wild than in civilization. Chil- dren and baby animals die far more often under, savage conditions. We merely see liftle of these tragedies and parents, human and animal, have less time to grieve where Nature holds full sWay. Imagine what havpens to the water birds in years of drought! The great breeding grounds of the Dakotas and Wisconsin, of Manitoba and Saskatch- ewan, have had another terrible drought vear. Early reports indicate terrific losses from drought among all the ducks. It is safe to predict a scarcity of hell-divers, terns, sora, dowitchers, canbasbacks, Canada geese, pintails, mallard, green-winged teal, blue-winged teal, and, I suppose, the herons and bitterns, though no sportsman cares about them, and the red-winged black- birds - and other rice-feeders, though they are not much shot except upon the coastal plain. Iam gflcvh\! a great deal less about the sportsmen who miss their sport than about the birds that, having died a horrible death by thirst, will never wing through our Autumn skies, above the sedges and the rushes where the fowler lies in wait for them. The water birds are seldom beautiful sing- ers or friendly neighbors of human habitation and most-of them are more @ than beautiful or even ridiculous on their stilt-like legs. But to me they are the most appealing of all birds—the most thoroughly wild and glamorous and gamey.
