AY back in 1779 the ploneers of this family came to o America. ‘They arrived in e bed straw used by the Hes- & 3 e h‘“lhn Army. Since that tim cost us countless millions In the last 45 years there have been e en In 19; ht outbreaks of this A Kansas alone lost over 20,000,000 bushels of wheat. .The Hessian fly parents are small mosquito-like creatures, sooty black | with transparent wings and slender legs. They do not partake of food. ‘Their interest is confined to the con- tinuance of the family. The mother's abdomen is clothed in red. The fath- et’s body is very slender, the legs longer. | ir span of life is but a few days, it is fmost fortunate for us it is no longer.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX JDFAR MISS DIX—I have a son of 14 who has been brought up in an atmosphere of girls and elderly folks and much prefers them to boys. He 15 rather of an eflcminate turn and is always sdmiinz the artistic in homnes, fiowers, paintifgs, etc. Wren he goes shospinrg with me, he ex- clzims over the beauties of materfals or the style of costumes. He is fond of music and plays the piano beautifully. His only fault is that he is so untidy about the house-and his clothing. His room always Jooks as if & cyclone had passed through it. I am worried over him. What is the best way to deal with such s lad? DISTRACTED MOTHER. NSWER—Well, his being disorderly about his room is, at least, one normal boyish trait. Practically every boy of 14, except those that exist in goody-goody books, hangs his clothes up on the floor and tracks in mud and uses his bed as a dumping place for all his belongings. And his mother can either pick up after him, or bri nervous prostration on herself trying to instill ideals of neatness apd er into him and to con- Iz;n":nmhto the wisdom of having a place for everything and ev place. My advioé is to take the line of least resistance and pick up after him and let nature take its course. It will save wear and tear on your constitution and after a while he will just grow out of his slovenly ways himslf. Some of the most orderly men I know were the greatest scat- terers as boys. YOU see, & boy's mind is so engrossed with such vitally important mat- ters as food and foot ball, bicycles or whatever the craze of the mo- ment is that he hasn’t time to hang up a cap or put a coat on & hook, but after a while he will find out that order is Heaven's first law and that it saves worry to systematize things. Then he won't be a boy any longer and you will wish that you were picking muddy shoes off the bureau and fishing his best necktie out from under the soiled clothes in the closet. You certainly made & grest mistake in rearing & boy who has & strong feminine streak in his nature in an environment of oid people and girls. What he needed was to be associated with boys. He needed to be hardened and r for this is & hard, rough world that makes life difficult for timid, gentiemen. My advice to you would be to send your boy off to a boys' school. But if he is too unhappy there and if the boys bully him too much, don’t make him stay. Sometimes a boy becomes the victim of every bully in & school and has his whole life warped by the ridicule he is made to endure. ND don't think your boy need be a failure because he is not like other boys. Some of the greatest geniuses the world ever produced were of that type in boyhood. And even in commercial Jife there are great opportunities for the man who knows color and siyle and fabrics Instinetively, or who likes to cook and do other things that used to be con- sidered as belonging to woman's sphere. Dress designers and chefs draw huge salaries and no shops are more prt rous than those that deal in and develop him along his own lines. After all, be ashamed of in a boy having feminine ;ul-\ltlu than there is in a girl having mannish ones? Ame‘\_;;y ir] is flattered to death if you tell her she is boyish. (Copyright.
