B8 ¢ TAX RETURN PROBE FUNDS ALLOCATED $1,200,000 of Work Aid Money Given Treasury for Statistical Job. By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt today allotted $1,200,000 of work relief funds to the Treasury for a statistical compilation and an analysis of income tax re- turns, notably those of the “little fellow.” Baltimore will be the administrative headquarters for the project. Mine of Factual Material. The Treasury said there is a “mine of factual material” to be obtained from an analysis of 5,000,000 of smal- ler income tax returns for 1933 and 1934. Because of limited facilities up to now, it was said, no broad-scale analysis of returns of less than $5,000 has hitherto been attempted. Information to be extracted from the returns includes facts on the na- ture of income distribution, an oc- cupational classification, the nature and profitableness of small businesses, and the distribution of Government securities. The Treasury will hire clerks and supervisors and handle the under- taking as a relief project, it said. The President also approved the al- | lotment of $350,100 to the Labor De- | partment to develop “job specmca-{ uions and occupational classifications for occupations in all types of in- dustry.” Facilitates Job Services. 'This, 1t was explained, was to “fa- cilitate the work of the employment | services in making accurate selection and replacement of workers on var- lous jobs connected with the works program and industries.” Secretary Perkins said “a com- munity wide approach to the analysis of all representative jobs served by the employment service (of the Labor Department) is under way in three centers—Baltimore, Newark, N. J. and Cincinnati. With the new funds, this work will be expanded, and ex: tended to other centers. Relief work- ers will be employed.” PAGEANT TO DEPICT NORTHEAST HISTORY “The Land of Heart's Desire” to | Be Given, With Cast of 400. Rehearsed Five Weeks.

C, Cicadas to Swarm Here Eggs Laid in 1919 to Hatch Horde of Harmless Winged Insects. ASHINGTON will be treated next year to daily Summer symphonies, played by a host of winged insects called cicadas (sick-kaydas). Countless thousands of the little “musicians” are now under ground at the roots of trees here and in neighboring States, rounding out the sixteenth year of their subterranean sojourn. They will come forth late next May, shed their skeletons, mate, lay eggs and die. Their sons and daughters will reappear in Washington in May, 1953, and start the cycle all over again. Their grandchildren won’t be seen until 1970. The cicadas will come in such num- bers, according to Dr. J. A. Hyslop of the Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Entomology, that the air will almost vibrate with their hum- ming. They make a rather pleasant noise, monotonous but rather com- forting. Persons who dwell in lonely places find their music cheerful and | a welcome relief from the silences of night. Effectively Trim Trees. Dr. Hyslop says for Washington- | ians not to be alarmed. Although has been devised, home owners are advised to cover shrubs and small trees with mosquito netting. Or- chardists may leave their fruit trees unpruned this Winter with the knowl- edge that the cicadas will do the pruning for them. Young frult trees sometimes are considerably damaged by cicadas swarms, but otherwise the insects do little damage. They don't touch field or garden crops, such as corn, green vegetables and flowers. The cicadas now maturing under- ground here and in Maryland, Vir- ginia, Pennsylvania, Long Island, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and | other regions southward to Georgia and westward to Tennessee are called brood 10. here next May and June” he sald. “And the cicadas may be seen on almost every tree.” Appear Like Grubs. Late in May, 1936, the cicadas will be seen coming out of little holes in the ground and fastening them- selves on trees. They wilt look, at first, like brown and white grubs, but the day after their appearance will crack out their shells and of- ficially start their brief life above- ground. The shells, or skeletons, are left behind on trees and little boys delight in picking them off and keeping them until the novelty wears off. Launching another generation of 17-year cicadas seems to be the only purpose of the insects’ brief span of adult life. The adults apparently don’t eat at all, Dr. Hyslop says. Cicadas are related to harvest fiies and aphids, have two long and beau- [ tifully textured wings, six legs and ‘& proboscis, and are brown and orange in color, with occasional tinges of green. Their bodies are somewhat triangular shaped. The worst enemy of these virtually harmless bugs is the giant wasp. It grabs and stings cicadas into paraly- sis, carries them to its burrow and lays an egg on them. The young wasp feeds on the paralyzed cicada. | Birds also are anti-cicada. Brood 10 last appeared here in 1919. Brood 9 was seen this Spring in Southern Virginia and West Virginia. | Brood 1 visited Washington in 1927 and will reappear in 1944. Brood 2 Bug experts have mapped | arrived last in 1928 and is coming fat and fearsome-looking, cicadas are | out accurately the entire cicada cycle | back in 1945. Brood 6 will reappear virtually harmless. The females cut | and can tell just what year each |in 1949, having been here last in little slits in twigs and lay their eggs. The twigs fall off and die, giving trees a light pruning. Since no satis- factory method of controlling cicadas ' brood will reappear and where. Brood 10 is “by far” the largest of all the 17 broods, according to Dr. Hyslop. “There’ll be a tremendous buzzing | 1932, | comparing in size with that coming All are smaller broods, not here next Summer. When the cicadas appear, it will be noticed that’ all come out within & few days of each other. Some im- pulse which Dr. Hyslop says has not been explained brings them out almost simultaneously. After mating and laying eggs, they will die and vanish about the middle of June. Cicadas are erroneously called 17- year locusts. The “17-year” part is all right, but the “locust” part is all wrong. They are strictly an Ameri- can insect and when the first settlers arrived in America they were puzzled by them. Being of a very pious turn of mind and believing that the an-| swers to everything were to be found in the Bible, the pilgrims consulted their King James’ versions and found mention of the locust plagues of an- cient Egypt. They thought the ci- cadas were locusts and so termed them and the incorrect identification lms survived the belief that the cicadas would destroy crops. Locusts are| properly grasshoppers, ordinary green “hoppers” like katydids and crickets. Five Killed in Earthquake.
