EUROPEAN WASPS T0 FIGHT CORN BORER 1,000,000 Tiny Insects Imported From France Set Loose Here Boston, Aug. 3.—With the release of 1,000,000 tiny wasps, termed habro- bracons, in this vicinity, experts ot the bureau of entomology, United States department of agriculture, hope they have set in motion an agency that will result in the destruction of the corn borer and the saving of millions of dollars to the farmers. The success of tlie experimen., entoniologists say, will not be dteermined until observations have extended over a period of years. Imported from France, in which country and in Italy the habrobracon has proved a relentless enemy of the corn borer, four colonies of the insects were bred at the government labora- tories 11 Arlington. Whether the wasp can survive and flourish in the colder and more uneven climate of New Eng- land and the United States in generai is a question still to be determined. The corn horer itself is an imported species, having come fo America in shipments of European broom corn. Its ravapes first attracted serious at- tention in 1917 in Eastern Massachu- setts. Since that time it has worked steadily westward. Last year the borer caused damage estimated at $1,- 000,000 im this state alone. The corn borer. which in appearance resembles & caterpillar, not only attacks corn but inflicts injury upon crops of beets, celery, beans, rhubarb, potatoes, pep- pers, buckwheat and clover. Alto- gether, investigators have found the berer gullty of damaging 211 varieties of piants The habrobracon is said to injure no crop, confining its attacks to the borer, the gypsy and the brown tail moths. The wasps are very small, with bodies about the size of the head of a pin. The female wasp attaches itself to the corn borer and lays its eggs o it. These, when they develop, at first paralyze and later kill the borer. The battle between borer and ha- brobracon began with the release of colonles of 260,000 habrobracons each in Saugus, Cambridge, Malden and Ar~ lington. Further experiments are being made by government entomol- ogists with a view to finding other insects which may check the spread of the horer. 10 BAR MASKS IN FIGHT ON KLAN Georgia Proposes to Make Them Il- legal Except at Carnivals—Agree Over Virtues of Organization. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 8-—An anti- mask bill was before the lower house of the Georgia legislature today with a favorable report from committee. The bill would prohibit the wearing of masks in public except for carni- val purposes. Representative Bozeman described the Ku Klux Klan at hearings last night as the “most dangerous menace this country has to deal with.” He said it had “frightened away most of our negro laborers by its hideous masks. The Rev. W. A. Huckabay of Sa- vannah declared the Klan had *“done more to rid Savannah of its lawless element than any other organization.” Asked if he would defend the or- ganization in its illegal infractions of the law, the Rev. Mr| Huckabay said: ‘“You have struck me below the belt; I must refrain from answering.” HANGS SELF Perth, w. Australia.—Willam Nowers, 16, an immigrant in the steamer Ballarat, bound fog Sydney, hanged himself in a building at Fre- mantle during the vessel's stay in port. At first it was belleved the boy’s real ldentity would disclose an internationally famous personage, but this proved groundless, and the youth is merely belleved to have been despondent.

Sokolski, one of the proprietors of the tailor shop which was the ob- ject of an attacking party of thugs, believed to have come from New York city, where Joseph Rusch was severely beaten yesterday morning ex- plained to The Herald that his firm was not-to be deflned as a strike- breaking organization. He stated that it was his belief that a desire for revenge prompted tha beating of Rusch and Sanders, and that union sympathizers were responsible for the act because he runs an open shop es- tablishment. Mr. Sokolskl admitted that the com- pany was doing work on garments for New York firms and had been doing 8o for spme time past. He stated that he had been threatened a number of times by union sympathizers because he ran an open shop, not because work was being done on garments for a concern whose employes were out on strike, He also stated that he could not run a union shop if he de- sired as it was impossible to get-men garment workers here and the union does not admit women, who do the bulk of his work, to the organization in this branch.
