RAISE BUGS TO FIGHT BUGS French Scientist* Br«ed Insects and Birds That Are Enemies of Fruit- Destroying Pests. Then- Is a quaint Institution In Men tone, in the south of France, known as tin* Insecturlum, where learned pro fi i are rearing various species of bugs and other insects. Mentone is in fin* renter of an im portant fruit-growing district, and the object is to*discover the best means of lighting those insect pests that prey Upon plants and ruin the fruit. . Tho orchards have suffered severely through the ravages of the mealy bug. and Hie fruit growers were becoming quite alarmed. Then experts discov ered that three other species of bug are the natural enemies of the mealy. So these are being bred and reared and turned loose in the orchards as allies of the fruit growers. Tin* institution is also breeding cer tain speciei of ladybirds to destroy the cochineal, an insect that plays havoc with orange and lemon trees. These ladybirds have been brought from far Australia and California. The institution Is nothing less than an up-to-date Insect farm, consisting oi a large private house und an acre of ground. In the laboratory are rows upon rows of phials and Jars, the larvae of- various Insects which are kept at a high temperature. In the gar den are rages full of* ail kinds of creeping and flying pests.

When on November 11 the world halts to obyrve the fourth anniver sary of Armistice Day, and the Ameri can Red Cross inaugurates its Annual Roll Call for the enrollment of the 192a membership, the people of the United States may well pause to think of the unparalleled contribution to the cause peace inade*by our Army and Navy in the World War. The glory of It is a common tradition; but the wounds of war remain. They are not healed in a day, in a year, nor in four years. And on Armistice Day there will be under treatment in Government hospitals over 25,000 ex-service men, broken ' physically by wounds, expo sure, nervous strain and exhaustion incident to their service in the war. The Government without stint is tin dertaking to—furnish these disabled men with the compensation and med ical care to which they are entitled, yet their especial care is a duty of tlie Red Cross. Why? Because the Gov ernment cannot handle the cases of ex-sgrvlce men individually; It must handle these men in bulk under a standardized policy. The Government has neither the authority, the funds or the equipment for working out the problem of the individual man. There is where the American Red Cross finds its greatest field for service, aid ing through its very active Chapters in reaching the disabled man with im mediate practical help, assisting his family while his claim Is emerging from the process of adjustment, furnishing articles of comfort, funds to tide over the difficult periods, the friendly touch of personal encouragement, helpful recreation and worry-dispelling amuse ment. It is the warm hand of sym pathy and understanding which the American Red Cross extends to the majority of these disabled ex-service men. some of them friendless in the whirl of life, thousands of them with wives and children dependent upon them, and hundreds of them frequent ly helpless in the face of grim ne cessity. 2,679 Chapters Aiding Veterans In this work, upon whose accom plishment the American Red Cross is urging a record-breaking enrollment in the Roll Call which opens on Armis tice Day and closes with Thanksgiv ing Day, 2,(579 Chapters in ai! parts of the country are engaged. This is 350 more than were working for ex-service men last year when approximately $10,000,000 was '-vpended by the Na tional Organization and the Chapters working together in harmonious unity. For the current fiscal year National Headquarters anproprinted $3,030,- 092.90, an increase of $365,500.84 over the amount spent for the work among ex-service men in the year ended June 30 last. Since it is estimated that t’ e Chapters will expend close to $7,000,- 000 from their own funds, the grand total of Red Cross expenditures for this single work Is expected again to reach the $10,000,000 mark by June 30, 1923; Hospital and District Office Work „ During the fiscal year a total of over 1,000 persons, paid and volunteer, has been engaged in Red Cross duty in hospitals or district offices of th* U. S. Veterans' Bureau. An average of 8.000 new eases requires definite nnd par ticular attention each month. The de mand for Chapter made articles for hospital patients is constant. During last year Service Claims and Information Service at National Head quarters handled 37,200 compensation end insurance claims, 24,560 allotment and allowance cases, and 9.700 miscel laneous claims. Since February, 1919, it lias disposed of 61,174 allotment checks payable to veterans which th* Fost Office Department reported unde liverable. The Chapter is the unit of the Red Cross organization which Is accessible to every disabled veteran or his fam ily. Between July 1, 1921, nnd June 30, 1922, tiie Chapters had reported 1,665,- 079 instances of service to ex-service men and their dependents, at a cost estimated from reports now at hand of more than $5,340,000. Tile basis of this far-reaching work of the Red Cross is the individual needs of tiie disabled veteran to the end that he tnay obtain his rights un der the law, that his especial wants may lie immediately supplied, that his own and ills family’s situation may lie rendered happy and cheerful, ami that their outlook for the future may visualize incentives for independent and fruitful effort.
