This particular Insect Is an enemy of the sugar cane borer, one of the most destructive pests both in Hawaii and in the sugar area of the mainland United Stales. It is hoped that it can be transplated and acclimated first in Hawaii and then possibly also the rest of the way across the Pacific. long-sough- 'Eternal Chieftaincies Is Iliiler of African Trihe New York. The future of aviation is linked with an invisible film of air only a few hundredths of an inch thick. So nearly perfect is the streamlining of modern airplanes that even the protruding heads of tiny rivets can cut miles an hour from the speed of a plane and greatly lower its flight performance. The crucial air film Is known as the laminar boundary layer between the wing of a plane and the air through which it flies. If the air passes smoothly over the wing all is well. If the air becomes turbulent air resistance is increased and speed and climbing ability are decreased. Great advances in knowledge of the behavior of this invisible air boundary have been made possible by studies in wind tunnels. But now It is becoming apparent that the day may be approaching when wind tunnel tests, alone, will not be the last word in aeronautical research. Free Flight Study Needed. Speaking at the first Wright Brothers Lecture of the Institute of Aeronatutical Sciences here, the British air expert, Prof. B. Melville Jones of Cambridge university, pointed out that free flight study of real airplanes may soon supply the final check on research. Flight in smooth air free from small-scalturbulence is needed, he indicated, to disclose some of the parasitic air friction losses now being studied. A slight unsteadiness may persist in wind tunnels which produces effects differing from those of actual flight Key point of investigations Is a transition study of the point where the smooth, laminar flow of air turns Into the turbulent pattern that robs plane of their performance. The transition point should occur as far back on the wing, away from the leading edge, as is possible. In free flight tests. Professor Jones disclosed, a thin layer of tinfoil only one of an inch thick was sufficient to shift the transition point forward and produce drag. d Sunspots Affect Life on the Earth Did you know that the best vintage wines are from crops that grow in those years when sunspots are at a maximum? And that trees show their greatest growth in periods when the surface of the sun shows the greatest nums ber of spots?

It Bulkleys Toll Road Plan the approval of the Senator Bulkley of Ohio offered to the senate the great toll WITH plan that he has been working on for some time. It is designed to be a long range medium of work relief for the Jobless and to stimulate business. The measure provides for the con- struction, by the wi , federal government ten superhighi!k across the ways Sen. Bulkley country, three run ning east and west and three north and south. The cost Is put at eight billion dollars. This, according to the terms of the bill, would be liqtoll reasonable from uidated and from sale or lease charges of tracts of a strip of land not over 550 feet wide on each side of each highway. The tolls employed for estimating purposes were 25 and 50 cents on passenger and freight vehicles, respectively, plus IV2 mills a passenger .mile on passenger vehicles and 4 mills a ton mile on freight vehicles. Freight and passenger vehicles would operate on separate pavements. highway More for Dole Asked PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT in a special message asked congress to appropriate $250,000,000 more for relief to supplement the billion and a half relief fund. He said this was necessary to care for three million persons thrown out of work during the last three months. A bill to carry out the Presidents suggestions was introduced in the house immediately and speeded toward passage. Steel Price Cut; Wages Stay MAV right when he said recently that steel and other mass production industries could and should reduce prices to buyers levels and at the same time maintain the general wage level. Anyhow, United States Steel is doi.ig just that. This huge corporation extended indefinitely its working agreements with the Committee for Industrial Organization in which present rates of wages and the eight-hou- r day are maintained. At the same time the price of cold rolled sheets used in large amounts by the automobile industry was reduced $4 a ton, the first break in the steel industry's price structure. No Secret Alliances three curt expressions of Secretary of State Hull denied that the United States has any alliance with Great Britain relating to the event of war, or with any other power or any agreement in connection with the operations of the American navy. The denials were made in a letter to Senator Key Pittman, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations.
