Captain Lumb Thanks Scouts For Aid Dear Mr. Virgin: I am writing to tell you that I was very much impressed with the splendid work . performed by the Hoy Scouts in seating the hundreds of people who occupied tile grandstand during the inau gural ceremopies. I have seen many large crowds of p<-ople, hut never saw them liandJcd witli greater courtesy and expedition than was display ed by your splendid Scouts on the occasion of the inaugura tion of tiovcrnor William C. Sproul. Again, in the evening, their presence at the Governor's recep tion and their conduct under trying liours of standing duty, in my opinion, entitles them to the highest praise. It Ls to be regretted that many more boys of Scout age arc not active and interested in this splendid work which gives them opportunities for such honors as they won at Governor Sprout's inauguration.

The wind blew harder than it has for many months. Not long after the i quickening breezes reached Harris . burg the rain clouds were torn away I and huge rifts appeared across the ! rainy sky. The temperature dropped | with almost record-breaking celerity, 1 and before morning a gale was blow ing from the northwest. Windows rattled, shutters banged, flags were torn from their staffs and the river was kicked up into a choppy sea. The high waves tossed up In the river caused the thirty-foot launch, aachored just north of the Harris burg side of the Market street bridge to fill with water and founder along the side of the concrete promenade. The boat was buffeted about all day j by the waves and damaged consid erably. The storm is now passing seaward ] ] off the New England coast. It is at | tended by fresh to moderate gales , along the Atlantic coast from Hat • teras northward over the eastern J j portion of the Great Lakes. The highest velocity reported at 8 o'clock was forty-four miles an hour from the northwest of New York City. Rain hits fallen generally from j the lake region eastward to the At- I lantic ocean and south and east of j the Ohio river, while in the St. Law rence Valley snow was falling this I morning.

SCHUYLKILL COAL LAND'FAR BELOW ITS REAL VALUE Mine Expert Throws Bomb Into the Midst of Sen atorial Probe By Associated Presr Pottsvllle, Pa., Jan. 24. —T. Ella worth Davies, of Scranton, the coal mine expert who haa ao materially | increased the valuation of coal landa In Luzerne and Lackawanna counties for taxation purpoaea, threw a bomb Into the midst of the Schuylkill coun ty oal land ownera when ho testi fied before the committee that the coal lands of Schuylkill county, if assessed on the same rate of valua tion as in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, would have a total valua tion of $5,000,000,000. ; He estimated that there are about ; 23,000.000,000 tons of unmined coal in I the Schuylkill fldfds. The Senntors were astounded when | told that the present valuation is but I $25,000,000 for taxation purposes, al j though Lackawnnna, with only 400,- I 000,000 tons, has Its coal lands as sessed at $80,000,000, and they are to be increased to $100,000,000. The basis upon which he figured has been tested and proved in county and State Supreme courts, he added. Fguring on tfie present rate of min ing, he estimated for the Senators that the coal in Schuylkill county would not be cxhuastcd for 900 years. The taxation per ton of qoal at the rate he proposed and which is- in force in the two counties of the northern coal field amounted to about one six-hundredth of the profits now made on a ton of coal.

OFF THE RATES Spokesman Asks Congress to Withdraw Arbitrary Power From the President By Associated Press Waahtngton, Jan. 24.—Withdrawal immediately by Congress of the ar bitrary powers possessed by the President to fix freight rates was asked to-day by Clifford Thome, rep resenting various shippers, before the Senate Interstate Commerce Commit tee. H| said incalculable injury would be suffered by the shippers un less this was done. Optratlan la Distasteful Mr. Thtrne told the committee that Government . operation of railroads was "so (istasteful among the ship pers of the United States that were a popular vote taken to-day it would be defeated overwhelmingly." The railway administration, he said, how ever, had accomplished some good things that "must be saved out of the wreckage." He advocated amend ment of existing law so as to re store the suspension powers of the Interstate Commerce Commission; strike out t(e clause which he said attempted to make the orders of the President suterior to state and Fed eral law, and add a provision requir ing the direefcr general to pay final judgments aghinst common carriers under his contiol and charge the same to operating expenses where so chargeable priir to Government op eration. Mr. Thorne added that, while leg islation designed to bring about' a solution of the Qiilroad situation was being worked oU, the shippers want ed "protection against a business or ganization powers that are autocratic and tespotlc in charac ter."

The year 1919 Is Ukqly to be one of the worst "locuit yeurs" on record. But entomologists of tho United States Department of Agriculture see nothing alarming In the prospect. The periodical cicada, the :-eal name of the Insect commonly called "locust." will appear this year In the following states: Ala bama, District of Columbia, Del aware. Georgia, Illinois, -Indiana, lowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Mas sachusetts, Michigan, New Jer sey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Caro lina, Tennessee, Vermont, Vlr giniu, West Virginia and Wiscon sin. The Injury done "by the peri odical cicada consists almost wholly In chiseling groves in the branches of trees for depositing eggs. This Injury always appears to be greater thun it actually is. Popular alarm is usually out of proportion to general damage. 17-YEAR LOCUSTS TO ARRIVEJHIS YEAR [Continued from First I*nge.] erty applied only to members of the grasshopper family, and while It has a seventeen-year period, it also has' a thirteen-year period. It has been so long miscalled by the name of lo cust, however, that thereto no hope of diverting it of that incorrect ap-' pellatlon, and in the regions where there is the longer period of recur rence, it will continue to be known as the "17-year locust," and In the areas of the shorter recurrence pe riod, as the "13-year locust." The scientifically accepted name of peri odical cicada, therefore, is the only one that exactly fits. The statement that this is the most interesting insect Is the world will hardly be questioned anywhere, and it is the most interesting be cause it is the most anomalous,, or possibly, because it hits always ap peared to be so mysterious'. The fact that it appears in qovntlesg,numbers one year, then is hot see rtagain for half the averqge life time of human beings and then suddenly appears again in countiese /lumbers, has kept tl/e popular mind mystified and has woven many superstitions about the cicada. When it, is known that the insect spends the thirteen ot* seven teen years in slow devolpment be neath the ground and emerges at almost exactly the same spot .where it entered tke ground thirteen or seventeen years before—then the mystery disappears but the interest, if anything; is intensified. One of the querest things in nature is that in spite of such extremely slow growth in their subterranean habitat ail the millions of individuals attain matur ity and burst from the ground fit al most the same moment. Appearance Foretold Accurately "Every "locust year" -is, in some sort, a year of fear and dread. It ap pears to have been s6 with tli.e sav ages and has remained so with their civilized successors, notwithstand ing the fact that the cicada has been .under investigation for well ovbr 200 1 years, and the appearance of the swarms' are foretold by entomologists as accurately as eclipses of the moon are foretold by astronomers. People have fancied that they could detect in the cry of the cicanda a resem blance to the name of the monarch, Paraoh, that persecuted the Israel ites, and that occult belief or fear added to the somewhat dolorous sound has served to make the cry of the eicada generally an unwelcome one. Very long ago some superstition attached to the dark bars of the filmy wings. These bars are always in the shape of the letter "W," but few people remember that through a period of thirteen or seventeen years, and great significance is attached to it at each recurrence. Some prophet has arisen always to announce that the "W" on the locust's wings means "war." Inasmuch as the coming . 1919 brood of Jocusts may be one of the largest on record, it is particularly important to allay excessive fear of destruction to timber as well as to have people on guard, so that the few preventive measures possible may be applied.
