The throngs kept pouring through the gates at a rate that Indicated the biggest crowd that ever passed through the sneeaway turnstiles. Racing authorities mai-veled at the popularity of the Indianapolis speedwav, but several solved the problem by Attaching romance and sentiment to it.

Here the greatest speed contests of ths w.orld have been staged and the Indianapolis speedway is famous for its tnriiis. no amateur driver can stand its grind, for the track is not of the easy saucer type and is a test for both men and machines. Here. too. as one automobile authority expressed It, the crowd has seen many memorable events, the racing fans rererrins: con tinuaUy to the stirring- 1312 race, when Haiph uefaimas car died when within three laps of the tape, and Joe Dawann finished first.

The fact that this, too, is -the first big racing event since the war had Its lure for the thousands- The stands and fences were aglow with the colors of the allies. A big thrill was produced when all the speed way bands -were massed for a parade in front of the stands.

The famous Dodge Brothers band, with Av Libcrati directing, led the parade. When the bands reached the judges' stajid they halted and struck Up "The Star-Spangled Banner." Instantly the thousands of loyal Americans were on their feet. To see the throng rise was an inspiring sight for those- in the press and official stands.

There is this, however, to be said for the minstrels and the clowns they don keep It up in the same key-and place for five solid weeks on end.

True Jo the promise made by the United States department of agriculture, several months since, with solemn warnings of sinister Import, the seventeen-year locusts are ascending on the smiling land in clouda that later may blacken the sun in accord with the ancient traditions. The fact that the department modified its fateful forecast to a degree and in a measure which acquitted the Periodical Cicada of a modicum of the -evils attributed to him. has been quite overshadowed by his long police record, which eager feature writers have been faithful to keep before a confiding- public with all circumstantial detail.

To be just, the department said: "The fear of the ravages by the Periodical commonly miscalled the seventeenyear locust, is out of all proportion to the damage likely to be done. Little permanent injury Is apt to be wrought except to young orchards and nursery stock, and even in these cases precautionary measures can be taken. which will obviate most of the Injury. Of course, such precautionary measures now are much like locking the stable door, except inasmuch as they may look seventeen years hence. Damage Done by Locusts.

Thev may be mentioned, however, for the sake of Justice, as said before. The chief precantlon waa to defer the planting-of young orchards until fall; the next was to whitewash, fruit trees. The principal damage done by the seventeen-year locusts (miscalled or not) is' not the deA-ouring- of foliage and stem, but that accomplished bv the female in depositing her eggs. The egg deposfta are made in small slits ripped in the tender shoots and young branches of the trees with a sawlike contraption whfth causes the shoots and branches to die, and drop off. to a degree stunting the growth I of the tree -thus attacked.

Wallace when questioned. but nothing like that which the government has led people to believe. I wouldn't attempt'tp nay in dollars what It may amount to. but I will say, this: If the. locusts were to come every year for seventeen years and in the number they have been prophesied for this year, they wouldn't do as much damage as the grasshoppers did in Indiana last year.

are a common, every year occurrence; there is nothing spectacular about the grasshoppers and vou can't get people's attention with them. But the locust! Ah, there is that peculiar, fascinating- "seventeen-year' business which, combined with the an cient superstitions regarding them as forerunners of Diague ana iamme. ot war and pestilence, gave the government feature writers the very handle the adult principally in the absence of wings and the possession of long antennae and powerful anterior legs' (aa the scientists put IO. tail to the ground, where they dig themselves in and spend their long larval existence of about sixteen years- under ground, sucking on the roots of vegetation for a livelihood. About the beginning of the seven-teenth year the larva commences its transformation into the pupa or nymph, distinguished by the appearance of wing pads and short antenna.

Then in late May or early June of the locust year It emerges from the ground through neatly shaped holes about the fcice of a lead pencil, if the ground is dry and bare. If the ground is moist the pupa makes a mud tower, similar to those made by crawfish, and theae towers sometimes are built several weeks before the pupa finally leaves the earth. Crawls to a Tree Trunk. The Immature locust then crawls to a tree trunk cr ther -vertical surface, and In a few hours the outer skin hardens and a' little later splits open down along the middle of the back and the adult emerges. Another drying process is required before the insect is able to fly away and begin Its aerUl life, which continues a week ten days, while the flight of the brood lasts about Ave weeks.

The area covered bv the first emergence in Crown Hill cemetery this yea-was a little more than -J reet-ilong and hardly half as wide on each siiie of the road about yards east of the chapel. The trunks of some of the great elm trees literally were -covered at times-with the freshly emerged lo custs and the pupie, while the ground about the foot of the trees was covered inches deep for a space two feet wide with the dried and discarded skins or shells. Monuments and tombstones nearbA" offered attractive resting places for the final drying stages, and the first flights usually were made to these. A group of children watching the struggles of the pupie on a tree trunk with absorbed interest were startled by a gray-beLrd who came tottering by. The Locust Vocal Organs.

The female of the species in this perhaps sole instance. Is incapable of making a soutnl. The vocal organs are tdtuated In the thorax, protected by an opercular plate, and are quite unlike the sound organs of any other Insect. Each consists of a tightly stretched membrane or drum, which Is thrown--into a state of rapid vibration by a powerful muscle attached to the inner surface and passing down to the noor or the thoracic cavity. His End Is a Tragedy" The end the periodical cicada is a tragedy commensurate, from the point of view of the insect world, with the mystery and romance, of" his development.

In the late season he la attacked by a lower fungus, masapor clean ina. of the group entromophthoracene of minute parasites which inhabit the bodies of small flies and other insects, which sets up a decay that causes the posterior abdominal ribs to fall away nd results in the dissolution of the body. The Idea that the seventeen-year locusts appear in' the whole country only once in seventeen yean la erroneous. By bsecvatlons extending over many years the department of agriculture has established that here are thirty broods of seventeen-year locusts, each of which has a rather definite and often restricted distribution and time of emergence from the ground, so that it they yearned for to make thrilling read- is possible for a brood to be bury eome- ing. They Prefer Forest Trees.

As to the prevalence of locusts tn In diana during the present season. Mr. Wallace said the predictions of the de partment f- agriculture probably will be verified. "This most likely la because there were greater forest areas la Indiana during the laat preceding locust cvcle," Mr. Wallace said, "'then in Ohio, Illinois and other neighboring stat-a.

The locusts preferably attack forest trees, and usually return in greatest numbers In those areas which were most densely forested at the completion of the previous cycle. The damage locusts oo to initt trees. Mr. Wallace said, "is practically negligible. If an orchard haa a strip of foreat alongside It is not apt to suffer to any great extent- The worst injury I ever have seen to an orcnara oy locusts was where one was planted a ground that had been forest and locust infested during the last preceding cycle tand the planting was made two years before the locusts were out to reappear.

Even then, you might say. the damage was confined to a comparatively few young and tender branches. The Bai for Romancing. "After alt. the most interesting thing, naturally as it Is the most wonderful about the seventeen-year locusts Is that peculiar seventeen-year period required for the full fledged locust to mature through its several stages from the erg and which furnishes such admirable material and background for speculation and romancing of any eort however wild and improbable.

It "is to be observed that Mr. Wallace use the term "seven teejt-year locust" just like a human being; that the department of agriculture fays "-Periodical Cicada," miscalled "seventeen-year locust;" the Britariniea pays" "Cicada septendecim," while Dr. Frank K. Luta. associate curator of the American Museum of Natural History.

New York, in his recently publish-d "Field Book of Insects." speaks of "Tibicina It may besus-pected further that the specimen of the homopterous hemiptera most concerned would just a. oon be-called atir or all of these rtanies as some of those applied to him by the less learned and more eilanguistically gifted. Poetry Sacrificed to Accuracy, Kxception may be taken by some to the reference to the. locusts "amending upon the land smiling. Thi is an Instance where poetic implication must be iacriflced to stric accuracy.

After the egz ar hatched on the twiars of the trees, where they are deported tn batches of about r.fieen to the slit, the ia appearance frcm where nearly every year. This Idea may be better grasped bv supposing that in any neighborhood there are three or more eucb grnups. ine aauits or one or these may have appeared in 1311 and will appear again in The adult of another brood may have appeared in and again in 1313, and will appear again In The adults of still another brood may have appeared in ly.aa, and will reappear in VjZS. The Thirteen-Year LocusL The department, from the checks it has kept. Is able to say with almost complete accuracy when and in what territory the injects will appear.

Not only thi. but it also ha. established the existence of the "thirteen-year locust." which differs from the seventeen-year locut only In the number of years in Its cycle of development. The seventeen-year locusts now appearing belong to brood No. 10 of that classification, and are accompanied by brood No.

18 of the thirteen-year locusts, which, in addition to the fact that brood No. 10 most widely distributed of any. of the seventeen-year locusts, accounts lor the department's prediction of incredibly la ire numbers of the insects. The territory covered by brood No. 10 begin at the eastern extremity of Long Island and extends west and southward-ly to the Missisippl river near Cairo.

III. It extends a.s far north as central Wisconsin and as far south as central Georgia, with some isolated colonies a far northeast as upper Vermont and one as far west a the boundary between Iowa ar.d Nebraska, the whole distribution covering twenty states in whole or in part. Records Kept Since 1795. In thia territory are three regions of greatest' recurrence, one covering New Jersey. Maryland and eastern rennsyl-Aanla, another Including all of Indiana, the greater part of Ohio and southern Michigan and the thirdembraclng eastern Tennessee, western North Carolina and northern Georgia, The records of this brood have been kept by entomologists since ViTt.
