Frank Wallace and the Dobson Fly.

But Don’t Be Alarmed; They're Really Harmless

or Raising

By JOE COLLIER

Nearly every day, some look in his eye walks into the State

Indianapolis

boy with an excited Library Building gripping a covered

glass jar in both hands and looking as if he could use a police escort. He asks for the State Entomologist and presents him with the glass

jail and prisoner, which invariably

turns out to be an insect planned

along the general lines of a nightmare. “What,” the boy asks in a sort of fascinated awe, “is that?”

Frank Wallace, the entomologist, says he knows the identity of the insect prisoner before he looks at it. . By the look in their eyes, and by their great earnestness, Mr. Wallace says he knows that these boys have run across and captured a Dobson fly in their vacation travels.

Hard to Convince

He also knows, Mr. Wallace says, that it will be very hard to convince these boys that they have not captured single-handed one of the worst menaces to the human race, something, perhaps, that has only this summer completed its invasion of the world which must now surely be doomed. The Dobson fly is truly a men-acing-looking insect. It has a wing spread of four inches, and sabre-like pinchers that seem perfectly capable, if manipulated shrewdly, of mowing down a man. Actually, no matter how dangerous he looks, the Dobson fly is practically harmless, comes from one of our oldest families, and constitutes no more of a menace to society than an occasional pinch if he is goaded.

Aliases Galore

Mr. Wallace now has a nice collection of the flies, all contributed by boys, and today he gave the fol-

lowing short life history of the flies | and their habits for publication. They are also known as crawlers, amly, conniption bugs, clippers, water grampuses, goggle goys, bogarts, crocks, hell devils, flip-flaps, alligators, Ho Jacks, snake-doctors, dragons, and hell-divers. They spend two years and 11 months of their lives under water, feeding on aquatic life and blustering around against heavy odds trying to fit themselves for adulthood. Then, when they become adults, they crawl ous of the water, which they have become used to, into the air, which they know nothing about, | and promptly perish, as they should have known they would. New Bunch Coming Up Before they die, however, they see to it that thousands of more eggs are laid on foliage over water, which start a whole new generation. They emerge from the water and crawl only at night, which shows the elements of good sense, but they eat nothing at all after they are in the air, which is considerably at variance with what is now known about sustaining life.

They are, in fact, one of the mest | HH

spectacular failures known to insect life, and no matter how fierce they look, they are unlikely to make any sinister mark on society. They are apt to scare you out of a

good night's sleep, though.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES : Gunman Orders Bon Bons, Then Robs Candy Store

A blond young man entered the Martha Washington Candy Store, 26 Monument Circle, last night and shopped around for a box of candy, finally choosing one that cost 50 cents. He handed a dollar to Mrs. George Doreff, 26, of 2525 N. Talbott St., and when she went to the cash register he followed her around the counter. Holding one hand in his coat pocket as if he had a gun, he took $20 from the register and ordered Mrs. Doreff to the balcony. “Don’t leave for five minutes,”

he ordered and disappeared. Three burglaries were reported to

police overnight. Richard Wilson, 21, of 124 N. Chester St., and Harold Palyan, 29, of 1624 Lawton St., employees

of Taggart’s Bakery, 2465 Winthrop Ave., reported that $8.25 was taken from their lockers at the bakery yesterday. Burglars who entered by removing a window pane took $2 in dimes from a boy’s bank last night, John

A. Bruhn, 35, of 6207 N. Pennsylvania St., told police. Eight $1 bills were taken from her purse which was in a dresser drawer, Mrs. Blanche Price, 612 E. 21st St., told police. She said her front door had been “jimmied.”
