The suggester is Councillor Gen ersi L'Hopitault of the department of the Seine, who has submitted project for the conversion of the Paris catacombs into bomb-proof gasproof shelters. ⠀
The idea, brings up immediately macabre thoughts of a vigil with the dead, for those parts of the catacombs vislied by tourists are decorated by shipbones and arm bones in geometrical patterns, with friezas of grinning skulle

WAR ON HOPPERS
DISCOVERY OF PARASITE
lowa City, Iowa. A germ war on grasshoppers was declared here by University of Iowa zoologists who announced discovery of a parasite which may end this scourge of agriculture in the Plains states.
NUCLEUS FOR SHELTERS But not all of the catacomber of Paris are filled with skeletons, and for they provide the nucleus shelters as easily utilisable as the champagne collars of Rhelms, which served in that capacity during the last war. The catacombe warn originally quarries, but after a subsidence in the Rue d'Enfer The (Hall Street), so called because no one knew how deep the cavity under it was, when half a dozen houses were swallowed up in 1774, the municipality filed in and aban- doned all the cuttings except those under streets.
germ, mophligameba locustae, measures 5/26,000ths of an inch and killed laboratory grass- hoppers within two weeks during experiments by Dr. E. H. Blifer, Dr. R. L. King and Dr. A. B. Tay- lor
Harmless to crops or other In- sects, the parasites are to be settled on the food of grasshoppers. Then, If the germ is as effective in the fields as in the laboratory, It will destroy reproductive organs, causo lassitude and eventually death. The germs multiply under favourable conditions at a rate of more than 1,000,000 a week.-
- War Department officials pointed out that the enlisted strength of the army had dropped 118,000 and that in addition, the five-year air! corps programme had not been sup- plied with new recruits, but had taken enlisted men from the In- fantry, Cavalry, and other combat branches. Many Infantry, and, Cavalry companies have, been un- dermanned.
