ZEBRA SWALLOWTAIL.
}**? heard that Mr. Tiger Swallowtail
was boasting the other day," enid Mr.
Zebra Swallowtail, "or If he wasn't
poubdng he was telling 'some of the
habits of the family.
"I'd like to do that, too. I'd like to
show that I was like a tine animal
and that I had un Interesting family
name and a still.more Interesting fam
ily look.
"We really do look like zebras. Yes,
we really do. Of course, most people
know that zebras are something like
horses and that they have black and
white stripes und long flowing tulls.
"The zebras IOOK '?ke that, not the
horses. The zebras nra simply like
the horses. In general Shape, though
they nre much* smaller than horses.
"Now of course we don't look like
horses nt all. Not at nil.
"Rut sye do look something like
zebras, Just as Mr. Tiger Swallowtail
looks Uko a tiger In his markings.
"Wo have green und black stripes
and long, long tails. Of courso we
haven't tails such ns animals have,
but, if you luke n look at us you'll see
the kinds of tails we have, and that
they're tails nil right, even If they
don't look like the tails of animals, .
"And why should they look like the
the tails of animals? We aren't ani
mals and so there ls no reason why
we should have tails as they have.
"Rut still I did say that we had tails
something like the tull of a zebra as
far as having a good long tall was
concerned.
"Of course, our tails amount to noth
ing when compured to theirs, but we
couldn't go along through life with
tails the length of zebras' tails.
"There would be no butterfly left but
we'd simply be all tails If we did any
thing like that. *
"And that would never do. lt would
most certainly never do to have all
lt Is Fine to Be Striped."
tails and no butterflies 1 It would
never do nt all.
"But It Is Uno to be striped and to
look an interesting animal.
'"Gracious, goodness, mercy me, wo'
don't want lo let people think that the
Tiger Swallowtail ls the only butter
fly with u line animal name.
"And we don't want people to think
that the Tiger Swallowtail Is thc only
creature with markings like nu Animal.
"One thing ls pleasant though to
think about. And that ls that no one
cnn mistake us for any other kind ot
butterfly. Once they know a zebra
butterfly, It Is easy to know one the
next time.
"We aro certainly clearly marked,
and thnt ls tho way we like to be. We
don't care for quiet, dull shades of
wing dress. Wo care for bright and
distinct costumes.
"And distinct m?uns what one
cnn see clenrly.
, "Yes, every time one sees a Zebra
Butterfly und knows that there Is such
a butterfly ns a Zebra Butterfly one
knows' a Zebra Butterfly the next time
one sees a Zebra Butterfly.
"And Mr. Tiger Swallowtail mustn't
think he ls the only crentu.re with a
nnmc like an animal. I don't believe
he does really think so, but ho imiBtn't
be the only one allowed to tell his
story, for I want to tell the story of
the Zebra Butterfly who looks like the
Zebra.
"We have scent organs with which
to protect ourselves when we oro
younger than we nre now.
"These scent organs give forth
scent which ls not pleasant. So Mr.
Skunk needn't feel that he Is tho only
creature with that kind of way of
protecting himself. The caterpillars
have this way too, yes, Indeed, most of
them have!
"We each look like the ground and
the surrounding country In color when
we nre In our chrysalis state as wo
want to be. safe then, too.
"You see we're pretty wise ns well
as so tine as to our family name.
"Yes, the Zebra Butterfly ls a pretty
wise butt ter fly and knows quite a lot
about getting on In the world.
"But I must bc off now or I'll be
late for a party to which I nm In

HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE COST.
$3t2 lV>r Mlle is Hhown as Cost for
oe Miles in AndTersoai OouMty.
? i :'?CV
A dispatch from Columbia gives
tho following facto regurding cost of
highway maintenance on some of
the State highways in our State:
The cost of tho maintenance sys
tem on tho State highways of South
Carolina averaged for last year $251
per mile, with a* total coBt of $271,
913 for ma Int nilling 1,119 miles.
This is shown in the annual report
of the State Highway Department aa
, prepared for the Legislature by C.
H. Moorefield, chief engineer of the
department.
The ronds maintained under the
maintenance system are mostly no v.
The maintenance ls handled , with
several methods, different In various
: counties-the patrol system In some,
the gang system In others. The fact
that many of the highways are new
accounts for the low average main
tenance cost.
.The report of Mr. Moorefield
?hows that tho roads of the State
which'show tho best results of the
maintenance work are In (J/oenville
county. Under tho system 104 milos
in Greehyille wore maintained at an
hveragO cost of $503. The cost is
largo because of tho very heavy traf
fic over tho roads. W. II. willlmon
is superintendent of maintenance for
Greenville.
in Richland county 18 miles wero
maintained at an average Cost of
$398. Robert King ls superintendent
of .maintenance. Tho report shows
that tho ronds aro in good condi
tion. ' ,
.In Spartanburg the average coat
was $.385 and the mileage 78. In
Greenwood the cost was $307 and
tho mileage 57. lr Anderson the
cost was $312 and the miloage 96.
In York tho averagb cost wah $268
and the mileage 58. in Oraiigeburg
the cost averaged $304 per mlle for
34 miles.
The maintenance work is sup
ported by part of tho proceeds of the
automobilo licenses.
