The Catholic bazaar last week netted a neat nest egg for the Altar society which stood sponsor for it. While the exact sum has not been de termined it will be more than $1000 it is believed. The award of prizes was the closing function of the bazaar. The beautiful doll, which won so much admiration and stimulated keen guessing of names, was christened Rose Marie, and this beautiful name was correct ly guessed by Helen Keeney a little girl who will very greatly appreciate the prize. Up to a late hour last evening the doll hadn't been delivered to Helen for the reason she could not be found The handsome center piece, which was largely sought after, was won by S. O. Ramsey. Vera Houghton won the watch, the time piece having stopped at 12:15. Mrs. Cornelia Bar ker Carse won the pipe. hereabouts. I saw a squad of these sanitary police in a patrol wagon the other day on the Avenida Rio Bronco. They were all heavily equipped with guns and cartridge belts. I suppose they were going to hunt mosquitos. . ill REPORTS FASHION NOTES BY MARGARET MASON (Writen for the United Press) All the bugs are full of tricks Down in Rio Bay Folks are also full of tricks On their jungle way; Then to nearly drive 'em frantic As they start to flea Ant and tick cut up an untie Ere they let em bee.

Rio De Janeiro, Sept. 20 (By Mail) 'Brazil abounds in buirs human and otherwise. Joyous little fleas leap lightly from limb to limb. You may flee your bed but you'll not flee the flea. Strange ns it may seem you won't find a tick in your bed though. The festive tick nests rather in the jungle. When you go mountain climb ing, or chid hunting or butterfly chas ing you'd better watch out for tick3 for you're sure to be covered with them. If you keep a watch on your wrist you'll find as many as sixty ticks a minute. I knew a man person ally who made this ticklish record. All Sorts of ants Brazil is the happy hunting ground of the ant, relatively speaking. There are all sorts and conditions of ants, big, little, red, brown and black. A young American engineer told me of an ant experience he once had in the interior of the country. He stopped hip, horse to rest under a huge tree and when the horse stamped and pranced around he investigated. The whole ground seemed to be moving with a vast army of ants -while up in the tree was another mess of them cutt ing the leaves in half and dropping them down to the ants below who car ried them away. The young engineer said when he came back over his same road in a couple of hours the tree was stripped absolutely bare. As can readily be seen ants are rather rough on vegetation and when they get in an orange grove they strip it in a single night. Natives Eat Them Up in the interior the natives get even with the big fat ants by eating them. They roast them till they pop. This is considered a great delicacy and although IT never tried any in this style I've had several small black ants served in my soup. A meek little bug is one that starts in at thefoot to get a fcos hold on life. It burrows in under your toe nail and proceeds to lay eggs and establish a cosy little home in toto. An inger- uous young Yankee who decides to leave one nesting in hi3 toe till he got back to the U. S. A. w.iere his doctor brother could do some research work only lost three of his toes as an out come of his scientific enthusiasm.

This little in sect has a great literary bent also and has been known to go through a com plete set of Shakespeare in a single night. Any thing in spiders from a teeny weeny one to a tarantula can be spied around Rio and there is an insect like our cricket only three times as large that serenades you madly in a great chorus when the night begins to fall. It is tobacco brown in color with a blunt head and has been christ ened "Cigaro" because by a wild stretch of the imagination it may be said to resemble a cigar butt. Three opal like jewels are set in its forehead. to perfect these channels of popular rule and to prevent their discredit by abuse.
