selves with the knowledge (hat what

They did not look ahead to the win

dollara a month to provide food and

They merely accepted the preeeut that

One evening, soon after dinner.
Hiram Bnckworth decided that he

Ginger was not to be distracted by

ensconced or the foot of her bed with
files, orange wood sticks and buffers.
Then she went to (be studio with a
sigh o f relief. There she settled down
to a complete balancing o f her ac­
counts. She counted the dimes In the
doll’s trunk. She made careful entries
In her bnge ledger.
Her waste basket she found full to
overflowing of discarded letters, little
white angels, which had accompanied
the contributions to >be home. Ginger
was systematic and orderly.
These
angels were to be burned. So with
waste basket In one band, lantern In
the other, she made her way carefully
over the narrow beams, and down the
wabbly ladder.
She noted, comfortably, that the
two doors remained closed as she had
left them, and a pleasantly toothing
stillness pervaded the house. Softly
happily, with waste basket and Ian
tern, she slipped around the curve
o f tbs circular staircase and stopped.
She stopped aghast, electrified, spell
bound. For beneath her, before her
very eyes, there lay revealed a scene
whose unutterable disgustingness was
beyond her power o f description.
Tbs wide living room was lighted,
dimly lighted, by one small corner

Scientists Listen to “Conversation” of Ants
T w o scientists o f the University of

ants
A block o f wood was placed upon
the diaphragm o f an ordinary tele­
phone transmitter, which In turn
was con n ect»! through batteries and
amplifiers to a pair o f earphones
When the termites crawled over the
block o f wood the transmitter was
agitated, resulting In sound vibrations
which were clearly heard by the 11*
tenors at the headset.
When the ants became excited over
something or other their soldiers were
found to hammer their beads vigor

A man. monkey, opossum. Ilsard,

malaria genu have one thing In com­
mon: they must eat and breulhe, or
die. Every animal must have lungs
and slonmcli. or Ihe equivalent, fa ll
It viscera. Viscera are vHuls, th «
Bomelhlng without which there la no
living animal. What else have they
In common? A motor mechanism to

Even our primate ancestor up a

ready for nature's great experiment.
As Ilorg*on puts It; “ Man only

Many fam ilies of nature's maater-

length, or armor, tliut they had not
enough to live on. They pul all their
eggs In one hnakel. Earth's crust la

as time move* on.
For a bundle I thousand years nuin

How did man get along without ra­
