"Witlumt or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." BYRON Consider the Ant It haa been gaid that only the insects remain to contest man's mastery of the world and that the great struggle of the future lies against these tiny creatures who for untold millions of years have held their own and still dominate large portions of the globe. The animals that have not been en slaved by man face extermination. Even the song birds seem marked for slaughter. And we have weeks designated as "exterminate the insects week" in which we are urged to spray and poison and otherwise murder the only living crea tures that successfully assert their independence. And the government spends tens of millions of dollars employing an army of men in organized insect slaughter, without seriously diminishing their ranks. Many of these insects are fragile and wonderful crea tures, playing an important part in keeping old earth a flower garden. Take the butterflies, which flit about aim lessly and lazily, adding color and charm to the summer landscape of a world full of curious beauty had we but lei sure to observe it. But of course the delight the butterfly inspires is quite immoral in this day and age when only in dustry anil efficiency count. So we will limit our discussion to the humble but utilitarian ant, which alone seems, by superior civilization, to be able to hold her own and there fore is proper subject for discussion in this industrial age. Millions of years ago, long before the first primates evolved, the ant was functioning numerously and efficiently, as proved by remains in Baltic amber. As workers, organ izers, fighters, and builders, even our captains of industry are not the ant's equal, for the ants have perfected a civili zation that has stood the test of time and held their own while human civilizations have evolved, crumbled and passed away. And is this not proof of superior intelligence in the mastery of the problems of existence? Somewhat like the human family, the ants have not all progressed equally. Some species are still in what corre sponds to the stone age of humanity. They live by hunting and fighting. Others are in the pastoral stage, tending, pas turing and "milking" herds of other insects. Still others are in the agricultural era, planting, fertilizing and harvesting their gardens of fungi. Wiser than men, they have never Invented machinery for the making of useless things, hence there is work for all and they practise a cooperation in in dustry humanity has never attained. They seem to have tried every form of government and settled upon a combina tion of monarchy, democracy and communism. Entomologists have noted three of the types of human temperament among insects the phlegmatic, the sanguine and the choleric, and among the ants the latter two, often intermediate. The ant is active, intense and dogmatic, though examples of the phlegmatic are found. Whole genera, or even families conform to these types. Like humans also, the ants indulge in play or snort occasionally, staging sham fights without doing each other harm. Some of the more primitive species of ants still prac tise slavery, just as savage man still does. They raid other species, kill the conquered and enslave the young as toilers. And they suffer much the same penalty that overtakes hu man slave holders, they become parasitic, and like feudal lords, good for nothing but fighting. Dependent upon slaves for food and drink, decadence and extinction eventually fol low. In some species however, a parasitic queen is adopted by the host workers, and a mixed colony results. As the hosts die off a pure colony of the parasitic species is lett behind and may grow to be very populous and aggressive without showing any sign of parasitic origin an analogue of some human institutions, which after starting in humble and cringing parasitism, come to acquire insolent domina tion. Ants like men are gregarious and build cities and com munities whose population runs into the millions. They con struct highways, subways and tunnels. Their habits change with their environment as bur own do. Moreover no two species are identical in habits and even individuals of the same species have their individual characteristics as well as those of the species. They even keep certain insects "cows" as guests for their secretions, "in quantity infinitismal, but in quality highly excitatory, comparable with alcoholism among men and known to lend to similar degenerative social Tcsults." Whether they have an 18th amendment is not known. Structurally the ants have many advantages over man. In the first place there is their size, a vital factor in an overcrowded world, in which bulk is a handicap. They successfully defy the laws of gravity, can fall off the highest tree without injury, scale perpendicular walls or travel up side down. Their vision is probably superior, for they are sensitive to ultra-violet and other rays the human eye ia blind to. Their senses of smell and taste are infinitely su perior, for man's has atrophied. Their hearing is confined to useful things, such as their own signals and conversations they escape loud speakers and other unnecessary noises forced upon human ears. Their audition is confined to their ibwn world, just as ours is to our own. They probably hear subtle harmonies we cannot, but escape discords thrust upon human ears. Students of the ants, while admitting that many of their activit'es are reflexes are confident that they gi-c unmistakab' evidences of memory, appetites,- emotion, imitation and intelligence, or ability to modify their reac tions in conformity with previous cxperences and environ mental changes. Yet as Forcl observes "the majority of people regard insects as mere machines, whereas they con aider themselves to be created in the image of God." Yet the God who fashioned man, fashioned also the ant and endowed her with superior intelligence. Among the "four things which are little upon the earth, but exceeding wise" Solomon listed the ant, with the admonition: "Go to the ant, thou lufzard, consider her ways and be wise," LINDBERGH INAUGURATES NEW AIR-MAIL ROUTE I Mil mmftH w&to-1 Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock Id Wtisou park.

COUNTY NURSE ROJECT GETS START AT CLU Dallas The regular luncheon of tro Klwanfa club was held In the basement of - the Presbyterian church with the president, E. J. Page In the chair. After the lunch the meeting was turned over to Dr. V. C. staata who had charge of the program. He introduced Sadie Orr Dunbar, who gave a line talk on better health and how through education it was being brought about. She intro duced the subject by quoting the statistics furnished by the govern ment in the selection of men for the world war, stating that one out ol three were deficient to the ex tent that they were unfit for aerv lce. She said that it had been de cided by organizations devoted to Better health that this condition -could be helped by a change brought about by education, with this end in view teachers in our schools were now compelled to take training so that they could assist in trying to turn out mora nearly perfect specimens of humanity. At present or in the recent mist the only education on health was got ten when a boy or a girl wanted to compete in some game where clean living and health was a factor In their success. First then it was necessary to see that the teacher was prepared, and this is being done in the normal schools of this state. Mrs. Dunbar outlined four pur poses or objectives to be attained: first, to teach facts concerning hy giene and the mode of better living: second, to teach habits of health, to cause the child to form healthful habits; third, to Influence the child through the home and Its sur roundings to better living; fourth. to tne Dunning of a nroaram to be carried out through the future gen erations. She stated that through concerted effort of those inter ested in the youth of today that courses have been installed In the normal schools ' and now teachers come away from them prepared to at least look after the minor de fects In children and advise what la best for their welfare.- A law was passed so that each teacher must make a health Inspection of the pupils under his or her care. The expense of health nurse In some places is born by the school district and she Is placed In the same cat egory as other teachers of the regular staff. Mrs. Dunbar said, where the county bore the nurse expense she had six objectives which started in with birth and was carried on throush the years that the child was in school She referred to the cost of carrying children through the grades where they repeated the same grnrtt. whrn piwslbly If some' CHygglES JASON LEE N.
