With the F!lcker-It Wii
Eat New and Par Lain
In ( long, looping flight
sort of a yo-yo motion, the
yellow shafted flicker tailed
through the edge of the wood'
land. Suddenly he swooped
upward from the low point
of his undulating flight-curve
and came to rest against the
vertical side of a large tree.
Evidently the landing was
not accidental, the bird
sharp eyes had detected
moving column of large,
black, wood ants ascending
and descending the tree
trunk.
In a ragged line, up and
down the vertical trunk, the
insects moved; one line going
up, the other line moving
down. Evidently a scout-ant
had located a store of food
and the members of the col
ony had moved out of their
tree cavity to secure the food
The in-coming f I i c ' e r had
seen the moving line from
afar and now he straggled the
marching column. Ants were
his dish.
No Waiting
The bird didn't wait to
survey the situation, but
went right to work grabbing
one ant after another, pinch
lng the insect severely just
once and then swallowing it.
' Every few minutes he would
hunch himself up, always fol
lowing the straggling line,
eating as he went.
The interested human ob
server was a d v a ntageously
located. The line of marching
Insects, as well as the hungry
bird were all In plain sight,
right on his side of the tree.
The man was close enough to
count the insects as they dis
appeared down the bird's
throat.
With every six Inch hump
upward the bird had a fresh
supply in front of his darting
bill. The stupid ants, not
knowing what all the excite
ment was about, pursued their
scent trails, ignoring the dart
' ing hill until it snatched them
off the rough tree trunk.
On-Way Trip
Sixty-seven ants, the man
counted, all on the one-way
trip down. Some of the ants
must have survived and those
that did perhaps kept right on
marching, probably not even
aware that they were no Ion
ger on the tree, it had all
happened so fast.
The bird's body Juices
would rapidly still any ants
who continued to march, but
because the bird gobbled so
many so fast there must have
been many who survived for
a short while.
That there was a battle be
tween the birds and the ants
on the inside was evidenced
by the bird's twitching, and at
times actual leaps off the tree
trunk. A marching or kicking
ant is something to be reck
oned with.
The last couple of ants the
bird swallowed had to be
gulped down. It was an ef
fort. Hopping up into a conven
ient tree crotch, the bird
closed its eyes. He was satis
fied, but maybe there were a
couple of ants still active, for
the flicker twitched violently
every little while until com
plete anaesthesia rendered
them immobile.

$700 Million Said
Lost Each Year
By Carelessness
New York IDPII From the
past fortnight's news it could
appear that the stock market
could be used to lose money
as well as to make it. but a
survey discloses that many
Americans today don't need
any help in shedding cash.
Their money disappears at
home, at the office, on the
road, at work and at play be
fore it's spent. Someone may
help it disappear; fire, flood,
mice may do away with it.
But while the paper values
of the losses or gains in the
stock market are figured usu
ally in billions in a single
day's trading, cash losses ac
cording to the survey come to
$700,000 a year; money that
disappears before the owners
have time to spend it or put it
to work.
The survey was made at the
request oft he American Ex
press Co. by the Gallup or
ganization in association with
Opinion Research Corp.
Carelessness Factor
"In most instances," it said,
perhaps unnecessarily, "care
lessness is a factor ... it
can be said that virtually
every person who handles
money is subject to some loss
at some time or other."
The findings did not con
cern themselves with chil
dren; the survey was con
ducted among adults, and it
reported that one out of 11
adult Americans, or 9 per cent
of the population of 21 years
or over, lost a sum of cash
during the year-average, $75.
Nearly 1,250,000 persons lost
$200 or more.
"College ducated men and
women seem most loss-prone,"
the researchers found. "More
than one out of every six had
a loss during the year." Their
losses were more than twice
as frequent as those among
persons educated only in
grammar schools, and a little
less than twice those with high
school educations.
On the Air
By ELEANOR WIEBE
A group of doctors in Ugan
da, British East Africa, are
hard on the trail of a mosquito
hat may lead to a major
breakthrough in the search
for a virus that causes can
cer In humans.
Their 'story will be told on
"Breakthrough: Cancer Vi
rus" Friday at 8:30 p.m. on
KMED-TV. Dr. Denis Burkitt
and his associates, a ware ot an
unusually high incidence of
cancer in children in tropi
cal Africa, made a 10,000-mile
safari to gather information
and found that the dis"? oc
curred only In areas where
the temperatures never fell
below 60 degrees.
The doctors made a map of
the incidence of the cancer
found that it was almost iden
tical with a similar map for
mosquito-borne yellow fever.
They are now conducting
studies to check the possibil
ity that the disease may be
caused by a virus transmitted
by a mosquito or some similar
insect.
The program will also re
port on other research being
conducted for cancer-causing
viruses, at the National Can-.
ccr Institute in Washington,
the University of Pennsyl
vania School of Veterinary
Medicine, the Institute des Re
searches du Cancer in Paris,
nd at Cook County Jail In
Chicago.
Dr. Wendell M. Stanley,
winner of a Nobel Prize for
his research on viruses and di
rector of the University of
California virus laboratory,
comments on questions of
whether some human cancers
will prove to be caused by
viruses, whether anti-cancer
vaccines can be developed.
and whether , curative drugs
can be found to treat other
forms of cancer.
