Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY, APRIL 12. 1913 MLJFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Rtf iftir and Tfibun. Synoie.l., 163) Unlike hcrml.ss Millipedes Centipedes Are Dangerous Unlike itit harmless little millipede cousin-the squirmy character with the many many legs - the centipede is potentially dangerous. It is equipped with sharp fangs and poison glands. It inhabits the same environment as the millipede: the dark underside of buildings or debris, in the crevices of trees or in the darker part of your garage. Like the millipede, the cen tipede has a segmented body except that it is less round and of a different color - usu ally brown, yellowish or or ange. Its body is hard due to the external body covering. On each segment of the flexi ble body the centipede has a single pair of legs - about 100 in all. This is how it gets the name centipede . . . from the Latin meaning 100 pedal extremities with many legs for fast mo tion, prey upon other animals smaller than itself, being par ticuiarly fond of earthworm beetles and roaches. It pounces on its prey like a jungle tiger grasps the luckless victim with all its legs, and sinks its poison fangs into the body The victim is paralyzed with in a matter of seconds. Being incapable of the slightest movement, it must wail until the hungry centipede devours it. Viciouinen Tail To find out for ourselves just how vicious the centipede really is, we constructed a cage with a fine screen and liberated in It a couple dozen very active, large roaches. We supplied suitable hiding places for the roaches, as well as a plentiful supply of their favorite foods. Capturing two healthy - looking centipedes, we dumped them into the roach cage. The centipedes The email hnv nrettv well ..rihrf mntlnede bv sav- scurried for cover. in. it looked like "the skele- Before long they ton of a small fish." On the end of each leg Is a sharp claw. Unlike the millipede With its supposed 1,000 legs, the centipede, with only a fraction of that number, Is a .very active creature - fast moving and very alert. The slow-moving millipede eats only vegetable matter, but sensed the presence of living food. They began stalking the roaches. As fast as roaches are, they were much too slow for the fast-moving cent! pedes. One by one they went the way of all flesh. They stalked their prey with a determined cunning, grabbing the roaches with 4-H NEWS Hippy Horn mi ken Officers were elected at a recent meeting of the Happy Homcmakers 4-H club. Cho sen were Joan Dubc, presi dent; Ann Dube. vice presi dent; Karen Dill, secretary; Carolyn Young, game leader; Neva Morris, song leader, and Mary Sue Emerson, re porter. Following the election, the girls went downtown and ar ranged a display in Pete's Ra dio and TV shop window. Preparation for the fair was the leading subject dis cussed at the next meeting of the club, held at the Phoenix High school. The girls judged a variety of articles--waste-paper cans, vases, table set tings, buttons, accessories and clothes combinations. While the sewing group was busy judging, the cooking group baked cakes. Donna Kedson gave a dem onstration on deviling eggs after the judging. Plans were then made for the Mothers' Tea to be held April 27. It will be at the Phoenix High school in the home economics room. A fashion review is planned. Each cake baked at the meeting was sampled and cri ticized. Mary Sue Emerson, Reporter Two Lake Resort (Wonder Top Transactions Are Announced Here the centipede feeds entirely Jjelr m,ony ' and injecting on living insects and worms. " '" J"l oenino me Head. Body Seperele The centipede's head is separated from its body, con nected to it with a genuine neck which allows the crea ture to turn Its head. Insect necks are more than a little unusual, but of course the centipede is not a true insect. It is, however, related- to them, as well as to many spe cies of sea creatures with seg mented bodies, such as the lobster and shrimp - a class of animals called arthropods. The arthropods are a mot ley group, comprising some mighty peculiar creatures: the crabs (called horseshoe or king), crayfish, ticks, spiders, .scorpions, barnacles and sow-bugs. There are many varieties of centipedes, one inhabiting the western section of America that measures six inches in length. But most are about two Inches in the body and about as large around as soda straw. Centipedes, well equipped roaches' head. The big bug would quiver for a second. then collapse with muscles paralyzed. . No wonder the old fashion ed method of ridding a house of bedbugs or roaches was to liberate a couple of centipedes in the room. "Cenly" the cen tipede is no Jady; on roaches she is murder.

In the army, it is well known that sometimes a soldier will go to sleep at night apparently well, and in j acute leukemia. I remember a young man who seemed well enough one day. The next day he was so ill that he was rush ed to a big clinic where he died during the night. His disease was an exceedingly acute leukemia - a sort of cancer of the blood. The most important thing that I can say to the heart broken parents of a child who has died with a virulent disease is that they mustn't keep blaming themselves, and they must not keep thinking every day, what could we have done lhat might have saved him? Should we have rushed him to some university hospital or big clinic? What did we do that was wrong? I say, do not keep brood- ment. Recently, I made rounds with Dr. Cooley and watched him work, and I was tre mendously impressed with hi.1 skill and his fineness as a human being.
