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

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

pedes. One by one they went
the way of all flesh.
They stalked their prey
with a determined cunning,
grabbing the roaches with

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.

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.

then collapse with muscles

. 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.
