New Jersey's critical water short

New Jersey's largest reservoir
Wanague In Butler has only 60
days' water supply left. It serves
; many cities. Including Bayonne and
Newark, the state's largest city.
Dark Outlook
And there Is little hope for Im
mediate relief in sight. Even an un
usual amount of rain In the near
future would leave the state's wa
ter reserves far below normal
In Roosevelt, about SO miles south
west of New York City, the two
artesian wells serving the town have
gone dry.
Emergency water Is being truck

away. Rinsed sAhcana, disconnected
bathtubs all available container

by householders yesterday to I et
their share from the trucks.
Workmen today continued driving
the two wells 40 feet deeper In the

Whatever became of the Plshwheel
gold strike?
Howling Arctic winds and sub-aero

that question clutched closely to
their frigid bosoms.
Oldtlmers Sam Gamble a n d Ed

have returned to Fairbanks.

They declare wryly that nothing
ran be determined until spring, but
"prospect look pretty blenk."
Drilling operations recently
stopped at SO feet when warm Chi
nook winds thawed the Yukon river
Ice and backed water over the drill
holes.
The strike started back In Octo
ber when Clifton Carroll found a
few nuggets attached to the muck
on the axle of his fishwheel some
30 mile south of Fort Uukon.

Termites
Faithful
Workers
By ARTHUR r.OHON
WASHINOTON. Dec. I
Proud people who trace their an
ceatry to the Mayflower got rude
Jolt today. A termite, who rarely
give himself airs, can trace his
ancestry back 360,000.000 years.
This tidbit comes from the Smith
soman Institution, which has Just
completed cataloguing mi different
aperies of termites.
When It turned out that the cat
logulng chore had been don by a
department of agriculture man who
has been studying the termite and
ways to control It for 40 years,
promptly called Dr. Thomas E
Bnyder to find out what's new In
the termite world.
The answer Is. nothing much.
Mleadv Work
Termites have been calmly
cnomping wood and developing
complex social organisation for 30.
000.000 years. And their ancestors,
Dr. Snyder said, go back 280.000,
000 years.
Somewhere along th line.'' he
said, ."the family split, and one
group became the cockroach."
Dr. Snyder haa a certain edmlra
Uon tor the cockroach. ("He's very
adaptable. He waa on earth long
before man. and I suspect he'll be
her long after we're gone.") But
hi real love Is th termite.
Intrigued
Dr. 8nyder met up with the ter
mite quit by accident. Some tele.
phone pole had been damaged, and
he went out to look at them.
There he saw his first queen ter
mite and he's been looking at ter
mites ever since.
In this country termites measure
only a quarter of an Inch, with the
winged adult measuring a half
Inch.
We got off lucky.
"I have seen a tropical queen
termite." said Snyder, "who was
four and one halt Inches long and
nearly two Inches In diameter."
Trouble
It has been during only the last
few thousand of its 30.000.000 years
mat the termite has given man any
trouble. That's when man moved
out of a coxy cave Into a house,
and termites moved In to chew on
the house.
Dr. Snyder says there's one dlf
ferenc between the ant and bee
kings and the king termite.
The ant and the bee kings die
alter mating." he said. "The ter.
mite king lives on. If you're going
to be a king, a termite king
much th beat proposition."
I ald I'd keep that In mind.
