It will come to a climax at national finals to be held in Memphis in Octo ber. The contest was suggested by Dr. John H.

“Driver” Ants Terror to Natives

West African Insects Travel Much Like an Army— Eat Elephants. Purdue, Ind. —Ants are looked upon to Indiana mostly as household nulI sances, but In West Africa they can become a question of life and death. Such is the gist of a letter received -ecently by T. R. Johnson of the Purdue university news bureau from Homer Pease, a graduate of the Purdue school of agriculture, class of 1926, who is a junior planter at Mon- ! rovla. Liberia. West Africa. Pease is « native of Seelyville, near Terre Haute, and was promihent in campus activities while In Purdue. Mail takes a month to reach Indii ana from Monrovia, and the incident which Pease relates occurred in June, j The letter follows: “The drivers, the particular species »f the- ants whicn-ereated havoc last sight, came in about 1 a. m. They got < <i my bed and woke me up with their : biting, and they can bite. The bed was nearly covered. I jumped out and I pulled on my mosquito boots and by that time there were so many on the bed I couldn’t see the sheets. I tried to find an ant-free room, but there wasn’t any I I ran to the kitchen — j the kitchen is a separate building—i tnd told my boy to get my bath robe, I but one look at the ants and be wouldn’t stir. Those natives have had previous experience with drivers. I threatened to fire him but he was adamant, so 1 spent the rest of the •vening—it was raining—in the damp, with a fire blazing in the kitchen. Ants Kilk Rats. “About 4 a m. I heard rats squeal- . Ing In the thatch roof and a little ! later I heard something hit the ground. ? I went out to investigate with a flashtight and counted five half-grown rats covered with ants and more falling ; every minute. By daylight there were i just a few stragglers left on the floor. ■ The boy got my clothes and I picked the ants out of them. I put my boy to work and came in for breakfast about 8 a. m. “By that time the drivers were leaving. The drivers or *warriors’ of the outfit (what do you call a group of I anta—colonies, gangs or what?) had rounded up the workers from off the floor and furniture and had established a line or trench from the roof, down a post to the floor, across the floor about two feet from where I was sitting, and on out the door. I went out to see bow the rats fared and ail that was left was a few bones. When I came back at noon there wasn’t a sign of an ant. “I just feel like I imagine folks feel after a tornado or hurricane that has created havoc with everything but left their house standing. “To you people who jionT know drivers, this whole thing may sound like a wild dream, but it Is the truth. “Old and experienced men say that the driver ant is one of the most feared animals tn Africa. They eat anything from, dead monkeys to live elephants. Ln killing elephants they crawl up tn the trunk and drive the beast crazy and he beats himself to death. There is the story of a man who got so drunk that on his way home he fell and presumably couldn't get up; the next morning they found his bones and the drivers leaving. “I haven't any technical knowledge of ants, especially drivers, but I have watched them a great deal. There teems to be a definite form of organisation. much Uke an army. TM workers are small, about one-quarter inch, while the drivers are large, with ferocious snippers. In moving, the drivers

My bungalow seems to be on an ant hill, for there are always hundreds of little black ones in everything. “Then we have ants that live in trees, ants that live in bushes, ants that build big mud bouses and some that build small Insulator houses, like the Insulators on a high tension line. “The little black ones are not dangerous, just obnoxious and pestiferous. They eat my sugar, get on the table and into everything—the soup, jam, the water and everything that hasn’t a fool and ant-proof lid. You can get used to a lot of little things, but I can’t get used to ants in my drinking water. “These little red ants that build their nests on the under side of the leaves of small bushes are/not to be disturbed because they are liquid fire and nothing else. “The ‘mason’ ants are the large ones that build large pyramid mud houses. Some of these houses are six or seven feet high and built out of the choicest clay. Each hill constitutes a colony and has oae queen, which' like a queen bee does nothing but lay eggs. It is six inches long and a great delicacy for the boys. * “Besides all of these ants we havp one ant which at one stage in the life fycle sprouts wings and flies about or one night—not just a few but millions of them.” Hairdressing Takes All Day in Madagascar Tananaarive. Madagascar. — Bobs and shingles are making little headway among the women of the Betsilea tribe, famous for their elaborate coiffures. Having their crowning glory arranged is their principal vocation. The operation usually begins at 6 a. in., and if the operator is skillful may be completed at 6 p. m. But time Is of little value here, and the dusky hair dressers are contented with a fee varying from four to ten cents, according to the nature of the work.

This Dixie Baby Has 25 Toes, 18 Fingers Charlotte, N. C. —Twenty-five toes and eighteen fingers were In possession of a three-year-old colored baby who was registered at the orthopedic clinic at the city health department The child. Betty Burton, daughter of G. M. Burton of Cornelius, was brought to the clinic by her mother, who was Informed by the attending surgeon that the superabundance of fingers and toes could easily be removed and the child made normal. The hands and feet of the little pickaninny were fearfully cluttered with the extra protuberances. The legs were small and weak, and the mother said the child could not walk alone.

ing agreement with the telephone company. the treasury collected a portion of the receipts from coin slots while federal phones could not be used for personal calls. Many departments economized by personal cuts. In many Instances high salaried employees who resigned were replaced by employees at much lower salaries. Running the government costs $4,000.000.000 annually and because of this huge outlay no economies, no matter bow small, could be overlooked. Rubber bands were used over and over, until Postmaster General New exclaimed he could get some of his around a bass drum. The Agricultural department even used its pay envelopes over again.

Honeymoon Left Out, Bride Deserts Groom Boston. William Alexander, possessor of a Scotch brogue, recited to Judge McCoole of the Suffolk Probate court the incidents of his married life of eight hours. He sought and obtained a divorce on the ground of desertion. He said that he married bis wife. Catherine, now living tn Lowell, in that city In January. 1924. After the ceremony they went to the home he had prepared in Boston. As the hour of ten o’clock approached he suggested to ber, “It’s time to go to bed." She did not agree to this, he said, but he carried out his own inclination and retired. During the night he awoke to find her still absent and going to the kitchen found her sitting by the stove He went back to bed and on awakening the next morning heard her telephone to her brother to come and get her. This the brother did. When asked for an explanation of this somewhat unusual conduct on the part of a bride, Mr. Alexander offered, “It was because I did not take her away on a honeymoon."

Man Eats byt Fraction of Total Food Supply Yonkers, N. Y.—Burning 8,900,U00,000.000 tons of coal, 8,900 times as much as the world produces in a year, will release about as much energy as contained in the sunlight captured annually through the production of plant foods. Os this huge total, the human race uses less than two-tenths of 1 per cent, according to an estimate by Dr. John M. Arthur of the Boyce Institute for Plant Research here. Every day each one of the 1.750,000000 human beings on the earth consumes about 2,000 calories of food. Even meat comes Indirectly from plants. The human race is therefore dependent on photosynthesis, the process by which the plant uses sunlight to form food. The total consumption of food during a year by man amounts to about 1.200.000,000.000,000 calories. All of the other animal life, vertebrate or invertebrate, large or microscopic, on the globe is estimated to consume about six times this amount.

IFo/vea Threaten Industry Patagonia, which is one of the great enters of sheep breeding, is in terrible trouble because of packs of dogwolves which are destroying sheep by the thousand. These creatures are crosses between the native wolf and collies that have run wild. They have little fear of man and. Indeed, have killed many shepherds. They are doing such terrible damage that the export of wool and mutton from Patagonia is rapidly decreasing. The charm of a bathroom is Its spotessness.
