 Father Biever is now corresponding with Jesuit scientists in Brazil and Argentina to obtain full information as to the results these strange ants have achieved in their native land ana as to the methods employed to check their wonderful spread and fearful depredations. Father Biever believes that this ant will prove one of the great enemies of the contemplated ex- position because of their numbers and the persistent attacks they will make upon everything that may be exhibited.
 Father Blever says these pests not only attack and eventually Kill plants and fruit trees by placing parasitic scale upon their stems and consume everything edible about a house, but complaints have come from some of the best residents in the city that the ants have honeycombed the fine wood- work of their residences, such as ma hogany mantels and costly furniture with their destructive little forceps, and that hardwood doors, tables and chests have succumbd to their ravages.

SNOW NOT UNUSUAL.

Miss Ellen D. Larned of Thompson, Conn, who is a near relative of Presi- dent Hadley of Yale university, sends to the Hartford Courant an interest ing review of the conduct of previous months of May.
 No" Miss Larned says, "this is not the worst May experienced. It has not even broken my 56 year record. That feat was accomplished in 1882 with itsa amean temperature below 50. Tn the matter of snow 1t had no snow worth mentioning, only four-hours' fall on the 11th which did not even whiten the ground. Here is sample from Ashford Town Book:

NEW ORLEANS ANT PEST.
Jesuit Scientist Plans Whr on Insect
 Nuisance.

It Is a well known fact that within the last few years the ant nuisance in New Orleans has increased to such an extent that householders as well as manufacturers and merchants have been very seriously inconvenienced by them, says the Times-Democrat of that city.
 The question has proven an absorb ing one for scientists, and from time to time research has been made for the purpose of finding some relief from their invasion. Two years ago the superln- tendent of Audubon Park, then MT, Baekr, sought some relief from ants, but without avail. They were destroy ing the plants and flowers, and were even attacking the trees.
 They seem to have made their way from the upper section to the lower section of the city. Westwego, where many ships land from all parts of the world, was first infested with them. Then they made their way further downtown.
 IL has been noted that these pests att tack woodwork of the finest mahogany mantels, armotrs, cedar chests, floors and, in fact everything that is eatable. They aso attack fruit trees and hot house plants.
 Father Albert Biever, S. J., president l of Loyola college, has been making in- vestigations on the subject and has just received an interesting communi- cation from Germany Father Biever had an experience with an attempt to send some of the ants to Europe. Packages were done up in such man. ner as to get through the mails. but Uncle Sam refused to handle them
 One package sent by express was lost in New York; then another was sent. which reached its destination.
 The New Orleans ants sent to Ger many some time ago for special scien- tii1c investigation reached their destln- ation at last. The Rev. Eric Was mann, s. J., to whom they were con- signed and who is probably the great est living authority on ants, says that the New Orleans ant is the Iridomyrn- eX humilis (Mary), a native of Brazil and Argentina, and that its was im- ported into Louisiana by merchant chips, pr.

 Do we make mistake in continually emphasizing quality?
 We don't think so-at any rate the Corbin full-jewelled car is put together just as if each purchaser was a me- chanical expert-able to examine it minutely in every detail of its construc- ton.

Confidence

After you have sifted the different claims for your automobile patronage there is just one thing that determines your choice against all otherH
 Ind that Is the amount of confidence you have in the people who made tha car-thelr methods as wan as thair products. That confidence is not won by words. It must be earned.
 We firmly believe that the splsudid growth of the Corbin Motor vehicle Corporation since its establishment more than 50 years ago. is due most of all to it's possession of public confidence earned by the unvarying reliability of Corbin products.

PASADENA, March 1.-The mystery
which surrounded the finding of some
garments and blankets along the side
of the trail up Mount Wilson has at
last been solved. The. property was
thrown aside by three runaway boys
from the Pasadena children's training
school, They had been up to the peaks
and when they reached the middle of
the trail they decided that they did not
want to carry the school property any
farther and so threw it away. The
finding of the stuff lead some to fear
that some men were lost on the noun

OCEAN PARK WILL TALK
OF DISINC0RPORATING
snecial to The Herald.

OCEAN PARK, March 1.-For the
purpose of discussing the advisability
of disincorporation, a monster mass
meeting under auspices of the Venice
chamber of commerce will be held
Monday night at the Windward pier
auditorium.
Invitations are being forwarded to
every taxpayer in the city urging at
tendance at the meeting, and commit
tees have been put to work to create
public interest in the affair. Mrs.
George Sibley, president of the Citizens
Bank of Venice, today announced that
she was heartily in favor of the disin-
corporation of the city in which, she
stated, she has been paying taxes of
over $500 per annum without being able
to impress upon the members of the
board that she has rights to be con-
sidered in their administrative rulings
1t is announced that other matters to
be discussed at the meeting will include
local sewage conditions, the proposed
polytechnic high school, good roads and
the liquor question. Preceding the above
meeting a conference of the property
owners who threaten to bring suit
against the city trustees for neglect in
sewage matters will be held.

WANTS OUTFALL
ROUTE CHANGED
INGLEW00D OWNER THREAT
EMS AN INJUNCTION
Fears Contamination to Underground
Water SuppIy-Suggests Swinging
Sewer Around Hill to Avoid
Water-Bearing Lands

interests which are opposing the
citys route for the outfall sewer
through the water-bearing lands at
Inglewood threaten to file suit If the
line is not changed.
If the city changes the route to swing
around hill, as is suggested, it may
have the effect of absolving Contrac-
tors Stansbury and Powell from all
blame in connection with the throwing
up of their contract. 1t will be an ad
mission of impracticability of the pres
ent line. The city expects to recover
heavy damages on the bond of these
contractors.
Mayor Harper was notified yesterday
by the law firm of Gray, Barker &
Bowen that for the purpose of saving
the city needless expense and litigation
it will be well for the city either to
guarantee a water-tight sewer or to
change the route so as to avoid the
water bearing lands owned by parties
represented by Donald Barker of the
firm. Barker is said to own some of
this land and to represent owners of
others. His charge is that gases will
escape from the outfall and that water
will eXude from the sewer, thus con-
taminating the Inglewood underground
supply. He claims to have a market
now for this water.
Members of the board say the charges
are ridiculous-that the tendency of
water rushing through a sewer is not
to leak out of the pipe, but water from
the surrounding bed leaking into the
sewer because of outside pressure is
more likely.
Barker also contends that the floor of
the sewer is not water-tight; in other
words, that the sewer in places is only
concrete shell resting on the ground
and having no floor.
Members of the city engineers staff
say that concrete base is built for
all sections of the sewer which rest on
cnft ground

Hotel leighton was the scene of a
lively gathering last night in the cause
of charity. A benefit entertainment
was given for the explosion sufferers,
the guests of the hotel arranging a
delightful program. The proceeds will
amount to about $10O, which will be
added to the general fund.
Among those who took part in the
program were Master Mcpherson little
Mis- Loretto Kennel, Miss Georgia
Mitch&sl, Mis- Ethel Pearl Mitchell,
Misses Shuts and Forester James
Since, Mrs. Charles Stanley and Harry
Crouch. Mrs, Harberg acted as ac-
companist.
on March 10 another benefit will be
given through a football game, the
gross proceeds to be turned over to the
committee.
The committee reports about $500
paid out for the aid of the victims and
their families and $4,000 now ON hand.
but this amount will be inadequate to
pay the hospital expenses of those who
will be compelled to- remain some time.
The committee urges the need of
contributions to carry on the good
work.
