TIoNAL BOOK
Claims Education Of Girls In Europe

ASSOCIATED Pressl

BERLIN. Dec. 1S.-A sensational
book by Frau Won Ende, a German
American author, was published yes
terday. In 1t she says New York is
becoming un-Americanized, partly be-
cause the children Of New York's mil
lionaires are being educated IN Europe
and getting. their ideas of civilization
fiom Europe.
Another cause is the existence of vast
colonies of foreigners in New York
people whom not even the settlement
workers can convert into good Ameri-
cans.
She undertakes to explain why so
many American heiresses marry for
eign noblemen. She says American
heiresses do not get an American edu-
cation. Their brothers go to American
colleges and are imbued with the Amer
lean spirit and remain in touch with
American feelings; but the girls are
taught by French Of German govern
esses and brought up amid surround
ings which are supposed to initiate
those in which cultivated Europeans
live. Often the furnishings and paint
ings in their fathers mansions are
mere limitations, made by unscrupu-
lous European dealers, but still they
are capable of affecting a girls view of
life and what is most desirable In 1t.
So when American girls and mar
riageable American men meet In a
drawing room they have nothing In
common. The young women feel the
need of European civilization. They
are expatriated even before they make
their first voyage to Europe, says Frau
Won Ende. She says that If New York
wishes to remain genuinely. American
1t must return to the simplicity it en-
joyed before it's millionaires began to
buy pseudo-antique furniture and

ANTS IN BATTLE BRAVE

The pugnacity of ants leads them to
amuse themselves during long intervals
of peace by sham battles They rise
upon their back feet, wrestle. seize each
other by the jaws, antennae, or legs
mount on each others backs, roll oYet
and engage in other antics.
No injury is ever inflicted in these
combats. Neighboring communities of
ants are prone to engage in wars which
continue through weeks and months,
and usually end with the humiliation
of the weaker community. Mixed col
onies are rare. AS a rule, declares
Prof. K. Escherich, no outsider even
of the same species, is permitted to
enter the nest. The founding of a col
ony is a tremendous task, and many
queens evade it by entering small col
onies of other species, where they
either become adopted or kill the ma
tiVes and take possession Of the work
ers' pupae.
The mixed colony thus produced be
comes a pure colony of the queens S
species after the workers have died off
unless the supply of slaves is main
tanned by stealing pupae from neigh
boring communities. This is done by
a number of species which maintain
permanently mixed colonies. The slave
drivers adopt various tactics in their
raids, some species marching in com
pact armies, others in scattering de-
tachments.
The most notorious slave raider is
the big red Amazon ant, born soldier.
with sWordllke mandibles which are
murderously effective in warfare, but
useless for other purposes. So the
AmaZons are compelled to rely on their
slaves for all household labor and build
ing, the care of the young, and so on.
They cannot even feed themselves.
In some species the degeneration pro-
duced by slaVe-holding goes so far that
the masters are helpless parasites on
their slaves. Though these masters are
all males and perfect females, the
worker class being no longer produced,
they are wingless, grub-like creatures
scarcely capable of locomotion.

SLEEPER TRUNK FRAUD

the treasury has been defrauded out

ORIGIN OF AN OLD SAYING

"Rich as Peru" is a common saying,
but II is none the less true. The Or
igin OF the phrase dates back to the
Spanish conquest Of South America.
when it was fondly believed that the
Aztecs were all Croesuses. The fall
lacy was proven with the lives of In
Vulnerable Spanish adventures and the
real wealth of the country was left
for another day and generation to
discover Within the last few years
the Peruvian government has awak-
ened to the possibilities of development
of the natural resources of one Of the
most wealthy countries in the world in
natural heritage, ana ii is welcoming
the friendly invasion of foreign capital
with the same ardor exhibited by their
ancestors in defeating a like invasion
The first product that one associates
with the name of Peru Is guano, than
which no more powerful fertilizer
and stimulator Of vegetable life exists.
Credit for the discovery Of the com
lnercial value OF the immense beds Of
guano that line the rocky shores Of the
South Aemrican republic is given TO
Baron Humboldt From his time 70
the present the exploration Of these
ornithological deposits has been going
on steadily. and now the richest beds
are in danger Of being exhausted The
government Of late has controlled the
Industry and given licenses for work
ing the beds from April to September
During the rest of the year the in
dustry is prohibited to allow replen-
ishing by the penguin, seagulls and
pelicans. The right Of expectation is
now held by big British corporation.
It is estimated that more than IL
0O0, 900 tons of this modern RNruvian
wealth has been exported sihce its
value was discovered by the great Eng
Iish scientist. The three Chincha
islands are considered the richest Of
the ancient beds, while Lobos de Sierra
and Lobos de Afuera, off the north
coast Of Peru, have the most bountiful

Railroad and United Oil Company
Compete in Race to Get Greatest
Number of Wells Into

The spectacular production OF the
now famous Santa Fe well on section
six of the north Midway field, has been
the cause of an exciting race between
the railroad and the Midway Six Lease
owned by the United Oil company TO
get al many wells as possible into the
oil sands.
The United was just ready to spud
in it's first well when the stream of oil
came to the surface from the Santa
Fe, and at once ordered the material
for three more wells. Twin seventy
horsepower boilers have been installed
and dericks are now being erected with

hopes to have all three OF the new
wells started by January 1. Well No.
one on this property is now $50 feet

Santa Fe gusher, which is within $50
feet of this well, they will reach the
producing stratum at l4OO feet.

Other Active Properties
Other properties in this section that
have created considerable excitement
are the st. Lawrence, now flowing
2000 barrels daily; the Crandell No. l,
doing about 300 barrels; Cranlell No.
., reported as producing 1000 barrels;
Santa Fe on section nine and the Mid

last named property sold last week for
S320,000 to c. j. Berry, and associates.
The Santa Fe gusher was brought in
about thirty days ago and since that
time the Town of Taft has been boom
ing, 132 lots for all purposes having
been leased. Among the business en-
terprises represented by those who have
taken lots are two general stores, one
hotel, two lodging houses, one dry
goods store, two furnishing goods
stores, two restaurants, two laundries,
one pool and billiard han, one dancing
pavilion and town hall, two stables,
one meat market, two blacksmith
shops, one jewelry store, two express

deer SEEKS OUT
Waiting SLAYER
MIDDLE RIVER SETTLER HAS
GAME COME TO HIS VERY
FRONT DOOR.

Thief River Falls, Mimi. Nov. a.
There are many cases where a hunter
goes into the woods In search of one
Of the feet-footed members OF the
deer family only to return without a
deer or even the satisfaction OF get
ting shot at one OF the elusive dem
izens OF the forest. II is seldom, how
ever, that the hand OF fate is kind
enough TO send one Of the animals to
ones very door and literally cast itself
at ones feet.
This was the experience of a Mr..
Habernack, settler in the Middle
river district, according to reports
brought in by returning nimrods.
While blowing up stumps one day last
week Habernack and his helper heard
a sound In the brush near by that
greatly reaembled that of an animal
rushing through the underbrusn. A
sudden crack Of the brush and then all
was stiil.
The two men hastened to the spot
from which the sounds emanated to
find large buck in the last stages OF
collapse. The animal had been shot
through the windpipe and apparently
had run from those who fired the shot
until he could no longer breathe.
Habernack drew forth his trusty case
knife and severed the wounded ami
mars throat and proceeded to convert
the carcess into venison steaks and
'roasts. No one appeared IN search OF
the animal, so II is presumed that the
shot was fired some distance away
from where The buck finally gave }up
the ghost. Old hunters claim tnat they
have known OF deer being wounded
in this manner and trimming for FIVE or
six miles before being overcome by ex-
haustion.
