BIDS FOR STUDENT AUTHORS
Asks Disciples of Journalism OF UNI
versity to Contribute

University OF Washington students OF
journalism have been urged to offer
contributions to the Youth Companion.
Warren Durham Foster, department
editor of that publication, says:
THE chief and constant need OF
the Youths Companion is for suitable
short stories. These may be designed
especially to interest boys or girls, or
the whole household. They may deal
with pathos, humor, adventure, heroism,
with uncommon or everyday events.
In their appeal and their substance
they may fulfill these suggestions sepa-
rately or by a blending of elements.
They should never contain more than
1000 words and may be as short as
1900" Contributions to the paper
departments are also solicited.

Customs of Busy Little Insects

Among certain species of bees, ants
and wasps are found curious forms Of
highly developed social organization
challenging comparison with human
society,"" said Professor Kincaid Of the
department of zoology in lecture de-
livered recently before the Social Dem
ocratic club at the University of Wash
ington.
The honey bee with the marvellous
architecture of its comb, is purely
automatic creature" Professor Kincaid
explained, and our chief interest lies
with the common ant. Their nests
are sometimes eight feet across and
six or seven feet high. They are pro-
portionately much larger than the
Pyramids, single nest containing TO-
600, 900 or 100000 ants.
Ants from the same nest are very
kind to each other, but there is dead
ly enmity between different nests OF
the same species. An ant will never
refuse to feed hungry brother.
In California there is wonderful
ant, known as the agricultural ant,
which builds its nest in little clearing
formed by cutting down the grass. 1t
mines into the soil and forms cellars
for the storing Of grain"
Professor Kincaid showed on the
screen stereoptican view of one oil
these ants cutting seed from a wild
flower.
Ants would no doubt be even more
highly developed but for the handicap
of having but one finger on the hand, -
he said. They must hold things in
their mouths.

PROGRESSIVES GROWING
Poll by Farm and Home" Shows La
Toilette Choice of Voters

The newest branch Of the progressive
republican family is the one which start
ed last week in Massachusetts. 1t has
been apparent to political observers for
some time past that progressiveness
was about to break out in the Bay
State, and now at last it has done so.
Clifford Pinchot and Governor Bass
were among those who addressed a
tremendous audience in fremont Tenn
pie. The following resolutions, which
show the sentiment in Massachusetts,
were among those adopted:
I'VE believe in direct primaries for
delegates to the national convention
because of our faith in the wisdom OF
free opinion of the majority. We be-
lieve that the danger of being deceived
by demagogues is less than the danger
of being deceived by selfish or corrupt
party organizations.
I'VE believe in the direct election
of United States senators.
I'VE believe that legislation should
embody the deliberate purpose of the
majority, not the selfish designs OF
small minority nor the hasty impulse oil
an unenlightened public opinion. We
believe therefore, that the control Of
legislation by the people must be ex-
tended, not to replace but to safeguard
our system of representative govern
ment.
1--WE believe in the rigid enforce
ment OF existing pure food laws toi
protection of the public health; in the
elimination from the public service oil
those delinquent in the enforcement
of these laws and in the enactment oil
such additional legislation as is neces-
sary to preserve the safety Of consumers.
1--WE believe that natural resources
must be developed to keep pace with
the economic demand, but must not
be monopolized for the benefit OF the
few.
I'VE believe that national economy
in the transportation of merchandise
and the welfare of the consumer de-
mand the institution of parcel post

government"

A Crime to Give Away a Drink of Liquor

According to a recent decision of
the supreme court Of the state it is an
iniraction Of the law to even give away
a drink of intoxicating liquor in dry
territory. The decision was given in
the case Of the state against w. c.
Jones, who was tried in Whatcom
county on a charge of having given a
drink of liquor on the street in the dry
town Of Ferndale. The supreme court
says the local option law means exactly
what it says and that to permit a general
dispensation of liquor apparently with
out compensation would destroy the
whole effect of the dry law.

THANKSGIVING SPIRIT

Tomorrow will be observed
throughout our country as Thanks
giving. Everywhere men are call
cd by the proclamations of the Pres
ident OF the United States and the
Governor of Virginia to meet al
their respective places OF worship
and return thanks TO an all-bounti'
full Creator for the abundance Of
field and forest and sea, and for the
universal peace that has existed
within our land.
True there have been calamities
in places, homes destroyed, crimes
committed and losses recorded, but
taking the country over our bless
ings have been very many, far out
numbering the dark and appalling
things OF life. In spite of many
evils, there has been much of true
sympathy, OF genuine benevolence,
OF cordial spirit and Of brotherly
love and good fellowship.
And there will be family reunions
and gatherings around the 6resides
OF members of families whose duties
call them elsewhere in the busy af-
fairs of life. This one day to them
will no doubt prove a time for medi-
tation and taking account of toe ven
lures in which they have engaged
the previous twelve months. 1t is
well t1us at times to call a halt and
take time to think and mediate and
ponder over the serious affairs OF
life. The rush and hurry of the
present generation in their haste &c
get riches and honors and power is
not conducive 20 mental and spirit
ual growth, but is calculated rather
to fashion superficial characters.
The Thanksgiving observance
comes Down to us from the Puritan
fathers OF 1921, when the first fruits
OF weary toll were harvested by tn
Plymouth Colony, and the sturd,
settlers lifted up their hearts ant
voices in thanKfulness and praise I
God for his goodness and mercy
Since 1863 the last Thursday in Nc
vember has been proclaimed by tn
President as National ThankSgiv
ing Day.
