DoDGED THE WAsPs.
Simple Trick by Which the Woodsmen
Escaped a Stinqina.

A man on his first trip into the wilds
and marshes of an unknown country
with the United States drainage engi-
neers was struck by unique method
they have to escape from the attack
of wasps and hornets. The country
traversed is generally covered with
thick underground. and a path has to
be cut through this all, along the line.
SO when big wasp nest is reached
there is very little warning, some
times the aXmen cutting into Il big one
with their machetes.
The person relating this experience
was some sixty feet behind the AK
men with the instrument when all
at once the two aXmen dropped in
their tracks as if they had been struck
by thunderbolt The man behind
and the two chainmen did likewise.
While they were lying prone on the
grass and wet marsh they heard what
sounded like bullets Zooing over their
heads. One after the other they came
With angry tips, When things had
Tuiesed down a bit work was con
tinued, and the new man found that
10 escape from wasps or hornets the
thing to do was TO drop instanter
The insects seem TO be SO mad that
they fly in straight lines along
level and do not have time to hunt
around for you.
1t is said that hornets are not so
prone to follow this rule as wasps,
been stung to death by hornets, and
horses and mules likewise.--Chicago

Advocates Investigation.
WASHINGTON Smarting I'M
der a criticism of the navy, Secretary
Daniels came to it's defense. In a state
ment Issued by the naval secretary he
OppC sed any change in it's organiza-
ton and declared that the navy was
an effective fighting force, both de-
fers;v and offensive.
However, talk of the preparedness"
OF the United States for war will be
discouraged and investigation of the
subject will be opposed by this adj
ministratiOn.
President Wilson brushed aside the
question with the statement that talk
of the unpreparedness of the country
had been going on since he was ten
years old.
Gardner Raised Question.
Representative Gardner of Mass
achusetts recently brought the ques-
ton W by offering a, resolution in the
house asking for an inquiry into the
military condition of the country and
its preparedness for war.
During the day he brought up the
question again in the Ause and asked
Chairman Henry of the rules commit
tee to assign two days of the present
session for a hearing on this resOlu-
ton. Mr. Henry refused to agree to
the plan, and Mr.. Gardner announced
he would press for hearing immedi-
ately after congress reassembles in
December
Daniels Defends U. S. Program.
Secretary Daniels in his statement
declared our system of government
prC"iCed for a civilian head of the
navy. He opposed control by a mill
tary head, but explained the work
done by the general board of the navy.
His statement then went into the ma
val program of the nation since 1900.
which, since then, he said, had fully
recognized the Importance of destroy
ers and submarines. 1t continued:
cit has since 1907 consistently ad-
voc6ted the policy of four destroyers
for each battleship; it has annually
recGnm ended additional submarines
and tenders for submarines in the pro
portion of one tender to six sub
marines, and tenders to destroyers in
the proportion of one tender to six
teen destroyers."
Congress Authorizes Ships.
Speaking of the navy's strength IL
battleships and submarines, the secre-
tary said:
"The ultimate decision as to how
many vessels, how many of each type
shall be provided rests with congress.
having at hand the secretary of the
ni.vy's recommendation and under
standing the relative proportion of
such finances available for naval pur-
poses, congress authorizes the num-
bers and types of vessels that in its
opinion best answer the country's
needs
''The submarine is a most effective
defensive weapon and has great pos
siEilities of marked development in
the future as an offensive weapon. It
is not believed, however, that subma.
rines in their present state Of develop
ment will decide any naval war, but
