SiIk-Producing Insects of
About 200 Different Kinds

The number of species of silk-pro-
ducing insects is very large, probably
more than 200, very few Of which are
of any practical value to mankind !;
while those portions Of the caterpillar
family which unite their silken tissues
to form family tent have not only de-
fed the ingenuity of man to unravel
their handiwOrk, but have made his
industry contribute to their support
by fOraging upon fruit-bearing and or
namental trees. The spider family,
notwithstanding many attempts to reel
their beautiful threads, still monOpo-
lize their products for purposes of
locomOtion and snares for unlucky in
Sects.

University of Pittsburgh football au-

POSTWAR SPORT BOOM
SEEN BY PILKINGTON

Jim PilEington, president of
the Association of Amateur
Oarsmen, sees a brilliant pros
pect for all athletic sports when
peace is declared, says the Great
Lakes Bulletin, official naval
station publication. Pilkington,
whose active association with
the government body in rowing
goes back to 1876-within q de-
cade Of the end Of the Civil
war-believes that conditions
following the great war will be
much the same as those which
were experienced here in the
reconstruction period.
"The Civil war, or rather the
ending Of it, gave sport its i'm
petus in this country" said
Pilkington.
Because Uncle Sam is prac-
tically making athletics COM
pulsory in the. land and naval
forces, hundreds and thousands
Of young men who never before
engaged in sport have become
active and enthusiastic athletes.
1t is easy to see what the re-
suit will be when the war ends"

Hard to Hit Nail on Head
With Definition of Hum0r

Endless are the definitions Of humor,
it's shading off from wit, the nature of
its appeal. But none of them really
satisfies. No nice little formulas or pre-
scriptions will guarantee jest's sue
cess. 1t is as vain to furnish humor
unless there be sense to perceive it,
as it is to supply reason when there
is no understanding to give it due
weight. Nothing is more precarious-
more dangerOus-than to recommend a
new book of humor. When you expect
a laugh you may get only an amazed
stare.

Trees Lean With the Wind;.
Nature Strengthens Roots

Nature makes no mistakes in an
choring trees. When the winds press
harder against one side Of tree than
another, nature strengthens the roots
on the side where the greatest strength
is required. In countries where they
have pretty constant winds from GER
tain direction you will find. all of the
trees leaning away from the direction
of the winds. If the south winds pre-
vail for the greater part Of the year
the trees lean to the north and the
greatest root growth Ia TO the south.

will they reject and prepare to fight

probably be signed or the bitterness

the latter may come But the next
few hours, or days at the most, will
decide. This is a momentous week

Largest Call Ever Made

calls for the mobilization of 290,-

largest single call issued under the

The remainder of the November
total, so far as announced, will be
made up of negroes, for entrain-
ment November 10 to 81.
With the assembling of the men
provided in these calls at camp, the

have passed the 100000 mark,

Men who registered September IL

limits will make up the largest pro-
portion of the November. fnobiliza-
ton, as the eligible list remaining
from previous registrations largely
was exhausted by the October calls.
Though the October calls were sus-
pended because of the influenza
epidemic, nearly all have been re-
issued during the last three weeks.
In States where the calls have not
been reissued. men called for camp
in October will leave with the men
called for this month. Calls for
additional men to ontrain later this
month are in preparation, it was

ALLIES SUBMIT TERMS
TO GERMANY.

Washington. November 4.-Terms
upon which Germany may obtain an
Immediate armistice and end the
war were completed and signed to-
day in Paris. Secretary Lansing an
nOunced the fact tonight in a brief
statement, adding only that complete
diplomatic harmony had been ac-
hieved by the allied and American
confereCs at Versailles.
1t may be stated authoritatively
that the terms, not yet given out for
publication, follow closely those UNI
der which Austria-Huncary sur
rendered to-day and passed out Of
the war, leaving Germany to stand
alone against the world.
The presumption in official circles
here tonight was that the stipuld-
tions would be in the hands OF the
German Government in less than
twenty-four hours. If they are ac-
cepted a reply settling the issue Of
peace or further fighting may also
be received within that time. The
uncertainty caused President WY
son to cancel tonight his proposed
trip to New Jersey tomorrow to cast
his vote in the congressional cleo
tons.
Although the complete text of the
historic Versailles document proba-
bly, is only now on the cables for
Washington, its substance had been
reported upon fully and approved by
the President before the final draft
was prepared.

LAUNCHED AGAIN.

Sixty-three years ago DIR. ID. s.
Hale, of Fordsville, then a young
man of twenty, launched on the
matrimonial sea. The sea was calm
and the waves never rough and the
doctor sailed smoothly on. But the
time came when the good mate Ian
guished and passed away. She was
buried year ago amidst the tears of
the grief-struck husband and sorrow
ing children.
The skipper towed the ship of life
into friendly port and for a year
he journeyed the pathway
alone. Age crept upon him and the
creptitudes of the descending
scale. And again came the call of
the sea. New life was kindled in the
failing form, new love awoke in the
aged heart. More rosy and sweet
are the dreams of age than the rap
turous visions of youth. And SO at
eighty-three the doctor launched
again. He was married Saturday
morning, November 2. at the Ohio
County courthouse, by Judge Cook.
His bride, Mrs. M. A. Malone. is fifty
two years of age. DR.. Hale is well
known in this section and is the
father OF ]. w. Hale. the popular
jeweler Of Fordsville. The Herald
together with his many friends wish
him soft winds and a smiling sky on
this his second voyage.
