caused the accident.
Many who saw tho accident thought
that the driver had been pinned under

and little nitrogenous matter.
 Many ants are so inordinately fond of this food that they not only acquire an intimate acquaintance with the habits of the adult plant-l lice and scale insects, but actually collect and store their eggs in the nests during winter in order that they may during the en- suing spring distribute the matching young over the roots or foliage of the plants.
 Certain individuals, the 'repletes, of the colony refrain from leaving the nest and foraging for food and becomes converted into fiagons by distending the crop to such enormous dimensions that the abdomen looks like a trans parent bead. In this, condition they hang by their claws from the roof of the nest chamber and thenceforth spend all their lives receiving liquid food, from the tongues of the foraging ants, storing it in their crops, and re- gurg1tating it to hungry individuals when the liquid food supply outside the nest becomes inadequate. This is, of course, apt to be the case periodically in dry regions, so that we find the true honey ants only in deserts like those of the southwestern states, northern Mexico, South Africa, and Central Australia

The sub base nine won the service championship of New England last season by defeating the fast shipping board team of Boston in a championship series The players which compose the JeWett City club are all former membeEs of the famous St. Mary's team which ere ated such a sensation last season, also being the champion amateur team in the state of Connecticut, so this game at the base today should be hummer

ployed in the construction the Egyp- tian pyramids were ever raised to the height and swung into the positions they now occupy. Quite as great a marvel to the modern engineer is the problem involved in the Quarrying of so enormous a block of stone as the one discovered in Baalbec.
 This monolith is 69 feet long, 14 feet broad and F feet deep. Its weight is calculated at 1,500 tons, Close at hand stand the ruins of the ancient temple of the sun. It is contended this huge stone was intended to form part of the building. This supposition is based on the fact that in one of the walls still standing are to be seen great slabs of stone which by actual measurement disclose a length of 63 feet and d height of 13 feet.
 More wonderful is the engineering feat which placed them in the position where they are today, nineteen feet above the level of the ground. No sign of any cement is to be found anywhere to bind the stones of this ancient structure. The slabs have been squar- ed so precisely and polished, that only after careful search can the joining be found. It is impossible, it is stated, to thrust between them even the small blade of a pocket knife
 The beautiful perfection in all the process involved in the quarrying preparing of the stone and the build. ing of these ancient temples leads the scientists still further into wonderment at the quality of the mental and mora equipment of those ancient werkmen No laborer who stopped with his ham

WHERE ANTS
 HANDICAP AVIATION

Ants have assumed a new role in Africa-that of enemies of aviation Reports from surveyors of the propos- ed air route from Rhodesia to Cape town say that ant hills have interfered seriously with the placing of aero dromes.
 To understand this phenomenon one must understand how ubiquitous, is the ant in South Africa, says bulletin of the National Geographic Society which quotes from communication to the society by William Morton Wheeler as follows:
 Ants are to be found everywhere, from the arctic regions to the tropics, from the tinlberline on the loftiest mountains to the shifting sands of the dunes and seashores, and from the dampest forests to the driest deserts. Not only do they outnumber in individ- uals all other terrestrial animals, but their colonies even in very circum- scribed localities often defy enumera- ation.
 One subfamily of the ants, the Dorylinae. embracing the wonderful driver ants of Africa and the legionary ants of the Amer 4can tropics, are high ly carnivorous, but nevertheless suc- ceed in forming immense colonies, often of hundreds of thousands of in- OlFluudiS. HIS they idCCOILpilSH Dy re- linquishing the sedentary habits so characteristic of the great majority of ants. They keep moivng in long files through the jungles, capturing or kill ing all the insects they encounter, and even oYerrunning dwellings, and, in their search for cockroaches and other vermin. driving out the human inhab- itants. From time to time these strange ants bivouac for the night or for few days in some hole in the ground, or under tree, but soon con- tinue their predatory march. Evident ly they are able to remain carnivorous, and at the same time to develop large colonies, only because they are nomad- ic and can thus draw their food supply from a large area.
 One of the earliest departures from an exclusively animal diet is seen among the ants which attend plant lice, scale insects, and leaf-hoppers and feed on their sacchrine excrement. This ezcrement is, of course, merely plant sap slightly altered in it's chem ical constitution by passing through the digestive tract of the insects, and containing nanch watAr, snrnA es@aA

 Many extensive gains were registered in the early and intermediate periods, but ,hees suffered material reduction in the final hour. when call loans rose gradually from : per cent, the opening rate, to 10 per cent
 The optimism of the professional ele- mert seemed based largely on an increas- inE conviction that credit conditions are tending towards easement; also the belief that industrial and commercial conditions are becoming more stable
 News that the German government had accepted the disarmament terms of the allies was another factor of sentimental importance This was evidenced by the strength of French and Belgian ex- change. which extended in more moderate measure to British bills.
 Trade authorities, in their weekly re- views. dwelt in detail upon the downward trend of staple commodity prices. Ap- oroximateiy 100 articles of common use were lower by slightly more than per cent from the peak of last February.
