HOW ANTS CAN HINDER
AIRPLANES

Ants have assumed new role In
Africa-that of enemies Of aviation.
Reports from surveyors Of the pro-
posed air route from Rhodesia to Cape
town say that ant hills have inter,
fered seriously with the placing Of
aerodromes.
To understand this phenomenon one
must understand how ubiquitous il the
ant In South Africa, writes William,
Morton Wheeler to the National Geo.
graphic society. He continues;
ANTS are to be found everywhere,
from the arctic regions to the tropics,
frOms timber line on the loftiest noun
tains to the shiftingJ sands nf The
dunes and seashores, and from the
dampest forests to the driest deserts.
Not only do they outnumber In indi.
yiduals all other terrestrial animals
but their colonies even in very circum-
scribed localities often defy enumera-
! ton.
Zone subfamily of the ants, the
Dorylinae, embracing the wonderful
driver ants of Africa and the legionary
ants of the American tropics are high
ly carniyorous, but nevertheless sue
coed in forming immense colonies, oft.
en- OF hundreds of thousands Of indi-
viduals. This they accomplish by re.
| linquiShing the sedentary habits so
characteristic of the great ma jority Of
ants. They keep moving in long files
through the jungles. capturing or kill
ing all the insects they encounter and
even overrunning dwellings, and, In
their search for cockroaches and 9TH
er vermin, driving out the human in
habitants.
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 continue
their predatory march. Evidently
they are able to remain carnivorous,
and at the same time to develop large
colonies, only because they are nomad-
lie and can thus draw their food sup
ply from large area.
"Certe;n individuals, the 'repletes' Of
the colony refrain from leaving tho
nest and foraging for food and be-
come converted into fagons by dis.
tending the crop to such enormous d.
mansions that the abdomen looks like.

"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 southwest
ern states, northern Mexico, South Ar

GOVERNMENT EXPERT SAYS
TRAcHOMA is IN NEWBERRY
Held Examinations on Tuesday
Board of Health Will Open Clinic
at High School Building Today.

Surgeon McMullen who has had
large experience in the treatment OF
srachoma was sent here by the feder-
al government, after the eye special
lists disagreed as to the eye disease
which has been prevalent in this sec
tion, principally among the children,
and after an examination of a num-
Der of cases pronounced the majority
of them trachoma in mild form, and
sl,e board Of health has now decided
to establish clinic.
By whatever name st is to be call
ed it is important that the cases suf-
fering with it have proper treatment.
of course in the proper treatment OF
any disease it is proper to have a
proper diagnosis. Without proper
diagnosis it is not possible to give
the proper treatment. At any rate
the government expert should know
what he is talking about, and there
should be no criticism of the other
specialists who differ. If the disease
can be cured while it is yet in its in
cipiency the thing to do is to go to
work and cure it. We understand
that at the stage to which the disease
has developed here that it is no diff
cult to treat and to cure. The peo-
pie should cooperate with those who
are to give the treatment and see
that everything possible is done to
stamp it out and to save the eyes of
those who have had mild cases.
IF your child has had any eye
trouble read the notice of the board
of health published in this issue and
take the child to the clinic for treat
nent. The eye ig a very important
part of the humany anatomy.
In another column is published a
statement from our Columbia cores
pondent gsxiag a history SO to speak
of the developments of the disease in
Newberry AID the steps that have
been taken by the board of health.
1t is all INTERESTING but the thing of
greatest interest just now is to give
the disease .the proper treatment and

COLUMBIA HOSPITAL
TREATS MANY CASES
DR.. Shaw Tells OF Trachorna Here
and Elssl lshere-Treatn,ent and
Prevention.
The State.

The State.
Having noted the little coutrover-
sizes in print concerning the trachoma
situation in South Carolina, would
like to add these few facts. Twelve
years ago, one or two cases year
would come to the hospitals OF
Columbia. This year ever 100 have
been admitted to the hospitals and
clinics. The original cases came from
the region of Prosperity and instead
of isolated eases we find often that
all the children in a family are in
fected probably through the old habit
of using ths family roller towel and
spreading tie infection. This condi-
tion is the asame that the United
States hossttal service has been ex-
cluding MIGRANTS from the shores OF
this country for IA years, when l saw
1t diagnosed b as trachonaa in Philadel-
phia in 19G4 and 1905. Being neither
oculist nor aurist that is as far as l
can go. When the eye sharks dis
agree the general practitioner gets a
chance to give his ideas on the matter.
1t is very serious situation whether
it really is trachoma or not if the
children are not treated. The opera
tion foc trachoma is a simple one in
proper hands and most effective as
has been demonstrated to me on sew
eral of my patients. In my opinion
what should be done to check the
disease is this: Better the living con-
ditions, more soap and water, each
member of the family have sepa-
rate towel boiled or otherwise dis
infected at frequent intervals.
