CATERPILLAR IN HARD LUCK
Nature Seems to Have Exercised Cru.
city in Making the Creature
Victim of Sphex Wasp.

The sphex wasp is assisted by ma
ture to an act that seems as cruel a
thing as if invented by man. When it
is time for the wasp to lay its eggs
it flies about until it finds a caterpil-
lar, and then proceeds to sting it. The
wasp's dart is thrust into the body
at random until movement ceases, the
venom being carried by the convulsive
jerks of the unhappy worm through its
body until the nerve centers are
touched. 1t then becomes motionless,
and the wasp proceeds to deposit its
eggs.
Death has not come to the cater
pillar, and it continues its motion
less existence until the larvae are
born, and is still helpless when the
young wasps proceed to eat him bit
by bit. The venom of the wasp not
only makes him helpless, but in addi-
tion forms a preservative so that in
case Of death the body remains firm
and still furnishes food for the baby
larvae. Caterpillars have been known
to continue in this life-death for ten
to fifteen days before decomposition
sets In.

HUMOROUS SIDE To WARFARE
Glory, Tragedy and Farce All Can Be
Mixed Up, as In Recent
Russian Maneuyers.

The humors Of war share places
with the casualty lists and military
movements in the news.
When General Bogaevsky was exc
cutting the retreat Of Wrangel's troops
in the TaKnak region of Russia, ne
found his train surrounded by the
rapidly advancing Bolsheviki. AS in
motion pictures, he jumped from his
car window into an automobile, and
there followed a flight toward the
river with the Reds in pursuit.
The bridge collapsed as the gener-
ais car rolled onto it, and the automo-
bile tumbled into the river. General
Bogaevsky leaped from the machine
as it fell and landed In a swamp,
where he hid in the rank reeds until
morning. Meantime the Reds in their
turn had retreated.
Northeast Of Alexandrovsk, where
there had been fighting. two newspa-
per men, Charles Rivet Of the Paris
Temps and Guy Beringer of Reuters,
Ltd, the British Press association,
captured 600 Reds. They saw bro
ken regiment of tired, hungry men
near a village; they walked up to the
Bolsheviki, proposed they surrender
so as to get food as Wrangel's pris-
oners, and marched back into the
south Russian lines at the head of the
bread line.

Lower Interest Sought By
Smith.

+ Washington, May 13.-Senator
Smith of South Carolina, chairman of
the subcommittee appointed by the
coalition of Southern and Western
Senators to draft an amendment to
the federal reserve act establishing
by law rather than by the option of
the federal reserve board the rate of
interest legally charged by banks of
the federal reserve System, inter-
viewed today the comptroller of the
treasury.
Tomorrow he will go over the en-
tire situation with Senator Hoover,
of the department of commerce. Sen
ator Smith declared tonight that he
had received encouragement at the
hands of the comptroller of the cur
rency and that he expected Secre-
tary Hoover also to encourage leg
islation for the comfort of the far
mer.
With his own and the views Of
these officials, Senator Smith will
prepare the proposed amendment. 1t
is understood that he is inclined to
believe that 5 per cent should be the
maximum interest rate of federal re-
serve banks, and that the renewal of
paper, properly secured, should be
possible for 12 rather than six
months, as is now the case.
Senator Smith tomorrow will also
see Secretary DENLY in hope that the
administration will not sanction the
effort of Senator Bell to cause an
of the constructor of
the s1,5OO,OOO dry dock at Charles
ton.

Christian Education Movement

Nashville, Tenn, May 16.-The
Southern Methodist Church is short
1000 preachers and is calling for
hundreds of volunteers to become
missionaries and trained church
workers in order that the needs of
the local church and the mission fields
may be supplied, it is announced by
the Christian education movement OF
the. Methodist Episcopal Church,
South.
In addition to the shortage of min
listers and missionaries, it is said that
the educational institutions of the
church are badly crippled on account
of the insufficient funds to make ne
cessary improvements in buildings
and equipment and to assist worthy
students to obtain educational ad-
vantages.
Leaders here say that it is in or
der to meet this situation that the
Christian education movement was
organized. This movement has the
right of way throughout the church
over all other causes. For the past
wear program of cultivation and
education has been in progress. Lead
ing men in both church and state
have devoted much time to speaking
in hehalf of the movement, and local
church men have kept the cause ac-
lively before the people in their COM
munities.
The climax of a Christian educa-
ton movement will be reached May
2e-June 5 when Simultaneous drive
for funds will be made throughout
the church. The amount sought is
S33,O0O,0OO. 1t is said that this
amount will put the 81 schools and
colleges on a permanent foundation
and will provide million-dollar aid
fund to assist worthy students who
wish to enter the ministry and other
forms of Christian service.

Citizenship Course For Women
During Summer School.

During the Short Course for Wo-
men, July 4-16 inclusive, the subject
of citizenship will be emphasized.
This subject is full of interest for
every one, and again we would say
the offerings of the Short Course are
open, not only to those who come
especially for the course, but to all
attending the summer school.
This year the course in citizenship
will emphasize several phases of gov
eminent. The women of the country
are now giving particular attention
to legislation, both national and
state. It is therefore we'll that they
discuss in detail in this course the
subject of congress and the state leg
islature, studying their organization,
their motheds and procedure, and
the way in which we proceed in order
to get our legislation passed. This
would also include discussion of the
provisions of those bills which wo-
mems organizations throughout the
country have endorsed, such as the
Sheppard-Towner and the Smith
Towner Bills.
Further, women are turning their
attention to matters of local govern
ment, especially to city and town
government, and they are consider,
ing thoughtfully the problems of mu-
nicipal housekeeping. This means
that women must become familiar
with the existing form of government
and learn how that government may
be improved. The commission form
and the City Manager plan will, very
naturally then, be discussed in this
course.
Whatever seems needed by the
group of women gathered in class
will doubtless be discussed. Certainly
women, if they are to become vital
factors for better conditions, must
have clear knowledge of what takes
place within the elmer circle" of
party in order that they may success
fully combat and overcome any per-
nicious forces. This would mean that
the broup discuss local, state and ma
tional committees, campaign funds,
etc., and ways in which to successful
ly prevent fraud at elections.

Must Hire His own Help.

A man who was house hunting dis
covered the kind of home he wanted.
The door was opened by pretty par

servant problem, he said:
"And are you to be let with the

'No," answered the maid; eff you
