THE FLIES THAT WALK
 AND THE ANTS THAT TALK.

Tests conducted by the Nesting house people the other day showed tn It the movements of a flock of flies across a sheet of brown paper sound ed, by radio like the booming of thunder
 But flies footsteps aren't the half of it. Thomas Edison announces it will soon be possible to hear the con versation of ants. The question, What are the red ants saying?' had agitated scientists for years.
 Henry Ford, MT. Edison's close chIm, is following his experiments with keen interest. T have always wondered what the ants were saying said MT. Ford today. If they are saying what think they have, it may go hard with them
 ''The Westinghouse people have gone MT. Edison one better by de- claring that by means of a powerful radio anpf1ier the sound of mole cule turning over can be heard. which brings to mind the old song: I love to sit and listen most obtuse1y, Throughout the fading hours of the

 To all the little atoms running loosely, And all the little molecules at play"

LEADERS ARE NEEDED,
NOT FOLLOWERS, SAYS
NEBRASKA GOVERNOR
CBv Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Dec. 22-The nation
needs leaders not followers; cajolery
and patronage must be displaced by
words of wisdom and deeds of patrio-
tism, and the shift from representa-
tive government to direct action by
the people must be checked. declared
Governor S. r. McKelvie of Nebraska
speaking here today at the annual
meeting of the New England society OF
New York. Governor McKelvie, who
talked on Landmarks Of Progress" Is
the first person~li living west of the Mis-
sissippi to address the society.
The granting of human liberty was
pointed out by Governor McKelvte as
the lasting monument to the Pilgrims.
1T was the Pilgrims who proclaimed
equality among men," he said. 1T was
their ancestors who formed and adopt
ed the constitution, willing to forego
selfish interest in the cause of the
common welfare, believing that if the
people were protected in their inalien-
able right of life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness the natural resources
of the Land would be developed and the
nation made secure.
Depart From Landmarks
''We, today, have been gradually de-
parting lTOIQ IucSS we'll OSIdDi4oAOO
landmarks of the fathers, claiming to
be more progressive than they. Seri-
Gus problems confront US. We have
launched into numerous new fields OF
law making, enforcement and state ac-
tivity. The theory seems to be that
more laws make for more human equal
ity but the state cannot enforce equal
ity of result, it can only insure equal
ity of ODDOrtunity
"Our remedies for the present day
evils are work, adjustment of trade re
lations to meet the demands of world
wide humanity, an extension of credit
to any nation having a form of govern
ment worthy OF recognition. America
has been called the melting pot" 1t
IS well established fact that some of
The more serious economic and polit-
ical problems confronting us are the
direct outgrowth of failure to assimi-
late into a genuine Americanism a
large number of foreigners who come
to our shores. We must have a revival
of patriotism, love of country and I'M
selfish service to country, that we may
carry on functions of government that
our forefathers so wisely chose"

faculty to allow dancing and relax
other rules which are considered too

the student body and including mem
bers of every organization, Y. M. C. A.
and Y. w. G. A. among them, ask also
for control of the chapel services by
the students once a week, opening of
the sorority halls on specified date
nights SO that the girls may entertain
visitors, and request more leniency in
administration of the point system
The president of the college has made
no comment on the petition.

ment Of their acquaintaneeship.
But II was Dan who unwittingly
brought that enmity into active
display. He had met Mrs. wsring
several times since her return to
London, but had avoided her when
ever possible; chiefly because he
remembered vaguely that Il was
she who had taken him down to
Lady Denning's house upon that
fsteful eve Of Fancy Reyelrs we'd
ding--and that she had been more
or less an intimate of Austin
Knowles. Moreover he had seen
an expression Of cynical Amuse-
ment In her eyes more than once
when she had met him with Sally,
which had annoyed him, while II
had made him vaguely uneasy.
Upon one afternoon when Fancy
was giving . bridge party, Rsvell,
who had been a somewhat bored
onlooker, came face to face with
Brenda Waring as she came toward
the door Of the card room.
Her brows were bent, her lips
compressed, and her whole hand
some face was set in sullen lines
of bitter discomfort. II cleared,
however, as she caught sight Of
him, and with q quick flashing
smile, she slipped her hand into
the curve Of his arm.
"Hello, Dan! Not playing
What luck-.for me ! mean! I've
had q rotten afternoon and ! want
cheering up. Take me 10 . quiet
corner where we can rave . cup
of tea In peace, there's . dear, and
try to cheer me upr
Dan hesitated, then, resigning
himself 10 the inevitable, went
with her across the hall and in
through the open door Of q little,
apparently deserted morning
room.
The blinds had been partly
drawn, and the tiny apartment
was full Of shadows. Neither
noticed q half-screeEsd couch in
one Of the furthest corners, or
the red head Of Sally Hicks that
dented one Of It's black silk
cushions. Bridge did not appeal
to Sally, and the afternoon was
hot. Headachy, . little tired, and
annoyed by the chatter all about
her, she had slipped away to the
little morning room, and had fallen
into q ftful dose.
