JUNGLE STUFF

Down in the tronics. takes place one of the most interest
ing Irregularities of the great mystery, life. This one deals
with a partnership between plants and insects Tor mutua
protection.
Come into the jungle. See the leaf-cutting ants, one 81
,be most destructive insect of the tropics. They frequently
strip a tree of its entire foliage in a night.
The ants lug away the leaves over roads when they nave
built. These roads are six inches wide, sometimes a ME
long, and are kept in repair and free of vegetation by squaas
of "white-wing' ants.
At the far end of the road the ants turn the leaves into q
compost, or fertilizer, from which springs up a fungus grown,
a kind Of mushroom for which the ants are gluttons.
tfThese minute insects have become expert mushroom
growers" says Dr.. F. j. Seaver, who tells the story ID 9 iee-
ture at the New York Botanical Garden.
The leaf-cutting ants turn from the trees and attack GER
tain Jungle plants, Maybe these plants have ntelhgence,
maybe not. - ~
At any rate, they seek a means of protection. Presto! Az
esidea' comes to them. They change their shape, alter tnsf
structure until they become small hotels.
Colonies of fighting ants observe that the plants nave Pro
yided ideal housing and feeding quarters. They move if
And they protect their homes. Let 2 leaf-cuttlng ant
ants kill it. They also protect the plants against al otner
insects.
As a military alliance, what do you think OF this CON-
bnation between plants and antsf
The arrangement between the Jungle plants and the army
ants. You'll observe, is a $3.50 proposition. The plants give
free rent and get protection. The ants get the free rent ana
give the protection l,r
There is no sentiment about it. It's g1ve-and-take, dok
lar for dollar. No one gets any more than he pays for. Nor
does he paw for any more than he gets. It's a natural laW.
IA fair exchange is no robbery If we humans lived UP to
this natural law, getting a good living would be easier for an
of usMand the average standard OF living would pc higher
than it is in this day of trying to get something Tor nothing
Go to the ant, thou ~sluggard. Consider her ways and pc
wise.

A. Mr.. Herbert Putnam, who mas

@. Why is soiled clothing danger
Gus to it's wearer? P. ].
A.. The skin acts as a heat-regu-
lating apparatus through evapora-
ton of Precipitation, and thus re-
duces body heat. 1t also serves IN
some measure to eliminate the
waIes Of the body in the form Of
secretions. Precipitation and secre-
tions are absorbed by clothing. and
bits of dead skin are continually
being rubbed, off to find their way
into the meshes of the fabric. After
a time, the limit of absorption by
the clothing is reached; it's pores
become clogged. The clothing be-
gins to have a damp, sticky. oily
feeling. If it has been starched the
garment becomes limp. In this con-
dition, if clothing Is not actually
dirty it is at least unwholesome to
wear, for it prevents proper absorb
ton and evaporation OF moisture
from the body and thus actually in
creases its warmth in summer and
its cold in winter. 1t is a matter
of common experience to mothers
and nurses that the fretting OF q
small child may sometimes be due
to clothing that has become damp
and sticky with wear. A change TO
clean garments gives the needed re-
lief, by furnishing a fresh absorbing
surface. ,

ALLIES EXPECT

Cost of Keeping Force on
Rhine Will Be Met, Is
French Statement

PARIS, March 19. 1t was ofrI-
cially stated this afternoon that the
allied powers do not regard the
versailles treaty as giving them "a
first mortgage upon German indcm-
nifty payments and priority over
American claims"
The only question, Il was said. was
the method Of payment
Nobody dreams OF collecting tho
entire 10000, 100000 gold marks
before paying America for the
cost OF Keeping her army OF ocCu-
patton on the Rhine" the statement
added.
WASHINGTON, March 13 - Tho
apparent attitude OF the allied pow
ers that American can walt" for
the S24i0O0,00O owed us for keep
ing Amcrican-troops on the Rhine or
else proceed to collect It from the
impoverished Germany direct. was
officially characterized today as
utterly iudefensible from every
point OF view"
No legal or moral ground exists
on which the allies can question the
justice OF the validity OF the Ameri-
can demand for prompt payment. q
was stated by a high administration
spokesman. Accompanying this pos
tive declaration Of Americas posi-
ton was an indication that tho ad-
minlstration intends TO proceed Wig
orously In tho matter.
The state department was stlll
without official advices today con-
corning the action taken by the al
lied experts In referring the Ameri-
can demand to their respective gov
ernments. Just as soon. however, as
Roland w. Boydon. tho American
representative on the reparatlons
commission. forwards his official re-
port there is every indication that
the state department will file Il
sharp protest over the action taken.
