ANIMALS Hoard
Winter Stocks

the ants are very fond. 1t Is an
interesting fact that the use of molds
reminding us of mans mushroom
beds-is practiced by a number of
quite unrelated animals-namely, GER
tain ants, termites, beetles and mites.
Among backboned animals it Is diff
ficult to find convincing instances of
storing until we come to birds and
mammals. Apart from the numerous
birds that store food in their crops,
sometimes SO exuberantly that they
can not fly, there are some that may
be said to lay up nutritive savings
out side of themselves.
In the burrow of the hamster
several store chambers are made and
grain as well as hay is accumulated
In considerable quantity. The little
snow mouse that thrives all the year
round at high altitude on the Alps
makes stores of chopped grass and
gentian roots. There are many other
examples of storing, but these ex-
amples show that the thrifty habit
has taken firm hold in many different
corners of the animal kingdom.

torious Band of Fashionable
Berlin Robbers.

Every Step of Police Investigation Of
Gang Results in Fresh Sensa-

Berlin.-White slave traffic, the
morphia habit and the practice Of
blackmail were joined to theft, fraud
and kleptomania in the "Danse Maca-
bre'' of the band of Berlin shoplifters
led by "Dashing Dora"
Every step of the police investiga-

Several members of the band plead
that they are addicted to the drug
habit and are not responsible for their
acts Mrs Forester, one of Dora's
"dashing'' daughters, is in the hospital
suffering from morphia poison. Her
husband was arrested as he was in
the act of concealing stolen property
valued at several thousand pounds.

been released from custody in order
that she may go to her sick child,
but not before she had confessed to
the police that for years she has been
white slave for her husband, Frank
Morvilius, who is director of the Ger

at Charlottenberg police station has
received considerable addition.

The bank accounts of the gang,
which amount to many thousands Of
pounds, have been confiscated
Morvilius has pleaded that his
mother-in-law is the victim of KEEP

1t has been alleged against Morvil-

in order to avoid arrest.
Members of the gang, who were
caught with 100000 worth of stolen
goods in their possession, have ter
rorized the largest Berlin luxury
