Places Animals on Much

DR.. William L. Hornaday Of the New

is this: IF every man devoted to his
affairs, and to the affairs OF his city
and state, the same industry that
every warm-blooded wild animal de-
votes to its affairs, the people OF this
world would abound in good health,
prosperity, peace and happiness"
And the second Is: Many men are
both morally and intellectually lower
than many quadrupeds. and are In my
opinion rs destitute OF that indefinable
attribute called soul as all the lower
animals commonly are supposed to
be"

pcrience with them. The chimpanZee

Trees Infected With
Gypsy Moth Destroyed

Federal and state inspectors of the
federal horticultural board recently
discovered the shipment Of 10 or Is
consignments Of gypsy moth infested
conifers from quarantined New Eng
land into Pennsylvania and New York.
The trees were found, however, and
were destroyed before this insect could
establish itself in the new territory
The gypsy moth has been responsible
for a great deal Of damage through the
southern part OF the New England
states, and its spread TO other regions
would be Il calamity OF nationwide i'm
pOrtanCe. In general New England
nurserymen are cooperating loyalty
with the government in maintaining
the very necessary strict quarantine OF
the infested district.

nothing further come to invite his no

came from somewhere upstairs the
roar OF gun, and, when he heard
that, Sans rigid limbs relaxed and a
violent activity descended upon him.
He bounded out into the nall, looking
| to right and to left for hiding place.
One OF the suits OF armOr which had
been familiar to him In his boyhood
loomed up In front Of him, and with
when mere child on his first visit to
Windes. playing hide and seek with
his cousin, Eustace, he had concealed
himself inside this very suit and had
not only baffled Eustace through a
long summer evening but had wound
up by almost soaring him into de-
cline by booing at him through the
vlzor OF the helmet. Happy days, hap
py days! He leaped at the suit Of
armor. The helmet was tight fit,
but he managed to get his head into
1t at last, and the body OF the thing
was quite roomy.
Thank heaven! ~ said Sam.
He was not comfortable, but comfort
just then was not his primary need.
