STUDY OF CASE OF INSANE
 ANT RECORDED BY SWISS

ZURICH, Oct. P. (P)-The story of a demented ant is recorded in the ar. chives of Neurology and Psychiatry by Dr. Rudolph Brun, widely known nerve specialist.
 The ant was discovered in one of the artifically constructed nests for scientific observation. The insect ran about necessarily while others remain. ed quietly in the corners of the nest, apparently stunning the demented one. The momentum of the wildly rushing ant was such that it was un. able to stop when anything was en. countered.
 After six days the ant was dissected and, under a miscroscope, it was dis covered to have suffered a tumor in the left lobe of the brain, which had destroyed several of the most import. ant centers.

COURT
 DECIDE STATUS
 OF GAME POKER

MANILA, Oct. P. (P)-Meeting with 1 adverse results in the courts in the prosecution of persons arrested on | charges of playing poker, the constab- l ulary authorities have concluded that further raids on these games would l be useless expenditure of time and
 money until the question of whether poker is a game of skill or chance is decided by the Supreme Court. The courts of first instance have held that poker is a game of skill,
 while the attorney general has render
 ed an opinion that it is a game of
 chance and as such is punishable un- der the laws. Brigadier General Rafael Crane,
 chief of the constabulary, calling the
 attention of the secretary to the sub- ject says:
 Since the attorney general in his l opinion of several years ago held that
 poker was a game of chance and pun | ishable, instruction were given to the
 constabulary to apprehend and pros
 ecute all persons engaged in playing poker and these instructions are still in vogue. However, since judges
 have taken upon themselves to acquit
 persons playing poker, there is no need of the constabulary spending any
 time and money in raiding these poker games, if the men caught will be ac-
 quitted.".
 Steps have been taken to bring a
 case before the Supreme Court in or
 der that final decision on the sub-
 iect will be obtained.

WOMANS PLAN FOR WORLD GOOD WILL
 FAVORED JAPAN

BOSTON, Oct. P. (P)-A program for international good will devised by Boston woman in New York has ! been so favorably received in Japan that reports indicate concrete action on her plan is in prospect.
 | A little more than a year ago, when the Exclusion act was still ranking in many Japanese, Miss Jessie M. Sher- wood, former secretary of the Japan Society of Boston, who for years has held weekly soiree for Japanese students in Boston colleges, was ask ed to write an article for the Japanese American, a newspaper published in New York.
 She chose to advance and develop the idea of a religious conference, bas- ed on the common objects of Chris tians, Buddhists and Jews to attain a warless world. She dwelt on the part which religious difference has played in racial prejudice and saw in such conference an opportunity to dispel transformation and the relig- ions of other lands and bring a great CT public support to world peace.
 The article, or the idea it embodied, was copied widely and found promi- nent place in newspapers of Japan. Among the correspondents that Mrs. Sherwood acquired was Gendo Nakai, of Osaka, Buddhist priest He wrote her first that the Buddhists at the To- kio Peace Exposition had already es- poused a similar idea, that a group of priests had visited America to call to the attention of President Coolidge the community of ideals but that he feared that unless the United States took the lead, as with the disarma- ment conference, nothing would be done.
 Recently, however, he wrote again, saying that the first steps toward such a conference had been taken in To- kio by two quasi-religious organiza- tions, an extract from his letter fol- lows:
 Concerning the Religious Confer ence you so ardently propose, I am glad to let you know that recently two resolutions for holding a World Re- ligious Conference passed in two meet ings in Tokyo, almost independent of each other. The one in the mass meeting of Religious Talking Society, composed of we'll known professors, missionaries and priests. The other is in the meeting of professors and students of Religious Course of Nip pon University Ca private institution.)
 Tt is reported that both parties con- cerned will confer with each other to promote their common plan in coop eration. hope your proposal will be realized in the not far future"
