for the very best. Thus we have no
time TO train singers, who sometimes
require four weeks to master three
bars of music.
But 20 years from now. when every
large American city has its own
symphony and its own grand opera
company, then we may find great
American singers who have received
all of their training In this country.
And then. too, we may discover great
creative musical genius in this coun-

Wood Ants Are Active
From the Richmond Times dispatch.

The British wood ants build such
large houses that their homes seem to
be almost as big as some apartments
in American cities. The dwelling is
dome ped and IS much as . feet
in height Lest their beautiful homes
be destroyed by enemies. the ants take
stringent precautions when retiring
for the night. Sentinels are posted
all around the dome, ready to give
the alarm at the approach of an
enemy. The entrances are blocked
with great piles of twigs, So thai the
occupants cannot be surprised The
job OF cleaning away the twigs in the
morning Is a strenuous one, but the
ants do not mind it, as they believe
in safety first.
