Toys a Necessify

Our educators and doctors nave
learned that play builds character.
These ideas have been passed on to
parents. AS result intelligent par
ents today consider play a normal
and necessary part Of child's devel-
opment and education.
Toys, then. are more and more be-
coming necessities. instead Of pure
luxuries.
At the present time the toy business
amounts to about $2OO.O00,OO0 year,
says the Good Hardware Magazine
business much larger than many lines
Of staple commodities.
While the big selling season for toys
is still in the months of November
and December, yet toys now sell ali

order is not sooner revoked in whole

1t will be noted that in accordance
with this order, the gross weight of
vehicle and load combined depends
on the tire equipment of the vehicle.
This order supersedes the order
made earlier this year, whereunder
the gross weight of vehicle and load
was limited to three tons regardless
of tire equipment and during the
period the roads are closed against
heavy traffic.
The new order issued by the Com
mission is in line with the commits
sion's attitude of allowing the full
est possible use of the highways,
and is more in line with similar
orders issued by other state high
way departments.

Do Insects Think?

DR.. H. B. Pierson, state entomolo-
gist, who has been making an extern
sive study of the depredations
wrought in various parts of the state
by mound-building ants, comments
on a remarkable instance of the in
telligence displayed by these tiny In
sects.
"The old scientific query, DO in
sects reason?' is we'll answered by
the following actions Of the mound
building ants, observed while en-
deavoring to determine the best
methods of destroying the destruc-
tive little insects" says DR.. Plerson.
zone of their huge mounds, con-
tanning thousands of nests and mil
lions of ants, was observed in 1alr-
ly open space, evidently having been
built there to avoid the shade OF
nearby trees. The eggs of the ant
require warmth for incubation, and
the suns rays, shining down on
the sand of which the mounds are
constructed, soon heat the MOUNDS
we'll into the inside areas. we
found that one big tree branch Wnlcn
grew out over this mound, and
which when covered with leaves,
cast a shadow over a portion or the
mound, had been entirely denuded
of it's leaves by the workers OF the
ant colony, with the evident purpose
in view of allowing the suns rays to
again reach the mound
Many other instances Of the sagac-
ity of the ants are given by DR..
Pierson, who has delved deeply into
the subject of ant habits and char
acteristics as evidenced in Maine.

Conant stove was cast, and In a brief
period the fireplace, with its swinging

John Conant Of Brandon. Vt Its cast

Today there remains apparently no
