Animals and Insects
Prepare for Winter

Ants, bees. wasps, flies and many
other Insects protect themselves dur
ing the winter by securing food sup
plies and constructing retreats.
The wonderful work done by ants,
bees, wasps, spiders, butterflies and
worms has been studied by many nat
uralists and researches have been
charmingly described 'by Lubbock,
Fabre, Maeterlinck and other able
writer's. The underground apartments
and terraced homes of the ants, their
domestic life, social organization and
thoughtfulness, are among the great
wonders of nature.
These extraordinarily intelligent in
sects not only store away an abun-
dance of food for winter, but also they
provide aphides to be MIXED and they
cultivate fungi gardens and manufac-
ture many food substances while pass
ing the winter months underground.
Genius, individuality and temper
ament In animals enable them to solve
all the problems Of winter which they
may at any time encounter. These
vary in individuals of the same spe-
cies. Among any group of young ami
mails or birds or insects you may no
tice individuals varying in fear, timid-
fly, curiosity, suspicion, sociabllity,
aggressiveness and initiative. Hardly
two will be found with similar charac-
tiers and temperaments. They differ
as widely as the members Of a single
human family. The strong and fear
less members Of any species give the
leadership and develop the customs
which enable them to meet the condl-
lions of winter.

GreRorion Calendar

The present calendar was adopted In
the Sixteenth century, the Julian or
old Roman calendar having become
greatly erroneous. Luigi Lilas Ghiraldl,
frequently called Aloysuis Lilues,
physician, of verone, projected plan
for amending the Julian calendar,
which, after his death was presented
by his brother to Pope Gregory XIII.
To carry 1t into execution, the Pope
assembled a number of prelates and
learned men. In 1877 the proposed
change was adopted by all the Catholic
princes, and In 1882 Gregory issued a
brief abolishing the Julian calendar In
all Catholic countries, and introducing
in its stead the one now in use, under
the name of the Gregorian or reformed
calendar, or the new STYLE" as the
other was now called the "old style"
The Gregorian calendar was not
adopted in England until 1852.

Playing Cards Known
Since Enrliesf Ages

Doctor LIE Cour, delving in Cartha-
genian ruins, says the ancients had
play similar to our card game. They
used small tablets on which were
painted figures. There Is also men
ton in one of st. Augustine's works
of cards that are used for gambling.
Still the playing cards we now use
were invented in the Fourteenth cen
fury by French painter named ia
ques Gringonneur. 1t is said that he
invented them to amuse the mad King
Charles VI of France. The kings were
David, Alexander, Caesar and Charles
the queens were Argine, Esther, Ju-
dlth and Pallas the four knights, now
called knaves and vulgarly Jacks"
were Ogier the Dane, Lancelot, La
Hire and Hector de Garland, knights
of old romance. The Cardmakers'
company was incorporated in 1929,
and as early as the reign Of James !
cards were taxed. Probably the first
game played in England was called
trump" All the most important his
torical events have been at one time
or another depicted on playing cards,
and some of the packs are very rare
and valuable-Pierre Van Paassen, In
the Atlanta Constitution.

Birds and Mankind
of Long Association

The association between certain
birds and man is immensely ancient,
says the London Times. AS with
sheep and oxen and horses, and even
more with the dog, the attempt to as
sign date to the origin of our farm
yard birds is foiled by the mists Of
antiquity.
The scanty company of farmyard
species has been recruited in very diff
ferent ages. The turkey could not
Join US until we discovered America,
and probably far the Oldest is the
rOck-pigeOn. When man learned how
to grow grain, the dove found a new
attraction in his company.
When man became a builder in
stone, he built also for the swallows
and doves The swallow finds a
home today in the cowsheds that
mimic his ancient caves, while the
hOuse-pigeon, like the housemartin,
clings to the outside Of mans mimic
rock faces and builds its nests on his
triumphsl arches and against his ca
thedrals.

Blood Analysis Helps
Doctor in Diagnosis

The doctor who used to feel his
patients pulse or gaze into a gaping
mouth to determine the cause Of Ill
ness nowadays takes a drop of blood
to analyze The guilt for much of
human suffering has been traced to
the germs, tiny but deadly, which
force their entrance into the human
body, and which can only be detected
by such analysis.
Blood tests provide US with clews
to an ever-growing number of all
ments," said doctor to the writer.
ut is being found, for instance, that
eye complaints are often due to the
absorption of germs which have af-
fected other parts of the body, such
as the tonsils. We can often detect
them by testing th1 blood.
MANY cases of illness are due to
something taken in from without
usually microscopic germs. More and
more Of these germs are becoming
known to us every day. There is
reason to believe that the origins of
other diseases which are still un-
known may be found in the same
cause"

Italy Guards Antiques

In Italy one of the most serious
crimes is the stealing or unauthorized
excavation of antiquities. The gov
eminent claims as its property all OBJ

terest over 100 years old, and permits
for their expectation are obtained
only rarely and with difficulty.
Rights to excavate or even to study
while excavations are proceeding are
rarely granted to foreign students.
The other day some archaeological
pickpockets who removed some an

that were being excavated near Co

The tone Of society is the result, not
so much Of the deliberate attempt of
the members of 1t to influence each
other, as of the unconscious action and
reaction Of their characters. Nor can
anyone easily measure how great his
own contribution has been to the good
or evil spirit that prevails around him,
or how, by casual deeds or actions, or
even looks, he may have Influenced
the lives of others. We do not carry
on our warfare at our own charges,

and the whole force of the good that is

Men of Great Strength

II is difficult to compare strong
men. Each has his own special tests,
at which he is superior to the rest. A
recent newspaper article stated that
unquestionably the strongest man Of
modern times was Louis Cyr of Can
ada, who was considerably stronger
than SandOw. Breitbart, who died in
October. 1925, Is said to have come
nearer emulating Sandow than any of
the latter's many imitators Certain
strong men excelled Sandow In specific
feats. For instance, Arthur Saxon
was the best litter of weights ever
produced. Steinbach, Inch, Ashton,
Travis, Rolandow and Zurich each had
some unusual performance to his
credit.

Six Sections of Golden
State Will Be Run Over
Southern S. P. Lines Soon

Tt is expected that six sections of
the Golden State limited will be oper-
ated over the southern lines of the
Southern Pacific starting May %,
when the special excursion summer
rates eastward go into effect, accord
ing to information received by rail-
road officials.
The reservations along the South
ern Pacific in the west at various
points are already said to demand the
running of the Golden State limited
in six sections at least for the first
few days after the rates go into cf-
feet. Most of the travel will be due
to the hundreds of eastern and mid
dle-Western residents returning home
after passing the winter in California,
it is stated. The special rates in the
spring affect those returning to the
east after spending the winter on the
Pacific coast while the special rates
in the fall of each year are for the
benefit ofN those going to California
for the winter.
The Santa Fe is expected to run
about 10 trains on their lines on the
first day the summer excursion rates
are in effect while the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe and the Union
Pacific have announced that they will
handle 81 and possibly. more trains
starting on May %.

Forest Service Reports
Wide Observance of The
American Forestry Week

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, May 13.-
The forest service, from chief forester
to district ranger and all the national
and state American Forest Week COM
mitteemen, with their more than one
hundred affiliated organizations re-
port the widest observance of Amer
lean forest week which has ever been
held states District Forester Frank
c. w. Pooler.
The Washington office distributed
100000 pieces of literature, includ~
ing envelope suffers, book marks.
posters and printed pamphlets, or
about three times as much as in 1925.
Reports from IA southwestern for
ests, continued Mr.. PooIer, indicate
that nearly q million people have been
reached, nearly twice as many as, last
year. A special effort was made this
year by all agencies to reach the pub
lie schools. Fire prevention hand
books were mailed to all the principal
schools in Arizona and New Mexico.
1t is believed that the public schools
offer one of the best opportunities for
the teaching of forest fire prevention.
The results of these educational eff
forts during the past three years are
shown by the very pronounced re-
duction in forest fires or human ori-
gin in the southwest from SO to rs
per cent
A number of articles also appeared
in local newspapers of botht states
and splendid cooperation was given
by the press in calling attention to
the Importance of forestry, particu~
larly fire prevention, by news stories
and strong editorials
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-05-14
Special motion picture films on for

Special motion picture films on for
estry subjects and colored lantern
slides were also used to carry graphi-
cally the message of timber conserva.
tion to the public. number of for.
estry pamphlets, posters and book
marks were circulated to- commercial,
civic, luncheon and womans clubs with
the request that they devote part
of their program during the week to
the discussion of forestry matters.
The fact that most of the forest
fires in the southwest are caused by
people living within or near the for
est makes it particularly important to
present through the schools and other
organizations the need for care with
fire in the forests, during the dry
season.
There is no agency states Mr.. Pool
er, that is more important in keeping
the number of forest fires down to
the minimum than an appreciation by
the. local people of the value of the
forests and their danger from fire.
