Dakota Sport Classic

Arrangements were being made to-
day to take Bismarck fans by train
to the state basketball tournament in
Mandan Friday and Saturday.
j. G. Gould, state high school bas-
ketball league official who is handling
Mandan arrangements for the state
classic, said this morning that flood
waters from the Heart river on the
Bismarck Mandan memorial highway
had reached ar even higher level than
that of the first flood last month and
that automobile traffic between the
two cities apparently will be paralyz-
ed over the weekend.
Tourney Gymnasium High
The state training school, where the
tournament will be conducted, was
high and dry" this morning, how
ever. Excess water from the Heart
has found its way to the lowlands be-
tween Mandan and the Missouri river
and left the city dry. Water has ris-
en- much faster south and east of
Mandan than it has north and west,
and, a a result, the road from Man.
dan to the state training school Is
safe from being flooded. w. F. Nc
Clelland, superintendent of the state
institution, even predicted that the
schools sprinkling wagons will be
called out this weekend to settle dust
on the road.
Transportation from Mandan to
Bismarck following the tournament
programs apparently Is the biggest
problem facing managers Of the meet,
as 1t will be comparatively easy to get
all Of the fans to Mandan for the
contests.

senate's daily tariff wrangle.
The question at issue was whether
the provisions of existing law giving

to be continued under the tariff bill.
Senator Cutting. Republican, New

vigorous campaign for the revocation
of the authority now given the GUS

resembling this power when the tariff
bill was before the senate in commit

keep the senate from reversing its
previous action.

Smoot, the chairman Of the finance
committee, in charge Of the tariff bill,

He had obtained the stack of books
from the customs service and hailed

would pour into the country should
the customs censorship be removed.

the committee chairman, this an

CRABS WITH TRAITS
OF HUMANS FOUND
Australian Brings Collection
to Museum, With Some
That Wear Clothes.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Grabs that wear clothes, others that
carry arms, and still others that march
in vast numbers like soldiers are among
the curiositieS of cruStacean life just
brought to the National Museum here
by DIR. Melbourne Ward, F. z. S., Aus
tralian zoologist who found them on
the Great Barrier coral reef of the
Australian coast.
Among the most curious is a tiny
crustacean which forces the coral polyp
to build a limestone palace for its
abode. The female of this species, DR..
Ward explains, lodges on the coral
when in a larval state and causes an
irritation which leads the host animal
to build up the limestone walls. The
resulting house is just large enough for
the crab to move about in comfortably.
There is always door through which
she obtains food.
Another species merely sits on the
end of a coral sprout, which, growing
outward, makes long, circular burrow
for. the animal. Through this 1t can
move backwards and forwards at will.
The forward part of its body is in
closed in hard shell of the eact color
of the coral, so that when it sits at the
door of its burrow to obtain food it is
impossible to distinguish it. 1t COM
plefely closes the entrance to the
burrow.
Armed Like Humans.
But the most curious of all is the
crab which carries tive sea anemones,
one in each hand" wherever it goes
In its first few months of life it seizes
these anemoneS-alSo living animals
with stalks and discs like flowers, and
which ordinarily are attached to rocks
under the water-about the middles of
their stalks and thenceforth sallies
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-12-18
forth like a person carrying two UNI

forth like q person carrying two UNI
brellaS.
The most logical explanation of this
behavior, Ward says, Is that the anem-
ones serve as weapons, killing or par
alyzing small sea animals which come
In contact with them. These then
serve the crab as food. The species
of anemone has singing cells in its
disc These curious weapons are car
ried by the crab continuously and seem
essential to its life. When one of them
is taken away the animal moves au-
tomatically to grab it again. When a
crab is killed slowly in alcohol 1t clings
to its weapons even in its death
struggles.
Then there are the spider crabs,
which cut and wear clothes. They have
tiny hairs protruding through their
shells. They cut sections of living
sponges and place them on their backs.
The sponge becomes entangled in the
hairs and continues to grow so that 1T
protrudes for several inches over the
back. Thin layers also cover the under
parts of the body and the legs. A
closely related species cuts sections OF
Sponges and carries them with its hind
legs so that they cover its body. Every
time the crab sheds its shell 1t must
make itself a new suit
Help to Both Animals.
This practice. Ward explains, prob
ably is beneficial to both animals. The
crab, living in forest of sponges, looks
like a sponge itself, and thus is pro-
tected from its enemies. The sponge
benefits by being carried to new food
sources. When the shell is shed the
sponge simply attaches itself to a rock
and continues growing.
One of the most remarkable cases of
commensaliSm yet found in nature was
described by Ward in the case of a
degenerate type of barnacle which
makes it's way through the thin shell
of one of the Barrier Reef crabs where
a hair comes through. It wanders
through the blood stream of the crab
and finally comes to the surface, form
ing a little sac for itself. Here it Is
metamorphoSed into another form and
sends along thread-like shoots into
every part of the crabs body, except
the vital organs, which it encircles
without penetrating. In some respects
it is like a cancer among higher ami
mails, except that in this case the Can
cer'' is an individual animal of an
other species. Thus it lives off the
food eaten by the crab, but never kills
nor apparently seriously injuries its
host. The one notable effect, for which
no explanation is offered, Is that 1t

changes the male crab into a female
in every respect.
The soldier crabs described by Ward
are beach jewellers, about 2 inches long.
including their legs. They march
over the hard sand in perfect order,
apparently as if they were under the
control of leaders, although this has
not been aScertained. When ap-
preached they burrow rapidly in
waves" like regiment of infantry,
first the front rank and then in order
completely in very short time.
Attacked by Fish.
Ward found that the soldier crabs"
could hardly be driven into the water.
When he succeeded in pushing few of
them of the shore, they were set upon
by a ferociouS variety of small fish,
which rapidly devoured them. Realiza-
ton of this danger apparently is in
stinctive in the animal.
Some of the handwriting crabs of
the mud flats, he found, dig very in
tricate burrows with labyrinthine cross
and side galleries Some species live q
communal life. Each crab has his own
burrow, but each has a passage leading
into q large, central hall which seems
to be community gathering place.
Others are intensely individualistic.
Each crab builds an elaborate labyrinth
under the mud, considers it his own
home and vigorously defends 1t.
He made many observations of the
courtship of the woodworking crabs,
some species of which have dances re-
sembling the love dances of birds. The
females usually are smaller than the
males. The male of one variety, after
having won 8 mate bV the attraction of
his dancing, picks her up bodily in one
of his nipperS and carries her away.
Another variety Of sand crab, Ward
relates, seems to have perfected an en-
cheering technique which still evades
human skill-that Of building a burrow
in soft, dry sand. These burrows are
about 2 inches in diameter. The crab
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-12-18

scoops out the place with its broad nip.
per and then, by some peculiar trick OF
precision, congresses the dry SAND into
a stable pellet with its nipper and hind
leg and throws it outside the front of
the burrow. This trick would be inn
possible for a man.
Ward is in Washington comparing his
collection with those in the National
Museum and identifying species where
possible. The crabs obtained from the
Barrier Reef contain several species
which hitherto have been unknown to
science.
The curious behavior Of these crea-
lures, he explains, approaches IN some
ways that of certain insect varieties OF
which they are close relatives, and is
not to be considered as the outcome Of
any reflection on the part of individuals.

The stylemakers are groping about for a catch-phrase that will overcome women's prejudice against the word trousers, which is asso- ciated in their minds with mascu- Unity that is out of style.
 Psychologists of the Rue de la PaiX's leading industry maintain that women will refuse to bifurcare daytime skirts as long as the result is trousers.
 Styles have led the trouser vogue right up to the point where women wear 'em for everything except on the street. Further than that they dare not go just at present, and the dressmakers think the reason $ the word trousers.
 French journalists are doing their best to help out the couturiers. One O the suggestions for a new word is "jualon," a combination of French words for skirt and trousers.
 DreSsmakers have had slight sue cess with the jupe-culotte, or trouser skirt, which many have shown for several seasons.
 P9jamas have gone much better.
 The reason, dressmakers believe, is the absence of the fatal trousor idea Pajamas are identified with charm in the feminine mind,
