NATURE In AUTUMN

striped gentian, which is greenish white
striped with purple, a flower more pc

Autumn days and fine Autumn weather.
1t was a shock to me when / saw gem

eight varieties in as many minutes.

a little reflection. saw nothing to be

few in number, they are exceeding fair,
and I love them for their quiet, mys-
terious way of blooming in the Autumn
of the year.
Arrival for Winter.
! You will awake one of these Autumn
mornings to the sound of long, sweet,
nostalgia whistle blowing from the fields
where the sunburnt grass lies mellow

the babbling stage that begins at In

white throat sing, and there same
flooding back to my mind the sweetness
of Spring rains and all the vanished
flowers.
The white throat seems with his call
to be saying farewell, a long farewell
to all of Summer But, in sober truth
he is not on the point Of winging his

1t is astonishing what a melodiou'
voice is bottled up in such an lncon'

of song is the equal, for the minute ]

nightingale, which I have often heard

Ants and Crickets.

ANTS anu OIlCkCtSs
DERHAPS it is the merest fancy, but
it always seems to me that the
ancient and industrious order of ants
works itself into fury of activity in
Autumn. Perhaps they really do lay
up treasure for themselves as Winter
comes upon them. Perhaps, IN fact,
they make righteous remarks to the
crickets that spent their time in dane
ing. But l have always felt that there
was something untrue and mean in the
fable of the cricket and the ant; untrue
because the cricket, as species, seems
to be Just as numerous ana chlpper
next year as the ants; mean, because II
teaches a bad lesson = that when we
have money and goods we should sheer

AS between an ant and cricket, give
me a cricket any day. The cricket is
a singer, a poet, an artist, and he
brings good luck Nobody ever drew
much delight from an ant, that I have
ever heard of, and ants are clever
housebreakers and thieves.
Even the bees fear him. When ants
decide to steal honey they send an
army to raid the hives. The bees fight
back ferociously, and, If the f1rst ant
army is defeated, another and larger Is
dispatched. If the ants have suf-
fcient reserves, 50 bee men claim, they
will always win in the end.
These are arraignments of that fierce
and clever tribe Of the Hymenopsera
known as ants. In spite OF the damage
1 have Just done to their reputation,
secretly admire them.
While the butterflies have received
attention from amateur natural1Sts, the
ants have had more eminent profess
sional scientists devoted to chronicllne
their WAYS than all the other families
of insects. No one can watch ants IN
procession withou. becoming philosoph-
ical about them. Aristotle, and many
biblical figures. noticed their clever
ways. Modern writers have shown
that the organization of ant society Is
elaborate beyond all dreams.
Protection of Gentians.
The Wild Flower Protection Society
extends, 1 am happy to say, its benevo'
lent mantle over the Autumn queens
the gentians. It is, so far as l know
nothing but a moral protection. The
law is not behind it. Experience vii

moral protection is the best protection
The man who does not steal becaus'
he thinks it is wrong inspires more con

The necessity for protecting gentian
is not their rarity, for really there

school and study hours of quiet sitting.
And it also requires patience OF adults
to cope with the natural restlessness OF
the youngsters.
Too abrupt cessation from the former
continual out-of-doors sports will not
only make children irritable because OF
pent-up energy, but the sudden reaction

Unless this appreciated the children
suffer both nervously and physically.
The parents have to see that their
little folk enjoy systematic outdoor
activities. These are easy to have when
families live in small towns, in villages
or suburbs. 1t is the city child who
needs the most looking after. In the
semi-country of small places groups OF
children naturally get together after
school hours and play various games OF
ball and all sorts Of active games. For
older children sports, such as tennis,

Answer-The constant use of the car

with the condition of your hands, but
il you give them proper care you should
have no dificulty in overcoming this.
In order to make the skin on your
hands soft 1 would advise you to coat
them every night for several nights in
succession with a good oily food cream
and sleep with old gloves on. Cut the
palms and finger tips out of the gloves
to insure ventilation.
In addition to this treatment, make
a practice of using hand lotion after
each time you wash and dry your hands.
The following lotion is good one; Two
drains white gum tragacinth, six ounces
rose-water, 10 drops simple tincture OF
benzoin, one ounce glycerin, one-half
teaspoonful powdered borax. six table

The answer probably is that if and when the N. c. A. A. musters the executive power, equipment and voting strength, it probably will overthrow the A. A. U. or effect a compromise working agreement.
 Four years ago, the N. c. A. A. led by Palmer Pierce, Henry Breck- inridge and John Griffith, made a real fight for control of the Ameri- can Olympic association at Wash ington. They lost out when it came down to a matter of actual ballots. Whereupon they walked out on the meeting.
 Since then, however, new leaders more given to persuasion and con- ference than to political scrap pings, have gone to the front in each group. Much of the old spirit of warfare has waned. This year may witness mutual agreement in the Olympic unit whereby the col leges will have at least a voice in the affair-even if it is only one voice in a quartet.
 Had I rejected the title, I prob ably would have been in the lime light for three days and be then forgotten. Now the tension will con- tinue. until my next match and therefore will earn more money"
 Thus, according to the cable dis patches, reasoned Max Schmeling upon his return to Berlin. It adds another notch to Der Maxie's s record as a business man under the tutoring of Joe Jacobs, but if the German thinks any tension exists over the prospects of another heavy weight joust he may be disillusioned immediately and forthwith. Washington, long dominant on the waters of the Hudson. took it's setback at the hands of Cornell and "Old Man River" with the phil oscphy and good sportsmanship characteristic of the Huskies from the Northwest.
 "Alibi? Not on your life!" they chcrused, after the regatta, in making it plain that Washington, far from having any complaints, will be back stronger than ever next June for the races.
 Meanwhile, keep your eye on our football team" re m ar k Id Earl Campbell, graduate manager of the Husky athletic organization. Jim my Phelan has made a big hit in taking hold of the gridiron outfit. We may not win any champion ships this year but I believe we are on the right track.

One of the questions that came up in a recent debate I had with the sage of South Bend, Knute Rockne, was this:
 Why shouldn't the colleges of the U. s. A., while furnishing fully 90 per cent of the track and field talent, and at least 75 per cent of the rest of the competing forces in the Olympic games, also take charge outright of the American Olympic organization?
 Rockne, in common with vast group of college leaders, believes times have changed sufficiently to warrant a new Olympic deal, with the A. A. U. removed from the con- trolling position it long has held, replaced by some such grouping as the National Collegiate A. A.
