nee under any circumstances.

CATHOLICS TO DEFY

MEXICO CITY, June ga new
law restricting priests in the state of
We're, Cruz is to be ignored by the
Catholic church. Archbishop Ruiz v
Flores, apostolic delegate, contends that
the law is unconstitutional.
If priests are elected from their
churches by state authorities in accord
ance with the provisions of the meas
ure, he said, they are authorized to hold
masses in secret. The bishops will not
appoint the IL priests allowed by the
law, and If the government appoints
them the bishops will withhold their
sanction.
See Some Remedy.
'I believe there will be some rem
edy," he said, "but don't know what
it will be. When state passes a law,
1t is difficult for the federal government
to prevent its enforcement"
Dispatches from Vera Cruz said
group of about 20 men and women
staged a street manifestation against
the church and went to the District
Court, where they demanded that in
functions concerning the law be not
granted to priests. They were told to
submit their request to civil authori-
ties.
Other Demonstrations.
Several hundred agrarians in ORR

in the measure on the grounds that
they would be prevented from attend
ing mass. Similar demonstrations for

Ants That Own Slaves
Rare HmpdgoxenMs, Found in District IS Years
Ago, Rediscoyered by Zoo Director
1T Glen Echo.

A strange variety of slave-holding ant,
first discovered in the District of Column
bia IS years ago and never seen here
since, has just been found again near
Glen Echo, Nd, by DR.. William M.
Mann, director of the Zoo, and DR..
william M. Wheeler of Harvard Uni
verSity.
This insect is known as the harpa-
goxenus, an American representative of
the degenerate slave makers" It is
small black ant which raids the nests
of smaller and more pacific variety,
carries away its pupae, tends them until
they fully develop, and then makes
slaves of them.
DIR. Mann, who has made an inten-
sive study of ants here for the past Is
years, was unable to find them until he
and DR.. Wheeler ran upon a nest in q
hollow twig. In the immediate neigh
borhood they found several other nests.
Doubtless the insects have been around
Washington all the time, DR.. Mann
says, but are so hidden and inconspicu-
Gus that they can be found only by
rare accident.
Other Varieties Warriors.
Since the original discovery here the
existence Of the insect has been con-
AnulC0 0y 4l11u4A1S q lew A1coOS III JULIET
parts of the country. The harpagox-
enus, DR.. Mann pointed out, Is of eSpe-
cial interest to entomologists, because 1t
represents condition of increasing de-
generacy, due to living for countless
generations off the labor of its captured
slaves. other types of slaye-holding
ants devote all their efforts to fighting,
maintain an efficient military organ
ization," and are ready to go to war at
any moment.
But the harpagoxenuS has lost most
of this spirit. It is not soldier" and
fights only during a raid on a nest of
its victims, who often put up a hard
fight to save the pupae from capture.
Sometimes a harpagoxenuS will raid the
nest of the other ants, kill or drive away
the queen and the workers, and take
possession OF all the pupae. These ap-
parently take kindly to captivity, once
they have evolved into full-grown ants,
and go about their imposed duties with
no signs of resistance. They will even
help their masters make other raids on
their own relatives.
The leptoth ants which are raided,
DR.. Mann said, appear to be quite COM
mon. They nest in hollow twigS or
under bark. The harpagoXenus ants
live in a nest the greater part of whose
inhabitants are their slaves.
Hard Taskmaster.
Except when on a raid, the harpa-
goxenuS spends its time just laying
around" It rouses itself only to de-
mand food from the slaves. 1t is a
hard taskmaster. The slaves, DR.. Mann
says, spend much of their time licking
the bodies Of their lethargic masters.

The harpagoxeni, 1t is explained, are
born to life of luxury. Before a fe-
male is ready to lay her own eggs she
enters leptothorax nest, kills off the
older ants, and forces those just emerg-
ing from the pupae state to attend to
her own newborn. Masters and slaves
are brought up together. But now and
then a spirit. of adventure stirs in the
blood OF the YOUNG harpagoxeni and
hey go off on raids of TIER own to
secure more slaves. These often result
diSaStrously.
With the rediscovery Of these ants
here, DR.. Mann believes, many of the
mixed nests will be found by persons
on the lookout for them.
