Hermit Grab Uses
Wits to Foil Foes
And Find q Home

by THE help of his wits, the hermit
crab manages to lead a fairly
comfortable life. But he does need
wits, or some lowly substitute for
them, for the hermit crab would be
easy meat for his enemies were it not
that he is rather willy fellow, who
makes the best Of whatever oppor-
| tunities he finds.
One Of these opportunities Is offered
by the discarded shells Of sea snails.
Lacking any sort of substantial home
of his own, the hermit crab moves
into any empty shell he can find and
stays in the snug little stolen house
all the rest of his days. 1t is easier
than building his own house-though
the chance of finding one left vacant
by the death of the snail is always
something of risk.
But that isn't the only trick of the
hermit crab. The odd creature has
genius for friendship-or at least for
one kind Of friendship. He often
makes a lifelong bargain with the
sea anemone, an animal which looks
like a flower, but which is really a
poisonous deep-sea creature. The crab
invites the anemone to grow on top
of its borrowed shell house. And
sometimes it invites two or three or
more anemones to take up their
quarters there.
The arrangement is Of great adj
vantage to both the sea anemone and
the crab, as are many similar partner
ships in the animal world.
The anemone, which has little wav-
ing tentacles on top Of its long. hollow
body. gathers In bits of food which the
crab misses. And, being unable to
move about very quickly, it very much
prefers the free rides offered by the
hermit crabs borrowed shell to the
slow, unsatisfactory pace which it
manages by itself.
For the hermit crab, on the other
hand, the anemone is perfect cam
outage. No enemy would ever suspect
the presence of a delicious crab below
and the disguise more than pays for
the labor of carrying the anemone.
In fact, that the arrangement is
highly satisfactory to both crab and
anemone has often been proved by
putting the crab in the neighborhood
Of an anemone which Is attached to a
stone. Tne anemone soon Ycrsakes
tina stone IN favor Of the crab. And
when an anemone was taken from the
crabs house, the hermit crab picked it
up again and pressed 1t against his
stolen shelter with his two claws
until 1t was securely fastened once
lmore.

Attempted Sacrifice
An Unusual Base Ball Story
By W. BOYCE MORGAN

But two days later Buddy's father
was strangely silent when he returned
from work At dinner he announced
that Mr.. Hemstead had just given him
a salary increase of $25 dollars a
month.
"Hooray!" cried Buddy. Good for
you, dad" Then he paused and
peered at his father in surprise. "You
don't seem very pleased about it," he
said.
MR.. LONGS rather pale face bore
no trace of smile. I'm not"
he replied briefly.
But that's the second raise he's
given YOU in less than two months. I"
Buddy protested.
Mr.. Long nodded. Exactly" he
agreed. And both of them have
come after you've played a particu-
larry good game of base ball Under
stand, Buddy, I think it's fine for you
to play and all that. But, after all,
I'm paid for being an engineer for
the Hemstead Co. If my work JUS
titled an increase in salary I'd well
come it. But I'm not particularly
happy to be getting paid just for your
base ball ability"
But he knows you're worth more
than you've been getting on your own
hook, dad" Buddy insisted. 1T isn't
just because I play ball with the
Hawks"
"Oh, isn't it?" said Mr.. Long. well.
I didn't get many raises before you
started"
Buddy was thoughtful all through
the rest of the meal. He said little,
while his mother talked gayly to his
father about the salary increase. But
that evening he got off by himself and
considered the matter. He knew that
his father, conscientious and high
principled man, would be very sensi-
tive about taking favors from his en-
ployer unless he felt that he himself
had earned them. And Buddy real
lied that Mr. Longs ability on his
job would not be recognized If Mr.
Hemstead valued him merely as
Buddy's father.
Then the next day at work Buddy
overheard one Of the men in the
shipping room make remark that
sent the angry blood flooding into his
face.
Il hear Long. in the engineering
department, just got another raise
the man said Pretty soft, eh? It
doesn't matter around here If you're
no good yourself as long as you have a
kid who's a sweet little ball player!'

He becomes sensitive to failure and

BLANKET NEUTRAL
LAW COULD HURT

Disadvantage of United
States Abroad
Ey LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

New York. Jan. 2O.-Can a blanket
neutrality act work against the best
interests of the United States?
Yes-in certain instances. At least,
so says the Foreign Policy Associa-
tion which presents these interesting
views of two of it's observers, Allen
w. Dulles and Hamilton Fish Arm
strong:
"The American people may be
ready to accept sacrifices of trade
and profits where to continue trade
would be to risk war Certainly they
should be- But they would not long
tolerate a sweeping prohibition APP
piled indiscriminately in situations
where it's necessity was not obvious.
Many cases are conceivable in which
a blanket embargo. gripping to our
commerce and adding to unemploy-
ment, would not serve any directly
useful purpose. Often, too, it might
work injustice, as countries which
had armed themselves to the teeth
and which possessed raw materials
and industries would automatically be
given a decisive advantage over coun-
tries less well prepared and less we'll
endowed by nature
