"A gether more enterprising lot than
a community Of ants would be hard TO
find, even among human beings.
Unless one knew better, one might
say ants were kindly, generous and
hospitable. But watching them
closely. we are obliged to conclude
that they are, after all, only efficient
business men who arrange to be well
paid for their services,
Take their attitude toward plant
lice. or aphids. for instance.
They not only offer these little
aphids their hospitality and wait upon
them hand and foot: they actually
carry them from one green pasture to
another And with infinite patience
they stroke the little aphids gently
with their antennae.
Why so much generosity. one Won
ders, in harsh world where each
creature is fercely bent on living at
any price? The answer is simple.
The friendship and service OF the ants
is pure self Interest. In return for
it. the little aphids give the ants a
honeyed milk called honey dew"
which they prize as the choicest of
foods.
In their generosity towards the
mites, also, the ants have the better OF
the bargain in the end. In payment
for their keep" the mites become the
housecleaners of the ant colony. They

World Owes
A Debt to
Fossils
Ancient Relics
Yield Modern
Comforts

N OLD fossil, that"
"A You've heard people say It
scornfully of any old fellow, years be-
hind the times.
But people who know about fossils,
value them too highly to speak Of them
scornfully.
True, they are old, but to say that
they are useless would be to forget that
to them we owe our amber and our
diamonds, not to mention those less
beautiful but more useful things of
modern life-coal, kerosene and gaso-
line
Besides, the fossils give those lux
urious colors made by our best dyes,
and the perfumes priced by women.
So, practically speaking, fossils are
very up-to-the-minute parts of our
daily lives.
Perhaps you are wondering what
these sources of our many blessings
really are. Fossils are pieces of very
ancient animals and plants which
have been preserved for us in the
rocks.
Sometimes, the plants and animals
are actually changed into stone.
Sometimes oil is taken from their
bodies by heat and pressure, and
sometimes they are preserved for us
only as impressions or pictures in the
rock.
Coal is made of the stems and limbs
OF ancient tree ferns and tree moses,
dead these millions of years.
Amber Is the preserved gum Of trees
in which insects of many kinds were
trapped ages ago, and kept so perfectly
that often the tiniest wings are still
plainly visible today.
And the oil which is 80 important
commercially today. was made count
less centuries ago from the bodies Of
sea animals and the wood of plants
which men have never seen. cooked by
the heat and pressure Of tons of rock
weighing upon them for ages.
The limestone from which the very
pyramids Of Egypt we're built, was
made first by little sea creatures. too
small to be seen with the naked eye,
who made their shells OF the lime in
the sea water. Long after the crea-
lures themselves died, their shells were
kept as fossils which piled mountains
deep on the ocean floor These shells,
having been changed into stone
through the centuries. we're later
thrust up by convulsions OF the earth,
into limestone which the slaves of the
Pharaohs hewed into blocks for the
pyramids.
Today. We use the same limestone to
build beautiful houses and churches.

are excellent scavengers and no refuse
is too terrible to attract them. A very
useful quality, from the clean little
ants point of view.
There is, however, noticeable
hostility between rival ant colonies,
and wandering relatives who stray
into a colony not their own. are not
welcomed by the residents. They are
looked at sharply as competitors, not
visitors, and left in an unfriendly
world, when they are not actually
attacked.
Besides being rather civilized, ants
are lucky enough to be among the
hardest of creatures. You can feed
them deadly poison and they will
survive it. You can hold them under
water for "a hours at time and they
recover when they are brought back
into the air. You can chop off their
heads and they go right on working
for month afterward.
All this has been proved by actual
experiments. Ants can be frozen stiff
or heated to 1907 Fahrenheit and they
will survive. They can be starved for
several months, and they can lose
their wings and other useful portions
Of their bodies; and they live On to
build their colonies ali over the world,
In any soil and In any climate.

demonstrated last week when they
brought samples of their doll collec-
tions to a school assembly devoted to
hobbies.
Lined about the shelf Of a long
blackboard, the dolls-from Italy, Po-
land, Ireland. England. China, Japan,
Russia. Latvia and many other coun-
tries-made gay, colorful picture.
And even the boys looked interested as
the young owners took them one by
one and explained how their costumes
were typical of the dress worn in the
various countries represented.
You learn lot about geography
from collection of foreign dolls" one
of the eight declared afterward when
she was showing her exhibit.
And about history, too, sometimes"
another joined in.
And you can play with theml I
love to play with my dolls, third lit
tie girl exclaimed.
But the best thing I like about
them-foreign dolls. / mean-is that
they make me think of the kinds of
toys other children in other countries
play with" fourth declared.
So it's easy to see how a collection Of
dolls makes well-rounded hobby.
MOREOVER, children are not the
" only people who collect dolls.
Many women have very fine collec-
tions. and some of them were started
when they we're young.
Too, doll collecting may lead to a
more elaborate hobby. as in the case
of the s435,000 doll house built sew
eral years ago by Colleen Moore. the
moving picture actress. This was
shown in Washington in 1885. and
hundreds gasped at the veritable fairy
land castle which was filled with price
less furnishings Miss Moore had col
lected for years.
Dolls by the way, are not feature
of modern civilization. In fact, dolls
are aomng the oldest Of human insti-
tutions. Savage children have their

toy dolls, just as American children
do-only much ingenuity is required
to make the little figures from rough
materials such as stones and sticks.
whereas most young Americans get
their dolls from highly specialized
manufacturers. That dolls existed
many years ago is attested by the
excavations scientists have made from
Egyptian, Greek and Roman remains.
GETTING back to doll collections,
though, it is now possible to
purchase dolls dressed in foreign cos
TUNES from almost all toy shops. If
you are interested in taking up this
hobby, it's a good idea to put re-
quest for them at the top of the list
OF gifts you hope to get at Christmas
and on birthdays And if you are
lucky enough to have the opportunity
to travel, or if you have friends who
travel, remember that dolls make the
very best sort Of souvenirs Of trip.

T TITLE shells and big shells. Pretty

T TITLE shells and big shells. Pretty
- shells and shells not so pretty.
Shells from Delaware, from Florida
and from other points on the Atlantic
Coast.
These make up the fascinating COL
lection of Bevan Allen, 6, OF 3ll4 Dunn
barton avenue, who, for the past two
years, has been building up an exhibit
through which he's learning much
about sea life.
Some Of his items have been gifts
from friends, such as the strange
specimens an aunt sent from Florida.
Others Bevan collected on vacation
trip to Bethany Beach, Del, where he
first became interested in this absorb
ing hobby.
But the shell Bevan prefers to all
others come, oddly enough, not from
beach, but from high cliff overlook
ing Yorktown, Va. And. after finding
it, Bevan learned little geology he'd
never known before.
II couldn't imagine how 1t got
there" he declared in exhibiting the
large black shell he'd brought home
with him. But 1 found lots of them,
and they are all thousands and thou
sands of years old"
Bevan is quite right.
His shell is that old, in all likelihoodf
much older.
Long ago the land where Yorktown
now stands was covered by the sea.
Shells were deposited along its shore.
Gradually the shore, with its shells,
sank under water. Mud and sand col
lected on top of the shells. Long after
that the land was raised from out the
water. Streams and rivers cut their
way through it and once more the
shells were exposed to the sunshine.
Now they may be gathered from that
old. old beach which has become part
of the cliffs overlooking Yorktown.
But this bit of information Is not
the only history Bevan remembers
when he looks at his shells.
1t was at Yorktown, you recall. that
the last great battle of the Revolution
was IOuRnt III tol. llClC tiiC hiiSA
ican Army and the French Fleet sur
rounded the British. Some of the
French battleships were sunk during
the seige, but recently they have been
raised from the bottom of the York
River.
All through the vessels are found
boat worms, living by eating the water
soaked timbers of the old ships. These
fishlike worms that feast on any wood
en- ship under the. water line live in
little tubular shells. And Bevan, alert
collector that he is. has several shell
tubes which he gathered in and near
the old French vessels.
With such interesting background
connected with his shells, Bevan has
found his collection welcome exhibit
in his school assembly.
And visitors at his home are often
entertained with view of his box of
shells as he is delighted to share his
hobby with folks who are interested.

Tribal History
On Indian Post

A MONG the Iroquois Indians, each
war chief kept a war post to COM
memorate great events and to preserve
the chronology of them.
Peeled posts, 10 to IL feet high.
we're erected in the village. After a
campaign the chief made a perpen-
dicular red mark 3 inches long and
one-half inch thick on the post for
each enemy killed. If scalp was
taken. red cross was made opposite
q mark.
On another side of the post there
was space to record prisoners taken
alive. The mark for this was a cross
with dot above it.
One tribe used a genealogical board,
called ''he rakare wakapa -paranga. +"
1t was tally having a notch for each
tribal name. opposite which was blank
space if the male line died out, or a
series of notches IL it continued; the
female lines were disregarded entirely
Indian boys were taught their FAM
lily history by repeat ting the names of
each ancestor to whom the notches re-
ferred.

Brain TeaSerS
From Mystery
By THOMAS THE MAGICIAN.

BY THOMAS THE MAGICIAN.
LOW would you like to try your
wits on some more magic brain
teasers?"
You would? Fine! I have an
other list all ready for you today.
You'll find the answers to these ques-
tions at the end of the list.
/. What is the first record We have
of a magic performance?
2. Who was the magician who billed
himself for years as The man who
mystified HERMANN"
magician to bring an Oriental atmos-
phere to occidental magic?
4. Who was the first magician to
present form of levitation, or aerial
suspension, in his program?
5. Who was the first man to use
what is known as hypnotism today, as
an aid to science and . means Of
curing the i'll?
l. The first record Of a magic per-
formance goes as far back as B. C..
1855. The magician was Tchatcha-
emankh, and the performance was
before the Egyptian ruler, King
Khufu.
2. Once again that master of
magic" Mr.. Howard Thurston, enters
into our column, for he was the man
who mystified Hermann"
8. The Chinese magician, Ching
Ling Foo, was the first entertainer
to bring an Oriental atmosphere to
our occidental magic.
4. An ancient magician by the
name of Robert Houdin was the first
person to present levitation in his
program. All following versions were
outgrowths of his invention.
5. Anton Mesmer was the first man
to use hypnotism as an aid to science.
At that time it was labeled Mes
merism," and was considered fake.
Today it is recognized by leading
physicians.

SoIving Codes
Is Useful Hobby

HERE'S q good pastime for you
= cryptography-which consists OF
making and solving codes. 1t Is not
a new hobby, for codes have been used
for centuries. But there are not many
experts In the world today.
The simplest way to find the mean
ing of code is to find the vowels. The
letters used the most in the English
language are a, e, l, o, d, h, t. s and r.
The word used the most is "the,"
which often gives a key to the rest OF
the sentence.
A simple vet baf1ing code is to add
q consonant to consonant and a
vowel to a vowel in order Of their oc-
currence. To write go" it would read
hu; follows o in the occurrence Of
the vowels, and h follows 8 in the
consonants. To write to-" the con-
sonant following is v; the vowel
following is u, giving us WI.
Spring is here" would read as fol-
lows: TQSoph OF jisi.
