Iermite Colony Complex I'm
Its Organixati ton.

An ant OF termite colony was
pictured as a super-organism, with
individuals reacting on each other
as DO the cells Of the BODY. bv Dr.
Alfred E. Emerson Of the Uniyersitv
OF Chicago before the ASSOCIATION
today. '0-A
Such colonies, 1t is well known
consist OF a king and queen, an
army OF soldiers to defend the nest.
ana myriads Of sexless workers.
Upon the royal couple, especially
guarded and cared for, rests the sole
responsibility Of continuing the
colony and the queen spends most
OF her life laying eggs.
Most Of the insects Matched grow
up as workers, but apparently they
contain all the potentianties Of royal
parents or soldiers. It has lately
been found, DR.. Emerson said, that
there Is some sort Of secretion from
the queens body which inhibits
workers from developing into queens,
another from the king which pre-
vents the development Of rivals, and
still another from the soldiers which
prevents too many from possessing
offensive and defensive weapons.
New Queen Develops Fast.
In the best organized sort Of
colony another queen developes out
OF a sexless individual In q short
time II the old queen, with her in
hibiting influence, Is removed. Losses
in soldiers apparently are made up
in the same way.
These inhibiting substances might
be compared to the body regulating
hormones secreted from the en-
docrine glands Of mammal or to
the control mechanisns, as yet not
understood, which restrict the repro
duction of various types of cells
within proper limits 50 that there
is always just enough skin, hair,
lung, brain, ETC., and no more. When
these influences fail to work
malignant tumor developes which
kills the rest Of the organism. II
they failed to work in q termite
nest 1t might perish Of q soldier
cancer" or something Of the sort.
The ant-hiu superorganism, DR..
Emerson said, seems potentially, al
though not practically, to have
solved the secret of Immortality. One
such, a termite colony, was kept
alive for "a years in q flask and
then persisted by accident. But when
a colony is considered as q unit.
with no more concern for the perish
ing of the individual than is felt
for the individual cells in an an
imal's body, nothing Is positively
known which would prevent that
individual from living forever.
But, DR.. Emerson said, there Is
some slight evidence which cannot
be formulated that even such q
super-organism eventually gets old
and dies, just as a collection Of cells.

S|DLEY BELIEVES
MOTHER POISONED
Matted Milk Heiress' Son
Says Toronto Lawyer
Gave Her Pills.

TORONTO. Ontario, Oct. IS (Cana-
dian Press) William Sidley, jr., son
of Mrs. Mabelle Horlick Sidley, Amer
ican matted milk heiress who died
here July 6, was quoted in = state
ment read in court yesterday as say
ing his mother might have been
poisoned-slo&ly poisoned"
sidley was quoted also as saying he
felt certain his mother had been held
a prisoner in the home Of w. Perkins
Bull, Toronto lawyer and historian,
where she died, and that he had seen
Bull give her different pills"
The statement was read before JUS
tice G. P. McTague Of Ontario Su-
preme Court in chambers by A. G.
Slaght, Crown counsel, at hearing
on an injunction motion to stop an
inquest into Mrs. Sidley's death.
Slaght represented Chief Coroner DR..
Smirle Lawson.
Previously D. L. Mccarthy, repre-
senting four executors Of Mrs. Sid
leys $2,OO0,O00 estate seeking the in
junction, expressed doubt whether Sid
ley had grounds for suspicion. He ar
gued against the procedure by which
the attorney general had ordered an
inquest July IS, nine days after Mrs.
Sidley's body had been shipped to
Racine. Wis, for burial.
The motion to halt the inquest, Nc
Carthy said, was brought by people
who were satisfied Mrs. Sidley came to
her death by ordinary causes.
''If the attorney general really thinks
there was some foul play, not one hint
was given of it at the inquest" Nc
Carthy said. Surely the relatives are
entitled to some reason for the inquest.
LAS it is, the body was released for
burial and a report submitted which
whitewashes the findings Of the doctors
all the way through. DR.. Smirle
Lawson did not think an inquest was
necessary. What is it all about?"
Cause of Mrs. Sidleys death had
been listed as disintegration of the
cells of the spinal cord.

Despite efforts of totalitarian states
to stamp out religion, underneath the
surface of social and economic unrest
1t remains dominant moving force
the Rev. ze Barney Phillips, rector OF
the Church of the Epiphany and chap
lain OF the Senate, said yesterday at
services commemorating the 32d anni-
versary Of the dedication of the Ma
sonic and Eastern Star Home.
He mentioned specifically Japan
Germany and Russia and of the latter
charged that Stalin's government to-
day is tottering and unsteady. He
pointed to the spread Of religion in
these countries in former years and
stated that 1t is still alive and will re-
main so.
DR.. Phillips also warned of a ten
dency in this country to forget ideals
OF home life. The fading of the family
group ideal in the home is increasing
the dangers of a dictatorship for
America, he said.
The speaker urged Masons and
Eastern Star members to rally to the
defense of American ideals of free
dom and love for one another.

orders attended the services in the

FOurthOfSOcial
Security Cards

Women have been assigned one
fourth of all the social security account
numbers issued, the Social Security
Board revealed today. in announcing
the results OF an analysis of its old
age insurance records.
The study, based on a 10 per cent
sample of more than 100000 appli-
cations for account numbers, showed
that persons under IS years Of age
accounted for more than 81 out OF
every 100 cardholders.
In the District Of Columbia the
samples showed that 6,975 women out
of 22,659 accounts studied received
social security account numbers. The
largest age grouping of both men and
women was recorded between the ages
of Is and 20. In this bracket the men
polled 1877 per cent Of the total studied
and the women totaled 1875 per cent.
The study was made, according to
John j. Corson, director of the Bureau
of Old-Age Insurance, to obtain essen
tial data required in administration of
the old-age insurance program. He
said the analysis also yielded much in
formation Of general interest, supple
menting what is already known about
