You know how the ant is
supposed to be a most provi-
dent insect, storing up food
in summer against the viciSsi-
tudes of the winter. A lot Of
other creatures do the same
thing, but for some reason the
ant has always been given the
greatest credit.
The graSshopper is the one

the boy had done like his father and gone on
boarding up more wampum, what good would
that have done the community? He said the
same people who were criticizing the son for
spending had knocked the father as an old skin
flint and tightwad who had made his money
out Of the town and never given any Of it back,
and here the son was spreading it everywhere
and still there was complaint.

Community AirpLanes

Community AIFpLdneS
OUR daily shudders in this office are inspired
by the committing airplanes which have
their landing port down the street at the foot Of
Wall. They swoop down under the Brooklyn
Bridge, and often, from the windows here where
we study their flight, it does seem as if the
fragile aircraft just barely miss scraping the
span.
AS an air novice but sensitive observer it
would appear to me that these planes could just
as easily fly over the bridge and then circle
around to descend to their landing base in the
water.
