DiSconcerts
u. S. Troops

American troops in Iceland may
have a little difficulty acclimating
themselves to life there, judging by
the report of a Washington man
just back from Reykjavik.
Frederick George Calvert, radio
man first class reserve on the U. S.
s. Hamul and a former Government
employe here, Is still trying to get
over a fishing trip. The founder
bite well IN Iceland, apparently,
particularly at midnight when Mr..
Calvert caught several, not how
ever by the light of the silvery
moon, but with the aid of bright
sun. The night seemed like a bright
midafternoon.
Mr.. Calvert, who lives at 1926
Corbin place NE. when not serv-
ing as radio operator of the Hamul,
found the Northern capital quiet,
clean town of well-dressed, kindly
people. Young Icelanders came
down to the dock and threw coins
up to the sailors who responded
with nickels and dimes.
With a Goth anniversary coming
UP next month, Mr.. Calvert hopes
that he will be here to observe 1t
with his wife and four sons but
doubts that his leave will extend
beyond this week.

The bite Of the widow causes dis
comfort which may last for several
days. The pain Is general and may
be accompanied with slight tempera-
ture. The area about the punctured
spot swells considerably. Usually the
wound is opened and weak ammonia
is applied. AS the bite tends to
paralyze the bowels, cathartics are
given the patient. On the other
hand, many healthy humans do not
suffer any Ill effects from the bite.

The most constant mark is the hour

length, though conspicuouSly marked.
In addition to the decorations Of
red worn by the adult female, he
has four pairs of stripes along his
sides. The younger females also are
so marked However, the male has
no hourglass.
The widow spins an irregular web
of coarse silk, which Is easily dis
tinguished from other spider webs
because the silk Is so much heavier.
During the summer, usually in
July, the black widow spins enough
silk for three or four cocoons-and
each of them may contain as many
as 300 eggs. That sounds like
large offspring, but. according to the
best spider traditions. the stronger
brethren fatten on the weaker ones,
and in few weeks after the spider
lings have made their entrance in
