Make Christmas Long
Distance Calls Early

The, Northwestern Bell Tele-
phone Company is making extern
sive preparations to meet what is
expected to be the greatest load
of Christmas long distance calling
ever experienced.
This year there are nearly two
million men in the armed forces,
and vast numbers OF people are
away from home on defense
activities Also, many more people
are employed. Thus there doubt
less will be a great many more
folks who will want to make long
distance calls.
Judging from previous years, it
is expected that there will be at
least IL times as many calls to
many points on Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day as there are on an
average. business day. Traffic will
be especially heavy over distances
of 800 miles or more.
The telephone company is TAX

Predicting Long Life

Prediction of the length of a per-
sons life may, in future, be made
from count Of the number of white
cells in his blood. This possibility
(and so far it Is only a possibility
appears from discovery an
nounced by DR.. Carl Reich of Lenox
Hill hospital, New York, and DR..
W. F. Dunning of Columbia univer-
sity in an issue OF the journal
Science.
In rats. they discovered, long life
goes with a high count of white
blood cells, and particularly with a
high count Of the type Of white blood
cells called "neutrophile polys."
Strains of rats with low average
white cell counts had shorter life
spans than strains with high white
cell counts.
The white blood cells, and espe-
ciaIly the neutrophiles. make up an
important part Of the body's de-
lenses against invading disease
germs.
Sex differences associated with
length of life were in accord with
the findings. The females had a
significantly higher white cell count
than the males, and females of most
Of the strains Of rats studied had
significantly longer life spans than
the males.

Most Bugs Are Harmless;
Women Don't Think So

Like the weather. bugs are al
ways with us. They do Maypole
iances around our picnic lunches.
They drop from the rafters while
women faint and strong men turn
pale and bite their lips to keep back
4 scream. They scuttle across the
door unexpectedly, more terrifying
sometimes than q lion in a jungle.
So what can you do about them?
Nothing. Just accept them. The
United States department Of agri-
culture tells US that out Of 30, 600
species Of insects only 1000 spe-
cies are harmful. You mathemati-
cally minded folks can spend a
pleasant afternoon figuring out what
percentage Of the bugs you meet
are harmless. Then you can sit
back and relax. You have better
than an even chance Of surviving in
an open war between man and the
insect world.

mounted and fled so that no mat
ter what kind Of insect you find,
it's pretty sure to have a cousin or
uncle in Washington where the ento-
mologists know all about its person
al and family history.
The department receives and
identifies thousands Of unknown in
sects sent in from all over the
country each year. Plant quaran-
tine inspectors at various ports
watch for crawling creatures in for
eign shipments, and upon discover
ing one, they send 1t to Washington
post-haste for Identification. And il
Washington says it's harmful-the
shipment just doesn't land, that's
all.
Nothing upsets the department as
much as the appearance Of an "un-
classified insect" The experts can't
sleep well until they know all about
each bug.

Shells on Mountains
Clue to Earth's Story

There was a time when people
knew very little about rocks and
mountains. They wandered across
hills and valleys, but could not ex-
plain the history Of the land.
Shells found on mountain tops
made men wonder about changes in
the past. How could shells Of sea
animals have reached layers Of rock
thousands of feet above sea level?"
they asked.
Leonardo da Vinci, who lived in
the time of Columbus, put that ques-
ton before the world. He said the
shells must mean that the earth's
surface had changed greatly through
the ages.
AS time went on, study proved
that the shells were real" that
they surely must have covered ami.
mails which had lived long before.
Such proofs led to statements like
this:
Eyes. the shells are real. but they
must have been left on mountain
tops at the time Of Noah's food"
There were many who held that
view. and more than two centuries
passed before It was given up. The
only thing which brought men to
agree with the words Of Leonardo
was the slow, careful work Of sci.
entists. The scientists found facts
which at last made It clear that the
earth's surface has been changing
through the ages.

rear of the building to house
the bowling alley as the build
ing proper was not long
enough. The addition, an ex-
tension of the basement, was
built with the roof a few feet
above the ground, and it too
was destroyed.
From the Herald files, we find
that the corner stone was laid on
August 8, 1916, with ceremonies
appropriate to the occasion. The
building was completed, without in
terror decorations, about December
9Th, 1916. Open house was held
on January I, 1917.
The fire department was called
at about twenty-five minutes to five
Wednesday morning, when Fred
Kranz saw fire in the building. The
flames spread throughout the en-
tire structure and today, Thursday,
only the bare walls were left
standing. All records and para
phernalia were lost, and these
were valued at several thousands
Of dollars.
Insurance on the building, we
were informed, amounted to $500,
and insurance on the paraphernalia
of the various bodies was about
$500. Losses in paraphernalia and
records were sustained by Star in
the West Lodge, No. 60; Sank Cen
tire Chapter No. 40, r. A. M; the
knights Templar; the Eastern
Star; and the Council.
The total losss to both the Ma
sonic order and the bowling alley
proprietor, Mr.. Wagner, of Fergus
Falls, will be about $4,000, we
have been informed. There is also
a joint policy for insurance between
the Masonic building association
and the bowling alley proprietor,
which provides with the above men,
toned insurance, a fairly good
coverage.
Losses to the owner Of the bowl
ing alley are also great, as the al
leys and all property were totally
destroyed. At the present time 1t
is impossible to state as to whether
the building will be rebuilt, and
we have not been able to ascertain
plans of the bowling alley owners.
This was a severe blow to the
orders, as valuable records from
the beginning Of these organiza-
tions in this city were lost, and
beautiful and useful paraphernalia,
which will be hard to replace, has
been transformed to ashes.

game. They fought all the way,
but Appleton's early lead and per-
sistently good offensive was too
much.
Appleton had the best team on
the floor that night. They had
more drive, they were shooting
better, and their offensive was
clicking. Sank Centre seemed to
be looking for something. For a
while Mooney was the only one
who could find it. He wound up
with 8 points. Rosedahl got Z
and three personal fouls. Rattle
went out on fouls, got points.
Proell took 8. Cotton, off color as
he was on his shooting, got II
points.
Sank Centre wasn't out of that
ball game until it was over. They

was simply a matter Of foul shots.

European Startling Has

the u. S. in 1890 to crowd out spar
rows, starlings themselves have be-
come nuisance In some eastern
cities. notably Washington. When
they gang up in great docks, as
they often do, they make a dread
full din. But when performing solo,
Sturnus vulgaris Is one Of the most
versatile Of all bird mimics. It not
only initiates the songs Of many
birds but also reproduces, with I'M
canny fidelity. the cackle Of a lay

young robins, the plant Of annoyed
guinea fowl, even the NEW Of q
kitten or the whistling Of a boy.
Botanist Harry Ardell Allard of

Of starlings, coaxing them to per-
form by placing nesting boxes out

Case Believed Anthrax
Under Treatment Here

A suspected case of anthrax is
under treatment at Emergency Hos
pital. the District Health Depart
ment was told today. The wife of
a member of Congress, whose name
was not disclosed, was reported
to be the patient.
The disease is rare, and DR.. James
G. Cumming said no case of anthrax
had been reported in the District
for about Is years. Due to develop
ment of antitoxin to counteract the
disease, the mortality rate is said
not to be high.
Several cases were reported in
recent years and were blamed on
shaving brushes said to have been
imported from Japan. Often the
disease is contracted by handling
untreated furs.
DR.. John Movie. Health Depart
ment bacteriologist, was obtaining
specimens for laboratory analysis at
the Health Department for a final
check as to whether the ailment
suffered by the woman was anthrax.
