tile foot of soil and all the waters of the earth It
made use of the air long before the first bird or
insect hoped off, but it gets places mostly by
peaceful penetration.
The vegetable usually lives and dies rooted to
one spot but it sends its seed to the corners of the
earth by means of winds and waters.
The animals goes places under it's own power,
devouring the plants and other animals it finds on
the way. Forms of life so low that it is question
able whether they are plant animal or neither as
disease microbes take their revenge all the ami
mails including man.
In the rush for conquest, there has been stern
competition with long lists of plant and animal
failures which have become extinct In world
of individuasts, there was always the temptation
to escape competition by combination. If band
of ape-men would club together, they could avoid
being dubbed separately by the superior individual
who had them on the run.
But this was an old idea long before the first
ape or monkey had been evolved.
Individualist wasps had learned that if lot of
them stung together they could drive away even
large animal and chase other wasps that preferred
to live their own lives, out of the neighborhood
but they had to pay the price of becoming slaves
of the nest Whether the first insect Lenin or
Trotzky was wasp may never the known. If so
they were soon followed by termite Mussolins, ant
Hitlers and bee Frances
The totalitarian insects appear so invincble in
their savish sacrifice of everything in order that
there will be another generation of selfsacrficers,
as to make it seem strange that all forms of insect
life did not quickly follow suit or perish.
Zone for all and all for one" sounds unbeatable
but was said of the Communists, it turned out
to be zone for all and all for nothing"
Today, eighty million years after that wasp
community was going concern, the vast majority
of all forms of life this earth remains
individuaistic
The totalitarian insects got lucky break from
the vegetable kingdom and accidentally gave one
in return. The fossil wasp nest that tumbled into
the mud 80000000 years ago did at time
known to biologists as the upper Cretaceous pc
Rod, when the monster dinosaurs were coming to
the end of their reign.
Up to that time, Towering plants had played

lus sort of Athenian Edison Among other
things he built great labyrinth for King Minos of
Crete the ruins of which may still be SEEN and
guaranteed that nobody imprisoned in it could find
his way out. Minos thought it would be good
demonstration to make the inventor and his son
Icarus the first victims of the maze
Even its inventor could not find his way out
but the labyrinth open to the skies and
necessity, being as usual the mother of invention,
DaedaluS contrlved wings for himself and his son.
The story tells how he constructed the wings
and stuck them to their shoulders with wax Off
they flew. But Icarus was too ambitious and in
stead of attending strictly to the business of
escaping, scared so close to the sun that it's heat
melted the wax and he crashed. The father landed
safely in Sicily, only to die of broken heart over
the loss of his son.
Darius Green and his flying machine a poem
popular in school oratorical contests the last
of the mystical aviators to come to grief had only
kindly and worthy ambitions for himself and the
human race
So did Professor Langley, the first to prove it
could be done and the Wright Brothers who
actually flew.
They rode storm of ridcule as well as the
air. learned college professor announced that
man could never fly until an engine had been con-
structed so light small and powerful that one
horsepower could be confined in the space Of a
watch-case. In all the rdicule of the flying
machine, nobody dreamed the hideous truth that
if the thing could be made to work its chief USE
fitness would be to carry death and destruction.
This is how Darius Green reasoned, according
to his creator, F. T. Trowbrdge:
THE birds can fly an why can't 1?
Must we give in says he with a grin,
THAT the bluebird and phoebe
Are smarter than we be?
Does the little chatterin' sassy wren,
No bigger n my thumb, know more than men?
Just show me that!
Ur prove the bat
Hez got more brains than's in my hat
And I'll back down, and not till then!'
Mans lust for wings is not to fly away from

loot its universe, first of food and then of any

A FOSSIL wasp nest, eighty million years
- old, has been found in a rock formation
of Utah by DR.. ]. B. Reside and DR..
G z. Dobbn of the United States Geological
Survey and has been presented to the Smithsonian
Institution of Washington, D. G.
The significance of the discovery is that an
insect so long ago that it seems like an eternity,
had already achieved mans two latest steps in
alleged progress totalitarianism and command of
the air-aso at the same cost loss of individual
freedom.
In all the S0000OOO years since that nest fell
INTO what was then a puddle of mud the wasp
never developed any further If the singing insect
has any message for man. il is the suggestion that
perhaps he too has reached the same evolutionary
dead-end street and must stop, detour or die
This lust for wings, the envy of birds and
flying insects, has evidently teased the mind of
man, ever since he had enough of a brain TO con-
slider the matter The yearning for the power TO
fly, in order TO get away from the troubles of life
Is asserted in the Old Testament Of the Bible
When David was oppressed by the wicked, in
his despair he cried 10 God
"Oh that had wings like dove for then
would fly away, and be at rest" psalm So

Il thought the airplane would bring peace" he
said. Il thought il would bring war home to the
people Of every land. thought the airplane could
fly over an enemy capital, and that no nation would
dare TO 60 to war with such weapon in existence
I'VE didn't dream that airplanes would be de-
veoped as they have"

thing else that can possibly be used.
When that flimsy wasp nest fell into the
mud and turned into rock, animal and vege-
table life had already come long way, in fact
this world was already conquered.
The two rival kingdoms of life developed
and spread throughout every habitable part
of the waters of the earth.
This done they climbed out and conquered
the dry land and from the land the air.
Having mastered the air, that was all there
was of this little world for bird or insect to
conquer but man has for some time been
planning to cross interplanetary space on

people of Israel with
these words Isaiah 40
verse 81:
But they that wait
upon the Lord shall re-
n ew tn cir strength;
they shall mount up
with wings as eagles"
The proph e cy has
be en- fulfilled, though
not with the wings of a
dove, as David sug-
gested but the death
dealing on es of the
eagle, the bird of prey
or the poisonous wasp,
multiplied to the bill
lionth power of destruc-
tiveness.
The Greeks, most
brilliant minds Of his
toric tim e s, seem to
have done much visit
full thinking on the sub
ject. Alexander con-
quered the world, but
no h ig h er from the
ground than the back
of a horse. He could
come no nearer con-
quering the empire of
the air than did his ape
ancestors, climbing a
tree.
The Greek deities
flew about with and
without wings and there
was Pegasus, the di-
vine, winged horse.
But the Greeks knew
that if mortal man was
ever to fly it must be
by his mechanical in
ventiveness. And so
there was the myth of
Daedalus and Icarus.
The Greeks sensed too
that flight meant trag-
edy but did not realize
that it involved tn e
whole human race.
