NATURES CHILDREN
TARANTULA.

Great fear Of spiders has been the
reason SO many Of these valuable
neighbors are killed every year. So
many legends and myths surround
these creatures that 1t Is pity that
the truth Is not known, 30 that
many people may enjoy the freedom
that comes with knowledge.
Tarantulas, because Of their size
and hairy bodies, have an exceed
ingly bad reputation. Actually they
make charming pets and they are
very interesting because they appear
to recognize the one they have been
used to having around. In a small
cage they are apparently quite
content. They watch what is going
on about them and do not fret to
be free. They are absolutely HARM
less to man.
In the South. where tarantulas
are numerous. tall tales are told
about them. You would think the
spider got upon its hind legs and
chased little children in order to
bite them. If you were to listen to
the stories repeated about their
viciousness.
The blackish tarantulas that
sometimes have been brought in
with shipments OF bananas are
thought to be more deadly than a
rattlesnake. Stories have been
written and told about the banana

They are great diggers. enjoying
the exercise of excavating tunnels.
They are not doing this to get food,
As they can find all they need
above ground. They seem to get 4
thrill out of pouncing upon q hefty
grasshopper and they dote on fat
cockroaches. If very hungry they
win eat worms, though these are
not relished.
Tarantulas live to be very old. At
20 years Of age they seem quite spry.
The most critical time Of their
existence is when they moult. This
they do twice = year during their
early years, later once 4 year. A
few days prior to moulting the
spiders refuse all food and appear
to be sick. The day before they lie
on their back. The moulting process
starts when the upper skin Of the
fore part Of the body splits along
the side. This opening gradually
widens and the tarantula oozes out.
One hour Is needed to change from
the old, tight skin to Z new, loose
one. The skin on the tummy Of the
spider Is exceedingly thin; II it

The Most Perfect

Providence: Would be pre-
sumptuous If I were to remind you
of an outstanding error made in one
of your recent articles, that of the
most perfect example"?-R. D.
Answer: Several other readers
have objected to most perfect" as
a violation of the general rule that
superlatives such as perfect" cam
not be compared But the rule is
not an inflexible one. In "A Work
ing Grammar of the English Lam
guage," the noted grammarian
James c. Fernald has this to say:
"Adjectives expressing some quail
ity that does not admit of degrees
are not compared when used in
their strict or full sense; as, square,
perpendicular, circular, absolute,
eternal, complete, perfect, etc. But
such adjectives are often used in a
modified or approximate sense, and
when so used admit of comparison.
If we say This is more perfect than
that we do not mean that either
is perfect without limitation. but
that this has more of the qualities
that 60 to make up perfection than
'thatS"
Most modern authorities take the
sensible stand that gramm mar
(Which youth loathes and maturity
forgets') should be the servant and
not the master of a living language.
And such view is not revolution
ary. for Shakespeare wrote, THE
perfectest herald OF joy: Milton
wrote, Hail! divinest Melancholy"
and Longfellow wrote, No discord
in the three, but the most perfect
harmony"
The subject of comparisons and
superlatives is discussed in detail in
my free pamphlet which I shall be
glad to send to you with my compli-
ments and the good wishes Of this
paper. Send q stamped t3-cent). self
addressed envelope to Frank Colby in

West opened the king Of clubs,
South ruffing with the spade three.
The first round Of trump then dis
closed the bad news. Four rounds
of trump would have to be drawn,
leaving South with only one trump
| in his hand.
IF he then led to dummy's top
diamonds, he would have to return
! to his hand by ruffing a club with
his last trump. The enemy would
then gain the lead with the queen
| Of diamonds and would be able to
cash two club tricks.
After two cigarettes and half
glass of water, South saw way out
of his trouble. On the fourth round
of trumps. he discarded the ace OF
hearts from dummy! Then he
cashed the king and queen of hearts,
discarding from dummy the ace and
king of diamonds
That allowed him to lead the jack
of diamonds. forcing out the queen.
while he still had his last trump to
assure re-entry to his own hand.
