Some varieties Of bark beetles are
homogeneous while others are polyg-
amous. With the former, 1t Is the
feminine beetle which digs the "bri-
dal chamber" and Is then Joined by
her male consort. With the latter,
the masculine beetle is the home
builder. He soon gathers about him
a number of "wives." In either case,
the "wives" proceed to dig tunnels
out from the 'bridal chamber" the
number of these depending upon the
number Of "wives." In these tun-
nels, the mother beetles lay their
eggs. Sometimes, a Family" spends
the entire summer egg-laying sea-
son in a single diggings, but in 9TH
er cases may move as many as
four times, boring out a new abode
and laying more eggs each time.
The polygamous male usually spends
most all his time In the entrance tun-
mel, pushing out borings and defend
ing his insect harem. Often he
dies or is killed there, blocking the
entrance against his foe with his
body.

Modern Plants Have Been
Produced bv Crossing

Could you have walked into the
finest garden In England In the days
Of Good Queen Bess, you would have
been shocked at the poverty of the
plants and flowers.
Needless to say, most of the flow
ers which adorn a modern garden
would have been absent, for they
had not yet been brought to Eng
land. But even those growing and
blooming-the roses, pinks, wall
flowers and the like--would have
seemed small, single, poor in color
and texture, compared with mod
ern flowers.
And the same with vegetables.
Gardeners owe an enormous debt,
not only to the plant-hunters who
have brought from abroad such
lovely flowers as dahlias, chrysan-
themums, azaleas, and rhododen-
drons, but also to the clever and
careful experimenters who have in
vented new plants.
These are the people who take two
different flowers and cross them,
forming q new plant which is per-
haps quite unlike either parent. All
our lovely modern roses, carnations
and sweet peas-to name only three
varieties-have been produced by
crossing. Yet the hybridizer has q
thousand failures for one success.
The most valuable work In this
direction has been done on food
plants. For instance, 1t has just
been announced that research work
ers for the Canadian government
have produced a perennial wheat
that is, wheat which does not need
to be sown afresh each spring, but
which grows up each year like a hay
crop, from the same roots.
Another curious invention is a
perennial cotton plant which Is be-
ing grown In Portuguese East At
rica.

BEET SUGAR ASSOCIATION Eek
PLAINS SUGAR SHORTAGE

"Rationing of sugar has been de-
creed because shortage OF sup
plies necessitates that all military
requirements for sugar and molas-
ses be FULFILLED, and that the re-
naming sugar be fairly distributed
among civilian customers" reports
bulletin of the U. s. Beet Sugar
Association.
More concretely, the bulletin at
tributes the current shortage to four
reasons. In the first place, sugar con-
sumption in the United States dur
ing 1941 reached the total of
100000 tons, at least 100000
tons more than normal. This re-
suited In serious reduction of re-
serve stocks.
Second, shipments of sugar from
the Philippine Islands, ordinarily
amounting to 100000 tons a year,
have been entirely cut off by the
war. Furthermore, Hawaii and
other off-shore areas may soon find
1t impossible to ship their usual
supply.
In the third place, the United Ma
tions, chiefly Great Britain, Canada,
and Russia, have been promised
large stocks of sugar.
Finally, much of the Cuban crop,
recently purchased by the Defense
Supplies Corporation, must be con-
verted into molasses for the produc-
tion of alcohol Alcohol is an essen
tial war product. 1t furnishes mo-
tive power for torpedoes and is
used as a solvent in making gelatine
dynamite and smokeless powder. 1t
is also a dehydrating agent In the
production of nitro-cellulose.
The United States Beet Sugar
Association points out that the
beet sugar industry, with its supply
for 1912 of $500, 100000 pounds,
will for the first time become the
largest single source of supply for
the American consumer.

Age Brings Bigger Ears
And Broader Features

The ears get larger, the nose gets
longer and broader, and the mouth
gets wider as one grows older. The
curious age, changes in the dimen-
sions of these facial organs, suffi-
cient to change materially the ap-
pearance of the individual, have
been established by DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka, curator of physical an
thropology of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition, by measurements of thou
sands Of men and women-white
"Old Americans" Pueblo and other
Indians, Eskimos and Negroes.
When one meets an old friend aft
er lapse of years, there is often a
vague unfamiliarity about his fea-
lures which cannot easily be ex-
planned. you've changed somehow,
but ] can't say just where" is a
common remark. Part of the
change, II is probable, is due to
these altered dimensions of the
mouth and nose.
Among the white "Old Ameri-
cans" says DR.. Hrdlicka, "both the
nasal breadth and length increases
during adult life, but the increase in
breadth exceeds somewhat that in
length. With the ears, conditions
are reversed-they increase more in
their length. Both the Pueblos and
other Indians show similar condi-
tions, and at least as pronounced.
The length of the nose and the
breadth of the ears increase with
age but slightly; the nasal breadth,
however, and the ear length in
crease decidedly"
The effects of age on the mouth,
DR.. Hrdlicka pointed out, are even
more marked than those Of the nose.

Where Did Cabot's Ship
Land? Opinions Differ

When one OF John Cabots crew
Of IS, peering through the mists at
s a. m, June "a, 1497, joyfully shout
ed "Land, ho," what land was he
looking at? That the North Amer
lean continent was at that moment
being discovered historians general
ly agree. But there has been learned
disagreement on whether Cabot's
ship, the Mathew, was putting in
at the northern tip Of Cape Breton
island or somewhere in Newfound-
land or Labrador.
Prof. Leo E. F. English, recently
inspector of Roman Catholic schools,
has now placed arguments before
the Newfoundland Historical society
which he says indicate that Crates
cove was the disputed landfall.
Professor English claims to have
found a large rock on the foreshore
Of this harbor on which are letters,
undecipherable now with the naked
eye. When a photograph Of the
letters was placed under micro.
scope, however, he said the letters
were found to be:
10 COBOTO
RIG
Professor English contends that
the Italian Cabot placed his Vene-
tian name, Giovanni Caboto, on this
rock. He explains that the RIG is
no doubt part of the name Henricus,
or Henry VII, the Tudor king o1
England, under whose patronage
Cabot put out from Bristol, Eng.
land, May 2, 1497.

British Guiana

British Guiana is about the size
of England, Scotland and Wales
and has population of $4,000.
The Mazaruni diamond fields are
extremely rich but almost inacces-
sible. In one year-the largest thus
far-214, ,474 carats of British Guiana
diamonds were produced. That is
more than $4,000, 900 worth of spar
klers.
British Guiana possesses one Of
the worlds great natural wonders
Kaieteur falls. 1t is only $50 miles
from Georgetown, the capital, but
has been seen by few white menl
The trip from Georgetown to Kaei-
teur and return takes seven days
and is made by rail, river steamer,
motor car and launch. The falls
have sheer drop of TAI feet, max
ing them five times as high as

CONVENIENCE is A CASUALTY

Thoughtful Americans have real
lied for many years that wars are
enemies of the standard OF living
of civilized peoples. Within coming
months 1t will inescapably be made
clearer to all that the winning OF
this present war involves in the
United States a marked reduction in
material comforts and conveniences.
The machinery of production
must be turned and is being turned
with remarkable speed to the manu-
facture of weapons of war. Donald
Nelson, chairman of the War Pro-
duction Board, says the conversion
of the motor industry to military
production has proceeded much fast
er than many supposed would be
possible. The indication that the air.
craft companies and shipyards will
be able to meet the high goals of
10000 planes and 100000 tons of
ships set by President Roosevelt
for 1912 is gratifying news.
In the battle of production every
American family and individual
can have and necessarily will have
some part, whether engaged di-
rectly in defense industry or not.
More millions will do their part
simply by getting along without
some of the mechanical conven-
fences they have come to expect
than will turn out she'll cases, cut
out uniforms, or make other war
supplies.
This is the import of news that
manufacture of nearly all remain
ing lines of durable goods for ci-
william consumption will have been
discontinued by the end of May. Not
only the manufacturing facilities
but also the metals used in many
customary conveniences must go,
unfortunately, into bullets and
bombs for defense. Americans will
cheerfully do their best to make
present automobiles, refrigerators,
radios, waffle irons, curtain rods,
and other metal articles last for the
duration-supportin their purpose
and hope that ultimately war may
be made less prevalent in the
world. The Monitor.

FORTY MILES AN HOUR

Forty-mile-an-hour speed laws
imposed in several States at Presi-
dent Roosevelt's request will incon-
venience no one. They will only do
away with the luxury and peril of
fast driving.
Lower speeds, while saving tires
and gasoline, will also save wear
and tear on car parts-not to men
ton the driver. And any factor tend
ing to reduce the pace of the Ma
tion's 40,O00,000 automobile driv-
ers is certain to have an effect in
lowering last years inexcusably
high total of 10000 highway fatal
tiles.
Most motorists do not realize
that an average set of. five new tires
can be made to last 10000 miles.
About one-half that mileage is
usually lost through carelessness,
neglect and wasteful driving prac-
tices. Even at forty miles an hour,
the motorist wastes twelve per
cent of his rubber as compared
to lower speeds.
There is small likelihood that
gearing the Nations pace to forty
miles an hour or less will discom-
fort anyone. On the contrary, the
national emergency will give mo-
torists new opportunity to learn
that little time is lost in travelling
slowly and that there can be as
much enjoyment in going places as
in getting there.

Ant Surgeons

In Bali, a species of large ants
performs the surgical job Of sutur-
ing wounds, according to the travel
er-physician, DR.. F. c. E. Knight.
He revealed the use Of ants as sur
geons in describing cockfighting in
Bali. The Balinese have no knowl-
edge of how to stitch up human
wounds but have developed an in
genious method of closing wounds
incurred by their rooster Champs"
The natives hold the ant by its mid
die and make it bite the wound so
each mandible enbeds itself in one
lip Of the wound. Then the ant Ii
cut in two, leaving the mandibles
clamred on the wound, thus holding
the edges together.

Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon will be the fol-
lowing from the Bible, Isaiah 8:19:
"And when they shall say unto you,
Seek unto them that have familiar
spirits, and unto wizards that peep,
and that mutter; should not a peo-
pie seek unto their God? for the
living to the dead"
The Lesson-Sermon also will in
clude passages from the Christian
Science textbook, Science and

SUGAR SAVERS

To conserve sugar, the home
economists Of the U. s. Department
Of Agriculture suggest making
fewer pies, cakes, and sugar--rich
desserts; using more fruits--fresh,
canned and dried; gradually reduc-
ing the quantity of sugar in bever-
ages, especially il the usual quaint
ity leaves some undissolved in the
bottom of the cup; eating cereals
with little or no sugar, to SAVIOR
their distinctive f1avors; serving any
very sweet foods, like preserves,
last--never before foods that are less
sweet, because this contrast makes
one want extra sugar.

Dutch Guiana

Dutch Guiana
Dutch Guiana figured In one Of
history's most spectacular trades
and most spectacular blunders. In
1867 Holland gave New Netherland
(roughly what is now New York
state)-to England In exchange for
the colony that Is now Dutch Guiana.
Tropical colonies were more valued
at that time than those in colder
climates - and South America
seemed more promising than North
America.
Today the population of New York
state is about rs times greater than
that of Dutch Guiana-and there are
13 cities In the modern New Neither
land which surpass Paramaribo,
Dutch Guiana's largest city, with
its 54,852 inhabitants.
Today Dutch Guiana figures again
in history for the worlds major sup
plies Of bauxite, principal source Of
aluminum, are located there.
