peculiar way of anticipating him.
For instance, take radar-the super.
secret device that detects enemy air
craft and will be used in peacetime,
no doubt, to keep the airways clear
and prevent aircraft from colliding.
Practically the same device, but
with sound and not radio waves, has
been used for countless ages by the
ordinary flying bat.
Man has wondered how the bat
flying blindly at night, could avoid
colliding with trees, shrubbery and
other objects in its way.
Almost everyone has seen fast
flying bats in confined places such
as atticS, swerving unerringly past
rafters or old furniture. How come?
This natures puzzle was solved
only recently by two scientists, Dr.
Robert Galambos and DR.. Donald
Griffin, of the University of Roches-
ter Medical School.
The bat, they found, sends out
rapid and steady stream of short
cries, about 80 a second. These cries
are supersonic-so high pitched that
the human ear can't hear them.
Measured scientifically, these cries
have a frequency of about $4,000
cycles. Very few human beings can
hear much above 10000 cycles.
The Rochester scientists then, us
ing electronic instruments, discovered
that these to us inaudible cries are
reflected by objects in the bats line
of flight. The bat, picking up the
echo with its sensitive ears, skillfully
swerves from the obstacle
Other animals also use communi-
cation devices as amazing as the
bats "radar." 1t is possible that birds

structure and picked up by other ants.
Bees have sui another way of inter
communication-th sense of smell
When a bee finds food she releases
a chemical secretion of a peculiar
odor. Any bee passing by gets the
scent and flies TO the source of IL.
Similarly, some ants emit a chem
ical secretion when they become eX.
cited by the discovery of food. Other
ants invariably follow ii.
Beetles and other insects also use
the scent signals. Thus, for example,
the male banded moth finds its mate
by the odor which she releases.
The male cicada, on the other hand
uses the sound wave system 10 lure
the maiden. The mosquito, too, sends
love messages by sound. but in this
case it's the female who sends. -,
Nature is great, we say, but in sorAn
instances it's queer The large tropD
ical ponerine ant workers have all the
organs for making noise-yet none of
their species has means of receiving
them. This ants efforts at commu-
ication arc entirely wasted, il would
seem. Yet nature may have given them
"radar" equipment unknown TO us.

ALesson in contrasls

From liberated areas of France and Italy have come stories of shocking con- traSts in the living standards of the peo- pie. While some groups enjoy luxury and plenty, others slowly starve in utter degradation. According to news reports, the former are members of small minority with enough money to secure comforts in the black market. Perhaps this is the inevitable aftermath of war and economic collapse in which civili2a- ton gives way before the brutal law of dog eat dog. Whatever 1t is, Americans, who have been raised in nation where the emphasis has been on an ever wider distribution of necessities and luxurieS, will shudder with compassion and thank God they are here and not there.
 It is not an accident that this nation is the best fed and housed in the world, That is the result of free markets and url- restricted competition. For example, few years ago retail merchants developed the mass production idea of merchant diSing because they realized that expand ed low-coSt service to consumers was the only answer to the demands of competi- ton. In meeting those demands, they helped introduce healthier living stand ards. Today the retail industry is keyed to the needs of the masses
 The same is true of other industry in the United States. Never before have the productive activities of nation been di- rected SO exclusively toward benefiting all people. The tragic fate of Europe's peo- ples has brought this fact into bold relief as nothing else could, Irrespective of temporary risks or theories, the United States must reestablish free markets and unrestricted competition after the war or the American people will not continue to reap the full benefits of mass production and distribution.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-09-09
Easing Up On Rationing

There is every reason to believe that the Government will ease up on its food "a. tioning very shortly after the collapse of Germany. Authentic information 1ndl- cates that there are large food surpluses, and Washington reports indicate that the War Food Administration stocks now total approximately million tons, that reserves for the armed forces are several times that figure and that Lend-Lease food stocks abroad total to million tons. Eighty-five per cent of the meats previously rationed have been taken OH, because there is plenty of meat.
 Besides, there will be full harvest of food crops in the United States, while the countries in Europe that are being freed are reported to be in position to provide astonishing volumes of food for them selves The end of food rationing will save a lot of profanity at the grocery and meat counters and in housewives kitchens.
 At the same time there is every reason to expect that there will be more gas and rubber as soon as the war is over. All ot these questions that have been handled exclusively by the Executive branch Of the Government are gradually coming under the direction of Congress. That is a healthy conditiony which is apt to lead to better results. Wallace is out Of the picture. Byrnes is still sore because he didn't get the Vice Presidential nom. ination; the palace guards" have had their day.

Good Plans But

Various tax plans have been proposed in an effort to establish Federal tax ing system which would insure adequate governmental revenue and at the same time encourage the productivity of in- dustries and individuals.
 All of these plans have common characteristic. They have been evolved by the best brains in the country and are constructive efforts to bring the mon strous problem of Federal taxation under control before it destroys the very free dom for which American men are fight ing in every corner of the world. But and there is very large but-no plan will work unless the politicians and the people sincerely wish it to work. The old battle of class taxation, with group pit ted against group, each seeking to unload taxes onto the other fellow, if continued will block any sane tax plan.
