Hats off to Stewart Paxton and the

heavy playing schedule, took time on
Monday night to go over to Martins
burg and put on an exhibition game
for the benefit of the patients at the

Stewart tells me that the patients
got a big kick out of the game and
were loud in their appreciation. He
is planning to return to the hospital
shortly with his weight lifting team,
in another exhibition for the patients.

tive of the Sixth Naval district

spector here, said yesterday.
Officers and enlisted men
who held aviation ranks
or ratings were requested to
meet in room 229 of the Gus
toms building. while officers
who had port director or armed
guard service during the recent
war were asked to meet in the
office of E. c. Snead, assistant
collector of customs and State
commander of the Veterans OF

Bost said that the two corps
m may reach an enrolment of $50
men or more and added that if
enough interest is evidenced
"the chances are favorable that
permanent organized units Of
aviation and transportation will
be formed in Wilmington"
Members of such organized
units would draw pay for each
day they served, and such units
ordinarily meet once or twice
weekly. Bost said. They are also
given the choice Of making
summer cruise, for which they
are paid.
This city would have the only
transportation unit in the four
States comprising the Sixth Ma
val district should the Navy ap-
prove the plan when it is pre-
sented in the near future. ac'
cording to Bost. who said the
nearest organized aviation unit
is in Norfolk, Va.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29. --U.e- A
scientist said today chat the ant
and even the termire is smarter
than man The insects at least
supply enough food to all mem
bers of their species.
The inability of man to pro
vide food for all, said DR.. Ernest
N. Cory, of the University OF
Maryland, is caused by human
greed.
Cory, speaking at session OF
the annual meeting of the
American Association for the
Advancement of science, said
that man "has approached the
success of colonial insects ir
some of his material needs, in.
Guiding the production, process
ing, storage and preparation o1
food.
"In distribution in the larger
sense he said, attempts tc
control supply through price
regulation, incentive payments
or other artificial means have
failed through the ages.
Artificial control of prices
and supply failed as early al
100 B. c. during the 18th dynas'
ty in Egypt. This failure to con.
troll food has been repeated nota'
bly, in China, Athens, Rome
Britain, Belgium, India, France
and in the United States, both
in colonial and recent times.
"Why? because of human
greed; an attribute apparently
missing from social insects
They supply food to every mem
ber of the colony at the price
of unremitting labor"
Cory said that man has provee
smarter than the insect in pro
viding shelter for himself - ex
cept that the ants, termites ant
bees knew the secret of air con
ditioning long before man did
He said that the insect alst

having wars to kill off the ex
cess members.

The teaching of facts about

although advisable, is not possible
because of the lack of proper teach
ers, DR.. James A. Cannon, physician
member of the Board of Education
said today.
DR.. Cannon made his comment
following the recommendation by

Thursday that the subject should
be taught in the high schools and
was expected" to be taught this
winter.

presented in the proper manner, it
Is a good thing"
Il He went on to explain that the
subject requires special teachers,
trained in the work, and the school
system does not have that type OF
Instructor available. He recalled
that the Board of Education elimi-
hated a sex course in the high
schools several years ago because
board members felt 1t was not being
taught properly.
! Installation of a course in venereal
diseases has not been considered by

1t would have required a lot Of
seed and a lot of steps and years for
Johnny to have planted all the trees
attributed to him. And the trees must
have been sturdy and long lived-it
was around 1901 when he was scat
tering apple seed over the Buckeye
State. He quit it about 1888.
Johnny did plant lot of seed and
from them grew a lot of apple
trees. A jefferson County pioneer
related in 1906: II saw Johnny
Appleseed today. He was going down
river with two canoes lashed together
and they were we'll laden with apple
seeds which he had obtained at the
cider presses in Western Pennsyl-
