f1uttering things in the face need no
such far-fetched explanation.
The fear of a snake has rather fright
full implications, too, but here again we
believe that mostly it is the sudden ap-
pearance that does the work.
Spiders have way of suddenly ap-
pearing indoors in the oldest places.
One built web between the lid Of an
old-type phonograph and the body Of

There it lived in peace until dis
covered by tidy housekeeper.
There is very little chance of getting a
spider bite indoors. A few of the outdoor
spiders, notably the black widow, can do
much harm. These toxic bites must be
treated at once by physician, who, If
he knows his business, will put the
patient in the hospital right away.
Spiders that come inside rarely bite,
and if they do cannot cause much
trouble. Such rare bites are best washed
carefully with soap and water, dried.
and covered with tincture of iodine. 1t
will sting, but the pain will shortly dis
appear.
Most indoor spiders can be left un-
touched and untroubled by the world
about them, something that few human
beings can assure themselves, in these
troublesome days. Think twice. therefore,
before you destroy small spider.

This is the time of year the spiders
come in. Warmth and secure food sup
ply appeal to them. It has been said that
a dog is a wolf that has managed to get

No householder should be worried
about these spiders. They are not black,
as is the terrible widow" they seldom
bite. and never get mixed up with ones
food supply. Their own food consists OF
small insects, so that they may be re-
garded as an economic gain.
Yet most persons resent their intru-
ton, and wish they would go away.
Spiders and centipedes are not insects,
in the strict sense. though both belong
to the same general group.
Indoor spiders usually are gray or
milk-wbite. The latter are the smallest,
often living inside lamp shades.
They prefer to drop their lines onto
tables at dusk, hoping to pick up some
of the smallest crawlers.
It is interesting to watch them come
down the line. and see how quickly they
can ascend 1t.
Their speed speaks Of something more

Arlington Town Meeting

AS one of the sponsors of Arlington
County's Town Meeting" feel obliged
to protest the repeated slurs that former
County Board member, Daniel Dugan.
has been casting on the integrity of
that meeting and its sponsors.
The Town Meeting is a completely
open meeting, to which all citizens
of Arlington who believe in non-partisan
local elections may come and help to
select non-partisan candidate. Eight
hundred citizens came last Thursday
night-an even larger and more repre-
sentative meeting than the one that
nominated Mr.. Dugan in 1950-and they
preferred Martha Cannon to Mr..
Dugan as their nominee.
Mr.. Dugan has since lashed out with
a whole series of accusations aimed at
discrediting Mrs. Gammon-including
charges that the meeting was stacked"
and that in some mysterious way the
withdrawal of Robert Meier injured Mr..
Dugan's chances.
Any one who attended the Town Meet
ing will simply recognize those charges
as the outcries of poor loser.
The Town Meeting by its very nature
is a wide-open meeting and cannot be
stacked. Mr.. Dugan knows this as well
as anybody else.
The same Town Meeting that ap-
proved the candidates. of Ivan Booker.
William DeMik, and Ruth Cox simply
could not at the same time approve Mr..
Dugan's record. Mrs. Cannon obviously
satisfied the meeting that she stood for
the same objectives that Town Meeting
nominees have consistently sought in
their campaigns since 1949.

Boost for Civil Service Reforms

Public service at all levels of Government will
benefit from the $150,Oo0 grant of the Ford
Foundation to that old friend and constructive
critic of civil service, the National Civil Service
League. The league has been fighting to abolish
the spoilS system and to expand and improve
the merit system for more than 70 years. Much
of the progress that has been made in the field
of better governmental administration during
those years can be attributed in large measure
to the intelligent and persistent efforts OF the
non-partisan watchdog" organization.
The league has scrutinized governmental
personnel policies and procedures in cities,
counties, States and the Federal establishment.
In recent years it has devoted much OF its
attention to Federal civil service reform. Always
it has held to the theory that it is possible for
governmental bureaucracy" to be just as ef1l-
cient as a private industry. 1t has contended
that political patronage and political pressures
are factors that must be eliminated from personal
selection and management If governmental ef1-
cheney is to be increased.
The leagues most recent activities have
been devoted largely to supporting the Hoover
Commissions recommendations for civil service
reform-particularly the proposals for removing
misunderstanding, internal revenue collectors and
several other groups of Federal employees from
the field of political patronage. The internal
revenue men were placed under the merit system
by a new reorganization law, but the post
masterships were not touched.

There can be no doubt that some sort
of communication can be worked up
between spider and human.
This Is not so easily done between a
true insect, such as a fly, and q person,
though some Office workers try to make
pets out of them.
One downtown worker claims to have
fed certain fly for weeks. He left it a
peppermint drop every day. If the
creature ate any. Of it, the loss was not
visible the next morning. but it showed
every interest in the odor, at least.
This particular fly came to sad end
It's human friend, not wishing to at
tract attention to it, carefully refrained
from saying anything about it.
One day an Office mate, in converse
ton, suddenly exclaimed, THAT blamed
f1y!" and swatted it to death.
The other said nothing.
What was the use then? He should
have spoken up before. It was another
example Of hindsight.
Many downtown Offices have moths
fly in at night, and remain on desks
and the inside of windows.
Sometimes quite large ones fly up as

A. No one knows. Some have conjec-
tured that the meteorite lies buried un-
derneath the crater, but drilling to a
depth Of 1876 #. failed to discover it.
Others believe that it vaporized on con-
tact and broke up into fragments. The
crater may be all of 5000 years old.

Maybe 1t Is Too Big

The Army's new atomic cannon Is big,
powerful and overwhelmingly impressive to the
layman But most laymen will wonder If this
modern big Bertha" is not too big to be OF much
use to the Army under usual conditions of mobile
warfare. Could it be that General Bradley had
this gun in mind when he warned our allies
recently not to put too much reliance in atomic
weapons as substitute for conventional arms
and methods?
. The atomic gun has an 11-inch bore, is more
than 40 feet long, weighs IS tons and is trundled
around on two motor tractors. Whereas the
AEF naval guns of World War were transported
on rails, the atomic artillery piece can travel
over ordinary highways and bridges and across
fields ordnance officers state. 1t can fire either
conventional shells or the atomic variety. 1t is
designed to lay down an atomic barrage against
advancing enemy troops, at distances up to 20
miles. Its designers stressed its maneuverability
But the atomic weapon with the greatest
maneuverability is, Of course the airplane. And
atomic rockets have far greater range than
any artillery piece. Evidently anticipating such
comments, the Army points out that the atomic
gun, unlike aircraft, can deliver its blow in any
kind of weather, day or night, and with pin
point accuracy. The Air Force could counter
with the comment that planes can fly over
muddy terrain that would frustrate any heavy
motorized equipment.
Anyway, it is plain that the Army is making
progress in its efforts to keep abreast of atomic
warfare developments. Further research may
bring q smaller atomic shell, capable of being
fired from less massive and even more maneu-
verable gun. The usefulness of atomic artillery
thus would be vastly increased In the meantime,
it is reassuring to learn from Air Force Secretary
Finletter that most Air Force planes are being
equipped to carry atomic bombs and that close
tactical air support of ground armies is one Of
the major missions of A-bomb-carrying planes.
The Armys big A-gun should be an effective
potential supplement to the atomic plane when
special circumstances warrant its use.
