Lead is the metal most COM
monty sought by the metal work.
ers of the insect kingdom. Tin,
zinc and the quicksilver lining
of mirrors are eating bars for
these destroyers..
The most extensive and seri-
Gus injury to metals by insects
is that caused to lead sheathing
of cables. Such damage occurs
throughout the world, costing
millions of dollars. Injury is also
caused to the tubular lead tele-
phone fuses by the hide and
larder beetles (DermestesD.
The purpose of the fuse is to
protect the telephone apparatus
from high voltage and its action
is to blow or melt, thus prevent
ing more damage. The metal
worker eats through the lead.
making 1t imperative to replace
the fuses.
Various species of Bostrichid
powder-post beetles occur
throughout the world. They work
"a hours a day destroying lead
cables. Some husky relatives have
been reported in Turkey. Their
offspring have flourished on both
shores of the Golden Horn.
The California lead cable borer
normally seeks felled trees or
cordwood. "Cat-faces" on living
wood are evidence of their I'M
welcome presence. Their action
is to reduce the wood to powder
like consistency and when their
job is completed they move to
another tree. When they attack
host trees living in the city;
such as oaks. orange wood,
acacia, eucalyptus and elm, they
do a lot of damage.
It is claimed that the cause
that urges metal workers to bore
into lead cables is that Of con-
tact, or thigmoNopism. The
beetles emerge from infested
wood at irregular intervals after
a long period Of restless activity.
The damage during the spring
and summer months is not dis
covered until the autumn rains
cause short circuits. This calls
out the trouble men" who must
locate the holes by the electrical
gadget known as the Wheat
stone Bridge" The trouble
shooter plugs up the holes and
all is we'll again.

"Abel won the trick"
MIR. Muzzy claimed the queen
Of clubs came from the dummy
but he was finally overruled.
Even he could see that he had to
lose three diamonds and a spade
for down one. Now he had lost
q club in addition.
When order was restored Mr..
Abel continued with the jack Of
clubs. This time Mr.. Muzzy
couldn't help winning with the
ace. He led heart to dummy's
ten and returned the jack Of

with the queen and the ace won.
Dummy was entered again with
the jack of hearts and on the
king of clubs Mr.. Muzzy dis
carded his last spade.
Still wearing a hopeless look,
he now led dummy's 10 of spades
and ruffed in his hand when
Mr.. Champion covered with the

him on the board again to lead

girl on the sidewalk few feet away from
Nancy. The girls face, lifted to his, was
beautiful now; her eyes dazzled; she seemed
lit up like star. Hello - she said breath

Nancy could not move. They looked SO
beautiful and exciting together. Suddenly,
she was back in time to the gay, carefree
world she lived in before Joe had ever existed
for her. 1t had been only two years ago.
Then, she had met young men in converti-

all the latest songs spinning brightly inside
her head. They had gone to cocktail bars
and foreign restaurants and then on to some
dimly-lit fashionable place to dance dreamily
to siIlten music.

few moments on the street, she had no idea
at all that in little while she would be fas-
cinated by young man other than her
husband.
The truth was that, although she was
little tired after her long day of secretarial
work, the sight of Park Avenue with its wink
ing lights and streaming cars was lively and
exciting. She wished suddenly that she and
Joe were going to some gay night spot where
there was music and dancing instead of their
three-room fiat for commonplace dinner
of meatballs and spaghetti.
She turned her head and saw Joe, waiting
for her as usual under the street lamp. She
felt an instant remorse. He looks tired, she
thought. His face seemed little too thin,
his eyes little too old.
She went over quickly to him. H" ," she

her attention was caught by the young man.
HE WAS standing in front Of a low-slung

He was tall and bareheaded, and his arms
were crossed easily over his chest as he leaned
against the side of the car.
Nancy thought: He's the handsomest man
I've ever seen. But it was more than his
