ANDY HICKS' FEET TO BLAME FOR LOSS OF CRERAR SPEECH Andy Had Good Intentions, but He Forgot Mr. Crerar's Grip Con- taining His Figures on Railways (Monday's Toronto Globe) To Andrey ,Hicks', feet is directly attributable Ontario's loss in not having had from Hon. T. A. Crerar, Progres- sive Leader, a discussion of Canadian railway problems. When the U.

It does this by Malting a cone-shaped pit in the 'sand, These Pits aro about an Inch deep and two inches agrees, When it is complete tlhe,ant Boa buries itself In the very center, with only its head and strong -curved mandibles in sight, It then patiently awalts the curious acts. Ants are Paul Prys, and have n tremendous curiosity. The 11t- tle depression attracts their attention, and they come to its edge and peer .down into It. The larva at once starts into a fury of .action. It begins a digging opera- tion and at the sable tine hurls grains of sand in all directions. The sand thus tossed begins to roll ^down the depression and carries with It other grains of sand until o. miniature land- slide results. The curious ant Is caught in the/ slide and goes tumbling down to th center where the hard, sharp mandibles of the !ton seize it, and the poor•victim is shaken back and forth until it is dazed, whereupon the Ilon proceeds to dine with relish, tossing the empty husk of body outside the hole, once the meal is over. arily moved /the grip to the sidewalk, but subsequently forgot all about it, When the party drove off, the grip remained just where Mr. Hicks had left it, and Mr, Hicks' feet reposed in com- parative roomy comfort in .the rear seat of the Ford, In the grip were Hon, Mr. 'Crerar's papers containing railway statistics, with which he probably would have dealt at Shelburne.
