Pleader."
The days have gone when men
found it easy to believe stories of
human beings changing itno wolves
or fish and birds and all he avenge me-
tamorphoses of the old legends and
fairy tales. Yet all around us insects
are making changes just as surprising
all day and every day.
What could be less like a caterpillar
or grub than a butterfly or moth? The
caterpillar is an ugly, often repulslve
creature with an enormous appetite,
Which orawls slowly along. The butter-
fly is the spirit of light and life, tree
as air to fly to and fro and living
usually on a few sips of the juice of
flowers. yet every butterfly wasa
caterpillar once.
Cioadas are creatures of the sun-
shine, which "sing through the hot-
test day, perahecl in some bush or
tree, Yet fu their grub stage they
spend long periods, years in some
eases, in darkness underground.
Manyinsects are truly amphibious.
Like frogs they spend part of their
lives in the water and part in the air.
Such are the dragon -flies, the mos-
quitoes, -which the dragon-tiies eat,
iplay-flies and caddie -flies. Like tad-
poles the larvae of dragon -flies have.

A GREAT SOUL
A distinguished characteristic of a
great soui.is that it hungers for Some-
thing about it; it -aspires, never
grovels, because it has gotten a
glimpse of the real glory of life.
In Berlin a motorist drove into a
group of 27 people, injuring 17 of
them. He is convinced that he could
Improve on *hese figures if he used'
tions. They have brought division' of
labor to a fine point, have well -marked
social classes and show wonderful in-
genuity, resource and readiness to
sacrifice themselves for the good of
the community.
In numbers and variety, of coinse,
the insects easily surpass all the other
inhabitants of the earth. The human
population of the globe is still well
under 2,000,C'),OJO, but insects swarm
in numbers 'past all reckoning, There
are tho.tsands t•f thousands of them to
every hu an being.
Ants, bees, and wasps are Isy no
means the only building insects. There
are, for instan,,e, the caddie-flies—
which I ha' al' eeiy n,' utioned-and
some other_ ins: •ia. 'hese spend the
early part co ?h .:r li ?. in the water,
and the Lnt:'r 10 ri:e
Most of the Cadl:e•woruis build for
themselves port..ble houses or cases
under water. They make them out of
sticks, leaves or grains of sand. Others
more ambitious make fixed houses
out of tiny pebbles. And there are
nomadic caddie -worms which build no
houses at all, simply stroll about an
the bottom.
When their time comes to change
into caddie -flies the creatures leave
the water an -1 spend the rest of their
life in the upper air. The males of
one species are snow-white, and are
sometimes seen flying together in
thousands in upland districts.
Most saddle -worms live in fresh
water streams and tvaterholes, but
they is a marine caddie -worm which
makes eases utt of odds and ends at
the bottom of the sea.
Dragon -flies have not much in corn -
mon with cad -dies except their
toub life. T- -y, too, live in the
water when young, and in the air in
later life, when they have acquired
wings.
Though dragon -flies are sometimes
called "horse -stingers," they do not
sting horses, or anything else. They
are indeed very useful creatures, since
they eat quantities of mosquitoes and
other insect pests.
Many of the larvae of dragonflies
breathe by means of gills. Like the
caddie -worms they leave the water
later, and fly about as winged insects.
Some species ofdragonflies are ex-
ceedingly swift of flight; in fact, it is
claimed that they are the fastest in-
sects in the world. They dart up and
dOwn streams at tremendous speed.
Dr. R, J. Tillyard, who 'wrote a book
about dragon -flies, devoted some at-
tention to timing their flights, and
cane to the conclusion that the In-
sect of one species can do nearly 60
miles an hour. There are many
species of birds that probably do not
go as East.
Some Australian dragon -flies grow
to a groat size One of them, found,
in mountain country in New South
Wales, measured 61A aches across the
wings, and is one of the largest drag-

SOME women suffer more
than others. Often, when there
isn't any need! Thepains
peculiar to women may be re-
lieved as readily as other pains
for which Aspirin is intended.
These tablets are always a big
help at such times, and never
the least bit harmful. (Aspirin
does not depress the heart.)
Of course, you are familiar
with the use of Aspirin for
headache. It brings such prompt
relief that sudden headaches
needn't upset your plans. It
will check a cold, or ease the
sorest throat; and comfort the
worst sufferer from neuritis and
neuralgia.
When • your head aches—
from any cause—when a cold
has settled in your joints or you
feel those deep -down pains of
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago,
take Aspirin and you can count
on real relief.

RainyNight
By Daniel Whitehead Ricky
This is a night for long remember-

Light up the fire and watch each
ripening spark
Drift like a firefly where the chim-
ney sings
With all the purple mystery of the
dark.
This is a night for books. Turn to
a page
That throbs with Aprils that were
lost; go deep
In folded letters yellowing with age;
A night of rain is not a night for
Sleep.
Pile up the hearth with cedar boughs
and listen
To alive music flashing- on the
Pane;,
Speak long -forgotten words, and they
will glisten
Wrapped in their vanished glory
once again.
Turn back the clock, and till the
break of dawn
Your heart will beat with hours that
aro gone.
The brave man carves out his for-
tune, and every man as the son of his
' own works.—Cert antes.
