That Ely May Be
Somebody's Mother
The Jains, a strict sect of
dissenters from Hinduism, take
"Thou shalt not kill" so serious-
ly that they pick their way so
as not to hurt an ant, and wear
face masks so as not to inhale
a gnat. Science now suggests
that they have something.
A professor at the University
of Pennsylvania whose rather
oddly matched specialties are
.zoology and psychology has
• concluded from research con-
ducted in the United States on
houseflies, in Britain on ants
and in Germany on crickets that
insects are capable of emotion.
The housefly in particular can
feel love, hate, fear and pain.
This will come as some sur-
prise to casual swatters of flies
and squashers of ants, but not
to the science fiction huffs.
They have known all along that
the world will one day he taken
over by insects — either by in-
nasion front Mars or else by a
sudden genetic development
from thr final flash of radiation I
with which mankind writes it-
self off.
At least it's nice to think 1
that this chilling new world will;
not he run entirely as a super-
efficient anthill but will retain
a touch of the illogic and abet-
ration which stem from the
emotions -- and make life
t worth living. — Montreal Stat.

lem in connection with the fair
is to find the member willing
to take on the duties of chair-
man. This point was left over
to the next meeting.

NEEDS SECURITY
One day an Indian came in-
to a bank in Alberta and asked
about a loan, "Me want $200."
"And what security do you
have?"
"Got 8200 horses."
This seemed sufficient sec-
urity and the loan was made.
A short while afterward the
Indian came back with 82, 200
in cash, paid off the note and
started to leave with the rest of
the roll in his pocket.
"Why not let me take care
of that money for you?" asked
the banker,
Looking the banker straight
in the eye, the Indian asked,
"How many horses you got?"
