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.

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?"
