The former King Edward, now
Duke of Windsor, it•ns never one
to do things by halves. His fa-
vourite golf story is about an
American who halved a bole un-
der the to es t unusual circum
stances. It was during the 1934
B.eitisll Open at Prestwick, Eng-
land, when Jesse Guilford of Bos-
ton was paired against Jock Mc-
Lean in a hotly contested match.
On the fourteenth tee, Jesse took
a terrific cut at the ball and sent
it sailing far down the faieway
only to see it land in a sand trap.
Undaunted, he called for his nib-
lick and played the shot full, exe-
cuting a powerful swing that sent
the ball high into the air and
out of sight. Jcsr ,joined his
caddy in searching; for the ball,
and a couple of helpful spectators
pitched into the hunt as well.
Finally, after several minutes had
passed, a voice called out, "It's
h • e Jesse. Right over here,"
Guilford walked in the diree-
tlon indicated but before he
reached the ball's r,..sting place
another voice near the green, call-
ed, "Here's. the hall, Jesse. Over
this way."
Jesse scratched his head for a
moment, trying to figure out
which of the helpful galleryites
was wrong. Suddenly, he heard
a roar of laughter from the spec-
tators, and shi • vent
over to a little circle near.
'110 which had first been point-
ed out for him. In a moment, the
mystery was cleared, and Jesse
laughed longer .end .der than
anyone else. He'd played an
amazing shot out y that sand
trap, for he'd hit that ordinary
golf ball in two directions at the
same time. More specifically, he 'cl
split it in two, sending the halves
of the golf ball to opposite sides
of 1110 fairway.
While most ordinary golfers
would have placed a new ball
without a penalty stroke, Guil-
ford played it the hard way, put-

ikausic Was A Cinch
For Little Fritz
"1 was born with music in my
system. I knew musical scores
instinetively before I knew my
ABC. It was a gift of Providence,
I did not acquire it," . , ,
"One day, when I was three
and a half years old, I was stand-
ing next to my father as he play-
ed a Mozart string quartet with
his friends. It started out with
the notes D. 13. G,
'How do you know you. must
play these three notes?' I asked.
Patiently he took a sheet of pa-
per, drew the five lines of a
musical staff, and explained what
each note meant when written
between or on given lines. He
also showed how a note was rais-
ed or lowered by a half -tone by
the use of the sharp' and 'fiat'
signs, and how fractional notes
are indicated.
"I understand at once what
he was trying to teach me. And
so it came about that I literally
could read music before. I learned
my ABC."
Fritz heard 111118)(1 virtually
from the moment of his birth in
Vienna on Feb. 2, 1.876, "Father
really was a frustrated musi-
cian," he said, "He had begged
his father, an architect, to let
him choose music as his life's
work, but in those days that of
a musician was not considered
a "gentlemanly' profession nor
a 'bread and butter' career. So
any father turned to medicine.
"Ile had no sooner established
himself as a genual practitioner,
however, than he.formed a string
quartet with a few kindred :souls.
.Every Saturday afternoon these
men"--full-bearded like my father,
as was the custom of the time.-
woudd come to our home. At
one time the quartet consisted,
besides my father, of the local
chief of police, a druggist, and
the head of chi. fire department;
at another time of a notary pub-
lic, a produce merchant, and a
police commissioner" ,
Chuckling reminiscently, Fritz
continued: "When the quartet
produced sora' notes, I would flee
with a shudder and lock myself
Up in an adjacent room"
1'lnally, one day when. the tot
was four years old, one of the
players insisted that Fritz was
truly musical, and that he ought
10 have a teal violin... , &o he
presented the beaming boy With
a miniature fiddle.
"It wan a toy violin," Fritts re -
eats, "but not 0o nsuch of a toy
,ghat it could not produce tsounda
verlatiailt, I tedeignierad ahem pealing
the bow across the strings. From
that time on, the quartet was in-
creased by another musician, for
I insisted upon taking my place
with the others and playing my
tiny instrument. One evening, as
we were playing the national
anthem, the others stopped quite
suddenly*, but I, engrossed in my
performance, never noticed it and
continued in perfect tune and
time, I am told, to the end."
"It was decided then and there
that I was a musical 'marvel,' and
the next day I had a genuine lit-
tle violin, purchased by my ad-
miring father, who forthwith be-
gan to give me lessons."—From
"Fritz l reisler," by Louis 1)
Lochner,
Two of three girls, Who tied
grown up together, married, and
thereafter they continually an-
noyed their spinster friend with
tactless remarks about her un-
happy condition. She laughed off
their comments until one clay
they went a bit too far.
"Now tell us truthfully," they
twitted her, "have you ever r0-
ceived a proposal of marriages"
With a withering smile she re-
torted, "Suppose you nsk ;your
husbands."

Those who have wateilecl the
industry of ants, Or studied the
marvellous' powers of the 'honey-
bee, will not wonder for Very
long, Anyone who has seen the
sun blotted out by swarming,
all devouring locusts will know
where rise answer lies.
For the frightening truth is
that insects and there are
600,000 known species of them
are more formidable than all
the nations of the earth put 10-
ge l:um and multiplied by ten.
Unless their increase can be
checked, they will ultimately
wipe out civilization.
Already, recent statistics show
that by their transmission of
disease insects are responsible
for half the mortality of man -
,kind. They also consume enough
food, both growing and stored,
to maintain another 200,000,000
of human population on earth,
Malaria is directly respon-
sible for at least four million
deaths a year. ,It affects a third
of the world's .population
and malaria is carried by mos-
quitoes, No less malign, and
equally responsible for millions
of deaths, are sleeping Sickness
and nagana ---- its cattle -attack-
ing version. Beth are carried by
the dreaded tsetse fly.
True, much has been done to-
wards combating malaria with
quinine and other drugs, And the
scourge of sleeping sickness is
being fought by D.D.T. spraying,
But these are only the first
counter-attacks in a battle that
will have to be waged with in-
creasing ferocity for generations
if the toweling billions of insects
are to be kept at bay.
Fabulous Breeding hate
1201', unlike most forms of life,
there is no natural law of com-
pensation by which the propor-
tion of insects destroyed, or dy-
ing from natural causes, ap-
proximates to the fabulous rate
at which they breed. Any sort
of balancing factor -- apart from
rare cases in which insects are
subjects to parasites -- is lack-
ing. They continue to multiply.
What of their intelligence
and reasoning power?
"The brain of an ant," Dar-
win wrote, "Is one of the most
marvellous atoms of matter in
the world, perhaps more so than
the brain of man" And it's per-
fectly true to say that no hu-
man society has ever been so
perfectly organized as that of
the honeybee.
Consider the capabilities of
the ant as an architect and buil-
der alone. The height of the
Great Pyramid of Cheops in
Egypt was, before its base be-
came buried in sand, nearly a
hundred times the height of a
man. Yet the hillocks which ter-
mites erect are 1,000 times high-
er than the tiny creatures winch
build them -•- far more impos-
ing, relatively, than the most
wondrous of our monuments

Then reflect, for a moment,
on the physical strength of an
ordinary earwig -- Samson of

tle fellow, it has been proved,

equal pulling powers, he would

Then, thirteen million years
ago, most of the world was a
hot, steamy swamp.• C"otlditlons
were ideal for insects, many of
Which had wings several feet
long and badie6 as t iek as a
man's arm. Impressions of huge
cockroaches and of clragoniiies
with a wing -span of over two
feet have been found in coal.
And there is good reason to be-
lieve -- though the bodies of in-
sects have no bones and, there-
fore, disintegrate after death --
that many of thein may have
reached the size of some of our
present-day a nim e 7 heavy-

One of the largest insocta
