Music Was A Cinch For UttPe Fritz "1 was born with music in illy eystein. I knew musical scores instinctively before I sinew my ABC. It was a gift of Providence. I did not acquire 11." "One day, when I was three and a half years old, I was stand - mg 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 mast play these three notes?' I asked. Patiently he took a sheet of pa- per, drew "thio five lines of a musical staff; and explained what each note meant; when written between of • on given lines. He also shots ed 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 et once what he was trying to teach tee. And so it carne about that I literally rouid read music before I learned my AI3C." Fritz heard music 411'l unity from the moment of. his birth in Vienna on Feb. 2, 1876. "lather really was a frustrated musi- cian." he said. "He heat begged his father, an architect, to let him choose music as his life's work, but in those days that of a Musician was nMit considered. a "gentlemanly' profession nor a 'bread and butter' career. So ley father turned to medicine. "Ile had no sooner established himself as a general practitioner, ia)weger, Thal± 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 --- would come to our home, At one time the quartet colitisted, besides my father, of the. local chief of /Alice, a druggist, and the head of +h4. '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 sour notes, I would flee with a shudder and lock myself up in en adjacent room." Finally, one day when the tot Was four years old, one of the players insisted that Fritat was truly musical, and that he ought to have a real violin.. .. So he presented the beaming beg with 4 miniature fiddle. "It Was 4 toy violin,°' 1Pritu re- ealls, "but not 00 much Of s toy that it could not produce sounds ea btok I 'r'sategnitrttd When putllind 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 Iny ad- miring father, -who forthwith be- gan to give me lessons." -.Tion "Fritz Kreisler," by Louis P Loeiun'r. Two of three girls, who had grown up together, married, and thereafter they continually an- iroycc1 their spinster friend with tactless remarks about her un- happy condition. She laughed off their contents until. one day they went a bit too far. "Now tell us truthfully," they twitted her, "have you ever re- ceived a proposal of marriage?"

Could .insect, ever vele our vcmrXd? Those who have watched the inditstr;v of ants, or studied the marvellous powers of the honey- bee, will not wonder for very lone. Anyone tube has seen the sun blotted out by ewarnxing, all devouring locusts will know where the answer Iies. 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 to- gether 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 nillttln deaths a year. It affects a duvet 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; Both are carried by the dreaded tsetse fly. True, mucic 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 teeming billions of insects are to be kept at bay. Fabulous Breeding Rate For, 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 eases 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 marvelllous 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 burse 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 which build them — far more impos- ing, relatively, than the most wondrous of our monuments No Laughing Matter Then reflect; for a inornent, on the physical strength of an ordinary earwig -- Samson of the insect world. The tough lit- tle fellow, it has' been proved, can move 530 times his own weight. Could a men exercise equal pulling powers, he would be able • to haul a twenty -ton wagon loaded with ten 4,000 Ib. cars - a total of nearly thirty- eight tons! • "The thought of e '•-orlti al- most completely overrun by in- sects may strike us as Media- .able," ete„ i - able," writes A.

Peri/ Front The San Then, thirteen million years ago, most of the world was 5 hot, steamy swamp. Conditidhs were ideal for insects, many of which had wings several feel. long and bodies as thick as a man's arm. Impressions of huge cockroaches and of dragonflies 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 them may have reached the size of some of our present-day animal heavy- weights. One of the largest: insects found to -day is the fearsome looking, three -horned Rhino - ems Beetle. It grows to two - and -a -half inches long; but its •forbearers might well have been as big as a horse and, if the Carboniferous Age had not con- veniently elided, giving way to colder conditions, it might have gone on developing until it out- grew anything that ever walked the earth! Now -- here's the point to note astronomers ane physi- cists agree that the tun is al- ready growing hotter, than fn the course if time, before the world becomes a white-hot eio der, its oceans will boll and land amasses will turn into steamy, odorous jungle, or scorched desert.
