Halved the Hole,

The former Bing Edward, now

British Open at Press wick, Eng-
land, when Jesse Guilford of .Ros-

Lean in a hotly contested thatch.
On the fotu'teenth tee, Jesse took
a terrific cut at the ball and sent
it sailing far down the fairy: ay
only to see it land in a sand trap.

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

they went a bit too far.
"Now tell us truthfully," they

With a withering senile she re-

of all to his survival, the ter-
rible rllenewe of insect life?
Could .insect, ever vele our

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!

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

ready growing hotter, than fn
the course if time, before the
world becomes a white-hot eio
