One of the most common and troublesome household species, known as the red ant, or Pharaoh's ant, confines itself entirely to heated buildings such as bakbries, restaurants and houses, This tiny, reddish-yellow ant had its origin in the tropics. The common large black carpenter ant, although normally an outdoor species nesting principally itt decaying wood, fre- quently occurs itt dwelling, particular- ly frame houses and summer cottages, and may cause injury to woodwork as well aS annoyance by its presence, A third ,common species is the stall yel- lowish -brown lawn ant, which nests in lawns and gardens, often entering. houses in search of`food, Ants are social in their habits, and live together in colonies, The major - YOUNG AMERICAN BECOMES BUDDHIST* James Stewart, 24 -year-old Berkley, Calif., youth is shown as he read the ritual of his newly adopted faith, Buddhism, in the Sin Sect Temple here.

Each colony also possesses one or more true females or "queens" which are responsible for the generation of new individuals. The white, helpless, larvae and pupae which develop from eggs laid by the "queen" are cared for by the workers which may be seen transporting them to a- place of safety when the nest is threatened with dan- ger. Ants which enter dwellings will feed on many kinds of foodstuffs, but are particularly fonds of sweet and fatty substances. The most satisfactory material so far discovered -for destroying ants is sodium fluoride, sold by druggists in the form of a fine white powder. This powder should be scattered or dusted lightly in places frequented by the ants and left undisturbed until the in- sects have disappeared. As sodium fluoride is somewhat poisonous care should be taken to prevent children or pets from gaining access to it. "Dad, how can guns kick when they have no legs?" asked Bertie.
