A—10 ’ "NKHAM URG[S | Ants Build Hazards on African Golf Course MUD HUMPS ALSO ARE MENTAL HANDICAPS. ARMS EXPORT B Claims Roosevelt Obeys British Dictation and Opposes It. By the Assoclated Press. Representative Tinkham, Repub- lican, of Massachusetts stepped for- ward as a champion of neutrality leg- islation in the House today after de- nouncing the administration for “toadying” to wishes of the British foreign office. Advocating legislation prohibiting the export of arms to any country engaged in a war to which the United States is not a party, Tinkham de- clared the President and Secretary of State disapprove of such a law be- cause “the British foreign office is opposed” to it. He said he would introduce a bill barring arms exports. Says President Opposed. “Both the President and the De- partment of State,” Tinkham said in a statement yesterday, “are opposed to legislation providing for strict neu- | trality of the United States in the | next war, a war which is llre-dy{ beginning to loom on the European horizon. A It's only. another step forward to believing Herodotus and his tale of ants as hig as foxes, when you dis- cover that the picture shows the most unusual golf course in the world.

According to the best entymological authorities they do a distinct service for humanity, by way of turning up, over, and aerating the soil. At this time of year, however, when they are swarming into kitchens for a nip of strawberry preserves, or establishing themselves in miniatur “Such legislation (banning arms shipments) would prevent Great, Britain from using the United States | as an arsenal for her war supplies | in the next war, as was the case in 1914-1918, and also would tend to prevent Great Britain from again in- | volving the United States in war for | her purposes.” Tinkham said the House Foreign Affairs Committee recently approved | a bill providing for assembling of sta- tistical information on the arms traf- | fic. But, he contended, President | Roosevelt, through the State Depart- | ment, opposed an amendment to bar arms exports to any country engaged in a war to which the United States The amendment, “strict was not a party he said, would have meant peutrality” for this country. Tinkham said British foreign office eontrol of the President and State Department was shown, among other things, by Mr. Roosevelt's declarations about the Italo-Ethiopian controversy, following & call of the British Ambas- sador at the State Department, which “synchronized with declarations of British policies in the House of Com- mons.” Harvesters (Continued Prom First Page.) | relief work joined harvest crews. In instances where farmers lacked money | to pay the hands, the Federal Emer- gency Administration lent funds. Even with this help, however, the ehortage today was still acute in some places. In Iowa, where enough help couldn’t be found, women went to the flelds to help. Children old enough to | be of use were enlisted. Younger ones | took over many of their mothers’ duties cooking huge quantities of food for the workers. | In South Dakota the demand for hands continued, with additional re- quests for women to cook for the laborers. Every trick of farming was being emplayed. One farmer with 680 acres | of wheat worked his men 24 hours a day in shifts. In Missouri and Kansas farmers, fighting wet, muddy fields, were forced to modify standard binder equipment in some instances to get wheat in shock. Many growers puti sled runners on their binders, mounted & small r on the rear to operate the reel and blades and added another herse or two to compensate for the | additional drag. The hot, humfld‘ weather killed many horses. | In Nebraska the battle was almost | over. Cutting and threshing was com pleted in the east and central sections | and combines were moving in the west end. The supply of help was adequate, State relief chiefs reported, with the rolls well cleaned up by the harvest demand. Minnesota’s sons of the soil were pressing ahead and appeared to be conquering with the aid of lahor re- leased from projects. Authorities said | relief clients were generally agreeable to the decree of help or lose their relief status. In the Dakotas the rush was coming to a head. South Dakota farmers were taking all the help they could get at $2 to $2.50 a day, plus board and room. These rates were about the game as for the rest of the Northwest wheat territory, although some places the wage ranged down to $1. In North Dakota relief rolls won't be trimmed until August 2, when the heavy harvest-hand demand is ex- pected, but officials said today they expected the shutdown to provide suf- ficient labor to harvest the crop.

It's no wonder that a certain Wash- ington lady. according to rumor, phoned the Zoo frantically the other day to inquire whether she might bor- row a tapir and attendant for the afternoon, to ramble around her lawn and snoot a bit in her pantry. But our troubles with them today must be nothing compared to what they may have been in the time of Herodotus, Greek historian of the fifth century, B.C. He describes them, naively, as “in, size, somewhat less indeed than dogs, but larger than no other animal” In fact, he con- tinues, relating particularly of a species of ant common on a certain Persian desert, “the ants fight furiously, pur- suing those that run away and, if they seize them, kill them and their beasts of burden.” Further, it seems, these ancient ancestars of oyr modern pismire fur- nished “skins as large as those of leopards,” horns quite worthy of being hung up in a warrior's hallway, and were “in color like & cat.” A nest of those gargantuan terrors, if the fiction were true, might prove rather more difficult to get rid of thaa is indicated in Farmers’ Bulletin 740. on House and Lawn Ants, issued by the Department of Agriculture. It details this excellent advice on their kinds and the best-known methods of putting them under control. If you've got only a’few nests of lawn ants, pour boiling water on them | or squirt & small quantity of kerosene down their holes with a syringe or ofl can. If this doesn’t do the trick, use disulphide of carbon, a chemical purchasable at any drug store. If the hole is too small to inject the chemical properly, ream it out with a stick so you can insert the spout down about 2 inches below the surface. Put —The Topical Press Agency. your foot over the nest entrance for s few minutes to permit thorough penetration of the vapors. It's a good idea to spread a wet blanket or cloth over the hole then, to retain the fumes. They smell pretty bad, but are poisonous only to the ants. In the case of house ants, the kind which nest in your woodwork, mason- ry, or articles of furniture, eradica- tion is a bit more complicated. Try to trace them back to their source by following the workers back to their point of disappearance. If you find this, give them the kerosene or di- sulphid again. If the nest is under flooring, you may have to take up a section. Then spray them completely and inject the coal oil or chemical if possible. As a rule, unless the colony can thus be reached and destroyed, any other measures are only temporary relief if food or other conditions con- tinue to attract the ants and facili- tate their continued breeding in the house. It's hardly necessary, of course, to add the warning that both kero- sene and disulphide of carbide are highly inflammable. Keep all fire away from them. 90-FOOT DIVE FATAL AT SAN DIEGO FETE Death Is Second in 2 Days in Stunts in Southern California. By the Associated Press.
