The insect’s habitat has beén tropical and’ warm ‘clim- ates, but has oriented itself colder climes, for northern cities are now seriously infested for the first time with termites. The article follows: “The termite is a pallid, squashy little bug which would be of no importance whatever were it not for its depraved appetite. It likes to eat wood. That taste makes it immensely important to building} owners in tropical and warm tem-} perate regions. Termites do year- ly damage estimated at $29,000,- 000 to farm buildings in the South. Seven years ago they be- gan to alarm California. Last week Entomologist George Ethel- bert Sanders ‘of the American! Museum of Natural History sent) a shiver through New York City by waking it to the fact that for the first time it is seriously infest- ed with termiets. “There are over 1,200 species | | of termite, some 40; of them in the!

Lately some builders, | believing the insects will not) cross them, have used glass bricks | to top their walls. { “In the United States termites are commonly called “white jants.” But they are not ants and are not always white. Termites may be readily distinguished by | the absence of a “waist” or con- |Striction where abdomen joins thorax.

Owner and master of the vessel is Overton Menger and with him are J. B. McFaddén and Stephen Jennings. They will spend sev- eral days fishing in these waters and afterwards sail for Spanish Honduras and other Central and South American ports after which they will continue the voyage to New Orleans. The “Sturdy” once caused a stir in the maritime world when, in 1928, the then owner, Edward Miles, of Memphis, Tenn., started on a voyage from west to east to circumnavigate the globe, Captain Miles carried no com- panion on the voyage. He was satisfied that the adventure would be successful and proved its feasi- {the social scale are the king and |queen. They have wings and re- | produce.

These two castes are sterile and of both sexes, unlike ants whose females do all the work and fighting. “Periodically a colony’s young kings and queens swarm out into the open. shed their wings.

LEGALS ‘CAVALCADE’ AT PALACE THEATER EXCELLENT SHOWING OF DRAMA SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW Fox Film Corporation brings “Cavalcade” to the screen of the Palace Theater on Saturday, June This drama, whose theme is the effect of world events on the home and family, has been hailed as the greatest written in the English language in a score of years. The author, Noel Coward, known for his successes, enjoyed the distinc- tion of having his play run for a solid year at the Drury Lane The- ater in London. A staff of experts was sent from Hollywood to see the play and to photograph it for refer- ence. Another large staff was put to work on the research necessaty to bring a story that covers the period from 1900 to 1933 to the screen with absolute accuracy of costumes, equipment and historical backgrounds. More than six months of pre- 200 preceded the actual start of production. Captain Reginald C. Berkeley, distinguished English playwright, was brought over from screen. Frank Lloyd, twice win- ner of the Academy award for the best production of the year, was chosen as director.
