Ay From the beaver man learned to ag dams. From the bird he is! ( trying to learn how to fly. Other) |, go Nike F members of the animal kingdom / have taught him much that is use-/ “ In the revelations of the inner} processes of the Mutual Life In- surance Company there are indi- cations that its managers went to the ant for instruction and took the) int hill community, that perfect] ample of a co-operative colony,| as a model. In the ant hill the division of labor has been highly specialized. Some | meinbers are assigned to do nothing but gather food. They are the agents gathering premiums, Some act as soldiers to protect the colony from predatory attacks from without by hostile forces like legislatures. Some “serve as liv and are seen greatly distended with syndicate honey the jpated” in, But in the ant hill there is this difference, that these insect “storehouses” are forced to disgorge for the common benetit, Some ants have wings, and these form the Me- Curdy class in the ant hill community. The food gatherers, according to the high authority whose facts are followed here, pursue the aphides, or plant lice, in search of the honey | dew they secrete. “To secure it they even climb high trees, They fol- Jow the aphides about so as to catch the sweet excretion, and even stroke | them to hasten its expulsion.” The plant lice are the policy-holders, and the picture of the ant life agents at work is a graphic one. There are robber ants and driver ants, travelling ants, the bills for Whose trips are presumably charged to the colony; nest-building anta whose homes are “composed of a variable number of chambers and gal- | Neries.” Ants “show great care for their growing young” and “solicitude for their companions.” “Certain groups perform only certain labors,” and the head of the hill presumably knows nothing of cashiers’ vouchers or actuarial duties, It is said also of the ants by this competent authority that “the com- Plete suppression of the individual for the good of the community almost passes man’s comprehension.” The Mutual has improved on that. Its imitation of the ant hill has not been slavish, Like Japan in adopting the ideas of Western civilization, it has exercised diseretion, Similarly it has expanded the functions of the “soldier” ants to meet more complex requirements. These no longer mergly stay on the scene ready to resist attack, The ants have not “forty-five legislatures” on their hands, and in the more primitive conditions there is no need for houses of entertainment at State capitals and no occa vices of a Fields or a Hamilton, sion for the ser- The simultaneous appearance in the city news of six cases of larceny, defalcation, embezzlement or similar crimes of dishonesty by women will inevitably raise the question whether the quality of feminine character is deteriorating. It is to be borne in mind in all such dicussions that the number of women in business or other employment in the nation is now nearly 6,000,000, an increase of more than 4,000,000 within ten years, Their temptations have multiplied, but there is no reason to believe that their standard of honesty has declined, dceesieincnitiomenecniiaes Mr. Murphy denies that he is interested then, did he get it?
