EIGHT LEG-G-ED CHAMPIONS Re g. McEachen, XIA Have you ever considered where the champion atlhletes of the world are to be found? Men have achieved wonders with their brains and hands, but in physical strength they are left far behind the insects. I suppose we could call the elephant the worlds greatest weight lifter. He can carry larg- er and heavier articles than any other animal, ibut look at his size. If he had to carry his own weight he would barely be able to walk with it. There is a certain field ant that has been known to hold in its jaws something three thousand times its o-wn weight. Ants also are champion climbers. They can carry flies and other insects three times heavier than themselves over walls a dozen feet high. Tlhe 'building feats of these animals are also very great. Some of their building feats, view in relation to size, make America's biggest skyscrapers seem not so wonderful after all. Taking an ants height as one-quarter of an inch by erecting five feet and sometimes larger pyramids, as some of them -do, they construct buildi-ngs 240 times their own size. If men six feet tall were to build on the same scale we should have buildings 1,480 feet high. It is interesting to picture what would happen if these insects. were to grow to human size, but fortunately for ourselves, there is no danger of it really happening. -..gd1'1lg,..- CLASS PROPHECY XII-A As the three hoboes crawled out from under their first-class pullman coach in the railroad yards at Sydney, they were espied and pursued by rug- ged railroad detective Mike March, known as the Hobo's Terror. Successful in eluding their per-suer, they pooled their resources to hire Jimmy Campbell 'S rickshaw to drive them t.o the Elite Cafe owned and operated by John Mac- Dougall. They were served by the singing waiter Roy Turnbull who by this time was beginning to rival the illustrious headliner at the 4 Sz 5 Club, Malcolm CSugerthroatJ Maclnnis. Due to pecuniary difficulties, they were forcibly' ejected fby bouncer Sam Newman, former Whitiiey Pier weight lifting cham- pion. Having been slightly injured in the fracas, they were noticed by the S. P. C. A. and an ambulance, driven by Norman MacDonald, and accompanied by his perennial passenger Dave Rogers, business-seeking mortician. They were registered at the desk by the receptionist Betty Mac'Lennan, and taken to the operating room in the elevator by interne Charlie MacLellan. They were prepared for operating by nurses Eileen and Shirley Young. The two resident veterinarians Cyril Dalton and Charles Ferguson, unable to diagnose the condition of the ho-boefs., called in for consultation the learned Drs. Sid Mif- flin and Alex Maclsaac who have lost more patients between than screen ac- tress Hughena MacLean has boy friends. The Drs. could not reach a decision so the patients were discharged. 61
