Not necessarily. For instance, man is the most intelligent mem ber of the animal kingdom, yet his brain is smaller and weighs less than those of some animals Man's brain weighs about 3 pounds, while an elephant's weighs about 10 pounds. The clue to intelligence may be in the cor tex, the surface covering of the brain. Intelligence seems to be related to the amount of folding in the cortex How do ants find their wax ’ Some ants get their bearings from landmarks. Others use the direction of the sun's rays. It has also been found that some ants lay scent trails as they walk along, by touching the tips of their abdomens to the ground from time to time. As they do this they secrete the scent. In some cases scent patches also have a shape thayellsmii^r ants the direction in' v.men the nrsT ant was traveling You can dem onstrate this by reversing a chip or some such object over which a column of ants is passing. The ants at once become confused. It is as if an arrow had been turned backward. Who were the cliff dwellers 0 The cliff dwellers were the an cestors of the Pueblo Indians. They were called the Anasa/i, an Indian word for “Ancient Ones.” The Anasazi lived mainly in the area now known as Four Cor ners — the area where Colorado, New Mexico. Arizona, and Utah meet. The cliff dwellers are re membered for their great stone villages built on the tops of mesas or on the terraced sides of cliffs. Some of these structures stood several stories high Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde National Park in C olorado contained more than 100 rooms. How does night change into das ' I he earth rotates, or spins, on its axis from west to east The di rection of the earth's rotation makes the sun appear to rise in the east and set in the west The earth makes a complete rotation once every 24 hours. This is the earth's day. As each part of the earth faces the sun, it is in day light. As it faces away it is in night. At any one time during the earth's day, about half of the earth is in daylight while the other half is in night. You can show how the earth rotates and how night changes into day Place a lighted flashlight on a table. Hold an orange in the flashlight beam and rotate the orange. The part of the orange lighted by the beam is in daylight, and the other part is in night In the same way, day and night are caused by the earth's rotation The award of a $500 grant to the Presbyterian College library by the Association of College and Research Libraries was an nounced today by the ACRL grants committee. It is one of 76 selected nat ionally from among 410 appli cants. The program by ACRL, a division of the American Library Association, is “designed for im proving the quality of library ser vice to higher education through fundamental research in libra- rianship and otherwise aiding in the best use of the most modern teaching and learning materials.’ PC librarian Lennart Pearson said the grant would be used to purchase books in the field of special education and mental re tardation.

Motorists Reminded About Inspection If you drive a South Carolina- licensed motor vehicle after Feb- ruary 28, make sure it has passed the official safety inspection test, the State Highway Department warned today. On the next day, March 1, the Highway Patrol will begin mak ing cases against all motorists whose vehicles bear license plates ending in the digits “1* or “2", if these vehicles are not displaying the approved sticker on the windshield. This compulsory inspection applies to all motor vehicle own ers in this state and is keyed to the final digit of the license plate numbers. Vehicles whose plates end in “1” or “2” must be inspected prior to March 1. Those bearing “3* must be in spected in March. A “4’ indi cates April, etc. October is the month for “0” plates. Vehicle inspection is one field in which safety authorities feel some improvement can be made in the state’s poor traffic re cord. Through regular inspection such faults as worn brakes, loose steering, slick tires, and burned out hedlights may be caught and the offending vehicles removed from the read until they are re paired. While no claim is made that this is the major problem area for safety, it is generally re cognized that it is one area in which quick and efficient gains may be made. Inspection costs $1.75. Any re pair work authorized is an added expense. However, repairs may tie made at another location if de sired. In fact, the owner may make needed repairs himself if he is handy with tools. A well-known political scientist recently noted in a study of the textile industry that“A- merican textile schools are the best in world.” Piggly Wiggly Winners! $50.00 WINNER 8. T.
