Many Different Ways in Which

Now York. There sir many differ
mi ways In wlik'li iiiilmnls uiui't the
winter. Many go lnl winter u.iiurters
nnd, reducing thi'lr expenditure to u
tiiliilimiiii, lie low until I lie spring mils

wolves, continue to live dangerously,
klinply sharpening their wits and In-n-ensing
tin keenness of their limit
ing Some, like llii' ermine and tlio
ptarmigan, ilon n while dress, which
In hot It Mire iind comfortable.
Others solve the problem by n
rbutigo In habitat--notnbly the mlgrn
lory birds. There nre several other
nUitlons or the problem, and one of
llu'Kis Is (o lay nj stores, to hoard,
lo .save. Many animal! do this Inside
their bodies,
Habit Is Acquisitive.
A beginning of storing may be
looked for perhaps In activities like
hose of earthworms, which collect
leaves and drag them down Into their
furrows, at once making them more
comfortable and providing a supply
f food for a rainy day. It Is surely
Kio acquisitive habit that they hnve.
loso earthworms, for more than four
tcoro lealleta were tuken from one
burrow.
With Insects we find nn Inclined
piano vt storing that leads up to the
tUtiuis Illustrated by hive bees and
by aomo of the ants. Among the
olltnry bees the mother makes a
More for the brood which she never
turvlves to see; among humble bees
the store Is begun by the mother, but
rontlnued by her worker children, and
In some kinds at least a part of the
society survives the winter; In some
tropical bees there are permanent
societies and Imperfect combs; In tho
hive bees there are permanent societies
uml perfect combs.
The elaborate storing ot lilvo bees,
:arrled to such perfection under men's
care, Is, to begin with, connected with
surviving the winter I. e., with per
manence, and with tlio survival of the
mothers ere their offspring grow up.
I. e with tho possibility of soclnl
tradition.
It Is Impossible to think of storing
without n vision of Solomon's nnt,
"which, having no guide, overseer, or
ruler provldeth her meat In tlio sum
mer and giithercth her food In the
harvest." And, ns among bees, we find
nil grndes among nnts from those that
do not store at all to those that make
n lino nrt of It,
According to recent studies of tho
common Mediterranean harvesting
nnt, tho seeds which are collected are
kept ftir a time dry and are eventually
put out In the rain to germinate. This
has the advantage of bursting tho
hard seed coats and In some cases of
starting processes of fermentation.
At a certain stage, however, tho
nnts kill the embryo plant by biting
at It, and the seeds are dried again In
the sun. The dried seeds of some
.vloverllko plants, for Instance, aro
then taken back into tho nest and
chewed Into dough. This Is dried oneo
igaln In the sun In tho form of little
biscuits, which aro eventually put Into
the cupboard.
Culture for Molds.
It is likely that different kinds of
jeeds receive different treatment and
lu Mime cases It .seems that the stored
material Is not eaten at all. but Is

Round Up Gang
of Shoplifters
"Dashing Dora" Leader of No
torious Band of Fashionable
Berlin Robbers.
LOOT OVER MILLION DOLLARS
Every Step of Police Investigation of
Gang Reautts in Fresh Sensa

Are in Custody.
Berlin. White slave traffic, tho
morphia habit and the practice of
blackmail were Joined to theft, fraud
and kleptomania In the "Danse Maca
bre" or the band of Iterlin shoplifters
led by "Dashing Dora."
Every step of tho police Investiga
tion of the activities of this gang,
eight of whom are In custody, re
sults In fresh sensational disclosures.
Several members of the band plead
that they aro addicted to the drug
habit and are not responsible for their
acts. Mrs. Foerster, one of Dora's
"dashing" daughters, is In the hospital,
suffering from morphia poison. Her
husband was arrested as he was In
tho act of concealing stolen property
valued at several thousand pounds.
Louise Morvillus, her sister, lias
been relcnsed from custody In order
that she may go to her sick child,
but not before she bad confessed to
tlio police that for years she has been
n white slavo for her husband, Frank
Morvillus, who Is director of the Ger
man disposal hoard.
Further raids have been made by
the police on the luxurious homes of
"Dashing Dora" tind her accomplices,
and the enormous pile of stolen goods
at Charlottcnberg police station has
received considerable addition.
Confiscate Bank Accounts.
Thu bank accounts of the gang,
which amount to many thousands of
pounds, have been conllscated.
Morvillus has pleaded that his
mother-in-law Is tlio victim, of klep
tomania. It has been alleged against Morvil
lus that ho heavily bribed the police
In order lo avoid arrest.
Members of the gang, who were
caught with S'JOO.OOO worth of stolen
goods in their possession, have ter
rorized the largest lterlln luxury
stores for many years, and their dep

though a considerable quantity Is be

Charlottcnburg police station re
sembled n great warehouse. There
were piles of china and leather goods,
Jewels and other valuable articles,
which were taken chiefly from a lux
urious six-room apartment occupied
by "Dashing Dora." This woman
now forty-four, who has been twice
divorced, Js married o n youth ,ol

"Dashing Dora's" homo was raided
by policemen Just as the seven crimi
nals were discussing u New . Year's
picsent for "the tlrm," consisting ol
two limousines Avltli a liveried chauf
feur and footmen to nsstst them In
their "profession." Dora and hei
woman accomplices, who lived like
princesses, mixed In the highest so
clety. She Is considered tho mos
brazen and cleverest of llght-llngcrei?
crooks on record.
The list of booty carried off by
her gang includes a priceless antique,
porcelain set of V18 pieces which was
lifted piecemeal from an Untcr den
Linden shop in four visits. An easy
Job for them was a gold cofTcu set of
thirty-two pieces valued at 5.000.
Tills was carried off in one visit.
Special Belts Used.
Dora anil her friends were equipped
with specially constructed leather
belts fitted witli Innumerable hooks
to which they attached valuables as
they passed through the shops.
The Incident which led to the raid
on Dora's home Illustrates the gang's
audacity. They fell under tho suspi
cion of a salesgirl at one Iterllu lux
ury shop, but they bluffed the man
ager Into an humble apology.
The next day the husbands of the
two women visited the shoos. Indli'-

mark notes In the face of the manager,
they Insisted on a written apology
from the salesgirl and thu. manager
himself. This was given, but the
manager was afterward struck with
tlio youth of the husbands as com
pared with their wives. He telephoned
for the police, and the gang were ur
rested. 249 CHILEAN QUAKES IN 1920
