With her golden retriexer Beau at her side, she has become a changed woman. Phalen. who has struggled with MS for four years, is one of thousands of disabled Americans getting a physical and emotional lift - from dogs trained to do some of the things their masters can't. A new study suggests such dogs can proxide a measure of independence and save their masters mon- two years ago. He can pull her wheelchair, open and close doors with straps attached, get cans of sttda out of the refrigerator and bring her a phone if there's trouble. Phalen. a writer, said Beau will help her leaxe the wheelchair behind. "It's xery easy to slide into. "OK. just take care of me.' But since I am totally responsible for his welfare. I feel needed again." she said. A two-yestudy published in Umax's Journal of the American ey. For decades, blind people have used dogs as guides. But in recent years, dogs taken from shelters haxe helped disabled people get in and out of bathtubs and get dressed and undressed. Beau was trained by a Michigan-based organization and gixen to Phalen bx her husband nearlx ar Medical Association found that sen ice dogs improxed the psycho- g logical, sticial and economic of 48 disabled people who asked for canine help.

In Argentina, the xicious insect lives prim and proper in a single-famil- y nest, but in America, unrelated queens lixe together and W ASHINGTON exerybody is welcome. "The fire ants haxe it xery good here in the United States." said Kenneth Ross of the Unixersity of Georgia. "It is like they lixe in communes that will let anybody in." ' Ross, principal author of a study published last week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of.Sciences. said the U.S. fire ant has no natural enemy, unlike its Argentine cousin. As a result, the fire ant has spread throughout the South and Southwest since it was accidentally introduced into the United States 60 years ago. In sone pastures, the fire ant has established at least one nest in exery square yard. Ross said, and this may haxe led to the change in lifestyle. Fire ants are xicious, unrelenting predators with an extremely painful sting. Ross said the insects seek out victims and each ant can sting repeatedly. Animals or humans unfortunate enough to blunder into their nest are instantly attacked by hundreds of the ants. Large numbers of stings have been know n to kill. Ex en one or tw o stings can cause swelling and sores that persist for weeks. .... Ross said that in Argentina, fire or ants live in either single-queecolonies and all of multiple-queethe ants arc close relatives. Queens ." (during a nest usually are sisters. ' he said.

Fire ants are very sensitive to ' thermal changes, he said, and eggs and larvae roust constantly be moved up or down w ithin the nest to protect them from killing temperatures.

In effect, he said, all of the ants ignore ancestry and work together to keep the new generations alive. The conclusions are based on genetic tests of fire ants in nests from Argentina and from Georgia and Texas. The South American tests showed that all of the ants in a each nest were closely related. Worker ants and queens in the U.S. nests, howexer. often were no more closely related than were ants from faraway nests. "The difference may have to do w ith the great density of nests here and the absence of natural enemies." said Ross. Since the mortality of queens is reduced, there are nure of them and. hence, a greater need for new nests. The solution dexcloped was for alien queens to bunk together, commune style. There are advantages: With multiple queens, a nest has more defenders and mine worker ants to gather food.
