Wise Insects.

In his experiments to determine
whether it is the color or the odor of
flowers that attracts bees and other
insects, Mon. Plateau, the Belgian
zoologist, bethought him of trying a
mirror He selected flower of strik-
ing color and strong odor. and placed
it before an excellent glass in which
the reflection was perfect. All the
insects went straight to the real flow-
er, and not single one approached
the reflection in the mirror.-Youth' s

fronted with the report that his matri-

filed notices 10 that effect with the
secretary Of state Of Connecticut, UNI
der the laws Of which state the con-

In times when the general tendency
in business is toward restriction, II i
significant that the demand for Cor
bin cars should he such as to neceSeI-
tate increased facilities for their pro-
duction and distribution.
The sales Of the concern this year
have so far exceeded thosesfor the cor
responding period of last year. and
the prospects for future business so
much better than ever that the COM
pany has taken this step In order to
do business advantageously and eco
nomically.
Such an aggressive and progressive
policy augurs most favorably for the
future welfare of Corbn cars, Corbin
agencies and Corbin car owners.
It Is the only concern of large re-
sources that can assure its patrons of
wide distribution of agencies and per-
manency In the field, thereby protect
