This year there is such close par

that any money will even be asked fol
this purpose.

OPIUM ATTRACTED THE BEES
Suburban DWelIer Learns with Sorrow
That Busy Insects Can Acquire
Bad Habits.

Numerous honey bees have been for
traordinary conduct in my flower gar
den" said a suburban dweller, "and
now a friend of mine who is wise
in the ways of the world has revealed
to me the reason for that conduct,
and it has panied me deeply.
Il grew a big bed of poppies this
summer and they are now in abundant
and brilliant bloom. When the pop
pies first appeared bees were working
all about the garden on flowers OF va
rious kinds. Then by and by / no.
ticed that they were abandoning these
beds in swarms. They seemed not
only to seek the poppies exclusively.
but none of them showed an inclina-
ton to quit them when once at work
among them. Each lowered about the
bed in frantic effort to get places in
peoples, every one of the scores OF
which were constantly occupied by
other bees, and these we're just as
eagerly struggling to keep their places
in the flower cups against those trying
to get in.
"A peculiar drowsy, droning hum
was constant about the bed. making you
sleepy to hear it. 1t was evident
from the persistence with which the
bees assailed that poppy bed chung to
their places or reluctantly now and
then gave them up, that whoever 1t
was that owned them wasn't getting
much work done in his hives, and
knowing the reputation of bees for
being busy and improving each shin
ing hour, | wondered more and more
at this singular lapse from duty. Then
one day | showed the strange sight
to my friend, and voicing my wonder
at what it all meant. He gazed at
1t a moment in a stony and cynical
sort of may, and then said:
What does it all mean? Why, it's
plain enough. Each and every one OF
those peoples is a natural opium joint
and the bees have hit up the dope,
and can't get away from it. That's
all it means he said.
81 was sorry indeed to hear it, for
it panied me deeply to learn that the
bee, the busy bee, EVER held up as
an example of all that should be emu.
lated and admired, should be thus
prone to evil ways

Parks to Line the Potomac River

of the city's lands bordering the river.
Establishment of Potomac park was
the beginning of improvement, and il
congress shall approve of the latest
plans, it will not be long before the
river front of Washington will be a
source of pride.
Commissioner Judson's plans in.
clude the building of stone or concrete
docks in place of the wooden struc.
lures and shanties that now mark the
busiest part of town. 1t is proposed
in time to have a splendid driveway
and promenade, a scheme which, it is
believed, will lead to the extension 81
the city to the other side of the Po'
tomac. There is to be built a recrea'
ton pier where the fish wharves now
are.
Potomac park itself was established
made with the mud and clay dredged
from the river when the channel was
deepened. This park is only the be-
ginning, and similar recreation places
will be established along the river
front now available for commercial
purposes. Along the upper Potomac,
too, it is proposed to make parks.
In the extensive river park system
contemplated provision will be made
for the benefit of Georgetown and
East Washington will have great
driveways and promenades. Here the
shores of the eastern branch of the
river are low-lying flats.

More DAYLIGHT Plan Is Not Popular

referred the question to the two COM
mercial organizations for expression
of opinion as to whether a municipal
regulation along that line should be
adopted for the District of Columbia.
Since the boom first landed in the
national capital through the aid of the
Cincinnati organization, it has been a
continuous candidate for a home for
the friendless. 1t has discovered that
so far as it is concerned the business
men of Washington are frigid and dis
tant. Not a letter, not even a postal
card has been written to district of.
ficials in it's behalf.
Commissioner Mcfarland has deter.
mined to reply to the National Day.

does not consider it advisable to sug.
gest-as the association desired-the
adoption of a law here, similar to the
Cincinnati ordinance, for more day.
sion of public opinion made in re-
Spouse to his request is not favorable
to such action.
Pointing out that the board of trade
and the chamber of commerce are
representative of the public opinion OF
the District of Columbia, Commission
err mcfarland will tell the National
Daylight association that he has been
notified by the presidents of the two
trade bodies that their executive com.
mittees, after careful consideration OF
the matter, have reached the conclu.
sion that it would be inadvisable to
advocate the adoption of any legisla.

The stiff-necked Spanish court, to
