HOW THE BEE SOLVES THE

That man may well study and take
example from the lessons taught BY
the habits OF the lower animals is very
Interestingly exemplified In the meth

As the hive has but a single open

air currents can be relied upon to pre-

workers are extracting oxygen there

The senses Of the bees seem super

respiratory matters. since the insect
would'appear to very accurately gauge
the correct measure OF air requisite

former case the number OF blower

conditions OF the hive work demand,
while in the cold months, when respi.

IN HIS BANK CHARGE
Secretary McAdoo Corrects State
ment About Excessive
Interest.

The censure given by the Secretary of
the Treasury to two New York banks
as offenders against public policy in
charging excessive interest on loans to
correspondent banks was undeserved.
Secretary McAGoo, who has rebuked
the banks of the nation for boarding
money and charging excessive interest
on loans. admits that he was wrong in
the case OF the two New York institu-
tions and pleads misinformation.
The names of the banks were given to
the New York clearing house committee
by Secretary McAdoo on the strength
of advices from q southern bank,
the correspondent bank. which was
supposedly the sufferer from the excess
interest rate. The New York banks
confronted with the declaration of Sec
retary McAdoo, denied that it was so.

Reason Given for Decline of Sea Is

Of Sea Island cotton, the Department
Of Agriculture has announced after
a study of marketing and economic
conditions Of the industry. Co-opera-
tion between growers and spinners
was urged as essential to the crops
future.
Other reasons outlined for low prices
and the large amount Of the extra
staple carried over as found by the
Investigators were:
A deadlock in the market; growers
holding the cotton for higher prices
than spinners were willing to pay.
The successful competition against
the Sea Island cotton of the new Egyp-
tian variety known as Sakellaridis.
Deterioration in the quality of Sea
Island cotton due to the difficulty of
obtaining proper seed.
