Fruit Not Injured by Bees.

An agricultural society OF FlorenA,
Italy, carried out n thorough lnvestigas
tion Of the alleged injury of fruit by
bees, and has completely exonerated
the latter. Bees are unable to per
forate the skin of fruit, and 1t is only
incidentally that they suck the juices
Of fruits injured by other natural
causes. The damage sometimes attrib-
uted to these insects is due TO poul-
try, wild birds, wind and hail. and
even more frequently to hornets.
wasps, vine moths and other insects.
Instead Of being harmful TO orchards
and vineyards, bees perform the use
full service Of effecting the cross-pol-
lination Of flowers and hence the set
ting of fruit. as well as the desicca-
ton Of damaged fruits Especially
grapes by sucking the juice and pulp
and thus preventing fermentation and
rot extending 10 sound individuals.

MUNICIPAL PIPE LINE

Ardmore people are thinking these
days of the Fox gas field and of what
IL would mean to have gas pipe line
built into this city. One man in speak
ing OF the situation, said he favored
municipal ownership, re believed the
city could well afford to vote bonds
and to build a gas pipe line to the field
and that It could well afford to pur-
chase the plant of the Ardmore Eec-
trio company and light its homes, its
streets and TO pump its own water.
The gentleman who was discussing
the matter said the caarter OF the
city could be easily changed so that
a permanent board could have the
management of municipality owned
properties, that the old argument that
politics ruins business could be elimi.
mated by such an arrangement, that
the city could get a BOARD of its very
best business men to manage its fuel
line, its light plant and its water
works
The question comes up so frequent
ly now when town boosters get togeth.
er that 1t is probable that such
proposition win be put before the
voters before many months. 1t would
be well for every taxpayer in the city
to gather such information along this
line as is available so that he may
cast an intelligent vote. These are
big questions, such move might be
the making of the city and it might
result in a burden or taxation that
would injure the city Every man
should inform himself he should not
be led by the influence of another.

be made to the city, and contractors
are expecting building to continue

sions in regard tohthe matter.
Today l visited the gas works TO

dit:ons that confront him, ard yet
when the matter was brought to the:
attention of council, the committee
on gas tries to hide behind q sick

sponsibility on the superintendent.
Then other members Of council stated
that on another occasion better coal
had been tried with no better results;
but we all know that there is good,
better and best. Why was the COM
mittce satisfied with good coal in
making. the contract, when they could
have gotten the best? Did they specify
that the good coal would produce the
proper candle power gas?
Arguing from effect to cause, we
ind that all agree that We have a
skillful superintendent and efficient
corps Of operatives; that we have a
fairly good plant, and that this outfit
has produced good gas. If so, why not
now? Very obviously, as admitted in
council, because OF bad coal There

PEACE HARB!NGERS.

Peace sentiment is spreading III

Notwithstanding the braSgadocio Oh

dent Wilson has addressed COM
munication to the warning world 1e
ston look and listen, is 4 pia'n m
dication that his suggestion Will be
hooded We do not believe he would
have taken such course had ne
deemed his efforts would prove iutiie'
The fact that the German An1bas-
sador looks upon the President 5
movement with faver,in ominouS. ms
able diplomat and our President EVIL
IDENTIFY enjoy visions obscured to the
world ii large.
II has been evident for some time
that the nations are becoming wear!
Of war. II is unnecessary to repeat
conclusions as to which country Is
responsible for the awful clash. II
has come after forecasts running
baci, for many years, and the par
ties to it. while in no way disposed
to sacrifice principles in order to
bring it to close, would rejoice TO
see sorae avenue, no matter how con-
tractcd. to get out honorably.
We believe the time has come when
both sides will listen to reason The
war has continued TOO long fer Ger
many. That nation, il must be admit
ed. miscarried in its calculations. It
was known two years before the war
was pretipitated that t,had to come.
But copditieps were not as Germany
desired them. She waited until she
was sire of making speedy con-
Guest Of France while Austria was
keeping Russia back 80. The Te9,tons
never dreamed Belgium would fight,
hut the little nation did, and halted
the invaders long enough for th,. al
lies 20 prepare ana N!n me battle OF
the 2iarne.
Tie drive upon Calais and Dunkilk,
whtch cities were to ne taken at any
cost, failed at a :errible COS: to the
invaders, while the seige Of Verdun
has been practically abandoned,
after the loss Of many thousands.
Another year Of frisht;ulness
might not SHOW that either side had
made material gains. while thous-
ands of men would be sacrificed While
the, Teutons at present have made
their lines almost imprcgnable, there
is deadlock, and this is the time,
when the Frost King rcigns, TO listen

"STENT0R" OF YOSEMITE
TALKS TO COLLEGE OF
HAWAII AT ASSEMBLY

tSpecial Star Bulletin Correspondence)
COLLEGE OF HAWAII, Dec. 6.-At
Mondays assembly of the students oil
the College Of Hawaii, the address was
delivered by Mr. David A. Curry, the
famous "Stento-" of Yosemite Nation
al Park. Mr.. Curry told the students
that he was a philanthropist for con
sideration," and that he. thought more
of this kind of a philahthropist than
of q star philanthropist. He gave a
brief history of Yosemite park and his
connection with II, and concluded
his address by inviting all the stu.
dents and members of the faculty
TO attend either one of the illustrated
lectures he Will deliver at the Mid.
Pacific Institute or the ". M. CO
In telling OF the rapid growth his
popular camps have had in the Is
years he has been conducting them, he
said that he started out with 290 peo-
pie In his first year. Last year he
had 11,719, and this year 1874. He
ascribed this popularity to the efforts
that are made to attend to the com.
fort and pleasure OF the guests, and
told the rates that are charged and
the compensation that the visitor re.
ceiyed.
In describing the wonders of the
Yosemite he spoke OF glaciers and the
part glacial activity has played in
shaping the beauties of the Yosemite
valley. He gave an account OF gla-
cial movement; the results Of glacial
3ctivity in certain parts of the world,
sand spoke of the glaciers that are
still in existence at the present day
relating in q general manner what we
know about glaciers today and how
Louis Agassiz studied glaciers for the
first time In 1914
Mr.. Curry then spoke OF national
parks, specifying that there were now
IA such parks In the United States, but
that there was great difficulty in OBJ
tanning sufficient funds for their main.
tenance by the government. especial
ly since they were all in the western
part of the country where the popula-
tion is approximately one-fourth of
the population OF the eastern part. He
thought 1t a,deplorabie state of affairs
that funds shoald be appropriated for
battleships which will be ready for the
scrap heap in few years, and that
those parks which will be a beauty
forever should be given so little for
upkeep.
The stentor then demonstrated how
he talks to Glacial Point, which is ii
miles by trail away from him. His
well-known Hello, Glacier" resound.
ed throughout the whole building, and
he said that since being in Hawaii
he had added two more words to this
salute, which were first "K-il-a-u-e-a >

Honolulu, at the crossroads of the

in every way. We marveled at the
stability of its business firms, its
splendid buildings, beautiful homes,
excellent hotels and wealth of scenery
and points of indescribable interest.
THE hospitality of the people of
Honolulu cannot be surpassed in any
land, not even in Los Angeles, noted
for its good fellowship entertain.

sufficient to visit all places of inter
est, we felt we would be fortunate in
deed il We could spend another week,
month or three months among the
fields of pineapples and sugar cane
and in the tropical gardens of enchant-
ing beauty. T.
I'VE found that the service of the
steamship Great Northern makes it
possible for our merchants to develop
profitable market on the islands for
the fruits and manufactured products
of our Los Angeles firms.
