Systematically plan to save their
honey at present are less than one
in a hundred. On several million
American farms where this honey
goes unharvested year after year this
wastage aggregates billions of dol
lars.
A Minnesota scientific bee cul-
turist, Francis Jager, is authority
for the statement that 100 colonies
of honey bees suitably located and
properly cared for can be expected
to average net production of profit
twice as great as that of the average
160-acre farm of his state can show,
while the equipment and overhead is
less. Of course, 100 colonies of bees
cannot be pastured on an average
sized farm, but there are innumera-
BILE farms where a dozen hives of bees
could gather 500 worth of honey
annually.

WATERPRooFING CLOTHING.

Two simple methods of water
proofng military uniforms and
other clothing have been brought to
the notice of the Paris Academy of
Sciences. Doctor Niewenglowsky
uses one ounce of paraffin dissolved
in a quart of gasoline, and soaks the
clothing in the cold solution, or ap-
plies it with brush to shoes slightly
warmed. 1t must be remembered
that the gasoline is dangerously in
fammable. The solution of Doctor
LIE Roy is mutton suet in chloroform
or carbon tetrachloride, the prepara-
ton being diluted with gasoline. The
garment is rubbed in the solution,
wrung out, and dried in air. The
cloth retains its permeability to air.

AMERICAN GLASS IN CHINA.

Most of the window glass import
ed into China at present is of Ameri-
can manufacture, instead of being
the product of Belgian glass works,
as before the war. The United
States also supplies the larger part
of the plate glass imports, says Pop
ular Mechanics, and would supply
practically all of both grades of
glass, according to our consul gem
eral at Hongkong, if freight rates
from this country were readjusted to
meet those from Great Britain.
Large stocks of Belgian and Brit
ish window glass were on hand in
Hongkong warehouses when the war
came, and it took year or more to
deplete these stocks and open the
market for American glass, which
was sent to China in large quantities
n 1916.

WASTAGE IN HONEY is GREAT

The present centering of attention
by economists on food waste is show
ing that one of the most unnecessary
losses of a valuable food product is
the ungathered nectar Of flowers,
says Farm and Fireside.
Speaking in broad way there are
few farms in America that do not
annually produce several hundred
weight of honey over and above the
honey required to sustain the bee

food product.

ROOM IN THE WORLD FOR ALL
Some, Like Young Man With More
Dollars Than He Can Count, Claim
Special Rights of Way.

There is plenty of room in the
world for everybody. Who claims
any special right Of way for himself?
There are such claimants in plenty.
The great, burly fellow, for instance
l(whose name might be spelled with
three letters) wants it. In the sub
way, recently, he was waiting for a
train. 1t came and he made for it,
brushing frail women and small chill
dren right and left. He claimed the
right of way, says Pennsylvania
Grit.
A young man, whose dollars are
more than he can count, claims the
right of way because Of his dollars.
Not that he has earned them; he
doesn't know their cost; he only
cares that they are his and will help
him to the right of way he seeks.
Money talks, and he seems to be
saying, through its voice: "Stand
aside Z! l ride in golden auto there
fore the highway of life belongs to
me. Out of my way, or I'll run you
down.
What is the result? He fourishes
for a time; but by and by he runs
against the chariot of character.
There is collision. He discovers
that his auto wasn't genuine, that it
was made of FOOLS gold.
Here is a youth with claims of an
other sort. His dollars are few and
hard-earned, and yet he wants the
right of way to some of the oppor-
tunities of life. He has eyes to see
with, ears to hear with, and hands
Ito do with. His motive power is the
purpose to merit the things he seeks.
IIIe decides that the train of his con-
duct shall be needed by the engine of
principles. And so he seeks the way
of right and finds glorious right of
way.

FLOWER USED TO TEST LOVE
Reason of Superstition That At
tached to 1t.

Bachelors button, the well-known
blossom, got its name years ago
when the world was more sentiment
tai than it is now. Young men who
fell in love, which they did then ex-
actly as they do now, had fashion
of picking these common flowers and
placing them in their buttonholes
as a sort of test of the permanency
of the love affair.
The flowers do not hold their
freshness more than from 12 to "A
hours, and the signing lover pretend
ed to forecast his happiness by dis
covering whether OF not the blossom
would fall to pieces during the course
of the day in which he wore it. If
the petals fell off he gave up in sor-
row and retired from the field. If at
sundown the flower was intact he re-
joiced and hurried off to propose
matrimony, believing that eyes"
awaited him. The superstition has
fallen into disuse, but the name still
clings to the flower.

ZINC CONTAINERS TO
REPLACE THOSE OF TIN
Order OF Defense Council VIII Slim.
ulate Oklahoma
Mining.
BY OMER X. BENEDICT

BY OMER X. BENEDICT
(World's Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE Coun.
sci Of National Defense. through Pc.
troleum Administrator Joe Guffey,
has adopted policy that will stimu-
late the zinc mining fields of Miami.
An order shortly will be issued to
substitute zinc for tin in all oil con.
tainers used In exports. There is q
shortage Of tin at the present time
and the supply Of zinc seems to be
long. This additional use of zinc will
bring into immediate demand large
quantities OF zinc and no doubt will
be the means OF increasing materially
the price.
There Is not only shortage of tin
In the country but S,ere is also q
shortage Of lead and big surplus of
xino and the government will adopt q
policy OF substituting zinc wherever
1t can be found practicable.
Early In the war zinc rose to q high
price. greatly stimulating the output
Of spelter. which in 1915 was double
what 1t was In price before the war.
The result had been considera BILE
over-constructiOn Of smelling capacity
and latterly an overproduction OF
spelter. The stock on hand June 80.
1917, was $4,000 tons against 1886
tons at the close Of 1915.
The present price Of spelter is 8.5
q pound against 1914 in 1915 and 12.4
In 1915. 1t Is practically impossible to
make spelter at S.5 at present prices
Of ore. labor. etc.
The low price Of spelter has caused
the closing down OF many mills in the
Joplin district and as large produc-
ton OF lead Is thereby lost. the gov
ernment sees the necessity of stimu-
lating zinc In order to increase the
production Of lead.
