 Why does the motion picture actor, when he portrays an American busi- ness man, lawyer financier, police of ficial, public official or editor. in- variably smoke a big, black cigar as a mark of Identification?

I have visited business men in their offices, bankers. lawyers ar.d real es- tate men and I cannot recall single instance where I was ushered Into the presence of one who was smoking. And I have observed gentlemen con ferring in their offices. with no wom < en present and never were they in dulging in tobacco.

A Lesson on the War

Jasper in Leslies.
 The war is teaching us its lessons. One of them is that this country needs large business enterprises and still larger in- vestments of capital to give the people prosperity. The government has shown the way by pooling railroad activities fixing prices and establishing the same community of interest that big business has always sought and finally by seek ing, through the Webb bill, to remove the restrictions of the Sherman anti trust law on our export trade
 It will not be long before the people will awaken to realization that the Sherman antitrust law, instead of help- ing, has interfered with business. and instead of lowering the cost of living, has increased 1t.

Her Soldier Boy" is a light oper- etta by Leon Victor, who wrote "The Merry Widow" and Emmerich Ka1- man, composer of "Sari," and achieved great success in Europe, where it was presented originally. The American adaptation was made by Rida John son Young with added musical num- bers by Sigmund Romberg, the talent ed Hungarian composer. Twenty musi- cians including three drummers, are carried by the company to interpret the beautiful music
 This musical production has been described as combining the most bril- liant qualities of operetta and musi- cal comedy. On a foundation of serious romance there is a superstructure of gay comedy with the chief figures one Teddy McLane, an adventure seeking young American who is caught in back eddy of the great war in Eu- rope; Captain Alan Teniers. a gallant young Belgian officer, and Marlene Delaunay, winsome Belgian girl.
 Teddy, to win the affection of an energetic and charming American girl, Amy Lee, endeavors to play the role of hero. How he meddles and muddles everything, then finds a happy solu- tfon for all concerned, is the meat of the story. Despite the fact that Her Soldier Boy" is constructed around the great European struggle, 1t is by no means a war play, in that none of the gruesome or mobid features which must need characterize such an offer

MOTHER BEES, NOT QUEENS
A Bee Master Says the Queen 10 the
One Real Subject

There are no queens, properly so
called, in bee life," said the bee mas
ter OF Pleasantville, n. ]. There are
hundreds of hives in my garden, and
there isn't queen in any of them.
III you keep fairly close watch
on the progress of any particular
hive, it is very easy to see how the
old false ideas got into general use.
At first glance bee colony looks very
much like a kingdom, and the single
large bee that all the others pay
court to and attend SO carefully
seems very like 4 queen.
"The mother bee seems on the
face of it, a miracle of intelligence
and foresight. While as far as you
know all other creatures in the world
bring forth their young of both sexes
haphazards, this can lay male or fe-
male eggs apparently at will. You
watch her going from comb to comb,
and the eggs she drops in the small
cells hatch out females and those she
puts in the larger cells are always
males or drones.
more than that, she seems always
to know the exact condition of the
hive and to be able to limit her egg
laying according to it's need or other
wise of population: for either you see
her filing only few cells each day
in little patch OF comb that can be
covered with the palm of your hand
or she goes to work on gigantic
scale and in twenty-four hours pro-
duces eggs that weigh more than
twice as much as her whole body.
"Then," he goes on in Van Norden's
Magazine, 'to cap all, as the honey
season draws on to it's height you are
| forced to think that the queen has
conceived and is carrying through
| scheme for the good of her subjects
| that would do credit to the wisest
| ruler ever born in human purple.
| "Every day of summer sunshine has
| brought thousands Of young bees into
life. The hive is getting overcrowded.
Sooner or later one of two things
must happen-either the increase of
population must be checked or a great
party must be formed to leave the
old home and so out to establish
another.
"Then it is that the mother bee
seems to prove beyond doubt her
wisdom and queenliness. She decides
for the emigration. but as leader
must be found for the party and none
is at hand she forms the resolve to
lead 1t herself.
"a new ruler for the old realm
must be provided to take her place
when she has gone forever, and now
you see party of bees set to work on
something that fairly beggars your
curiosity.
"At first it looks exactly like an
acorn cup in wax hanging from the
under edge of the comb. Perhaps the
