A productive colony Of bees may be
likened figuratively to.a machine which
consumes in friction 80 per cent of the
energy applied. This IL not high de-
gree OF efficiency when measured by
this standard. The colony In boz
hive, then. Is likened to such machine
in bad repair and with no attention, In
which all the energy IL used simply to
drive the wheels. Such a machine is
totally unproductive. The properly
housed colony which IL badly manipu-
lated Is then comparable to the ma
chine in.good repair but In the hands
Of a poor mechanic. Such a machine
may do fair worksfor a time, but the
mechanic fails to do the necessary
work at the right time and the machine
is only occasionally productive. FINAL
y. the productive colony Is like good
machine In the hands Of a good me
chanic. While energy is consumed
simply to run the machine, the good
mechanic does the right work at the
right time and obtains the greatest poe
sible reward in the machines output.

There is almost distracting va
riety In sweaters and sweater-coats to
choose from this season. And along
with them sleeveless satin and velvet
sports coats have entered the race for
consideration, and sleeveless coats of
silk Jersey. All Of which goes to
prove that q sweater, or sports coat
or both-are indispensable In the
wardrobe Of today and that one can
afford to think twice and then think
again before making a final choice
among them.

win approval They are made of
heavy zephyrs, In gay colors and knit

and rose pink are favorites for them
and one sees an occasional jade green.
Nearly all Of them have white knit
ed collars. It Is left to the individ-
ual to decide for or against sleeves
and IL the sleeves win, then white
knitted cuffs are theirs by right.

The following IL an article which ap-

the Red Cross:
Miss Jane A. Delano. director Of
the bureau Of nursing of the American

usual opportunities offered by the in
surance law. enacted for the protection
Of our army and navy. The provisions
OF the insurance bill apply equally to
nurses assigned to duty as members Of

make II possible for the nurse to se-
cure. at nominal rates. protection for
herself as well as for designated mem
bers Of her family dependent upon
her.
"a great responsibility rests upon
the nurses Of the country continues
Miss Delano. They are the only group
of women recognized as part OF the
military establishment. While thou
sands and thousands Of nurses will be
needed, the number Is relatively small
compared with the number Of women
in America who should stand back Of
them and make possible the service for
which they are 80 greatly needed at
this time.
''The nurses who share in the hard

incident to war should be looked upon

ice to volunteer promptly. but they
should make every effort possible to
protect the nurses holding themselves

II ID not enough to select, grade. and

Of pounds of fruits and vegetables that
were not properly loaded In freight

But the loss Is not borne entirely by

Garry Heavier Leads.
Reports from railroads and shippers
show that under the stress Of car short
age freight cars have been carrying
heavier loads than in the past, and in
some cases maximum safe loading has
been worked out for certain crops.
The department Of agriculture and the
railroads are endeavoring to educate
shippers to the necessity for proper
spacing, arrangement, and bracing Of
loads in cars to prevent injury in tram
sit.
Shipments Of carefully graded pro-
duce, such as peaches, put up In good
hampers have been received at market
in such condition that they had to be
repacked before they could be sold.
many hampers being SO broken that
the loss Of fruit was great. All this
because the hampers were not prop
erly spaced and braced in the cars.
Even when loads are braced prop
erly and arrive intact. inattention to
requirements Of refrigeration and ven
tilation often results in great losses
through mold and decay. Efficient
loading Of perishables prohibits 7st-
ting so much in car as to result In
such losses. The limit Of safety must
be adhered to even though there IL

A STORY

Peter Patriot had a penny. Sammy Stacker had cent. Peter put his mon- ey in his pocket until he had twenty five and then he bought Thrift Stamp. Thus Peter had saved twen- ty-five cents for himself; he had loan ed twenty-five cents to the govern ment; he had permitted the govern ment to buy twenty-five cents worth of goods or services to win the war {; he had helped business, himself. his country. He was Peter Patriot. Sam my Stacker spent his cent for some silly, insignificant stuff-sweets or something-and saved nothing, did not help the government and was sim ply selfish Sammy Stacker. Peters purchase paves the paths to perman- ent prosperity; Sammy's silly spend ing signifies sorrow some day.-By Ellis Parker Butler. author of Pigs is Pigs

PRO-GERMANS AND AMERICANS
 ARE GIVEN \ WARNING

A warning to pro-Germans, aliens and Americans was given at the Lib erty Theatre last night by United States District Attorney William A. Munly. Pro-Germans were told to keep their mouths shut during the period of the war. Aliens were also told that they must obey the laws of this country. Both pro-Germans and aliens, who have fattened at the na- tional crib for years; who have had every advantage of free land, must now abide by the laws of the United States. Mob vengeance will not be tolerated but the United States will deal more severely with those who commit infractions than will a mob. Tolerance of the American govern ment and the people will only last so long and the time has now come when tolerance has virtually ceased. Ameri- cans were also warned that they must give plentifully so that the war may continue to a victorious end. District Attorney Munly spoke for nearly half an hour and frequently his remarks, pointed, patriotic, were roundly ap- plauded by the large audience. The speech was the best that has been de- livered in Seward and every word was spoken with thrust that should have found its mark.-Gateway.

MOBILIZE THE BRAINS

rection, greater unity of effort, a true war council, such as does not ex- ist in Washington at the present time "a council of men who, irrespective of faction or party, represent in the greatest degree the genius and energy of America We must bend all our ef- forts to make the most of our oppor- tunities in time. It will be fruitless if we get ready too late.
 These words come from man who, for the moment at least, has cast aside all partisanship and who is mov- ed solely by patriotism; by a pas sionate desire to stir the nation to the importance of haste in this great war; who believes that we are frit- tering our time away in useless in- vestigations and endless committee strife.
 And this is what a majority of true Americans are saying, regard less of party affiliation.
 It has been felt by a majority of persons who study the war situation carefully that the best brains of the nation are not engaged in prosecuting this war; that politics have been in jected ahead of Mars; that commit tees have been appointed whose mem bers are utterly unfit for the import ant duties assigned them. Sam Blythe, in a recent issue of the Saturday Ev- ening Post even goes so far as to charge that only four of the ten mem bers of the cabinet are above medic crity.
 It has been felt by the country at large that the ablest statesman was not represented in the person of Col. House, who headed one of the most important committees sent to confer with the allies. Many of the other members were able politicians instead of able statesmen.
 It has been felt by the people that the best men, regardless of whether they are republicans, democrats or so- cialists, should be used to push this great war to an end. The whole en- ergy of the nation must be called upon to bring the war to successful ter imitation. There has been too much camouf1age. We are attempting to de- ceive ourselves. We are waving the Stars and Stripes and declaring that one American can whip fifty aliens and letting it goat that. The test of a mans fitness for leadership should be ability, and business ability.
 The attempt to suppress criticism is wrong. No man is above criticism whether he be king, noble or peasant The light of publicity turned upon the dark places reveal much that is wrong and that wrong should be made right Commentator should be extended where commendation is due. Abilit! should be recognized. Officials who dt not measure up to standard should b. removed and their places filled by mel of proven ability.
 AS an example of what criticism may accomplish, the case of Secretar. Daniels might be cited. At one tim the navy department was the butt o the press. Today 1t stands supreme ahead of every other department o the cabinet. Secretary Daniels ha made good. Criticism brought effic iency out of chaos and the natio benefited thereby.
 Criticism of the War Departmen is rapidly bringing results. Secretar Baker, while denying many of tn charges hastened to rectify them. Tn army is rapidly building up into a efficient, cohesive fighting machine The Hog Island expose was the diret
