BEES WORK TO KEEP WARM
Another Example of the Remarkable
Intelligence Displayed by the Lit
tie Gatherers of Honey.

The bee upholds his reputation for
industry throughout the winter months
as during the summer. Being suscept-
ible to cold, the bee must have some
means of supplying warmth.
1t was found by experiment that
only the shell of the cluster made by
the bees in cold weather is compact.
This is formed by one of several lay
ers of bees all sOlidIy arranged with
their heads inward, their hairs inter-
lacing.
This arrangement is perfect for con-
servation of the heat within. Except
for an occasional shift of positions the
bees forming the shell are quiet. But
within the shell strange things are 60
ing on.
1t is here that the heat is gen.
Grated. And the antics are not unlike
our own when we are cold.
The bees are packed loosely within
the shell so that there is plenty Of
space for many bees to be exercising
at time. Rapid tanning of the wings,
shaking the body from side to side,
rapid breathing, and other movements
are all parts of the scheme for rails
ing the temperature.
In one particular instance, when a
bee had been rapidly tanning with his
wings for seven and a half minutes the
thermometer nearest him registered
30 degrees Fahrenheit

KEPT PLEDGE
TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained Al
lied Loaf Through Sell
Denial at Home Table.
AVERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent of the latest whea
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between July |
and October IL We shipped 00,9SO 30 :
bushels Ii this rate should continue
until the end OF the fiscal year we viii
have furnished the Allies with more
than 231, 800, 900 bushels Of wheat and
flour in terms of wheat
The result of Increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton Of EOStilitieS we are able to re-
turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There Is wheat enough avail
able to have white loaf at the com
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice We're we able 10 keep a
steady stream OF wheat and flour NOV
ing across the sea We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statiSticians
figured that we had a bare surplus of
2O,000,OOo bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of bread
famine-and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. BY the first
of the year we had managed to ship a
little more than 500OO,O00 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatIess days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller. cabled
that only if we sent an additional 75,-
0O0,0 bushels before July l could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo-
pie was S5,000,000 bushels safely deIiv-
cred overseas between January l and
July l. Out of harvest which gave
us only 20,0O0,000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped III, 100000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered
