BEES FOR WAR MESSENGERS
Their Employment Is Said to Have
Gone Far Beyond the Range
of Probability.

A secret long cherished in the Brit
ish war department has Just been dis
covered-the use of bees as messen-
gers.
No longer will the aide de camp
spur his staggering horse through shot
and shell to carry the message to the
front. Instead he will don his gloves
and mask, and. going to the portable
beehive back Of headquarters, seize
one of the faithful little insects, and
send the well-trained messenger
through the air.
Whoever possesses a receiving outfit
can read the secrets of the wireless !;
one can cut the wires of the ordinary
telegraph, and the pigeon does not al
ways escape the bullet.
Therefore, other means have been
sought. In America, the general staff
dreams Of using as a dispatch bearer
the bee.
The bee, like the carrier pigeon,
guided by its marvellous instinct, re-
turns to the hive from wherever he
may be liberated. Tiny dispatches,
which can be deciphered with the mag
nifying glass, can be attached to its
breast.
But something better still has been
found. By an ingenious process the
wings of the tiny insect are sensitized,
and by means Of microscopic photog-
raphy the message Is imprinted there
on

"lET US HAVE PEACE"

A monster Is slowly raising its head
throughout this country which, unless
beaten down Immediately, will become
the most dangerous enemy that the
cause Of civilization has yet been
called upon to face. This evil that
threatens is to be found in the desire
for peace at whatever cost. 1t is the
old "peace at any price" canker raised
to the Nth power.
1t is easy to dispose Of this, as vet
furtive but steadily increasing. desire
for peace by pinnfng to it the label of
German propaganda. But this will not
suffice.
That the world 10 war weary is only
too true. France and England have
had this blood sickness on the part of
their people to contend with for long
time. It's effect on Russia has been
demonstrated.
We, In America, have but com
menced our share Of suffering and sac
rifce. If this revulsion Of feeling is
allowed to spread before the road is
half travelled there can be no doubt as
to our destination. Open hostility to
England, frank sympathy with Ger
many, conscientious or other objec-
tons to war, are as nothing in their
effect upon our part in the struggle
and the destiny of the world-which
now admittedly rests upon our shout
ders-compared to this desire for the
wars ending simply that peace may
reign. Peace today, with Germany IN
defeated, would be living menace to
America as a nation and TO every man,
woman and child who wish TO continue
to be known as Americans.

We have just held a great naval and
military meet at Madison Square Gar
den, where large sum was raised for
this remarkable unit, which has sailed
to do such valuable work in France
Every person In it, even to the plumb
ers and mechanics, are women, and
they volunteered for dangerous service,
Other branches of our war service
have been an intensive food conserva-
ton campaign and the War-Savings
Stamps campaign. In all this active
patriotic work we feel inspired with
the thought Of our own chairman.

Citizenship Schools.
Another interesting branch of our
work is the great university extension
throughout the state under our Educa-
tional Committee.
Another line of work Is that of our
Intelligence Committee, which lists Of
flcials of all political parties and all
men in every township and county in
the state who have run or are to run
for office. It Is believed this commit.
tee will become extremely intelligent
as time goes on, and its intelligence
will react on the civic welfare of the
state most tellingly.
Our AmericaniZation Committee has
issued some very effective and educa-
tional literature and is organizing in
every center and community where
there are foreign groups.
Maintaining Morale.
We realize that great part of ma
TONS war time efficieicy is in keephs
life normal and efficient at home. In
the last analysis that nation which
keeps most nearly steady and normal
in its Industrial and domestic life will
maintain that morale which will win
the war for it.
The work of the Rural Problems
Committee perhaps Is of particular in
terest In this publication which is be-
ing sent out by the National Security
League. Very few people In he coult
try have stopped to realize how in our
body polite the rural committees are
Disseminated against in the matter OF
socializing forces. Our great cities
have their amusements. their munich
pal halls and baths. their community
kitchens, their public libraries and lee
ture courses and innumerable settle
ments and clubs where people are
drawn together and stimulated men
tally and spiritually. We feel that
some of these advantages should be
brought to the country districts.

PLACE OF DISMAL HISTORY
Roanoke Island Known to Fame Be-
cause 1t Was Site Of RaleIeh's
ill-Fated Colony.

Off desolate stretch Of sandy beach
in North Carolina lies Roanoke island,
the birthplace of Virginia Dare, the
| first English child born in America.
Sir Walter Raleigh was responsible
for Roanoke island being placed on the
pages of history, for in 1855 he sent out
a colonizing expedition to America, and
fate and the rough winds of the Allan
tic cast the ship up on Roanoke is
land. On account Of the climate, the
lack of food and the ubiquitous In
dian the island was voted as unin-
habitable by the colonists, who packed
their belongings and took the next
ship back to England and civilization.
But Raleigh was not discouraged. He
sent out another colony, which consent
ed to stay, and the man in charge of
the expedition returned with the glad
news. -Four years later, when Sir Wal
ter Raleigh sent him to report on the
progress of the colony, he found on
the island no trace of settlers or set
Element save the inscription "Croatan"
carved on q tree. Sir Walter then
gave up the Roanoke island project as
hopeless.
Roanoke island has now been In
habited for many years, chiefly by fish
ermen and life-savers. The latter are
negroes from the coast guard station
at Pea island, which is separated from
Roanoke island by the sound. Pea
island, the only coast guard station In
this country manned by negroes, is off
q dangerous section of the coast. A
derelict ship cast on the beach is suck.
ed farther into the sands by each
tide. The colored guardsmen have
established an excellent record In
trying and dangerous station.-Chl

LOOKING AHEAD.

In the minds Of the citizens of de-
mocracy the idea that service is due
to the government from every one
must be firmly implanted or the en-
franchised cease to be representative
of such a government
The selective draft answers the pur-
pose of this service, from a military
standpoint, during the war we are at
present engaged In, but largely be-
cause OF the fact that we have time to
prepare while our allies combat the
enemy. We must look to The future
and the possibilities of a war declared
upon US when We will have no ally.
Should this occur selective conscrip-
ton would be of no avail. Accepting
the fact that the citizen Of a democ-
racy owes his service to the govern
ment, is it not logical that we should
organize this service, which shall be
trained and equipped for an emergen-
cy and able TO act Immediately as a
perfect machine when the necessity
arises7 Few citizens but believe that
universal military training is absolute
ly necessary to the future safety of
this country and that this system
should be adopted by the government
at the first opportune moment
The speeding up of our plans to win
this war should in no way be inter-
fsred with, and future policies must
be held In check that they may not In
terfere with the winning of this war.
But when our legislators feel that the
speeding up of the war Is accomplish
ed bill should be passed creating a
system 6 universal military training
and service which will amply provide
for our country's defense in the fu-
ture, thereby assuring US against the
disaster of an attack which would find
us unprepared and completely at the
mercy Of an organized foe.

able food products. Consumers must
not forget that the use of these foods
uberases for use more concentrated
foods.
Home gardens Will cause SURPRISES
In many sections and the desirability
and healthfulness of vegetables and
fruits as food should stimulate con.
sumption and insure these perishable
products from spoilage. 1t Is held to
be absolutely unwarranted to use
canned goods when fresh products
are available. Enormous stocks OF
canned goods must be stored up for
our soldiers and AlliAs, and every one
using perishables wifi help to conserve
these goods.

Too Much Soap Bad.

Many persons abuse soap by making
a stiff, creamy lather in bathing,
under the belief that this is necessary
to dissolve dirt that fills the pores Of
the skin. On the contrary, DR.. Samuel
Dixon, health commissioner of Penn
sylvania, says very little soap is re-
quired to break up dirt and permit
water to remove foreign substances
from the pores so that glands may
perform their normal function. Ex-
cessive use Of soap usually fills the
pores with fatty substances and re-
suits in imperfect action of the sweat
glands, which is recognized as a cause
Of disease. especially Of respiratory
nature.
