etc.?" How doth she, indeed! Ao-
cording to recent observations OF ir-
reverent, hard-headed, practical OBJ
servers. this is the way she doth;
She goes around gathering honey
for two shining hours, and then she
sneaks home to the hive and lays
of, stuffing herself from her store
of sweets, and lazily working her
wings Just enough to keep herself
cool-sweet food being heating, as
everybody knows. She acts precise
ly like the idle women we sometimes
read about who spend the afternoon
dipping into handy bon-bon box
and furnishing motive power to a
palm-leaf fan.
After a while this gormandizing
lethargy pals on Mrs. Bee. The con-
centrated food she consumes pro-
duces so much energy that she Just
has to get outdoors and work II of
somehow. So she proceeds to take
the only exercise she knows anything
about, and makes her flower-rounds
again. Two hours on duty and two
OFF seems to be her usual schedule.
The experts say they have yet to
find the bee that puts in an eight
hour day.
There is only one hope left-the
ant. And after this saddening reve-
lation, we're almost prepared to
learn that Mrs. Ant is a hypocritical
loafer.

EXPLOSIVES FOR FERTILIZER

Isaiah's promise that swords
should be beaten into plowshares
and the spears into pruning hooks
is given new and wonderous ver-
sion in one of the peace measures
adopted by the United States gov
ernment.
The modern equivalent for swords
and spears, as everybody knows, is
explosives. Instead of cutting up
the enemy, we blow him up. And
the chief ingredient of our many
blowing-up mixtures is nitrate.
Now, it happens, strangely enough,
that nitrate is also one of the most
necessary and valuable substances
used in agriculture. 1t is just as
good to make things grow as 1t is
to smash things-as good to create
as to kill. Chemists say. indeed,
that the process is very much the
same in both cases, and that the
stimulus given to plant growth by
the nitrate might be described as
an infinite number of infinitely
small explosions in the plant cells.
So It is perfectly fitting that the
war department should be turning
over to the agricultural department
more than 10000 tons of nitrate
OF soda for distribution among Am.
erican farmers.
That would be enough to kill hun.
dreds Of thousands of Germans. Il
is also enough to produce million!
of bushels OF grain and save vas
numbers Of hungry Europeans from
starvation. Wonderful are the way
of Providence.
