And Break Dry Law

WASHINGTON. - Even the
honey bees are celebrating the re-
cent ru1ing of Prohibition Com
missioner Kramer that the thirsty

ment that from time to time hts
bees, either firing of their regu-
lar work of filling honeycombs or
from pure deyilment, drop down
upon the ground under apple trees
and drink themselves drunk from
the oozing liquid from decayins
fruit. He nas made it his business
to verify this statement by close
study of his buzzing honey pro-
t,ucars.
