Maurice Maeterlinck, the Belgian
poet, generally is credited with
knowing more about bees than any
one else in the world. In fact, he
once wrote a book about the bee
which is taken as the standard text
in our best bee circles. However
much Maeteriinck may know about
bees he can't be more familiar with
their life and habits than Isidore B.
Dockweiler, of Los Angeles, who
carried the fght before the Demo-
cratic. National Committee which
sent the Democratic convention to
San Francisco. Dockweiler knows
so much about bees that he can
talk all afternoon on their habits,
and more than that he can hold the
attention of his audience just So
long as he chooses to talk and
finally leave them with such a de-
sire for honey or their palates that

She followed Dad into the house,
and, pulling up a chair, thrust her bare

Since the World has been the leading
metropolitan organ of the Wilson adj
ministration this aroused great inter
est and some excitement in the Demo
cratic camp. The important question,
of course, was whether or not it meant
that Mr.. Hoover was the choice of Mr..
Wilson. No one could answer this Of
hcially. Some of the Southern Demo-
Gratis said they would not favor Hoover
ecaus they considered him a Repub-
ucan; some of the members of the
party from the West thought the farm
ers would oppose him because he put
a fixed price on wheat and let cotton
soar. Mr.. Hoover himself maintained
a dignified silence. The secretary of
the Bryan league says Colonel House
Is responsible for the Hoover boom.
There has been some talk of Edward
1. Edwards, the wet governor of New
Jersey, as the Democratic nominee,

more, If Homer S. Cummings favors
Edwards he will never again be N

party if Bryan can prevent 1t. So

The conference of the Baltic nations
closed with The appointment of n COM
mission to york out a plan for a de-
fensive alliance against soviet Russia.
Contrary to expectations, there was
not even discussion of the question of
making peace with the bolsheviki.
Lithuania wanted to form an alliance
with Esthonia and Latvia against Po-
land, and when this was rejected the
L~ithuanians virtually withdrew from
the conference. 1t is intimated that
Lithuania may make alliances with
both soviet Russia and Germany,
which would make the position of Po-
land even more uncomfortable than it
now is.

"Sing 'Baraboo-boo-boo.'"
Dad hesitated.
ut amt hardly a song" he admitted.
ITS more like words set to a noise"
Sing 'Baraboo,'" reiterated Miss
Doody.
Dad cleared his throat n pitched
his voice in a key which both amazed
n delighted his visitor.
Away to the Baraboo-boo-boo ~ sang
Dad Justify. "To the Baraboo, away,
away! Away to the Baraboo-boo-boo!
To the Baraboo, away, away!"
Almost n disinterested listener
would have agreed that Dad had de-
scribed his song rather well. 1t sound
ed like a hungry coyote bowling in a
bunch of willows.
"Sing 1t again. and trot me-" COM
manded Miss Doody, sliding from her
chair to climb into Dads lap.
She came the next day after school
hours, and the next day, and the day
after that, always bursting into the
room in a ann which suggested
flight INT each time the same dialogue
took place between them.
"Sing Baraboo.'"
"Aw-you don't want to hear 'Bara-
boo"
"'Baraboo.' Make a lap. The but
tons on your coat hurt my ear. Therel"
Away to the Baraboo-boo-boo!"
"Trot mel"
''To the Baraboo. away, away! Away
to the Baraboo-boo-boo !"
1t was a ravishing song!
