PRECIOUS METALS BOARDED.

As an example of the extent to
which silver and gold is being
boarded in China, the incident is
reported OF an old woman paying
for her purchase of cotton mill
with 100000 worth of gold bars,
which she had dug out Of its hiding
place. 1t is estimated that, due to
the disturbed political condl Sons
and lack of adequate banking fa-
cilitics throughout China, at least a
billion dollars worth of silver is
similarly boarded, which may par
italy account for the present ex-
change situation.

sWARMING TIME

A small hand forcing pump is
the finest thing in the world to
drive a swarm almost where you
want it like a flock of sheep. The
spray above and around them
makes them think it will be best
to cluster Immediately.
For best results, hive the swarm
in a movable frames hive with
foundation starters in the frames.
Place the new swarm on the old
stand of the parent hive and move
the parent hive a foot or more
away with the entrance facing
the opposite direction from what
it was. Leave it a week in this
position and then move it away
to another place. This will give
the new swarm an enormous force
of bees, and supers should be plac-

Leisure is freedom from responsible

finds 1t wise to supervise a mans les-
ure as well as his work. His leisure,

is leisure transformed into a positive

Ten European nations engaged In
the great war show a potential loss in
population of 35,0O0OOO persons since
1914, according to figures compiled by
the Society for Studying the Social
Consequences of the War. Causes for
the abnormal falling off in population
were attributed as follows: Killed in
the war, 9,S19,000; deaths due TO
augmentation of mortality. economic
blockades, war epldemics, 5,3O1, 900;
fall in birth rate due TO mobilization
of 100000 men between the ages of

CONQUEST OE THE AIR.

When, next year, III making new rec.
ords in the conquest of the air. ships
of the air circumnavigate the earth In
a new record time. ii will probably
become part of history that the Pa
cific ocean, much vaster than the At
lantic, has been reduced to narrower
proportions in much less time. We
have yet to await the record to he
made in vanquishing Pacific ocean dis
tances. But what we may with safety
assume, considering all Improvements
made in air navigation since Captain
John Alcock and Lieutenant Brown
made the first nonstop flight across
the Atlantic between st. Johns and
Clifden on June 14-15. 1919, is that,
barring accidents, some of the con-
testants in next years competition
will make relatively better records in
crossing the Pacific. Distances are
much greater, says ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. The Atlantic ocean Is
5000 miles wide at its widest point,
while the Pacific Is 10000 The aver
age width of the Pacific is about twice
as great as that of the Atlantic.

A school for foreign affairs Why
wasn't such an obvious idea ever
thought of or propounded before Pro
fessor G. Young started it in the Con-
temporary Review? The English pro-
fesror sees no reason why there
shouldn't be a chair and seminar In
connection with the University of Lon
don. One of the early effects of the
war was to bring into discredit the
time-honored methods of diplomacy,
says Christian Science Monitor. The
man In the street began TO declare
that secret diplomacy must be abol-
ished and the open policy of "cards
on the table" succeed it. Professor
Young's school would mean the
ranks of diplomacy thrown open to
the best minds in a nation irrespective
of class.

Through silent trees the sunlight

signed for lazy comfort. A man whose
face seems younger than his age sits

glow and live in the placid face he

dreams and through fancy gains again
the youth that slipping and elusive,
seeks to leave his grasp, says Milwau-

NATIONAL THRIFT NEEDED.

II Is possible to save money and in
crease the sum total of our personal
satisfaction by devoting a little more
study to all the commodities that go
to make up the items of expense in
our offices, factories and homes. writes
Floyd w. Parsons in Saturday Eve
ming Post. A saving of five per cent
on the annual cost of soaps, polishes,
adhesives, disinfectants, preservatives,
fuels, lubricants, lights and so on. if
effected by several million citizens,
would total sum that would enable
US to have less crowded schools for
the Riddles and more institutions for
the sick and afflicted. In carrying out
such a plan of economy there is
great opportunity for every small con-
Germ in the United States that has no
research laboratory to develop a sort
of amateur efficiency expert whose
business 1t would be to discover and
remedy the innumerable small extrava-
gances that are so wholly unnecessary.
Let us not forget that even a small
cloud may totally hide the sun. So it
is in business. We may as well try to
beautify the rainbow as to attain sue
cess when there is laxity In the care
of so-called trifles.

1t has been found that two families
out of three who are classed as poor
owe their condition to bad habits of
spending rather than actual lack of
money. 1t is almost as important
therefore that we learn how to spend
money as to make it. 1t has been said
that even the great World war would
have been worth all it cost if it had
only taught us as a nation how to be
economical, says Boys Life. A great
educational movement is on foot to
teach boys and girls even in the early
grades of the schools how to spend
money intelligently. One Of the first
steps is to learn to keep a budget of
expenses, no matter how small they
may seem. With such a foundation a
boy begins life with an excellent start
