Let's start bee culture on a grand
scale. Let everybody keep a few
bees-not counting those in their
bonnets. Let old maids. instead of
devoting their attention to a canary
and a cat, go in for bees. The
chances are that they won't get
stung any oftener than usual. even
at that.

Advice to
Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax.
WON'T TAKE HER OUT.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 10 years Of age and 70
around quite a bot to dances with
my girl friends. Not public dances.
you understand. but dances given
by clubs to which we belong and
to which the boys and girls come
separately.
At the dances I am quite popu-
lar and the fellows seem to en-
Joy my dancing, but when IT comes
to taking me home or making a
date they never do.
Now I have gotten disguised with
them and have stopped going
around. But a person can't stay
home all the time or go always to
the movies, and / have gotten SO
that I never want to go out at all
1t seems as though none of the fell
lows think enough of me to take
me out, and yet I am considered
one of the incest girls in my set.
Is there any way in which you
could help me? I would appreciate
it from the bottom of my heart.
MARGIE.
It is quite natural that you want
beaus. Every girl does, but every
girl does not have them. You no
doubt are the type OF girl that does
not appeal to the average man
when 1t comes to taking you out.
And 1t is the average man you meet
at the dances. OF course, he likes
to have for partner a girl who
dances we'll.
Continue to 60 to the dances,
have as good a time as you can,
and some day you'll probably meet
a man who will appreciate you and
you'll be glad you didn't waste
time on the others.

Persons intending to marry must

Difference Of religion Of persons

The mutual consent of the hus-

Housewives
Nerves"

"ousemaidss knee" has given
wsy to ''housewives' nerves" as the
most prevalent malady caused by
too strict attention to domestic du-
ties. "A nerve specialist is author
ity for the statement. He says
there are moro cases Of over
wrought nerves among housekeep-
ers today than ever before.
TT IL easy to explain" he said,
because women are carrying the
brunt Of the general tension in the
home caused by the present imam
cial conditions.
"It Is the woman who must try to
stretch the old dollar to cover the
new prices: she must economic to
meet the, increased rent and she
must see that an allowance that
has not increased proportionately
with the increase in prices keeps
the children properly clothed and
shod.
THE result Is that the average
housewife not only does more work
than she should, but she has wor-
ries added that make for cases or
nerves. The average man hands
an allowance over to his wife and
then forgets details of how she

What Do You
Know of Kites

- PRINGTIME has finally arrived.
- and with its advent out will
come the tops and tho jump
ing ropes and the kites. Did you
ever wonder as you watched your
kite fly up in the air who invented
this pleasant .pastime?
Kite flying does not appear to
have been known in England more
than 225 years. In China, how
ever, 1t is of much more ancient
date: there It is a favorite out
door game, and one Of the Chinese
holidays is especially devoted to
kite flying.
The Chinese kites, too. arc most
curiously constructed, and by
means of round holes supplied with
vibrating cords, their kites are
made to produce a humming noise
like that OF a top.
Chinese kites are made in many
different shapes, some look like
birds. others are in the shape of
fish, some resemble the human form,
but the common shape that we all
know Is for many reasons tho best
that can be adopted.
The illustrious Sir Isaac Newton,
when a boy at Grantham. intro
OuCoO inc HylnB Oh paper k1tes,
and took great pains to ascertain
their best forms and proportions
and the point at which the string
should be attached to them. He
made also paper lanterns for can
dies, by the light of which he went
to school in the winter morning:
and he frequently attached these
lanterns to the tails of kites in a
dark night. so as to lead credu-
lous people to believe his candles
to be comets.
You all know how our own Ben
jamin Franklin detected electric
ity in the air by means of a long
tailed kite to which had been at
tached a key.
There are many interesting
things about kites, things of
which you would never dream when
you send your paper kite flying
high in the early spring breezes.
The power of a flying kite Is
very great; II has been made to
sustain a body in water. and even
to draw a carriage upon common
roads.

Stone Wall

with concrete, brick or stone walls
usually find II very difficult to hans
pictures or brackets In their rooms.
even when they have succeeded In
drilling or chiseling a hole IN the
concrete or brick, writes K. J.
Holmes in the Popular Science
Monthly. Neither nails nor screws
will hold in these holes. which
necessarily must be made quite
large.
Electricians who are called upon
to attach electric-hght fixtures to
such walls usually drill holeA NIL
them with lead and fasten the
screws in the lead.
Sometimes they use what 10 called
expansion sleeves, which arc so de-
signed that the screw, as II Is screw
ed into the sleeve, causes the part
of the sleeve furthest away from the
surface to expand. thus taking hrm
hold of the surrounding concrete or
brick.
All housekeepers who are not ex-
pert electrical workers should try
steel wool, such as II used for scour-
ing metal surfaces. This furnishes
an excellent substitute for lead NIL
ing or expansion sleeveA The hole
should be drilled to the depth of at
least one inch and wide enough to
hold a sufficiently large screw.
Then place q wad of steel wool in
the hole and drive your screw
through the wool into the hole.
You will find II impossible to pull a
screw fastened in this manner out
of the hole with your hands.
