RADIO COMPASS SNOWPOTENT IA CTOR

In the opinion Of seafaring men.
the radio compass is now a potent
factor in the decrease of our seacoast
dangers. In she establishment Of

SCARCITY OF BLOSSOMS
FELT BY DISTRICT BEES
Effects of Late Spring Result in
Lean Honey Year

washington's bee population. after
producing a ton of honey, approx
mately, in 1920. has had an extremely
lean year during the present season.
on account of the late spring and the
failure of blossoms. And Washington
is the greatest bee city in the United
States, on account of the great num-
ber of parks. trees. flowers and plants
which produce the nectar and pollen
essential for honey.
This statement was made today by
Richard F. Green, bee expert, mission
ary, evangelist and vice president of
the Samaritan Army, Inc. who takes
issue with the census bureau. which
reported that there were only nine
teen hives in the city during 1920.
Personally, he declared, he knew Of
more than 100 hives, and through
friends in the bee industry he esti.
mated there were approximately 4O0
hives in the city today.
Although census figures said that
315 pounds Of honey were produced by
bees here in 1919. Mr.. Green declared
that a year later. in 1920. at least a
ton of honey was produced in the city.
He cited the case of Lem Carter OF 336
NJ street southwest. whose bees pro-
duced about $50 pounds of extracted
honey and more than 100 pounds OF
fine beeswax.
Mr.. Carter himself. according to Mr..
Green. has twenty hives. while there
is a man in the northwest section who
has thirty-four. The latter's little
singing workers produced 900 sec
tions of comb honey during the 1920
season.
Honey is not the only thing bees are
good for. he says. They're better than
doctors for rheumatism When the
little stinger inserts itself into the
flesh. bit Of poison is squirted into
the blood. Since it takes poison to
fight poison. the bee poison starts q
battle with the rheumatic poison and
generally comes out the victor.
And that's not all. After person
is stung few dozen times. he begins
not to mind stings at all, and rather
to like it, Sufficient singing makes
a man immune to rheumatism and
clarifies his blood. according to Mr.
Green.
But regarding this lean year-the
bees could not find pollen or nectar
Juice, and, as a result, there will not
be SO much honey or beeswax in the
District. The bees are really having
a hard time to find enough to subsfst
on, let alone working to create food
for new residents of the hives.
