GREAT MANS SON FORGOTTEN
Lafayette's Boy, Named for George
washington, Was Once a Refugee
In This Country.

The Century company says that
comments provoked by Sword of Lib
erty." recently published by Them I'M
messed them with the fact that the
average American seems never to nave
heard of George Washington Lafayette.
II seems strange that his story was
mot exhibited during the wartime re-
surgence of enthusiasm about LaIay-
cite and his noble friendship for this
country: yet how many Americans
know that Lafayetts had son named
affer his fast friend. General wash
,pgton. or that the boy was at one
time a refugee in this country?
The story is part of the background
of the account of two revolutions
American and French-contained In
the book. Following the earlier phase
of the French Revolution. during Wnich
LAFAYETTE was so immensely popular,
and after the hostility TO his modera-
ton had developed which drove him
into exile. he sent his son to America,
to tbe care of the American George
washington for whom he was named.
1t y IS his boy, according TO the
a, thcrs. Frank w. and Cortelle j.
H ltchins, who, on returning from
America. dug up from the garden OF
the Paris residence where they had
been buried, the two swords given to
LAFAYETTE by the American congress
and the French republic in recognition
of his services In the two republics.
This Georges Washington Motier de
LAFAYETTE was born in 1873; he was
therefore but thirteen when he fed
to sAmericadn 1892 and his distinguished
father to the neutral territory of Mege.

Trade Schools for Woman.

Argentina's recently organized Social
Federation of Women Confederation

chief objects the establishment of trade
schools for women and girls In order
20 teach the elements Of the manual
trades, thus making more women eco

the sphere of their activities. Thus
far 1t has organized two such schools
one of which has an attendance of 40
girls, who are learning to make mems

Sir John Jackson, the great English

more docks than any other contractor
In the world, has pet dream--that of
linking Britain to the continent by the
erection of a great bridge across the
English channel which will defy the
attacks of the severest storm.

About forty or City pounds Of acid

results will show whether 1t will pay

LEGION HoNoRED ALL DEAD
Organization Participated In Services
at Final lnterment Of Men
Brought Home.

Army transports in which many Of
them went across eager for the con-
flict have carried back the last Of the
$4,000 A. E. f. dead, those relatives
had requested to be returned to this
country for permanent burial. The
graves registration service Of tho
army, which had the work Of return.
ing these bodies in charge, did an al
most superhuman task. But this
service could not give the comradely
human touch to the handling Of these
bodies after they reached the United
States that seemed due them.
No organization was so well suited
to perform the last. rights Of honor
and respect for these soldier dead as,
was the American Legion. The men Of
the Legion took upon themselves the
obligation. Forty ship loads Of bodies
came to eastern ports during period
of two and a half years. 1t was not
always possible to have an elaborate
service. because the arrivals were too
frequent, but in. every instance there
was at least prayer by a chaplain
of the Protestant, Catholic or Jewish
faith, an address by prominent citi--
zen or army officer and rifle salute.
A number Of times. however, the
services were noteworthy. President
Harding delivered an address at
services arranged by the Legion. May
: %, 1921, when the Princess Matoika
arrived with 451 bodies General
Pershing and Senator Lodge spoke
when the Somme and the Wheaton ar-
rived, July 10, 1921, with 1000 dead.
The last cargo Of bodies arrived In
Brooklyn. in April, 1922, on the Cam.
brai. On that occasion, the body Of
Private Charles w. Graves, Company
M, One-hundred and Seventeenth In
fantry, Thirteenth division, was borne
on caisson through the streets, lined
with silent throngs, to the army base,
where simple ceremonies marked the
close Of the last public demonstration

BEEkEEPING OFFERS
BIG OPPORTUNITIES
Clover Region Particularly Adapt.
ed to Industry.
Few Places In Which Il 10 Not Possh
Bile to Keep Honey Gathersrs
With Good Profit Under
Proper Management.

(Prspared By the United States Departments
OF Agrculture.l
The clover region Of the United
States offers splendid opportunities for
beekeeping. These possibilities. to-
gether with the requirements neces-
sary for the success Of the undertake
Ing, are discussed In recent publica-
ton Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, Farmers Bulletin 1915,
Bookkeeping In the Glover Region, BY
2. F. Phillips and George 8. Demuth
Of the division Of Bee-Culture Investi-
cations. While not oil parts of the
clover region are equally good, there
are few places, 1t Is pointed out, In
which it Is not possible to keep bees
with profit under proper management.
The typical clover region occupies
the northeastern part Of the United
States, extending west into Minnesota
and south approximately to the Ohio
river and Mason and Dixon's line. It
appears on the west coast In WASH
ington and Oregon. In both east and
west the region extends into Canada,

some of the best portions being To-
Gated north Of the national boundary.
Limited areas Of less value are found
outside these boundaries.
The opportunities for beekeeping in
this region, are not being utilized as
completely as In some other beekeep-
ing regions Of the country. There are
vast areas Of the clover region not adj
equately covered by bees, and also
many places where, because Of the
methods of beekeeping practiced, the
beekeepers are failing to produce the
best possible crops.
Bookkeeping to be profitable in this
region must be conducted with all pos
sible skill. Better methods, it Is be-
lieved, will result in q greater devel-
opment Of the industry. Because Of
the presence of European foulbrood in
some parts Of the clover region, and es-
pecially because Of the superior quail
ity Of the Italian race Of bees, the bee
keeper Of this region will find 1t great
ly to his advantage to keep this va
riety. italian bees are able, under
good management, to clean out the
larvae dead Of European foulbrood.
Not all strains of this race are equal
ly good for this purpose, and the bee
keeper should take pains to get tho
best.

The construction Of q concrete trough
like that shown In the drawing Is
not difficult task and any farmer can
build it.
A watering trough should be placed
on well drained ground, because under
the best Of conditions the livestock will
In time make mud holes unless a plat
form is built, or the holes around the
trough are filed In as soon as they
are made. Sometimes 1t Is advisable
to put the trough on q small knoll in
order that the water will quickly
drain away. .p
The ground under the trough should
not only be drained but also leveled
and packed.
Outside Form Of Trough.
The outside forms Of the trough are
made Of one inch boards and 2 by f.
inch pieces as shown In the drawing.
After these forms have been securely
braced, the concrete can be deposited
In the bottom to half the depth Of the
floor. Reinforcement consisting Of X
inch round rods are then placed on
the partly constructed floor. These
rods are bent in our shape so that
the ends will project up into the sides
and reinforce the walls. All the rods
are bent to the proper shape before
any concrete work Is started, so that
they can be quickly put in and the re-
mainder Of the concrete floor placed
without delay or making any joints.
The inside form which has been
made previous to mixing any of the
concrete Is then quickly lowered In
proper place and fastened to the out
side forms with clamps as shown in
the drawing. Speed is necessary In
order that the walls can quickly be
placed SO there will be strong bond
between walls and floors.
