KEEP AWAY FROM BEES. IF YOU'RE A
 PERFUME USER

New York. Aug. 5.-Ever since a bee census was ordered in Goshen, N. r., metropolis of the buzzing honey makers, tender hearted persons have been shuddering at the thought of the danger assessors might undergo in plucking each bee from its workroom or den and cuntfng it. But they might as we'll stop worrying, for w. steam to dreaded stern, said today that all the census takers have to do is count the hives.
 "Even if they did have to number each bee, it wouldn't be so bad,'' he said. Some men could count them one by one and never have to use a mask. Of course, lot would de- | pend on whether the bees were aris- tocratic bluebloods. or hybrids. The hybrids are usually the fierce ones. Still, when it comes to getting inti- mate with bees, discretion is the bet ter part of valor."
 Girls with perfume and men who use hair oil, smelly pomades or scent ed talcum better get out of the way whenever they see a bee coming. MT. Thorndyke says. He has a theory that the little honey-makers just naturally I dislike certain odors. When bee

 featuring plant, but it turns it's back
 on disagreeab1e smells. And when 6
 bee turns its back, somebody is liable | to experience discontinue.
 Bees have domestic troubles, too,
 and these often put them in bad
 humor. It is to ascertain how many of the baby bees at Goshen are sui fering from foul brood" and caus-
 ing worry to their queen and thei1 | papa bees that the census was order ed.
 l Foul brood is sometimes like sum
 mer complaint among human infants
 but more devastating. It comes
 from impure food given during the period of incubation.
 l The adult bees are not bothered by the disease. as they thrive whether
 the 1arder contains good food or bad But when the queen bee gets sick, ther
 the physical strain of weakness ul l timately affects the whole hive.

ENGLAND MAY HELP CHINESE STUDENTS
 IN FINANCIAL WAY

London, Aug. 5.-The Washington government for IA years has been ex- nending its share of the Boxer indem- mites from China for the benefit and support of Chinese students in Unit ed States. Japan has now come 1of- ward with a similar proposal ana Great Britain may follow suit.
 A departmental committee, Of which Sir John Jordan, former British min ister at Picking, is chairman, is con siderine the idea of Great Britain foreging her indemnity installment, due this year, provided China expend it for educational purposes at home The government is thought to be Ia vorably inclined. Japan also has said she was prepared to forego her share of the Chinese money under the same stipulation
 There is no question of foregoing the right to the Boxer indemnity, either by Japan or Great Britain, and if the present proposals materlallze the two governments would see that the money is actually used by the Chi nese authorities for the stipulated eo- ucational purposes.
 The Boxer indemnities were exacteo in 1901 by the powers for the attacks in China in 1899 and 1900 upon for eigners and native Christians A to- tai of II countries, including Great Britain, the United States. France, It. ally, Russia and Japan, receive yearly aIiotments. The extinction date of the indebtedness is 1945.

DOES NO GOOD TO STAND BY
 MAIL BOX AND "vAMP" CARRIER
Many Persons Mail Letters and Immediately Re- gret Action-Postal Authorities Can Help Il Approached in Right Way.

Have you ever written a letter and mailed it, and then a little while later have you ever wished you had it back again? Then what did you do? Did you go down to the mail box and stand there until the postman came around, and after asking him for the letter have him tell you he couldn't give it to you because it was against the rules?
 Many times letters are mailed with regrets following shortly thereafter Very often Dearie sits down and writes a causttc note to Jack, telling him that she hasn't heard from him in week and that the engagement doorbell rings and the mail carrier hands her three letters from Jack. They were held up somewhere.
 Mistakes Embarrassing
 Occasionally hubby puts the letter to the vamp in the envelope addressed little fapper addresses letter to Dear Freddie" and puts 1t in the envelope addressed to Charlie.
 These cases of getting the wires crossed are common but by no means the most usual The most mistakes of this sort are committed by business houses.
 Though mistakes are often made many people do not know how their letters may be returned. If the pos or package wrongly sent will be re- turned, but there are certain formali- ties which must be observed, An application blank is filled out at the office of the postmaster. and the per son making the application must fur nish an envelope similar to the one requested and the sample must con- form identically in handwriting, etc When the letter has passed from the Jurisdiction of the local office the tele-

Modern Plays To Be Staged In Old
 Roman Ruins

Florence, Italy. Aug. 5-The old
 Roman theatre at F1esoIe will this au-,
 tumn, if present plans are carried
 out, be used again for the purpose
 it was originally so well constructed
 many centuries ago. It will witness the production of a series of plays, but this time it's stone seats will be filled, it is hoped, by latter day tour. 1sts, who will find interest in the novel, idea Gabrielle d'Annunzio is giving his support to the project, and it is probable that one of his tragedies will
 be in the repetory.
 This ruin of the days of Rome is beautifully located in the ancient Etruscan town that stands upon the olie-covered hills above Florence. It has admirable acoustic properties. Nineteen tiers of stone seats still re- main in a semi-circ1e 37 yards in di- ameter, while just below these are three more rows of special seats used in o1den times by persons of rank. i It is proposed, beginning next Sep tember, to give performances every
 spring and autumn when the weather in Italy is particularly agreeable. In
 addition to the d'Annunzio play. the
 first series of productions will include l a Greek classic tragedy; a melodrama,
 probably Orpheus by Monteverde, and a drama from the pen of Q. 1a0d- iern Italian writer.

Political Enemies Merge Efforts In Official Ramcatons

 Surely these pairings of votes are enough to stir the imagination, but when Senator Borah (RO. of Idaho, voted in opposition to his old fire (R.), of California, and Senator "Jim" Watson (R.), of Indiana. a Presidential spokesman, opposed Sem ator Kellogg, of Minnesota, another administration leader, it passed the understanding of even the most veter- an Senate doorkeeper.
 It all happened over a vote on soya bean oil in the McCumber tariff bill
 Senators Spencer (R.), of Missouri, and King (D), of Utah, whose ora torical combats have delighted many a Senate audience, voted together on the same item in opposition to Sena- Senator Sheppard, 0 Texas Democrat. Senator Moses, of New Hampshire. a Republican floor leader, combined forces with Senator Pomerene, of Presidential possibility, when both voted against the action approved by Senator Wadsworth, Republican lead CT, from New York, and Senator Ken drfck, of Wyoming, strong Wilson leader.
 Tariff Provision Blocked
 This strange alignment of senators came about when the Senate tariff bloc," supported by Middle-Western Democrats, attempted to increase the tariff on Soya-bean oil. The increase was opposed by Southern Democrats and Republican members of the Sen ate Finance Committee. The vote was so close, due to the queer ar- 2S senators opposed and 2S senators filiations, that a final count showed in favor of the amendment, causing it's rejection.
 Of the number voting "Yea" 22 were Republicans and six Democrats, while of those opposed 19 were Re pubficans and nine Democrats.
 Another unusual result of the vote was the splitting of votes between senators from the same state. Mc- Cumber and Ladd, of North Dakota; Curtis and Capper, of Kansas; Un- derwod and Heflin, of Alabama; Borah and Gooding, of Idaho; Nelson and Kellogg, of Minnesota; Watson and New, of Indiana; Newberry and Townsend, of Michigan. and Pomer- enc and Willis. of ohio, voted in op- position to each other.

 Filmed in Italy so that the fullest justice might be done to the work of the popular author, this picture was screened in the exact settings of which the book tells Readers will recall that many of these settings were the magnificent castles which comprised the last and mortgaged as- set of an impoverished nobility. But despite this state of affairs, pride seemed to finger about the occupants and permission to film the buildings and grounds was often hard to se- cure.
