r"The Nerviest Kid in America"
 That's the title sporting editors all over theN country have handed Cam eron Coffey,s the worlds greatest boy diver, now appearing in motion pie lures. ..s ..,
 From the. time he was able to walk young Coffey was able to swim. And at the age of two he became expert diver, so that he soon "head- lined" programs all over America.
 When he was five years old he was performing one night at the Los An geles Athletic Club. During series Of fancy dives he missed his footing of the tank, sustaining basal frac- ture of the skull For weeks he
 was not expected to live. And even after it was certain that he would live, nobody ever expected him to swim again.
 Hes done as diver" said the wise ones. Hell never come back --this has surely broken his nerve Nothing of the sort. Some months |later Cameron surprised them all by beating his own height record by 10 feet. besides inventing a couple of
 brand-new and difficult aquatic stunts.

Honey Bee Always Favored.

The honey bee is supposed to have
played a role In the lives OF all the
more important Egyptian, Greek and
Roman divinlties. Among LatIns 1t
even had divinity of its own. the
goddess Mellonia. Medieval Christians
seem to have been quite as eager to
show their appreciation OF the insect.
While the house-fy had to be satisfied
with the patronage Of Beelzebub. and
the ant was given SO obscure a patron
as ST. Saturinus, the honey bee en-
joyed the special favor OF the Virgin
or was even made the "ancilla Jomlni, I"
