The largest American diamond

the size can be obtained from the fact
that fine engagement rings seldom

BEES LIFE SOCIALISM ESSENCE.

Socialism in its very essence, where

nature to the last detail in the bee
colony studies at the Department of
Agriculture bee station. Efficiency is
the absolute rule and all that is su-
perfuous and unwanted is promptly
disposed of.
Birth control is practiced and the
new generation is raised in proper

the size of the prospective honey

bit and when they are no longer
wanted are promptly and heartlessIy

The life of the hive centers around
the queen. She is by far the largest
of the bees and on her devolves the
duty of providing the new genera

her life varies from one to three
years, dependent upon the number of
eggs she lays. A comb is prepared

for the first ten days to two weeks
of its life it works on a new comb
The young make all the combs and
polish them in preparation for the
honey storing. When there are INSULT

worker bees" do it, but il is the
duty of the young in the life of the
colony. When the worker bees are
forced to do it, apparently the queen
is informed by some means and she
lays more eggs.
The male bees. or drones, are pres
ent and tolerated for the one purpose
of reproduction. They require more
food than the worker bees and are
cared for by the colony at large

Miser himself has been able to
pick up a few diamonds which he
turned over to the owners of the land.

holds.
Although some OF The Arkansas

ever have been recovered from the
famous Jagers Fountein mine in South
Africa. some of them bringing $500

clusters nor have they been gathered
together in volcanic pipes as is the
case in South Africa
Are any other regions of the United
States likely to bear a crop of dia-

A sentence of one year in the

of the prohibition laws and repre-
senting himself as a prohibition
officer, housebreaking and robbery,
and felonious assault. Following
his plea of guilty on the robbery
charge, the other indictments were
nolle pressed.
Together with Leo H. Graves,
another former Washington police
man, and four other men, Demp-
sey was alleged on the night of
July Ia last, to have gone to the
home of Robert Arnold, in New
Alexandria, Fairfax county, and to
have represented himself as a pro-
hibition officer. He is alleged to
have entered and searched the
home Of Arnold, later forcing Ar
mold to go into an automobile with
his party, and then to have robbed
him of $102 in cash.

ILLEGALLY
Chairman Finds Members Have
Been Making Returns Upon
Exempt Capital.

Myriads of persons receiving part
of their income from dividends or
interest paid by building and loan
associations throughout the coun-
try, have been paying taxes on
part of their income which is eX-
empt. G.. Clinton James, chairman
of the Federal Legislative Commit
tee of the United States League of
Local Building and Loan Associa-
tions, is calling the attention of
the nearly 100000 members of

the Income Tax law specifically
exempting the first $500 of such
income received by any individual.
This provision of the law remains
in effect until January ], 1927,
and applies to all building and loan
association members, except those
who belong to organizations which
make loans to nOn-memberS.
1t is necessary to point out this
fact to members, Mr.. James said,
as the income tax blanks make no
reference to the exemption. He
urges that when the exemption is
claimed, the name and address of
the building and loan be given.

HIS DAILY SPIT
BRINGS HIM
TROUBLE
Woman on LampIighter's Route
Thought Expectoration
Directed at Her.

Nicola Nicola, Italian, who claimed
the distinction of being on the staff
of Government street lamplighters
for more than seventeen years with
no delinquency, today narrowly es'
capted an interruption in his record
that would have taken him to the
workhouse.
Since he first obtained the position
Nicola has been assigned to the same
rOuteIt extends from First street
northeast to Fourth street northwest
and includes Myrtle street. A few
doors away from No. Is, on that
street, was situated the lamp that,
among other things, he used as a
splitting station. All went wellt until
a few weeks ago, modern Eve al
most caused his downfall.
About the tine Nicola arrived to
extingulsh the light in the lamp,
Anna De Lucia, Italian beauty, who
resided at No. Is, came along fer
breakfast foods from the grocers.
For many weeks, these accidental
early morning meetings took place,
Nicola taking his daily spit at the
lamp post without one days fail
ure, or lrregular.ty.
Annals dignity was hurt. She be
lieved that the lamplighter had been
splitting at her. However, she told
no one.
But last Friday, her patience had
been exhausted. When she encount-
cred the lamplighter, he took his
usual spit, and according to her tes-
timony, turned around and began
chasing her with the sick he used
to l. ght or extinguish the lamps. She
admitted that he did not strike her.
Nevertheless, she swore out a war
rant charging him with assault.
'He speet on me ever morning
no know why" cried the Italian
maiden before Judge Mcmahon.
'I no speet on her" insisted
Nicola II juest light lamp, and
speet at lamp pole; I do it for sew
enteen years.
Judge Mcmahon dismissed the
case against the man, when he ex
blamed that as last Friday had
been a rainy morning he wanted to
get through sooner. While running
to the lamp, he had made his ha-
Ritual spit. and lifted his stick to
pull the switch on the light.

otherwise known to millions of
theater-goers as Pola Negri, de-
clared today.
Miss Negri gave to Cosmopolitan
News Service the first exclusive
interview on the subject of her
marriage to Charlie Chaplin in
general and it's relation to her
part in particular. She said:
II can't see why marriage should
hinder either nay art on the stage
or screen or my standing with the
public in any way. On the con-
we have Of our work should aid

Besides being one man in a
thousand I believe Mr.. Chaplin is
the greatest artist that ever lived.
His wonderful mentality and artistic
sense are an inspiration to me-"

Miss Negri declared the success
or marriage is aided where both
husband and wife are interested in
he same subject and, barring a
lack of mutual sympathy and under
standing, the mating of those who
nave the same occupations is in.
Variably successful.
