HOW BUSY IS 4 BEE

Man has been told to go to the ant for thrift and to the bee for industry since before the first stone of the pyr- anids was laid. Poets and philoso- phere have held up these insects as our models and while we have held no grudge against either the ant or the bee for setting us such virtuous examples We sometimes have wonder cd whether they were as thrifty or in dust.ious as they seem. In particular, We had our doubts about the bee whose days were spent in slipping nee tar
 Now science has settled our suspi- cions. Laboratory wizards have been at work studying the working activity of the bee, measuring his flight, esti- mating his endurance and weighing his labors in honey. If the conclu sions reached are anywhere near accu- so to the traction of a grain, we pros trate ourselves most dizZily before the hive and we confess that human ac- tivity pales into insignifcance when compared with that of the honeyma- ker.
 Scientific authority informs us that ia pound jar of honey which can be bought for less than half dollar there is the concentrated essence of 62,000 flowers, necessitating about 2,500000 visits to collect it. Not un- frequently the journey from the hive to the flower and back may entail the flight of two miles, so that the storing of a pound of honey in the hive may call for journeys that may aggregate more than 5,000,000 miles on the part of the colony And when We are told that a single colony of bees will pro duce from sixty to eighty pounds of honey in a season we may come to appreciate the fact that the distance to the farthest star would not faze these tiny speeders.
 And speaking of speed the bee, the housefly and the mosquito can step on the gas to the tune of eighty miles an hour when their lives are endan- gered, though their ordinary gait Is between thirty and forty.

For every life that is taken away

For every life that is taken away one is given to the world. The last century the ratio has increased, the births greatly exceeding the deaths, but when a certain stage of population is reached either war or pestilence or famine will wipe out the surplus and restore the balance. If man had been born slothful and contented the popu- lation of the world would have over run its borders. Man was made in- tolerant and quarrelsome to overcome this balance. Unlike the lower ami mals and plants his. brain quickly for muiates plans of defense, and it be- comes necessary for his removal by other means.

Every citizen of Alaska should re- ceive a pension when he or she reaches a certain age. There is no question about the justice of such an act; but we believe that these pen sions should be paid only to residents of Alaska When man or woman leaves Alaska to make their ohme in the States they are no longer resi- dents, and the territory should not pay them pension. To do so would add a tremendous burden in time to the taxpayers remaining in the country. It would be taxation without representa- tion.

DEATH OF FAMOUS MOVIE STAR
Wallace Reid, a FavOrite With Every
body Passes Away at Hollywood
Sanitarium, Los Angeles, Calf.

Wallace Reid, hero of filmdom died
Thursday afternoon in the Hollywood
Sanitarium, at Los Angeles, Cal, in
which he had been under treatment
for more than month The direct
cause of death, according to physicians
at his bedside, was congestion of the
lungs and kidneys, induced by the pa
TENTS recent nervous collapse. Ac-
cording to DR.. G. S. Herbert, who has
been attending Reid since he entered
the sanitarium, the actors health was
broken by his fight to break himself of
the use of narcotics. Reid, who was
six feet tall, and whose normal weight
was 1876 pounds, had lost sixty pounds
during the past several weeks. Up to
about a week ago relatives said he
was improving and would be able to
resume work in the studio of the Fa-
nous Players-Lasky Corporation by
July at the latest. "I'm winning the
fight mamma" was his invariable
greeting to his wife, when she called
on him. Mrs. Reid said her husband
contracted the drug habit during an
illness nearly two years ago. His
fatal seige began last November when
while working at Los Angeles, Calf,
on a picture, he suddenly collapsed.
He was advised to take long rest
and started on a mountain trip with
Mrs. Reid, and Teddy, his trainer. On
his return to Los Angeles, his condi-
tion showing no improvement, he went
to the sanitarium.
MOther-in-Law Tells Secret
Shortly before Christmas his family
made public the cause of his break
down. Mrs. Reid declared she believ-
ed the information might aid in arous-
ing the American people to the neces-
sity of suppressing the narcotic traffic
The announcement by his mother-in-
law was that more than a year before
while working in studios in New York
under strain of illness, he used drugs
for a stimulant to hold him uI
through production of picture, which
Smyrna times., 1923-01-24

later gained fame as one of his best.
This was revealed later to have set
the drug habit upon him and finally
last fall, he broke down at the Holly
wood studio and went under a phy4
sician's care. 1t was a fight to the
finish to conquer the drug habit, his
family made known ans during the
past month he was close to death on
several occasions. At Christmas he
rallied, and indications were that he
was on the road to convalencence.
Only a short time ago his condition
was reported showing signs of i'm
provement and his return to the
screen was set for next July.
Began His Career in Vaudeville
Reid was born in st. Louis, Mo-, in
1892, and educated in New York. His
stage carer began in vaudeville with
his father in "The Girl and the Rang
er." Later he entered the motion
pictures in the early days of this in
dustry, being associated with Selig,
Vitigraph and Universal. He enter
ed as a general utility man. He
wrote, acted and directed. He was
later employed by D. w. Griffith, in
the production of "The Birth of a
Nation" and entered the Lasky en-
ployment in Geraldine Farrar's Gear
men," He was married to Dorothy
Davenport. motion picture actress
whom he met years ago when she was
starring at Universal City, and he was
an assistant director and utility man.
They had one child and adopted a
| second.

Tuesday and Wednesday-"A Poor

and cOunterplot, virtue and villainy,
are all excellently compounded in the
Goldwyn picture, "a Poor Relation, -
starring Will Rogers. The story re-
lates the trials of philosophic inven-
tor, Noah Vale, who cares more about
the welfare of two orphans he has
adopted than about the success of his
invention. As the kind-hearted phil
osopher, Will Rogers gives an inimit-
able performance. He is an actor
who never disappoints; and in "a
Poor Relation" he is cast in role
and in a picture that are as real as
