PREVENT ACCIDENTS

The average newspaper. sum-

little paragraphs, most Of them
tucked away in obscure corners,
and passed over thoughtlessly
by those who are only casually
interested.

Of the world. day by day.
And isn't it about time that
we grown-up people concern
ourselves a little more with the
prevention OF accidents.
There is so much that every
one can do in a small way to pre-
vent accidents in the home and
on the streets-our own main

Association OF America. and were

for the sum of. $4,000, this being a
record price to be paid for models of
this kind.
These models have been sold to only
one store in town and upon inspec-
ton the American woman should feel
increased respect for the American
style creator.
Among the hats is a model by JOS

a deep green and gold shot taffet,
and tho entire crown is banked with
fatty applied daisies of blended brown

HON[YB[Es ARE
SOMETIMES LAZY

WASHINGTON. Mar. 24.-To speak
of honeybees loafing may seem para
doxical. but the alleged industry OF
honeybees is something OF myth. de-
clares f. F. Phillips. Department OF
Agriculture apiculturist.
The average worker bee in the
hands of a poor beekeeper makes
only a few trips a day for nectar
said Mr.. Phillips recently. when
the bees are rearing brood the bee
keeper must manage the hive so fin
ished work is either removed or prop
erly placed. Otherwise loafing viii
result. Finished work near the
brood slows down field work. Prop
er conditions within the hive causes
the bees to make additional trips to
the fields. and thus TO increase the
honey crop"
Upwards of 100000 people in the
United States keep bees, il is esti-

mated, and bee colonies number
about 100000. In spring these col
onies average about $4,000 bees each
and after brood-rearing they number
10000 or more worker bees. Honey
production adds about $50 1000 900 an
nually TO the wealth OF the nation
and provides valuable addition to
the diet of the people.
The idea that bees work for moth
ing and board themselves is quite err
oneous, according to Mr.. Philhps
During the main honey flow the eff
cient beekeeper must be on the lob
daily and hourly. as highly skilled
work is required OF him. The mod
ern beekeeper finds bees more pro-
ductive than did his predecessor, vet
he earns all he gets. Mr. Phillips be-
lieves, and III these days of low honey
prices he earns more than he ac-
tually receives.

High school,; Prof. II. H. Sturdy, OF

benefits to be derived from athletics

neat compliment to the school in con-
nection with the school monogram

progressing remarkably ever since
and this same gentleman is one of our
most generous supporters.
The indirect ways We hear from all
parts of the country, through local as

which they see Annapolis keeping up
the activities of a good-sized city as
ISOLATION, with only two employed Of
ficers on its staff.
OF these two the girls work gains
most recognition outside because OF
its extended contact with schools and
homes throughout the country. But
besides this there are twelve other
departments in the local association
all under the administration of the
general secretary. The dictionary
says that ito execute" is to follow
through to the end" that is, put into
absolute and final effect in action, and
that ito administer" is ito conduct
as one holding trust" The general
secretary of the local Y. w. c. A. is
both an executive and an administra-
tor. The board of directors is almost
entirely an administrative body, leav-
ing the execution of its policies and
program to its general secretary. To
execute the program of the associa-
ton is to put it in force. This is the
job of the general secretary. To ad-
minister the program and policies of
the association is to apply and inter-
pref them. This also is the job of the
secretary.
Invaluable services are rendered by
the volunteer board members who
represent the chairmen of the various
committees, but they would be power
