Honeybees LazyAt
Times, Say Experts

WASHINGTON. March e4.-To
speak OF h.oneybaes loafing may
seem paradcUical, but the alleged in.
dustry of h~oneybees is something OF
a myth. declares Z. f. Philips. de-
partment of agriculture apiculturist.
1.-THE average worker bee IN the
hands OF a poor b~cekeeper makes
only a few trips n day for nectar, -
aid Mr.. Phil rs recently. when
the bees are rearing a brood the bee
keeper must manage the hive SO fin
ished work is e.ther removed or
properly placed. Otherwise loafine
viii result Finished work near the
brood slows down field work. Proper
conditions within the hive causes the
bees to make additional trips to the
fields and thus to increase the honey
crop"
Upwards OF 1000. 600 people in the
United States keep bees. It is esti'
mattel, and bee colonies number
about 5000. 900. In spring these co..
onies average about $4,000 bees each
and after brood,rearing they number
ia 900 or more wirker bees. Honey
production adds about $50 900 900 an
nually to the wealth OF the nation
and provides a valuable addition TO
the diet of tho people.
The idea that bees work for moth.
ing and board themselves in quite
erroneous. according to Mr.. Phillips.
During the main honey1low the ef.
f,cient ~bcekeeper must be on the
job daily and hourly, as highly skill
full work is required OF him The
modern beekeeper finds bees more
productive than cd his predecessor
yet he earns all he gets. Mr.. Phillips
believes. and in these days of low
honey prices no earns more than he
actually receives.

PROJECT TO sEGREGATE
CHICAGO STREET TRAFFIC

CHICAGO. March 24.-By The
Associated Press)-Technical experts
OF the Chicago plan commission are
working out e comprehensive street
plan for the city that will s~egreEate
various kinds OF traffic and provide
specific streets for specified varieties
OF traffic
One system Of thoroughfares will
be restricted to light. rapid-moving
vehicles and another to heavy slow.
moving ones. The width of the
streets VIII be adjusteN to the types
and volume OF traffic they will be
called upon to bear. and paVements
Of all streets will be especially de-
signed to accommodate the kind Of
traffic that will use them
An ingenious color scheme hns
been proposed which will compel traf.
fic tc use the proper streets, BY this
scheme anyone at any time can tell
instantly whether a vehicle is on the
proper street. and. IL not. can re-
port the violation OF the ordinance to
the proper city authority. The idea
Is that all trucks OF similar capacity
shall bear easily distinguishabIe
Signs Of the same kind. For instance
all vehicles OF five tons capacity
would bear a rcd plate or sign. The
streets over which such a truck could
PASS would be marked by signs bear.
ing the same color. All
using vehicles of n description
WOULD be marked by signs bearing
the same color. AL usinE
vehicles OF any description would be
furnished with a city map showing
by similar oolors tie classification
of every thoroughfare in tho city. and
the allowable weight Of loads on the
different classes OF pavements.
The cost OF installing street signs
and Of %malntininE an adequate force
to compel compliance with such reg
ulatory measures until the system
becomes self-operative, would DO but
a small fraction of the annual sum
ndw alleged to be wasted by the
destruction OF p~avements long before
they should have outlived their use
tuiness, according to the plan.
Light traffic streets would be
paved with less expensive pavement
than now demanded to bear their
traffic, anc often the width OF the
pavement could be decreased, result
ing in stiil more saving to the tax
payer and the city in general.
At the same time the commission
believes, the traffic and other needs
of the city and its people could be
much better served than Is possible
at present.
