Bees Are Prone to Loaf,
Saws ADiarv SueciaIist

To speak of honeybees loafing may
seem paradoxical, but the alleged in
dustry of bees is something of a
myth, declares E. F. Phillips, De-
partment of Agriculture specialist.
1.-THE average worker bee in the
hands of poor beekeeper makes
only a few trips day for nectar"
said Mr.. Phillips recently. when
the bees are rearing a brood the
beekeeper must manage the hive so
finished work is either removed or
properly placed. Otherwise loafing
will 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 / 900 900 people in the
United States keep bees, it is es-
timated. and bee colonies number
about 100000.

Government Warns Collector
Against Attempt to Import
"Non-Infected" Tsetse Fly

'tNo man having the African
sleeping sickness can come into
the United States. If he had the
disease he'd probably die before
reaching our shores.
"We have neither the disease
nor the tsetse fly, the carrier,
and there would have to be a
transmission of both to cause
sleeping sickness"
IMPORTATION FORBIDDEN.
Such is the answer of DR.. L. o.
Howard, Ph.D., LID, chief OF the
Bureau Of Entomology, Department
of Agriculture, to the request OF an
American wild animal collector in
Africa to bring to this country
living tsetse. flies fed by his own
blood.
In a letter to university, the
animal collector said the flies would
be ..non-infected" if he fed them
on his own blood. But the depart.
nnent has written him not to at
tempt the venture.
''The collector said the proposed
importation involved no more
danger than the handling of an I'M
loaded shotgun unused DIR.
Howard. He continued:
From the time of Stanley and
Livingstone to present day ex-
plorers, it has been impossible
to take cattle into the African
interior because Of biting flies.
PROBLEM OLD.
The problem is not new. The
earliest published account that
has been found was by a naval
surgeon, John Atkins, in a book
entitled Physical Observations
on the Coast of Quincy" pub
lished in 1741.
w. F. Fiske, former expert Of
the United States Bureau of
Entomology, is in Africa now,
has been there since 1911, save
the war period. studying the
problem for the Tropical Diseases
Bureau OF London. He is the
first American. broadly trained in
economic zoology, to give his en-
tire attention to the problem.
You'd be surprised to know the
requests we receive to permit
Americans to bring new things
into this country for expert
mental purposes. Only yester-
day. a woman in Idaho asked per-
mission to bring fire flies from
the East to her State. It was
for purely aesthetic reasons, be-
cause there are no fire flies west
of the Rocky mountains.
BECAME NUISANCES.
The English sparrow has be.
come a nuisance, by. driving song
birds from our cities. The bird
was brought here to kill tree in
eects.
The rabbit was taken to Aus
tralia as a pet. Later millions
Of them swarmed that country,
causing the expenditure of large
sums to herd and kill them.
The East Indian mongoose, q
small animal, was taken to the
West Indies to kill snakes. The
mongoose not only extinguished
reptiles, but also BIRDS, poultry
and small animals.
The gypsy moth, brought over
by a French professor at Har-
ward, was intended as a cross
breed for silk spinning moths, in
order to produce a race to re-
sist pebrine diseases, then ruin
ing Frances silk industry. Egg
masses were blown out Of the
professors window. A few years

"There is one thing New York
teaches its musicians" says Mrs. Clara
ID. Madison on her return from the
country's musical center last week.
"and that is, how to reach the musical
taste Of the country. New York knows
better than any other city what kind
of music will meet with popular ap-
proval: what kind of music to publish
to meet the general demand: what type
of operas and concerts will be best
received; and above all, what kind of
teaching to do. That is what i'm
pressed me most in the studios l visit
ed and in talking to managers. And
in Cincinnati and in New Orleans,
where stopped and talked with musi-
clans from various parts of the coun-
try, it seemed to be the general feel
ing that it was safe to follow New
York's lead in deciding what the pub
lie wanted in published music and in
public performances.
ut would seem that this is true Of
New York, not only for this country,
but for Europe as well. The teaching
center, the publishing center and the
center for artists for this
country and for the world is now in
New York. Yet / feel, personally,
that there are many places in the
country where music as an art, is
taught quite as well as it is in New
York-that the foundation of gen.
eral musical education is quite as
securely laid in many of the smaller
cities. This feeling was confirmed
years ago in my first New York study
with Rafael Joseffy, when he found
nothing to critize or vary in my
technic. In my recent trip / have
had the same gratifying experience
with Augusta Cottlow, Alberto Jonas

Georgia Da;;ry;;ng

IN its cheering review of conditions for the
first half of January the national de-
partment of agriculture refers particu-
larly to increase of interest in the dairying
industry in Arkansas and Georgia."
In the former, developments are described
as rapid" and the products as finding good
markets. In Georgia, while progress is not
yet so marked, the abundance of natural ad-
vantages bids fair to make the industry of
great consequence in years not far ahead.
No region is richer than this commonwealth
in basic resources for .dairying and cattle
raising Mild winters, bountiful pasturage,
excellent highway and railroad facilities, and
convenient communication with the great CEN
tiers of demand all predict for Georgia a
dairying and live stock future of exceedingly
large and profitable proportions.

A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH

A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH
After the homesteader had followed the
treasure-seeker into Alaska an ambitious
newcomer, who had more of optimism than
of experience, undertook sheep-raising. In
the eyes of the old settlers, who mainly were
gold hunters by profession, the sheep business
was debasing occupation.
An Eskimo dog, the prize performer of a
team belonging to an old prospector, killed
a sheep belonging to the ranchman and the
latter brought action for damages. The evil
dence was conclusive enough but the owner
of the guilty dog and his lawyer had wit
enough to demand jury trial of the case and
to see to it that the jury was made up exclu-
sively Of mining men.
After hearing the evidence and the argu-
ments, the twelve good men and true retired
to make a judgment Almost Immediately
they returned, and the foreman, speaking for
himself and his associates, gave this finding:
'In the fust place, ledge, this here jury
solemnly declares that this is dog country
and not no sheep country. In the second
place, this here dog has always been a peace
able dog, so it stands to reason that the sheep
must have jumped on him fust. Such bein'
the case, we decide that this here sheep man
has got to pay all the costs and don't git
no damages.
"And the dog is not guilty, on the grounds
of self-defense."

Joan Stockbridge marries Norman
Wayne, a man who all his life has trifled
with women. She chooses him in prefer
ence to Herbert Livingston, who loves
her devotedly, but who lacks Norman's
charm. Joan is confident of being able
to hold Norman, but after their marriage
he makes her miserable through his at
tentions to other women. When Edith,
Joan's younger sister, comes to visit
them, Norman carries on filtration with
her, ignoring Joan who, in desperation,
turns to Herbert Livingston, who still
loves her. The day comes when Herbert
asks her to go away with him, and on
impulse, she consents only. to find out
after they have started in Herbert's car,
that she cannot go through with it. An
accident occurs and both Joan and Her
bert are injured. Joan tells Herbert the
truth and asks him to send for Norman.

RAILROADS
By DR.. Frank Crane

By far the most important business in the
United States is the railroad business
To stop this one business or to cripple it
would be to injure every man Jack of us, for
the railroad is every mans partner.
And yet one of the most popular of the
blatherskite cries is railing at railroads.
One reason is that the railroad business
is so big. Representing such an accumula-
ton of capital, it runs up against the inferi-
GRITTY complex, which is about the most de-
pendable thing in all the world. Whoever
or whatever gets together a million dollars
or more for any reason in the world can be
pretty sure of being hated.
Some twenty billions of dollars are invest
ed in this most vital business of railroading.
Any other business would at least have to
show up per cent profit in lean years and
more in other years.
For two years of great activity this TWEEN
ty billion-dollar investment has made only
BAT per cent profit. There has even been
passed a law that it cannot make over SIS
per cent no matter how much it earns.
This twenty-billion dollar investment ought
to be the most stable in the country and
would be except for one thing. And that is
that lawmakers have pounded down it's earn
ing power.
1.-THE transportation system of the coun-
try" says j. S. Bache, els the key to success
or failure in trade and commerce; upon it's
failure to succeed means depression and hard
times in the United States"
Nowhere is there more danger from stupid
ity than in the treatment of great wealth. In
our income tax and surtax our legislators are
doing their best to drive capital out of in
dustry and guarantee unemployment.
And in like manner by continually harass-
ing the railroads we are doing our best to
cut off our nose to spite our face.
Senator BOrah said the other day: cit will
be very difficult to reduce freight rates if we
continue to increase taxes upon the railroads
as'we have in the last four years. More than
one-half of all the net earnings Of the rail-
roads which l shall mention was taken during
the last year to pay taxes" He then named
several of the greatest railroads of the coun-
try.
He added:
1.-THE tax burden comes back upon the pro-
ducer upon the shipper. 1t is another form
of tax directly upon that class of people,"
u.s. To expect the public, however, to treat fair
ly any great aggregation of capital is prob
ably to indulge in most unsophisticated cred
ulity.

My first impulse as he stood over me, fresh

1t was so long since he had held me close,
and l wanted his arms about me, l wanted

ness, to tell him that it was 1 who had been
a fool, but Ediths words fingered with me,
! and held on to myself like grim death, and
