Talk About Busy Bees

Some authorities state that the hon
ey bee often journeys as much as two
miles from its hive, to the flower and
back.
Figure for yourself, invites The Pro
gressive Grocer, the distance the bee
is likely to travel to make a pound
of this delicious sweet! 1t takes g.
900 blossoms to make a pound of hon
ey. A good seasons work for single
colony of bees averages so to so

a case, not of dressing to counteract
certain ma ational characteristics, but
to make them more apparent. For
the English woman is naturally tall

length of limb and straight contour
The French woman is shorter and
Tounder- The stripes make the Eng
lish woman look straighter and more
angular.
Judging from the stripes one sees
in the shops at present il would seem
that we have some Anelo-Saxon pc
culia rites ourselves. The shop win
dows display yards and yards of the
most striking stripes in the more
vivid colors. Sometimes you wonder
who will wear them all, Inside the
shops these same materials are shown
with pride and the salesman in
charge assures you that they are the
latest thing
Doubtless the reason that they are
the latest thing is that they lend
themselves admirably to the straight
up and down type of frock that fash
ion still favors for sport wear
actual or assumed. If we wore full
gathered skirts these wide stripes
would never do. Nor would they lend
themselves to the "gored skirts" of
generation ago.
The sketch shows a really charm
ing little frock made of yellow and
blue striped silk. which fastens in the
front with blue buttons. A blue kid
belt finishes the color scheme. The
hat, following the rule of the season,
should be of matching blue or yellow.

Reddy Has a Dream.
May all your dreams be fair and sweet,
Concerning things mostly 10 eat.

Reddy Fox. curled up at the back of
Buster Bears bedroom in a cave in
the Green Forest. was dreaming. Be
hind Reddy Peter Rabbit was pris-
oner in a little hole which wasn't
much more than crack in the wall
of that cave. Reddy's dream was a
very pleasant one. He was dreamlng z
that he had found a cave which was
full of rabbits. He was sitting in
front of that cave, smacking his lips
and trying to make up his mind which
of those rabbits was the fattest and
tenderest.
None of those rabbits could get out
of that cave. All he had to do was to
help himself to as many as he pleased.
He was about to have the finest rabbit
dinner that ever fox had. He actu-
ally sighed with enjoyment. Just as
he had decided that a certain fat
young rabbit was sure to be tender
and would be just the one to start
with he heard noise behind him. II
was a queer noise. II was part whine
and part grurt and part growl.
Reddy turned his head. Tme. :
standing right behind him was the
biggest bear he had ever seen. This
bear was twice as big as Buster Bear.
He was grinning at Reddy in a most
unpleasant way. He was looking at
Reddy very much as Reddy had been
looking at all those rabbits.
such a nice fox for my dinner"
said the great big bear. My, my,
such nice fox! And | am so hun
cry"
Reddy forgot those rabbits He
thought of nothing but getting
away from that great big bear. He
gave a mighty jump and then-ReAdy
Fox awoke. 1t had all been a dream,
you know.
For a moment Reddy couldn't think
where he was. Then he remembered d
that he was at the back Of Buster
Bears bedroom, keeping Peter Rab-
bit a prisoner in a little hole. He
turned 10 put his nose TO that little
hole to make sure that Peter was
still there. Just as he did it he heard
the strangest noise behind him. II
was part whine and part grunt and
part growl. 1t was very much like
the noise he had heard the big bear
make in his dream.
This time Reddy Fox really did
jump.
Yes, SIR. he really did jump He
jumped right over Buster Bear. and
the way he went out of Buster Bears
bedroom proved there was nothing
the matter with Reddy's legs. He
knew that that strange noise had
been made by Buster Bear He
guessed that Buster was waking from
his long sleep. and he had no desire

FORM S|STERHOOD
Maryland Maids, Exponents
of Old Fashion, Propose
to Be Exclusive.

COLLEGE PARK, Md, January 81.
A move against bobbed hair has
been begun at the University of
Maryland, where the girls with un
shorn tresses are in the minority by
a wide margin. However, those who
have seen fit to hold on" to a full
suit of hair are not faxed by being
greatly outnumbered and are plan
ming to take an organized stand for
the "old idea" All co-eds possessing
unshorn locks will be asked to join
the ranks.
Although the long hair advocates
have not revealed completely their
plans, several points are known. For
example, they have drawn up a con-
stitution which they plan to present
to the college authorities for accept
ance. In it they not only foster the
long hair movement but they pledge
themselves to do welfare work, the
nature of which has not been decided
A census of heads showed sthat
there are about five bobbed haired
girls to one with long tresses at the
university. Needless to say, those in
the majority are wondering what sort
ing to use to increase it's numbers
However. according to authoritative
information from the crusading group
there will be no propaganda" what
ever. Through their exclusiveness, it
is said, the anti-bobs hope to gain
their influence.
