They were still at work taking what
little bit was left and Buster could
see them flying in line. disappearing
over the treetops.
Now Buster knew something about
bees. He knew that when bees start
ed for the hive. which. YOU know, is
the name Of their home. they always
flew in a straight line, because q
straight line is the shortest distance
between two points. and bees are al
ways in hurry to get home. So
Buster knew that those bees had flown
In a straight line from that broken
tree to their new home, wherever that
might be.
Buster watched them for a few
minutes Then he decided that he
would go in as straight a line as he
could in the same direction. Perhaps
he might find that new hive and get
the rest of that honey. "11l try it
anyway" growled Buster. talking to
himself. for of course there was no
one else to talk to. I'll try it any
way. There's nothing to lose and A
lot to gain. If I hadn't made UP my
mouth to that honey it wouldn't have
heen so bad. But it is almost as if
that honey had been taken right out
of my mouth. 1t is so. l want ii and
I'm going to have it if l can find it,
So Buster shuffled along in the di-
rection in which he thought the bees
were flying. He did his best to go
straight and he did pretty well, Once
or twice he thought he heard some
bees hunming over his head. That
gave him colra ge. so he kept on. And
go at last he came to the edge of the
Green Forest.
Right there Buster stopped. He
stopped short This was altogether
too near Farmer Browns. He could
look over to Farmer Browns door
ward. Looking was enough. He
couldn't think of anything that would
tempt him to go over there. Anyway,
he couldn't think of anything that
would tempt him to 90 over there in
daylinght. But he hadn't any inten-
tions of going over there. II hadn't
occurred to him that there could be
anything whatever to take him over
there.

Metal, Chiefly Trimming, in Clothes
BY MARY MARSHALL.

To be sure. there are frocks OF cloth
of gold and silver and metal brocades
and lanes and whatever else you
chose to call the metallic fabrics of
the moment. But the dressmakers
have been using them for several
seasons. Now they are showing
their ingenuity in introducing little

metalized leather or kd used and
at other times the metal effect is
achieved by way of bit Of metallic

which are to be found in any of the
up.to-date shops. are quite helpful to
the women who wants TO give a smart
touch to her frocks without great
expense.
Don't imagine that all these metal
ribbons are gold, or silver. or bronze
or copper. In fact. they are of colors
such as never were to he seen in any
real metals, though by their sheen and
lustcr they are indeed metal" There
metallic green and metallic blue and
metallic rose, and a lovely series of
metallic pastel tints. Usually these
metal ribbons are hrocaded, introduc
ing some sort of interesting design in
this way. First used by the milliners
for the trimming or making of hats.
they have been seized upon by the
dresSma kers, who use them in numer
Gus ways. Sometimes a very good
effect is made in a simple evening
frock by using a sash of wide metal
ribbon which is passed around the
waist and arranged in deep, generous
loops over one hip.
Neck ribbons are one Of the revivals
of the moment. French dressmakers
are doing s much as they wisely can
to revive high collars. They are intro
ducing not only high collars but neck
trimmings, frills and ribbons, that add
TO the complexity Of q frock without
actually forming high collar. Some
times there is an inch-wide ribbon 10
tie about the neck. with bow At one
side Of the neck. and some of the rib
bon is used TO tie around each wrist.
More and more lingerie and lace
collars are finished with n bit of rib
bon by way Of Il tie. and interesting
effects are obtained If ribbons of
originality and distinctiveness are
used for this purpose.

Rocky Mountain Quakes.

A period of instability in the earth
crust is occurring in the northern
Rocky Mountain region and on the
Pacific coast, marked by a series Of
quakes that have caused some dam
age, but fortunately thus far, no
loss Of life. The temblors have
been comparatively slight, covering
portions Of five States. 1t is re-
markable that in SO wide an area so
little damage has been done. Esti-
mates Of the property losses in the
entire region of disturbance approx
mate about million dollars. which is
trif1ing considering the immense ex-
tent Of the space and in contrast to
the damage done by similar happen
ings in other parts Of the world. The
range of the quakes appears to be
spreading and later developments
may be much more serious.
The present shaking OF the crust is
evidently due to readjustments.
Quakes have occurred before in this
section along lines Of known "faults''
in the mountain strata, but no great
disasters have been recorded within

crossing. They probably took chance,

If only the drivers of cars were
would not be so bad. But almost in
variably others are killed with them,
often their own families. They, of
course, do not deliberately risk the
lives of their wives and children, but
some habit Of haste, some unreasoning
urge sends them onto the tracks when
they know there Is danger.
Next November the people of the
State Of New York will vote on a
bond issue Of $500 200, 900 for the aboli.
tion Of grade crossings in that State.
OF this sum the State will spend di-
rectly s75,000,000 while the remainder
of the sum will be loaned to the rail-
roads and local governments to en-
elimination. If the amendment is
adopted means will be provided for
ridding the State OF 1000 dangerous
crossings within quarter OF a CEN
tury If it is defeated. as some are
now urging for political reasons, moth
ing will be done systematically to
abolish lnese deadly nuisances. which
during IL months OF 1924 cost 140
deaths and 42s minor casualties in
New York State alone.
Elimination of grade crossings Is not
merely a railroad matter. 1t is for the
States and the local governments to
initiate. With the rapid development
of motor traffic conditions have
changed during the past 25 years. The
responsibility, which formerly rested
upon the railroads, has now been shift.
ed to the communities and Common
wealths The railroads are unable
without assistance to eliminate these
crossings. For them to do so without
aid would bankrupt them. Public Sc
curity demands the cure OF this dead
ly evil. 1t Is for the States to start
the work.
