full, cheap and universally used
although it appeared in Europe
two or three centuries earlier as
a rare and costly drug prescribed
as medicine.
Nevertheless, honey, though now
ousted from its position as an es-
sential food, is still an esteemed
delicacy, and commands a high
price and ready market.
Honey produced by Indiana bees
last year brought the farmers of
the State approximately $4,000. 900.
So a shortage in this years crop
will take real money out of Hoo
sier pockets.
Despite the use of sugar the bee
is still an important member Of
society. One irascible bee impris-
oned between the farmers shirt
and his person raises only blazing
bumps and smoking blasphemy
But a few hives Of bees in the
farmers orchard labor manfully
to raise the mortgage.

Aping the English

m HE Prince of Wales had no sooner put his
foot on American soil than our demo
cratic citizens were aping his turned-down hat
brim, his shuffling walk and the drape Of his
baggy pants.
Our naval officers have aped the British
uniform and, having aped his Sam Brown belt
and Stacks, our army officers are preparing to
ape the cut Of the British tunic.
And henceforth our army airnen, with
their turned-down coat collars, patch pockets,
belts sewed snug around the waist, embroid-
cred Insignia and overseas caps, could we'll be
mistaken for their fellows of the r. A. T.
All of which is perfectly all right. They re
a natty-looking bunch, the British. But why
can't we ape them in some of the more im-
portant things craftsmanship, diplomacy and
preparedness, for example?
Not their imperialism, for we don't want
that; but their continuity of policy and pur-
pose, their thoroughness and their forethought
They think a century ahead not merely Of the
political expediency of the moment.
Parliament has just appropriated $283000,-
900 for new cruisers. Britain sees a new arma-
ments race beginning and has no intention of
being left behind. She has served notice on
the world and sundry that neither at sea nor in
the air does she intend to be at disadvantage.
This Britain has done in the very face of
President Coolidge's second arms limitation
conference which he hopes to call soon.
If the conference is called Britain will
come prepared to trade all or part of her 1888
100000 worth of brand new warshipS (still on
paper, though they are) for some advantage
Ii there is no conference, her NATIONAL defense
remains intact
That is craftsmanship. Ready, whichever
way the cat jumps.
Our position is altogether different. On
the eve of inviting the other powers to Wash
ington, we naively notify everybody that no
matter what others may do we at least, will
not increase our armament. Which leaves us
with nothing to trade on, nothing to give UP in
exchange for what we propose to ask the others
to cede
Brltaln's strategic position is perfect She

his opponents see four of his cards. all climbs.

flush or mere bob-tail But that is Britain $
secret
Our cards are face up on the table. We
haven't even pair Of deuces to draw to and
everybody knows it. We cant even bluff-and
that's 80 per cent of successful diplomacy.
1t does seem pity that about the only
thlng British we can successfully copy is the
cut Of their pants

by those who know their radio, is
mighty popular on the air. To me
she is a remarkably fine speciality
artist who knows how to put over
a tropical song. I know she is an
accepted hit on the radio and she
is equally as successful on the stage.
Miss Salamon is presented this
week at the Lyric with the Twelve
Radio Stars, composed of men and
women who have become famous
over the air.
Here is a wonderfully fine collec'
ton Of talent. These people are not
false alarms. l am sure that q
radio star fits in much better on
the speaking stage than many movie
actors who attempt to brave public
appearances.
The man who mounted this radio
act is a mighty fine Snowman. He
sells this act every second 1t is on
the stage. Individual talent COM
bined with splendid directorial abil-
ity makes this act one Of the real
variety sensations Of the day.

Among the others. present and
every member of this organization

Sullivan, Irish tenor; Esther JOY,
known as Michigan's sweetheart;
Miller and Rainey, comics; Tranger
and Georgette, novelty team; JON
O'Hara, Florence Frey, soprano So
loist; Paul Earl, announcer, and
Nobel Watson, operator.
The use of a loud speaker, rugged
up in the auditorium proper, gives
this act an added novelty touch,
And they know how to handle lights.
1t certainly is good to see vaudeville
using lights properly.
I know that l haven't gone wild,
but 1 am so enthusiastic over the
talent Of these radio stars that
shout from the housetops: Don't
dare to miss this vaudeville treat"
And the remainder of the bill also
discloses some real talent. Bernet
and Clark have an eccentric comedy
offering which is full of surprises.

Did Darwin teach that man was

No. The belief offered IN 1914 by
Darwin and several other British
scientists was that study Of various
biological, fossil, and other data, col
lected by them, indicated that rep
tiles were developed from fish, and
birds from reptiles that all nature
develops In an orderly way, every
thing moving from a simple 10 n
complex state. That rs. instead OF
each OF thousands OK kinds OF ami
mails, insects, birds. fish and reptiles
being made separately, they came
into being through gradual changes.
Scientists of this school held alOo
that man took part in this general
scheme. Darwin said that scientific
facts indicate that mans nearest kin
was the Old World monkey. But
he added. I'VE must not fan into the
error Of supposlng that tho earthly
progenitor of this whole eimian
stock, including man, closely re.
sembles existing apes or monkeys.
