LONDON, February 24--The tiniesi

Sir William Bragg, lecturing recently

The rainbow eolored soap films are

LIGHT HONEY CROP SEEN.
Loss of Bees Through Severity of
Winter Felt in Virginia.

LYNCHBURG, Va, March IL
Many indications are that the honey
crop in this section of Virginia, which
usually is large, will be limited this
year because so many bees were
killed by hunger and cold during the
past winter.
This will be the direct result of the
failure of the honey crop late last
year, which resulted in many colonies
starving.
IT is only in cases where the bees
swere fed in an artificial manner late
during the fall that they were able

NEW YORK, July 14.-Effective
tomorrow, the eight-hour day will
be in operation in the oil fields OF
the Standard Oil Company.
This announcement is regarded
in labor circles as one Of the most
significant since the steel industry
went on the eighr-hour basis.
/ It was hailed by labor officials
today as a great boon for the
workers, as the twelve-hour day mas
been in effect throughout the in
dustry since 1859, when the. first
oil well in the United States was
drilled.
Not all of the Standard Oil Com
pany workers will Immediately go
on an eight.hour basis, It was ex-
planned. In outlying districts, where
camps have been built, the twelve
hour day will remain in effect. In
such cases, it was explained. the
men preferred to work the longer
dav rather than be idle for four
extra hours. -
Like in the steel industry. the
eight hour day in the oil fields VIII
mean three shifts a day instead ol
two. In order to meet this situa-
ton it will be necessary to give en-
ployment to more men.

Army Wins Divorce
From Miss Liberty

The war department has been grant
ed divorce from the Statue of
Liberty. The war department won
the decree from congress on the plea
that "she" costs more to keep than the
department could afford, under its
ECONOMY budget"
President Coolidge signed the proc
lamation taking Miss Liberty off the
war department hands last Decem-
Der, it was announced at the army
intelligence office. The announcement
came on the heels of information from
the quartermasters' office at Cover
nor's Island that Miss Liberty was
now being decked out for the last
time at the expense of the army.
The Statue of Liberty and old
Fort Wood, the plot where she stands
on Bedloe's Island, will be maintain
ed as national park under super
vision of the department of interior
beginning July l.
Officials of the army said action
was taken to get rid of Miss Liberty
because maintenance of her through
the 80 years she has stood there had
cost the war department more than
half a million dollars.

To Redwood Falls Folks.

There's nothing more convincing
than the statement of someone you
know and have confidence in. That's
why this talk with Mr.. Beach of
Chestnut street, should be mighty
helpful here in Redwood Falls.
E. L. Beach, says: "My kidneys
didn't act as they should; the seere-
tions were unnatural in color and
contained a brick-dust sediment. My
back ached and it interfered with my
work. My eyes got puffy underneath,
too. / went to Luscher's Drug Store
and bought Doan's Pills. Two boxes
fixed me up in good shape" Estate
ment given October II, 1879.

It was suggested to Mr.. Unerka
that he feed his new pet billiard balls,
broken cues and other things he has
no use for. But he said that about
six pounds of alfalfa for each bird
daily will be their rations while they
are young, and they will get more to
eat as they grow older. Ostrich eggs

more by women than by men, Mrs.
Rinehart declares.

R1nehart declares.
And because of woman's newly ac-
quired economic place as an Garner,
she is deferring marriage without rea-
lizing the cost resulting from the
wild oats" sown- by the other sex
due to retarded marriage.
When two persons decide to live to-
gether the remainder of their lives
it means radical reimbursement for
both. They must learn to adapt them
selves to this changed condition, to
compromise, to give and take, as the
price of happy welded life.
This is much more easily accom-
plished in youth than any time in
later life, for we become more opin-
donated, more strongly individualistic,
in short more "sot" in our ways
with advancing age.

Novelist Sees Gain
In Early Marriage

The complex life of modern times
is gradually pushing back the aver
age of marriage.
The attitude of both men and wo-
men toward marriage has changed
quite radically in late years. Women
no longer need to marry as the only
alternative to dependent cid age They
can support themselves.
Parents want to see their child
rem start off on the same plane of
life reached by the parents, them
selves, only after half a lifetime of
struggle and self denial.
So marriage waits and this delay
is proving more costly than we realize
These beliefs are held by Mrs. Mary
Roberts Rinehart, noted woman au-
thor. Mrs. Rinehart talks plainly to
normal women who defer marriage
because they feel independent for the
time being, at least, or have their
hearts set upon making careers"
for themselves, holding the mistaken
| notion that a career is out of the
question after marriage.
When the natural instinct of wo-
man is in conflict with acquired taste,
nature is almost sure to win in the
end, Mrs. Rinehart asserts.
But by the time nature has won
its victory, golden opportunities have
slipped by in SO many instances. No
matter if it is career or other OBJ
jective, the cost is paid sooner or
later whether or not success is
achieved.
Since the greatest pleasure in win
ming success is to share it with others,
Mrs. Rinehart believes most unmar-
ried women pay too high price for
their success. She cannot conceive Of
any personal success being great
enough to remunerate a woman for
being alone in later life.
Time of marriage is determined
