There Are Limits EUen
to Executive Ability

Crichton, until his health deserted
him, was a salesmanager Then he
went to the country and became an
apiarist You know, he kept bees or
rather, the bees kept him. His "Blcs-
gomdale' honey was sold at many Of
the better places But some people
bought the adjoining farm and start
ed another apiary. Crichton's bees no
longer enjoyed a monopoly Of the
flowers and blossoms. Business be
gan to fall Off.
SO Crichton did the usual thing
He held a formidable conference. He
told the bees they must hustle up
more business; they must get on their
toes. The bees seemed grieyed, but
they buzzed off, filled with serious
purpose and augmented resolve.
Stiu Crichton was not satisfied He
organized an interhive contest and
spurred them on. He posted graphs
and tabulated returns. He told them
Of business cycles. The bees, OF
course, found all this confusing, but
they tried to make good Their wings
became frayed; they no longer
1ummed at their work.
One day Crichton posted this cir
GUAR letter; ut has come to my no

Colorado junction Point Has Atmos-
phere Of Oriental City.
There are certain widely scattered
places on the surface of this widely
Travelled earth that are interesting not
for what they are but for the things
they lead to. They are way stations
on the roads to far things; they are
the night halts of travellers journeying
to remote goals. Such places have an
atmosphere all their own an atmos-
phere of restlessness and the COM
radeship of the wayside halt. Such a
place is Suez, where travellers for the
orient shop; such place is Liverpool
for Europe, and Cherbourg for Latin
Europe; and such place, in very
modest little way, for a modest little
section of the United States, is La
Junta, Colo.
La Junta in Spanish means the
junction. It is railroad junction
today, and before the railroad came it
was the point where the northern
stage road to Denver met the main
line of the Santa Fe train running east
and west. Now 1t is the point where
the railroad branches northward to
Denver, westward to San Francisco
and Los Angeles, eastward to Kansas
City and Chicago, and all the cities Of
the east. If you will sit in one of the
cane bottomed chairs on the platform
at La Junta, you will see a respectabfc
portion of the American travel pass
before your eyes. If you are looking
for someone who travels in the south
west, you have only to sit in La Junta
long enough and he will come to you.
The little station has that indefina
BILE atmosphere of the caravansetai
that attaches to places utterly differ
ent from its commonplace western as
pect. 1t has in common with Suez and
Cherbourg the free mason spirit of

ton, tell sections of their life histor-

tic embarrassments without shame.

"A bald-headed man went into a
barber shop and asked the barber If
he had any good preparations for

was baId-headed himself, is an ex-

RISKS LIFE FOB LINE
u. s. Engineer Works in swamps and
on Peaks.

From the mosquito infested
swamps Of our 1owlands to the highest
peaks of our mountains and from the
ice-locked northland of Alaska to the
blistering sands OF the tropics, the en-
gineer in the service of the United
States coast and geodetic survey is
facing privation and hardship for the
sake Of precision. He is laying a net
work of imaginary lines upon the
maps Of the states that we may know
just how high a given place within the
national boundaries Is and just what
latitude and longitude 1t lies.
Thus. the surveyor is establishing a
line along a coast where 1t is neces-
sary for him to stand in water up to
his waist. He is obliged to work from
this particular spot because it enables
him to see his observation point far
away on the horizon Otherwise he
could not make his measurements and
establish his line
However, he is taking fewer
chances while he is working in the
water than when he is establishing a
line in a heavily wooded country.
Where the land is flat and the trees of
excessive height he sometimes has to
work on giddy platforms more than q

Many persons cannot attend motion

For persons with very sensitive eyes,

depends upon studying the bee and

SPELMAN IS NAMED
 SPECIAL OFFICIAL
Becomes Naturalization Direc-
 tor for Connecticut

Hartford, Oct. 1 LY - Thomas NJ. Spelman of New Haven. former ly of Boston, has been appointed director of naturalization for the district Of Connecticut by United States District Judge Edwin S. Thomas. The appointment was made yesterday and is effective as of today.
 The appointment was made in accordance with the new naturali- zation laws which provide for the examination of applicants for citizenship by the director, whose recommendation 10 the court will be made in blanket form rather than in individual cases and fol- lowing hearings in open court as was the old practice. It will be necessary for the presiding judge 10 sign but one document admit ting a large number to citizenship on recommendation of the director instead of hearing and passing on a great number of separate cases. The new arrangement will tend to speed up the court work and will place the responsibility for admis- sion to citizenship on the naturali- zation director.
 There has been no assignment for naturalization work for this month, and there probably will be none until late In November.

WATERBURY POSTAL
 CLERK IS ACCUSED
]. ]. D0nohue Held for En-
 beZZlelleDt From Mails

Hartford, Oct. i (EO - John J. Donohue, 33, clerk at the Water bury post office, was bound over to the December term of the United States district court by L. s. Com missioner Frederic J. Corbett on a charge of embezzlement of s1,S62.- 09. He pleaded not guilty when ar rainged before the commissioner and waived examination. Bonds were fixed at s1,000. He was repre- sented by Attorney Albert J. Bron- sky of Waterbury. The case was presented by Assistant United States Attorney George H. Cohen.
 Donohue has been in the em- ploy of the Waterbury post office as clerk for ten years, having been appointed a substitute on August 1. 1916, and a regular on August F of the following year. His salary was s2,100 a year. He was in charge of the c. o. D. de- partment, and It is claimed he has admitted peculiations of s1,735.S5 of c. O. D. moneys and s126.24 of funds represented by collections and customs duties. There were six items listed in the customs de- falcations and 95 separate thefts of c. o. D. matter.
 While Donohue Is specifically charged with embczzlement of funds on September 5 and various dates prior thereto" it is said his peculations cover a period of about one year. His method was to hold back sufficient funds on one day to cover a previous days shortage, and this continued until 1t had reached such proportions that he was unable to longer cover up. A complaint had been made to postal inspectors and suspicion centered on Donohue, and when questioned on Thursday he readily admitted his guilt. The shortage has been made good by relatives.
 Donohue Is a man of excellent appearance and was well thought of in Waterbury. He Is married and has one child.

Accomplished Epoch-Mak- ing Flight in About 32O Hours of Actual Flying Is Accorded Great Welcome on Arrival at Home Field
London, Oct 1 R-Homs from

London. Oct. 1 P-Homs from . 28,000-mile aerial jaunt 10 Austra- lia and back, Englands long dis tance flying ace, Alan Gotham, was received by London today with open arms.
 He brought his seaplane down on the Thames in front of the parlia- ment building at 2:26 p. m., amid the roars of vast crowds lining both sides of the river, and went ashore to receive an official welcome which included a personal message from the king.
 Typical of the regularity of his progress throughout the journey he completed the last lap, from Sart- rouville, near Paris, only a few minutes behind schedule.
 To the layman. at least, he had accomplished his object, which was to prove the possibility of the regu- lar air service 10 the Antipodes which the government proposes to sponsor.
 Soon after setting foot on land, he was presented by the air minis ter, Sir Samuel Hoere, with the kings message offering a cordial welcome home and adding:
 T congratulate you heartily upon the successful termination of yet ar1- other historic flight
 As Gotham stepped from the tug he shouted:
 Hello everybody; It's fine to be home"
 Before he could finish the sen tence, his wife fell into his arms, and the crowd redoubled its cheers as the bronzed airman smothered her and their fourteen n-months-old boy with kisses, oblivious of the efforts of the Duke of Sutherland and the mayor of Westminster to be the first to shake his hand.
 Epoch Making Trip
 No airplane voyage since the late Captain Sir John Alcock and Lieu tenant Brown of the British army flew from Newfoundland across the Atlantic to Clifton, Ireland, in 1919, has aroused public interest equal to that of Cobham's.
 The last lap of his flight started from Sartrouville, near Paris, at 11:15 a. m. after crossing the chan nel and passing over Rochester whence he started on June 30, the fier took a course over the Thames at Gravesend and went up the river to Hammersmith before turning back to land at Westminster.
 Expecting a huge throng in the neighborhood of Westminster the police for safetys sake closed two of the nearest bridges to spectators Tha morning newspapers printed full details of the arrangements and ad- yised the people to take their places early as Gotham might fly In ad- vance of his program.
 Gotham in a long dispatch sent from France to the Daily Mall, es- timated the distance covered by him during his three months aerial journey at 28,OOO miles, or more than the earth's equatorial girth. His actual flying time was only about 320 hours.
 The Daily Mail calculates that Gotham in his aerial flights in varf- ous parts of the world has now GOV cred a half million miles recalling
