a STORY OF
A GIRL eToDAY
JUDY's NEW FRIEND


Although 1 had hung back, Jerry
had almost pushed me toward his
car.
Judy" he said, do you know you
have made an enemy for some rea'
son of that man at The Circle
You're altogether to independent.
Don't you know, dear. that the
worst place in the world for a girl
like you who has no one to protect
her. no one to stand back of her. is
"a big, cruel city like this one?"
Where are you going. Jerry?" ]
interrupted.
wherever you want to CO." he
answered quickly.
I'm so tired 1 could die" I found
myself saying under my breath.
Judy. let me take you out into
the country. 1 don't know what
trouble you have been in, but 1 have
a shrewd notion that it concerns
Miss Meredith. Whatever it is, your
face is pale and drawn, and your
eyes are set in great deep circles.
Let me take you out somewhere
where you can forget, Judy"
but. Jerry. you have your work
to do. You cannot be at my beck
and call all the time. l know you
have been tagging me around all
day"
You know very well, young
lady" he said. that I've been at
your call ever since the first time
l saw you. However. I can't say
that you have done much beckon-
ing. Surely you must know that
there is no work in all the world
that would keep me from you. if you
really wanted me.
g I know a little farmhouse. my
dear. that has path up to it lead
ing through a shady lane. lined on
each side with syringa blossoms.
There is a wide porch there and the
comfortable woman will bring us a
little table and set il out where we
get a heady fragrance of the white
blossoms from each side of the path.
over that table she will lay a
cloth Of cool white linen and there
will be pickles and jams and honey
and other country goodies placed
upon it. \ great pitcher of cold
buttermilk and fresh white home
made bread will follow. and last. but
not least, she will bring us a half
broiled chicken in a bed of water
cress."
I suddenly remembered that I
hadn't eaten anything since the
night before. almost twenty-four
hours before, and impulsively said,
you draw a beautiful picture, Jer.
ry. I'll go with you il you will take
Joan Meredith with US"
Jerry's face clouded.
II don't know her. Judy. I've
seen her many times and always
avoided her. You know I don't care
for society girls"
But you'll like Joan immediate
ly." I answered II did. Jerry, I've
only known her about forty-eight
hours. and it seems to me that I
have known and loved her better
than any one else in all my life"
Better thar Manner" he asked.
Not better. but in a different
way" I answered

THIS AND THAT

Woe and want thou canst outsleep;
Want and woe, which torture us,
Thy sleep makes ridiculous.

Because Emerson was a wise man
first and a. poet afterward. his
natural history is little better than
that to be found in many poems.
Friends Of bumblebees will recog-
nize that the sage of Concord had
his facts about these species of the
genus Bombus (evidently from the
same root as the word ''bombastic")
essentially correct
The bumblebee Is true bee. lts
name being derived from the old
English bumblen, to make a hum
ming noise. There are said to be
so species in North America. Even
children recognize it by its large
thick hairy body and bass hum.
"Humblebee" Is it's poetic title. evil
IDENTIFY, for we have never heard a
human being outside a book call
1t 80. therefore we stick TO bumDle-
bee. which has the fullest sanction
of Webster's.
There Is q legend that each colony
of bumblebees has "a trumpeter bee,
whose duty it is to rouse the nest
at 8 or am. to the supreme work
of gathering pollen. This latter duty
falls to the workers, or small
females. The two remaining classes
are the females (queens) and the
males, or drones. One scientist
counted the kinds of bees In a colony
of 100 individuals and found the
proportion as follows: Is females,
SO drones and SO workers.
Cold weather kills all except a
few of the true females. The queen
bee, therefore is the only sort to
outsleep woe and want, as Emerson
puts it. She sIumbers deep be-
meath leaves or moss until Spring.
when she arises and collects pollen
and honey. This is why one sees
only a few bumblebees at first. In
this mass of food she deposits
few eggs. She is, indeed, the mother
OF her race. OF the first brood she
permits only the workers to sur
vive. These go through larva and
pupa stages. The mother bee then
laws some more eggs and this time
the males or drones are permitted
TO live.
During the month OF July eggs are
laid I'm the queen cells. The young
queens are fortified by the drones
in Autumn, the cold blasts then kill
ing both workers and males. Thus
nature carries on her mysterious
economies, the queen being left in
possession of the nest, ready to sleep
through the Winter. until the cycle
resumes in Spring.
This is the month Of the humble
bee. All day long in the sun he
buzzes across the garden, darling with
impunity past mere humans, defying
them with his ferocious drone as of a
motor. He will lazily watt himself
into a gladiolus bloom while you are
bent to see 1t and boldly walk far
back until he is lost to sight. AS
big as he is, the bumblebee is not
heavy, for he does not cause the most
fragile flower TO bend beneath his
weight. When his colony is large
he becomes somewhat of a nuisance
in the garden. but we would not will

brothers and sisters

THINK 1T OVER
Working Their Way
By William MGtIier LetOis.
President George Washington University

Statistics recently have been collect
ed in 122 colleges and universities
throughout the United States on the
subject of self-help. The returns show
that $4,000 students. or SO per cent of
the entire student body, are earning
the money either for part or the
whole of their educational expenses.
Fifty-five per cent of the man students
and - per cent of the woman stu
dents are working. 1t is probable
that the percentage of self-help stu
dents in these 122 institutions is about
the same as in the colleges and uni
versities where statistics are not avail
able. If this is true, nearly 2300O0
young people are paying some part of
their educational expenses in insti
tutions of higher learning.
And they are working in many diff.
ferent fields. Time was when self
supporting students earned their
money principally at such tasks as
waiting on table, tending furnaces
and cutting grass. Today we tind
them in almost every field of produc,
tive activity.
In Seattle large coal concern
has utilized University of Washington
students as statesmen in a. selling cam
paign and has found them fine bust
ness getters. Fifty-five students sold
over $45 900 worth OF coal in a single
month. This activity had its educa-
tional aspect, as the young men were
taken to the mines and were given
expert information concerning the
mining and merchandising of coal.
President Angel of Yale states that
one-third of the men in the student
body there are working their way,
and that during the year they earn
SAILS, 900. He. adds that these men
''do better in the classroom than
others not so notivated.'
At Yale and at many other insti-
buttons are bureaus of appointments
where students are brought In touch
with suitable employment opportlui
ties.
In many urban universities large
numbers of students are regularly
employed throughout the day and
take their academic work in the late
afternoon or during the evening.
Facts such as these speak we'll for
the ambition of American youth.
They also go far 10 refute the idea
that our college students are an ir-
happy o-lueky lot. e-,s-
