 To cap the climax, you became naturalized last December after due "publication" as provided by law; which consisted of placing your name in tre Clerks office under several sheets of other names which fact was perhaps a mere accident and not the result of planning.
 The law which was invoked on your behalf applies to those who had up to 1909 "erroneously" believed that they were citizens on account of transformation and had thus exercised the rights of a these facts that you certainly must citizen. This law however makes a specific exception as to those who could claim it's protection and excludes those who had made the declaration of intention required by law. This you had done. :,
 For the benefit of the curious, herewith quote the law; .,.....
 'Any person not an alien enemy, who resided uninterruptedly within the United States for the period of five years next preceding July 1st, 1914, and was on that date otherwise qualified to become citizen of the United States, FIX CEPT he had not made the de- claration of intention required by law and who during Or prior to that time, because of misinform- . ation regarding his citizenship stat us enormously exercised the right and performed the duties of citizen of the United States in good faith, may file the petition for naturalization prescribed by law without making the preliminary declaration of intention required of other aliens, and upon satisfact- ory proof to the court that he has so acted may be admitted as a citizen of the United States upon complying in all respects with the other requirements of the natural ization laws"

point. Occasionally an incoming bee
laden with honey will meet an out
going bee who is hungry, Whereupon
the former pumps honey out of it's
stomach carrier to feed the hungry
comrade.
Within two minutes after the tunnel
was opened to the outdoors the "un-
dertaker" squad got busy and carried
out the dead bees. They not only got
them clear of the hive and the tun-
mel, but carried them a good distance
away before leaving them. Still others
began the work of aerating the hive,
and a constantly changing detachment
of 10 or II workers keep up this task.
They perform this by standing at the
mouth of the hive and tanning their
wings with incredible rapidity, thus
creating a current of air powerful
enough to blow away particles of wax
and other debris.
Within the hive itself thousa nds can
be seen feeding the young, depOsiting
honey. making wax or themselves eat
ing. In short, the exhibit presents an
example of one of the most perfect
communal organizations known to
nature.

the exhibits, hopes to keep it per-
manently at the institution. The main
difficulty with keeping bees under
semi-artificial conditions has always
been problem of heat. 1t is prob
able that in the Winter rations of
sugared water will have to be given
the bees to prevent starvation.

"The medical profession has turned
it's attention from the study of tuber-

This is a world problem, and those

1T is important that the public be
instructed on the earliest signs and

disease responds much more rapidly
to treatment then, and a cure is much
more possible in the earlier stages
than the public is aware.

WATER POLLUTION
THREATENS TOWN
CIoudburst at Cumberland
Washes Tons of Mud and
Debris Into Reservoir.

CUMBERLAND, Md, September
28.-Cumberland s water supply Is
threatened with pollution as result
of the cloudburst which struck this
section Of western Maryland last
Thursday. Thousands of dollars dam
age was caused by the neaVy rams;
and bridges, timber, sheds, uprOoted
trees. sawdust and tons of dirt ana
gravel were washed into the water
shed.
Arthur G. Fowler, superintendent
of Lake Gordon Reservoir, In a report
to the city council, declared that the
turpidity of the water is greater than
experienced in q long time. He SAID
the water, saturated with mud, has
put a severe tax on the filters, which
are being washed day and night.
Thirty-five tons of dirt are being re-
moved from the water daily in an
effort TO clarity it. On Monday, so
tons of mud were removed in the "a
hours.
Because of the cloudy condition of
the water, Cumberlanders are wary
of drinking it before it is boiled.
Fowler, however stated that an in
crease in the use of chemicals pwill
soon clarity the water and he has
asked the city council for funds neceS-
sarv to clear out the watershed of the
storm debris and for the chemicals
necessary.
On account of the farmer plowing,
there was also much loose ground for
the rains to wash into the lake.
The shores of the lake will have to
be combed of the debris. The coagu-
liant and clear water basins will have
to be given a thorough cleaning, and
it will be some time before they can
get back to normal conditions at the
lake.

They were presented Saturday as
first tangible evidence of the fortune

after skeptics seized on the statements
from Detroit during the day that
there was no record there of the $780,
