Lip Is Beehive

BIZ NEA Service
ASBURY, N. j., Oct. 13.-
There's a bee on you," ex-
claims many a traveller in the
railway station here to Police
man George Bannon, on duty
there. And Bannon always
stays each obliging stranger
who attempts to brush it off.
That's Indy" explains the
officer. 'Let him alone" If the
traveller waits, he will see the
insect buzz and finally make a
landing on Bannon's upper lip.
Then he holds a piece of gum
or candy between his teeth and
"Lindy" feats heartily.
The bee comes every day at
about the same time, always
seeks out its friend, is fed until
it can scarcely fly and scars
heavily away.
