No Dinner Bell Needed
to Summon Hungry Bees

Bees don't carry wrist watches and
they don't have any alarm clocks in
their hives, but they are always on
time for meals Just the same. Not
only that, but they quickly learn Of
changes in feeding time and adjust
their schedules accordingly.
The time sense Of bees has been In.
vestigated by I. Beling Of Berlin
Dahlem, Germany, who has reported
his results to the scientific journal
Die Naturwissenschaften. He set out
saucers Of sugar water at given hour
Of the day. In a couple Of days the
bees knew when to expect the "hand-
out" and turned up on time. or even
a little before time. They kept 1t up
even when he stopped offering free
food.
Then he changed the hour and also
Increased the number of feelings to
two, and in some experiments to three.
The bees quickly learned the new
schedule and turned up expectantiy at
the right time-Kansas City Stars

M1 HERE are many records OF
W. canned foods which have been
kept for decades and found to
be in perfect condition when
opened, and, although in the fol-
lowing account by Prudence
Penny of the New York American,
of how the life of an aged German
invalid was saved by means Of
canned foods that were kept for
less than a decade, it furnishes a
vivid illustration of what modern
scientific methods of canning
mean to our civilization. This
story, which appeared in a recent
issue of this newspaper, reads as
follows:
81 was in Germany-Leipzig to
be exact-in 1923. during those
wild days when the value of the
mark sunk to depths unheard Of;
poverty and all its attendant ills
were the order of the day, and it
was difficult for the vast majority
of the Germans to buy enough
food to sustain the spark of life
in them.

Pottery Of Roman Era
Discovered in London

Pottery made by the Romans in the
Second century has been recently un.
earthed during some excavations made
In London's business district, in the
heart Of the old city. A layer Of ashes
was found by the workmen, who, dig
ging deeper, discovered the earthen.
ware articles which had evidently
fallen there during fire.
The pottery, which bears the marks
Of burning, has in many cases the
names of the makers stamped on the
various specimens. One has the name
"Putrius," whose kilns are known to
have been in Gaul during the reigns
of the Emperors Trajan and Hadrian.
Other potters identified by experts are
Albucius, Dagomarus, Avitus, Biragel-
lus, Reginus and Ioenalis. ALI Of them
were living and working in the Sec
ond century Of the Christian era.
Many potsherds, some Of the First
century, have been found in the north
Of England. Most of the pottery has
been acquired for exhibition In the
Guildhall museum of the city Of Lon
don.-New York Times Magazine.

Popular Cotillon

The cotillon Is dance Of French
origin, and is performed to quadrille
music 1t was fashionable dance at
the court of Charles x, where 1t had
been adapted from peasant dance.
At first for one, then for two perform
ers, it soon became a ronde dance, in
which form 1t was introduced into
England. There are hundreds Of pos
sible figures in the modern dance,
and the accessories are most elabor-
ate. The cotillon is begun by a small
number of couples, who occupy the
floor while the rest of the guests sit
about the ballroom. These couples
select others from among those
seated, and, after going through a
figure, all take seats and are replaced
by other couples until the whole COM
pany has danced that particular fig
ure. Another method is for each set
of couples to dance a different figure.

The second largest city in the re-
public Of Esthonia, Tartu, holds rank
with the capital, Tallinn (RevaD, as
an intellectual center Of Esthonian
nationality. It was begun in 1890 by
the Russian Grand Duke Yaroslow,
son Of Vladimir the Holy, who con-
quered the Esthes, and its celebrated
university was founded in 1882 by
Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. It has
a library Of more than 100000 vol

can always realize our realities. and
our ideas must be practical If we are

Gable extensions are important.fea-
lures in the construction program of
the Long Distance Department Of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company this year. Additions and i'm
proyements now under way or contem-
plated will involve expenditures of
about $106,000,000 for new long dis
lance facilities. These expenditures are
about $16,000,000 or Is per cent more
than the amount spent for similar i'm
provements last year, which was the
record year to date, officials Of the
telephone company say.
Included in the construction pro-
gram is the placing Of about 5000
miles Of cable, the greater part Of
which will be owned jointly by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company and the various associated
companies Of the Bell System. In
. cluded in this project will be about
500 miles Of steel tape-armored cable.
This type Of cable has come into
prominence in the telephone industry
in the last year or two, about 200
miles having been manufactured by
the Western Electric Company in
1929. A tape-armored cable is, now
being placed between Norfolk, Ports
mouth and Suffolk, Va.
More than 100000 loading coils
and nearly $4,000 telephone repeaters
for improving transmission will be re-
quired in connection with new and
existing cables. Other major projects
contemplated include the stringing Of
approximately 10000 miles Of new
aerial wire and the installation of
more than 100 carrier current tele-
phone systems and 20 carrier current
telegraph systems.
The toll cable program includes
work to be carried out during the year

Venerable Flemish City

The city of Client in Flanders has
existed from the very earliest time,
and no exact date can be given for its
settlement, nor is the derivation of the
name accurately known. The site was
occupied by prehistoric tribes and la
ter by the Celts and Belgii and Nervii.
1t is mentioned as early as the Sew

thor, Client was originally Gand.
which derives from Celtic word
meaning "cmfluent," in reference to
the location of the city at the confiu-
ence of the rivers Scheldt and Lys.

story moves to a town near Buda- pest. There she finds job as a waitress and starts life anew until she falls in love with one of the customers, a young lawyer played by Ian Keith and eventually ste als money to buy an expensive gown with which she hopes to attract his attention. This leads to Vari- ous complications and has as unus- ual an ending as has been on the screen in many moon.
 All the principal roles in the pro- duction are ably presented Miss Griffith's characterization as Riga i5 one of the finest things she has ever done. Her well modulated voice records especially well and adds much to the charm and beauty that ha smade her one of the best loved stars on the screen.
