the coors of the visible spectrum had been
tried out. The experiments showed that the
honeybees would always find the concealed food
supply and readily mastered the art of identi-
flying its location by the different colored lights
used as guidepoStS
Federal research in the selective breeding of
bees has proved that better varieties can be de-
veloped which will fly farther and labor longer
than the ordinary bees of today. The present
commercial practice is to locate bee colonies
no farther than miles from abundant sources
of nectar. Potentially with the development
of better flying baes, this distance will probably
be doubled. Tests in the intermountain States
have demonstrated that honeybees will fly as
far 10 miles after nectar This was ascer-
tanned by removing bees at various distances
from the only available clover fields in that
mountain and desert country The maximum
Decline gap spanned by the insects in that ex-
perimentation was 10 miles

against the inroads of disease germs. On the
assumption that ultraviolet irradiation, which
has proved beneficial to sickly and delicate in
fantS, might make baby bees mature more rapid
ly and live longer, Dr. L. M. Bertholf of the
Federal bee culture laboratories has conducted
the first research of its kind in this country.
He discovered that the irradation of honey
frames containing young brood or larvae OF
the hive was injurious instead Of beneficial.
Direct exposure of the larvae under the mercury
quartz vapor lamp for such brief intervals as
seconds caused the death Of the young honey
bees.
This Government scientist tried similar treat
ment on worker bees that were from to 10
days old. These bees were confined in dmnu-
tive wire cages, rs the untamed insects Of the

the insects treated with artificial sunshine died
much sooner than the check groups which were
not irradiated. One cage of bees was increased
gradually in irradiation exposure up to q maxi
mum of 80 minutes daily. These honeybees
lived only 7ia days. Other bees which were
given sunshine baths under the mercury quartz
vapor lamp for 80 seconds on alternate days
lived to the age of 10 days. That is approx
mately as long as research bees ever live in
confinement away from the honeycomb
These Gagged bees had constant access to

of honey and powdered sugar. DR.. Bertholf
carried on various tests to determine If the bees

which they consumed. The results proved that
neither the exposure Of the food alone nor the
irradiation of both the bees and their food
exerted any appreciable effect on the honey
makers These comprehensive experiments in
dictate that If any benefits result whatever from
the artificial Sunsne treatment of bees they
obtain exclusively from very short exposures.

types of filters that facilitated the penetra-

the apiary annals.
That, in popular expression, is what your
Uncle Sam is seeking to do out at the national
bee culture laboratories the Maryland side
of the survey line which separates the District
from her nearest State neighbor.
Scientists, students, philosophers and ordi-
nary folks have sought to solve the battling
riddles of the honeycomb ever since man in
quest of honey was first stung by its defending
bees. But, like the conundrum of how to make
an artificial egg or to repair an egg shell, the
enigma of exactly now honey is manufactured
still challenges solution. For 20 centuries man
kind has failed to find the answer to that bee
hive puzzle. Science has made some progress
in ferreting true facts about the honeybeeS
from research and watchful observation of these
insects. But there still remains a bewildering
of riddles to unravel before modern in
vestigatorS will know as much about the honey
bees as do those insects themselves.
Worker bees, as you know, are the menials,
mechanics and manufacturers of the hive.
They indefatigable, apparently, in their
labors. During favorable Summer weather they
begin work at the first flush Of dawn and con-
tinue until the dusk of eventide terminates the
days duties. These nectar scouts, honeymakerS
and water carriers literally work themselves to
death. They begin their labors like charged
energy. Day by day, this energy is dissipated.
Finally, it is exhausted entirely. Another bee,
perhaps murmuring . death prayer by her
vibratory dance system of communication, COLI
1apses and dies.
The average life of the worker bee is six
weeks. If science can augment the energy of
existent honeybees or can develop better
rieties that will live longer and perform more
work, our universal honey crop will be increased
meaSurably. This means an increase in income
Of many millions to worldwide apiculturiSts. For
example, if the life of the worker bees could
be increased only seven days, the universe would
harvest one-quarter more honey than it
does. Recently national scientists have been
experimenting with artificial Sunlight-the ir-
radiations of the mercury quartz vapor lamp
as a possible means OF increasing honeybee
longevity and OF stimulating queen bees to lay
more eggs.
DREVIOUS experiments at Uncle Sans bee
farm have disclosed that bees have meas
urabe capacity for learning and can be trained.
Worker bees have been taught to distinguish
different colors. red lamp was used as the
official beacon of known food supply It took
the intelligent bees only short time to learn
to associate that color with their food source.
Despite that the food and its identifying light
were moved and hidden, the bees as tireless
Sleuths eventually would find it when hungry
Then the food was moved secretly from the
vicinity of the red light and placed near a

DRY DISPUTE
Anti Saloon League
Chief Hopeful Of
Discussions

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10
Spokesman for organizations spons-
oring and opposing the prohibition
laws have entered the current con-
troversy with statements in which
both draw encouragement from
the events Of 1929 and make op-
timistic predictions for 1880.
r. Scott Mcbride OF the anti
saloon league found a most hope
full sign" in the discussion Of the
last fortnight In that "lec-lative
officers, as well as enforcement ad-
ministration officials, including
President Hoover, are not sidestep-
ping their responsibility In con-
nection with enforcement Of the
law"
For the association against the
prohibition amendment, Henry II.
Curran, its president. said that
while dry spokesman ten years
ago predicted that prohibition would
reduce crime by fifty per cent the
actual result had been such that
the president OF the United Sta
ties only q few months ago conSid-
cred the crime situation so grave
he told assembled publishers OF the
Associated Press that the dominant
issue before the people was law en-
forcement and law observance
Neither Mcbride nor Curran
showed any disposition TO become
parties TO the controversy that has
arisen in official Washington.
Meanwhile. a lull developed in
the exchange OF bitter statements
which has characterized the dis
pute, and interest continued in the
letter on prohibition which SEN
ator Borah, republican. Idaho. sent
to President Hoover after renounc-
ing from top TO bottom" the per-
