child have such a buggy ride? At
last her hostess reaches home and en-
ters the door to her dwelling. Before
the mother went to market she had
constructed a nursery for her own child.
The bee removes the pollen from her
baskets and lowers her head to drop the
honey in the center of the pollen. The
little rider seizes her chance and slips
off. Right in the center Of the honey
she lands The bee so busy about her
affairs, does not see the intruder. She
turns about and lays her egg on the
honey, too Then she goes to the cell
door and seals it. She must construct
another nursery.
The beetle baby now breaks her fast.
MY. the egg is fresh and delicious
Feeling droWsy after the meal, she
takes a nap. When she awakens she
has a different form. The honey ap-
peals to her Another nap, and an
other form. This time the meal is
pollen. After this rest the young grub
has transformed into dark-blue beetle
with leaky joints. He desires the scenes
of his babyhood and uses his strong jaws
to remove the waxen door. He steps
out of the close quarters Of the bees
nursery and looks about.

meets a blue-clad damsel and she ac-
cepts him Soon his own children will
be taking their first buggy ride.
The blister beetles baby Is remark
able child. Her mother is to be found
on goldenrod and the foliage OF many
flowers. She eats pollen and sips nee
tar. The gToWn-up beetles have the
strange practice Of leaking oil from
their elbows. The doctors use the dried
and pulverized beetles In paste. This
paste is applied as a plaster to raise a
blister. The result is convincing.
The parents are dressed in deep blue.
They have broad heads which narrow
into neck. Six long, slender legs and
strong wings provide one with means
of getting over a wide area. The mother
lays her eggs in the grass, hundreds OF
them. When they hatch the liveliest
spider-legged creatures Scurry about as
if hunting for something they had lost.
These children must start life on an
egg diet. The only way to obtain this
food is to climb on bees back and go
home with her. Many Of the beetles
children die Of starvation. The chances
are rather slim for all of her children
to find the right bee.
The youngster climbs the stem Of the
flower and hides under a petal. He is
tiny creature with many segments,
six legs which are claw-tipped' and a
dark head fitted with strong jaws. At
last the little baby is rewarded. A great
buzztng sound is heard and what must
seem a giant to the wee watcher set
ties on the flower. With surprising
speed the grublet jumps on the back of
the bee and clings on with his claw
fitted feet.

LITTLE BENNY
BY LEE PAPE.

Pop was smoking to himself in his
private chair and ma said, Just to think,
another year has almost rolled around
again, In other werds 1882. Are you 60
ing to make New Years resolution,
Willyum? she said.
sippose you mean am I going TO
sware off smoking? pop said.
Well yes, I must admit I did have
some such undercurrent in my mind,
ma said. But of corSe making a reso-
luton is nathing. Keeping it is the
difficult part, 9 tenthS out OF every
hundred. In fact I almost bleeve its
almost better not to make any resolu-
tion at all than to make one In one
ear and brake it out the other in the
next breth After all, keeping the reso-
luton is the main point and object
of the whole transaction, and just
meerly making it is nothing but a
means to an end, as you mite say, SO
certeny hope, Willyum, that II you
make a resolution about smoking this
year you'll keep it to the uttermost let
ter of the law without exception in
stead Of regarding it in the lite Of an
unpopular law or an 18th amendment
or something she said. And not ony
that, but one broken resolution leeds
to another, and so on till a vicious
circle is formed with you in the mid
die, she said.
I'm quite of your opinion, pop said.
Any resolution that's not kept is not
werth having, and this New YeerS
bleeve me I'm going to make a resolu-
ton about smoking and then I'm going
to make a resolution to keep that reSo
luton, and then Ill keep both of them
he said.
Well now Willyum that's wonderful
TO hear and I congratulate you, what
resolution are you going to make, are
you going to sware off smoking alto
gether In one fell swoop with your
bridges bernt behind you? ma said, and
pop said, On the contrary, I'm going to
resolve to keep rite on smoking as
though nuthing had happened, so still
your qualrnS and quiet your fears, be-
cause mark my werds I'm going to keep

Everyday Psychology
Life Patterns.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.

Unfortunately none of us have the
ability to discover the real reasons why
we think. feel and behave as we do.
Fortunately psychology, as a science Of
human life, has progressed to the point
where 1t can with some certainty eX-
plain human behavior
Psychologists talk about patterns.
They have found q few which appear to
be native or inb6rn. All individuals
set out on life's highway with the same
equipment. This equipment Of patterns
consists in being unhappy when we are
hungry, angry when something blocks
our movements, afraid when we find
ourselves alone.
The scientific names for these origi-
nal patterns are discomfort, rage and
fear They are found to have wide
range Of application. And the range
widens as we grow older
These patterns are hooked up with
the countless thousands of things called
experience. We come TO have general
notions, hopes, phobias, prejudices,
preferences for this or that, antipathies
for this and that.
Look over your stock of settled ideas
and pet notions. You will find that
they are patterns made out Of the orig
inal mirdstuff, called discomfort, rage
and fear. They differ somewhat from
other peoples patterns, because your
experiences have been different.

CIVIL SERVANTS SOON
 TO BE FINGERPRINTEI,
Detroit Free Press. <.

VDetTolC free tTeSS.fs.S
 After July 1, according, to an san- nouncement in Washington, all of the 10000 civil servants appointed an- nually by the federal government will be fingerprinted. The. civil service commission does not assume that all applicants for federal appointments, or any considerable. number of them, are criminals, with traceable. police records; but experience has, shown that it is just. as we'll for Uncle Sam to take no chances. The employment of tingerprints in the New York nost- office has resulted in a 50 per cent re duetion in losses" during the Christ mas rush, when a large, number of extra employees are taken on. They are also. resuired in the prohibition, customs, and narcotic service.
 The long and, almost exclusive as sociation of fngerprints. with crime records; has given this virtually infal- hble means of personal identifcat ion
 
 a4iead odor. Criminals fear it; and many people, who are not criminals, seem to think that there is something contaminating in the, ink that :. pre- serves a,ife-long a ,.imprint~of one -,of their most easily recorded individual and distinguishing physical features. The fingerprinting of 10000 civil ser vice applicants a year. while it may not immediately popularize the prac- tice, will remove the stigma of crim- inality from it in the minds of a con- stantly widening circle of people.
 There is nothing compulsory about, the civil service commissions innova- tion. Anyone who objects to being finEerprinted does not have to, work for the federal government. We may yet see the day-advanced by the, in- crease of dishonesty in unexpected, as well as expected. quarters-when
