Bees Not Wax Collectors

1t is a common mistake to sup
pose that honey bees collect wax
from flowers. Beesway is a prod
uct of digestion and is secreted by
the workers in the form of tiny
scales which appear between the
segments on the under side of the
abdomen. The notion that bees
collect wax from flowers undoubt-
edly arose from the fact that they
collect pollen. which is carried to
to the hairs of the hind legs. This
pollen. often confused with wax. is
converted into bee-bread by mix.

the plans of
bankers organizations throughout
the nation. They are not the out
growth merely of the past year of
business adversely, but have been
carried on actively for many years
and have resulted in great progress
along lines of better, safer banking
methods. Although banking along
with all business has suffered re.
verses, conditions in this field have
been far less severe than they
would have been had not the bank
ers been widely successful in their
endeavors to develop the high
standards that now prevail.
The American Bankers Associa.
ton and bankers organizations in
every state actively support the
principle of government supervision
of banking. The national banks.
which receive their charters to do
business from the federal govern
ment, are under the supervision Of
the Comptroller of the Currency at
Washington. Through his efficient
staffs of expert bank examiners in
every section he has the duty and
powers to keep watch of the way
every national bank is being con-
Quoted, to suggest desirable changes
in its policies or methods and even
to step in and take control for the
protection of the depositors if such
action is warranted. The state
banks, also, which are chartered by
the various state governments, are
subject to similar supervision and
control by state bank officials.
Bankers Favor Public Supervision
Present laws adequately enforced
contain ample provisions for gov.
eminent supervision. Bankers uni
versally believe in strong, capable
banking departments manned by
officials with the discretion and
courage to enforce these laws and
act under them as the common vel.
fare demands. They believe that
these public officials should be paid
sufficient salaries to command the
services of men of character, abil-
ity and a resolute spirit of public
service. They believe also that the
banking departments should be
kept free from all political or other
special influence in order to be
able to act at all times for the bene-
tit of the public interest.
Although banks in the United
States operating under state or ma
tional charters are thus subject to
supervision of public authority,
they are strictly private business
enterprises. They are owned by
their stockholders and administered
by officials chosen through the
boards of directors which their
stockholders elect. No bank is
owned or operated by the United
States Government, nor, with one
small exception in a western state.
by any state government. The func-
ton of government in banking is to
and enforce careful bank |
ing administration through the sys-
tenn of examination and supervision
which / have described. This, how
ever, does not relieve the Individual
deposition from the necessity of
