Police Draft Expert on Bees
amateurs Problem in Disposing OF Swarm Solved
When Specialist Arrives With
Cardboard Box.

After wetting down the swarm, Moi
fat, who is an employe of an ice cream
company, and was having his first
encounter with bees sawed the limb
from a shade tree on which the visitors
had settled
Moffat got the limb off without being
stung, but didn't know what to do with
the swarm after he got it. He sug-
gested that some one take them away,
but there were no volunteers.
Arrives With Cardboard Box.
The neighbors advised him to drop
them in sewer, scald them, put in a
bushel basket and give them to the
Police Department or hire taxicab for
the bees.
Moffat was still considering the sug-
gestions when Weaver arrived with a
cardboard box in which he had cut a
small hole. The bees, it seemed, were
seeking a home and the box must have
looked like an apartment house to them,
from the way they swarmed through the
front door.

The acute bee housing situation In
Washington this year is not as en-
barrassing as it has been to police and
f1remen, who are beginning to learn
about bees.
Confronted with another 10000 busy
home-seekers at Eighth and G streets
southeast this morning. the policc called
out Engine Company No. 18 and then
hurried off for additioal assistance.
While the firemen were coping IN
their own way with the swarm-'turn
the hose on them" they suggested, the
police located a bee expert in John
Weaver. 1400 K street
But Weaver was little weary OF
finding homes for stray bees, after
gathering in a score of swarms this
Spring. He had given most of them
away, he said, since his own colony OF
20 hives or so was already crowded.
Appeal on Humane Basis.
The police made their appeal on a
humane rather than commercial
basis and Weaver consented to help
when informed the bees might suffer
at the hands of amateurs.
Meanwhile, in the front yard at 1928
G street southeast, James Moffat was
following the advice Of the firemen,
while the mothers of the neighborhood
tried to persuade their offspring that
a few honey bees was no excuse for
being tardy at school

CoIorfuI Regatta Marks For.
NAL Opening of Boating
Season Here.

More than 200 craft-power, sailing
and auxiliary-representing the Poto-
macs five yachting clubs and the
enthusiastic no-club boating fraternity,
yesterday afternoon sailed on parade in
the Potomac River, Washington Chan
mel and the AnacoStia River in the
National Capitals first marine process
sion. The line of boats exceeded four
miles in length and its movement over
Washington waters marked the formal
opening Of the boating season here.
The parade got under way from a
rendevouz in the Potomac just north
of Alexandria. A gun cracked out from
procession started. Virtually every
craft in line was dressed, gay-colored
buntings fluttering from crowded hal
yards. The course lay upstream in the
Potomac to the railroad bridge at
Fourteenth street, downstream again to
round Hains Point, up the Washington
Channel, then down and around the
point at the Army War College and up
the Anacostia River to the Navy Yard
where the formation broke.
Witnessed by Thousands.
The parade was witnessed by thou
sands of Washingtonians who packed
the Potomac Park drives in traffic jam
that required clever policing to un-
tangle. If the park and traffic officers
had their problems, however, so did the
marine police. The Coast Guard had
this assignment.
At one point during the parade ma
neuvers. a business-like fish boat from
down river broke into line Ordered to
keep clear of the procession by Coast
Guardsmen, the fish boat skipper sang
out that he had load Of fish to de-
liver and couldn't wait for any parades
But the Coast Guardsmen had their
orders and as the patrolling vessel
moved nearer the offending craft, the
work boat skipper reluctantly put his
helm over and stood off from the pa
rade.
The Apache was the review boat and
from her decks a group of notables, in
cluding Rear Admiral Henry v. Butler,
U. S. NJ, commandant of the navy yard,
and Commissioner Luther H. Reichel-
derfer watched the boats.

Changes in Diet
of High Import
National Economy Affected
by Pronounced Shifts,
Expert Alleges.

What a single individual eats from
day to day may seem to be of no
national consequence, but recent
address by the senior agricultural
economist of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. DR.. O. E.
Baker, suggests the vast import of
the changes in the diet Of the peo-
pie as whole If, for example, con
sumption of wheat per capita were
now as great as before the war there
would be almost no export surplus.
1t dropped from 1917 pounds in 1916
to 164 pounds in 1882. The wheat
saving campaign probably accounted
for the diminished use during the
war; and after the war higher wages
permitted people TO eat more eXpen-
sive foods. Taking cereals as a
whole, including especially rye and
corn as human food, there was in
the same period a decrease of more
than % per cent per capita.
Another great change in diet was
the increased consumption of milk
and milk products. The first rise
"coincided" with enactment Of the
prohibition amendment, but undoubt-
edly the higher wages and other in
come of city people were an impor-
The Coolidge examiner., 1933-09-01

tant factor. It is surprising, how
ever, that milk consumption should
have continued to increase during
the economic depression. This is to
be accounted for, no doubt, in some
measure by popular education in
food values. But even now, as Doc
tor Baker states, various adequate"
diets recommended by the United
States bureau of home economics
contain without exception about
twice as much milk as the average
consumption per person in the Unit
ed States. 1t is stated by the chill
drens bureau Of the United States
Department of Labor that One-fifth
of the children of the United States
have suffered definite injury" to
their health during the depression
years.
Other changes in the national diet,
as noted by Doctor Baker, are: An
increase in the consumption of SUI
gar, a shift from apples to citrus
fruits and grapes and from beef to
pork; an increase in the use of vege-
tables, particularly the leafy and
fbrous vegetables. The remarkable
increase in their consumption is at
tributable to widening knowledge Of
yitamins and other food values.
Diet in the mass is thus a large
factor in the national economy, as
it is in that of the individual family.
