The best way to look for honey

some flowers. Bees come to the
flowers to suck out the sweet juice
and then they take it back to their

live, and make the juice into honey.
They keep the honey in little wax

STILL A HERO

Still the worlds No. l air hero and
still unspoiled by the fame which has
come to him, Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh today observes the seventh anni-
versary of his history making flight
across the Atlantic. How he is observ-
ing it cannot be stated, for there has been
no advance fuss and feathers" on the
occasion.
The seven years which have passed
since May q, 1927 have not been all
kindness to Colonel Lindbergh. He has
known the shadow of tragedy such as
comes to few men to over-balance the
adulation and acclaim which the world
has given him.
Few men in his position seven years
ago today could have kept their equil-
lbrlum as he did. From an obscure mail
pilot to the central figure in the world
is terrific Jump, much more so than
the jump across the ocean, Lindbergh
took them both He didn't get his feet
wet crossing the ocean nor did he get his
head swelled.
1t is remarkable tribute to any man
showed into the role of international
hero, that he can still retain his laurels
after the passage of seven years. Lind
bergh is still page one news. He is still
the center of attraction wherever he
sary to keep his travels as secretive as
possible to avoid dangerous crowds at
airports where he might land.
1t would be folly to claim that Lind
bergh has not been subjected to criticism.
He has. His ideas and actions have been
mlslnterpreted in some cases and there
have been feeble efforts to discredit him
by some, either jealous of his prestige
or not able to understand the colonel's
sincere wish that he be permitted to live
his private life in the manner he desires.
This criticism, however, is like flea
attacking an elephant, to phrase it in
elegantly. 1t has not served to lessen
Colonel Lindbergh's hold on the people,
No matter where he might appear in
the world today, announcement of his
coming would find throngs to see him
and to welcome him. That is the best
proof of his place in history.
We have slight suspicion that if
Lafayette owed debt he would pay it.

BEWARE THE HITCH HIKER!

In the news columns of this issue may
be found an account of the heavy price
a California man paid for picking up
hitch hiker in Texas.
The Californian, a university graduate
and star college and Olympic athlete,
is dead-shot by the hitch hiker-a mis-
cradle boy of 10, who sought money.
The tragedy emphasizes as nothing
else can, the danger run by those who
pick up strangers on the road. 1t is a
particularly strong lesson inasmuch as
the victim was husky man capable of
pulling an oar in college varsity boat
test of real strength and endurance
who apparently had nothing to fear if
the 16-year-old boy tried to start some
thing.
However, the pistol is great leveler
of men and the boy armed with one is
more than a match for the unarmed
giant.
Jack Brinck gave every indication of
being an asset to the nation. He had
been successful in school and was max
ing success of business. He was high
type of citizen-the type that has made
this nation a world leader. Today he is
dead because he took chance.
The little wretch who killed him and
who admits that he did it for the pur-
or given life Imprisonment but that will
not restore fine young man to his fam
lily and friends. Brinck's book is closed
forever.
The fate he met should be terrible
warning to all motorists. They cannot
afford to take a chance even with the
most innocent looking hitch hiker.
This tragedy recalls the case of Les
lie Nichols, who met similar fate here
in Imperial Valley decade ago when he
was slain by two boys not much older
than the slayer of Brinck. The state
hanged one and the other is still in state
prison.
In the absence of any law against
picking up hitch hikers in California, it
is up to motorists to protect themselves.
The best protection is to pick up nobody
unless personally known to the driver.
