L Isn't it funny how a bear
likes honey?"
1t does not seem funny to me that
bears like honey. They like many
kinds of food. and honey is sweet and
good tasting 1t may seem queer,
however, that bears are willing to take
the risk OF stealing money from the
hives of bees When they do so they
are likely to be stung For my part.
I would rather 60 without the pleas
ure of eating honey than to let bees
practice singing on me.
Worker bees have barbed stingers.
Almost always they give up their
lives when they sting. If the barb
goes in far enough TO be caught, the
bee is doomed: and death comes in
less than an hour, as rule. A per-
son who is stung should pull the
stinger out at once, so the poison in
it will not give so much trouble.
Queen bees have Stingers which are
sharp but not barbed. and which are
not lost when used. There does not
seem to be enough room" in hive
for more than one queen. A queen
will do her best to kill other queens.
The drones. let ii oe said to their
credit, do not sting, for they do not
have stingers. They are, in sense,
the kings of the hive. AL through
the honey-making season, they have
an easy time; but at the end of the
season they may be driven away or
stung to death by the workers.
The stingers Of oees help guard
them from enemies. Jaguars and
other animals besides bears like the
honey which bees produce. If it were
not for the stingers, the bees would
not be able to stand against robbers
Long, long ago, all bees were wild"
They dwelt in forests and woods; and
used hollow trees or logs as their
homes Then came clever men. whl
captured swarms of bees and took
them to ready-built homes
In ancient times people did not
know how to take sugar from sugar
cane; and honey was very important
sweet" for them.
We now have great supply of
sugar from beets and from sugar cane.
and We can live without honey; but
We still make good use of the honey
which bees produce.
Bees do not labor to give lis fooG
Their work is done TO store up :)od

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
He's a Corker.

We have all heard and perhaps
used this expression Of enthusiastic
admiration.
Perhaps we have applied 1t to
teacher, perhaps to a business man,
perhaps to an athlete. 1t is in the
last connection that the phrase origi-
mated.
For "he is a corker" is really a
pharaphraSe of the told-time line.
He fights like calker."
A calker, as some of our readers
may be aware. was a sailor-or ar
tisan-who, with an iron and heavy
mallet, drove oakum into the seams
of wooden ships.
Because of the constant occupa-
tional use Of the wrist and forearm,
hammering away, one hand and then
the other, up and down. wherever he
could reach, waisthigh, overhead. the
calker developed tremendous punch
ing power.
Calkers were Furnishing fighters. It

FAMOUS COWS TO
 BE DISPOSED OF

Westport, Mass, July 8-(UP)- Westport's famous government cows, once intended to be part of a Massachusetts rural rehabilita- ton project, will be sold Wednes- day.
 The COWS, refugees from the drought stricken west, arrived here last summer after Louis Me- Henry Howe, secretary to Presi- dent Roosevelt. had agreed with town officials that the herd would be cared for by the town and the milk used for welfare recipients.
 Now federal authorities have decided that the rehabilitation project will be long delayed and tha.. the herd, reduced from, 53 to 15, should be disposed of. Protests of those who felt the herd com eted with private dairymeu also have been considered.
 The herd has cause dissension since its arrival. The cost of keep ing the COWS, according to some, made the milk far more expensive than if purchased in open market. Town officials denied this and pointed out that at present the cost ran about 2 cents a quart, about 9 cents above that of pri- vate owners.
 The milk, averaging 175 quarts a day, was distributed to 50 fam flies on the welfare rolls, and au- thorities have indivated that in fu- ture milk will be bought only for families with children.

 Started-TO Buy New Uniforms

Casper Davis post drum corps started house-to-house canvass to- day, entirely in the Waterville dis trict, to raise funds with which new uniforms for the outfit will be pur- chased. The uniform design has al- ready been selected and ordered.
 The uniforms will be dark red and blue in color and are reported to be entirely different in design and coloring from those of other drum corps in Connecticut. John Marshall McMahon, chairman of corps committee, urges that all who are approached for donations aid in outfitting the unit, which since it's organization a few months ago has become well known in military and musical circles.
 The corps will make its first pub lie appearance in the new uni forms at Hartford August 10 when the American Legion state conven- tion is held there. The corps will march with the Casper Davis post, No. 136, in the parade.

\ Sale of alcoholic beverages in hotels, restaurants and clubs on Sundays under the new permits as set up in the 1885 amendment to the 1888 control act was authorized late. Saturday morning by the al- dermen at an adjourned meeting. Originally 1t was understood that only hotels and restaurants would have the power to sell on Sunday, with the passage of a local ordi- nance, but certified copy of the new act from Hartford a lsD ex- tended this right to the clubs and the aldermen acted accordingly in passing the new local regulation,
 The aldermen met Monday night and received a proposed ordinance from the corporation counseps office giving the right to sell on Sundays to hotels and restaurants and setting the hours from g o'clock in the morning to midnight. The amended. proposed ordinance passed Saturday morning gave, the right to sell to three groups in- stead of two and fixed the hours at noon to o'clock in the evening, standard time.
 Passage of the ordinance does not give any Sunday opening pow CTS to holders of old permits. It only applies to holders of new permits. As no new permits have been issued as yet the holders of the old permits may continue to open on Sunday and disregard the new law. That is, they may until September list.

During the confusion, a receiving clerk, said to be Milton Litsky of Morris, scaled the fence on the Franklin street side, only to find the factory doors locked.
