 The question of representation was put to an attempted settle- ment several weeks ago, with an agent of the NLRB present for ar informal hearing, with delegates of the factory and of the union pres- ent. No settlement was made how ever, and the necessity of a formal hearing developed as result.

THE queen Of the hive, her Royal
Highness, WAS made such by the
food she ate. So you see how impor-
tant food is.
Farmer Browns boy and his two
city cousins, Sue and Sammy, had
been lining bees, which Is 4 method
Of bee hunting. They had found q
bee tree-a tree with 4 hollow in it
in which 3 swarm of runaway bees
had made their home Farmer Browns
boy had been up the tree and reported
q long crack out of which . little
honey was leaking. Sammy wanted
to see this for himself, and climbed
the tree. Now he was down, his
curiosity satisfied. Indeed, it was
rather more than satisfied. One bee
had stung him on the nose and an
other had crawled inside his collar
before using her fiery little lance.
What did you do up there?" de-
manded Farmer Browns boy As he
plastered the stung places with wet
mud to take out the smart.
L didn't do anything for them to
get mad about. Honest I didn't,
Tommy. only tried to cut out Z
splinter along that crack so as to get
just little Of that honey" replied

He has been busily engaged for several
days blowing bubbles He is now watt
ing for her to do her part. Finally
she lays few eggs. He darts toward
them. fertilizes them quickly and, TAX
ing them in his mouth, attaches a
bubble, floating them to the bubble
nursery.
Between guarding the growing nest
and keeping track of the eggs laid
here and there by his spouse, the young
father is on the go most of these ex-
citing days. As long rs his mate is
laying eggs he can handle the situa-
ton. Her one-track mind is carry
ing out her maternal duties, ana this
one thing she does.
But her husband, knowing that para
disc fish mothers. after they accom-
plish their egg-laying, are very liable
to turn cannibalistic or develope q
craving for eggs, If this temptation
comes upon her, the stern duty of her
mate Is to curb her appetite, and, sad
to say, he has been known to love his
children more and feel called upon to
Slay their mother.
This sad state Of affairs does not
usually exist when the fish occupy .
larger body of water than is pro-
vided in the average home aquarium.
I would not have you think that this
Is the usual thing. When there is
ample space the husband has even
been known to coax his wife into help
ing defend their children or gather the
eggs together after he has fertilised
them. Or, when the mother WAS . bit
unnatural, she has been chased from
home.
If you have the care Of the aquarium
and = pair Of paradise FISH decide to
raise family, take the precaution of
removing the mother after she has
laid her eggs. placing her in . small
bowl until her children can take care

Mr.. Smarty." declared Sue. "What
do We do now that we've found those
bees, Tommy"
Leave them alone for the pres
ent." replied Tommy. III cut my
initials on that tree. That will show
any one else who may happen to find
that tree that l claim the honey
Then we'll 60 home. 1t isn't late
enough in the season for them to have
made enough honey to make it worth
while opening the tree now"
rs 1t true" asked Sue, that each
hive has just one queen and that she
is bigger than any of the othess?'
Sue asked.
Tommy nodded "Just So" he
agreed. She lays all tie eggs. She's
more than just a queen; she's the
mother of the colony. She ought to
be called the Queen Mother for that
is what she is"
How does she get to be queen?"
asked Sammy, still nursing his sore
spots.
''Oh. she eats her way to the throne. {"
replied Tommy, twinkle in his eyes
"Aw, 60 on" grunted Sammy.
1T is fact" retorted Tommy.
THE egg the queen comes from is
just like all the other eggs that the
workers hatch from. It's the food
she is fed when baby, and plenty
OF room in which to grow, that make
her a royal princess. Then when a
new queen is needed she is it. It's the
food that does it,"
Il never heard of such a thing ~
declared Sue, and looked at Tommy
very hard to see If he seemed to be
telling the truth.
Tommy grinned. Don't believe
that, do you. Sue? Well. it's a fact 4"
said he. When a hive begins to pet
crowded the workers know that it is
ABOUT time to start new colony. To
90 that those who leave must take
the queen with them because she is
the one who lays the eggs. But those
left behind must have a queen. so
they proceed to make one. They tear
out the partitions between three ad-
Joining cells, build a big cell where

stroying the others. and when the
egg matches feed the baby with a
special food called royal jelly, and
she develops into princess who later
may become the queen. Ordinary
babies are fed honey and bee brea d
made from pollen. So you see it is
true that food can make a queen"
i wonder what royal jelly is like. +"
