RICHMOND, Va, May 7-Vir-
ginia's literary fund under present
conditions falls far short of Thomas
Jefferson's conception of it as the main
support of the public school system,
but it is aiding to the extent of about
a million dollars year in the building
of modern, consolidated schools.
Started in 1903 by Jefferson, who
thought it would grow large enough
for the income to pay the cost Of
operating the public schools. the fund
has not grown as fast as the school
system, but does contain more than
100000 and is increasing at the rate
Of more than half million year.
Most of the increase comes from
fines collected by the courts from per-
sons convicted of State offenses. The
income also adds about $250,000 a
year to the principal. Waste lands
sold by the State also went into the
fund. under Jefferson's plan, but the
income from that source now Is
negligible. So
Rate Increases Sharply.
The fund grew slowly in the 10th
century but the rate has increased
sharply under the impetus of the
modern school program. 1t would
have grown faster, school officials be-
lieve. II the localities had not adopted

which takes effect in June, the board
may lend up to 100000, not to exceed
three-fourths the cost, on a single
building.
This change from the SIS, 1000 and
two-thirds limits now in effect, school
authorities say, was necessitated by
the trend toward consolidated schools
and larger, fireproof buildings.
Fund Kept Revolving.
Latest figures in the files Of John
Crosby. education department auditor,
show $4,630,376 invested in school
board loans at 4 per cent and $685.
835 in loans to State institutions OF
higher learning under the Noel act,
also at 4 per cent.
Repayments and collections ag-
gregate about q million dollars a year,
and keep the fund revolving.
Although loans from the fund fall
far short of meeting all demands OF
local boards for building financing,
they are credited with materially aid
ing Virginia in increasing the value
of her school buildings from $8,500.-
900 in 1910 to more than $4,000, 900
in 1887.

All day yesterday the city garage OF
Alexandria, Va, hummed with ac-
tivity never before seen there.
It all started late Thursday after
noon when a resident in the 1900 block
of King street called the Police De-
partment to report a swarm Of bees
on rose vine in her yard. The police,
who are ready to face armed bandits
at all hours Of the day, decided this
was a job for q bee expert and asked
Joseph Baum and Henry Dixon of the
city garage, former farm boys, to an
swer the call.
Armed with Q dishpan, the men ap-
preached the bees and coaxed them
into q cardboard box. Baum, who
weighs about 200 pounds, made noises
with the dishpan and jumped up and
down shouting "Hey-hey" to keep the
bees swarming, he explained.
The bees were taken back to the city
garage for the night. Attendants who
opened the building yesterday found
the bees had escaped and filled the
room. Many had been killed and the
floor was covered with bees. Thous-
ands more remained alive, however,
and one mechanic, peering into the
seething swarm in an effort to locate
the queen bee, was stung. Police say
there is no danger of him staging q
