Bundle Bee Colony May Number Up to
300 or 400; Put in Very Busy Summer

The humble, or humble, bee is
recognized by its large, thick hairy
body and long bass hum. The col
onies are not numerous compared
with those of wasps, or the stingless
or the honey bee. A populous col
ony may number from 300 to 400
individuals, according to writer in
the Indianapolis News. The pro-
portions of sexes and castles of some
species have been found to be, in
a colony of 100, Is females, SO
males and SO workers. The round
ish oval cells differ in size and have
no exact arrangement. Besides the
cells containing the young, the old
discarded ones are made to serve
as honey tubs or pollen tubs.
The queen bee awakens in early
spring from her winters sleep UNI
der the leaves or moss, or in desert
ed nests, and selects nesting place,
generally in an abandoned nest of
a field mouse, or beneath a stump
or sod, and Immediately collects
small amount of pollen mixed with
honey, and in this deposits from
seven to fourteen eggs, gradually
adding to the pollen mass until the
first brood is Matched, As soon as
food enough has been collected, she
lays the eggs for the second brood.

of motion and begin feeding, they
eat the pollen by which they are
surrounded, and gradually separat-
ing, push their way in various di-
rections. When they have attained
their full size they spin a silken
wall about them, which is strength
ened by the old bees covering it with
a thin layer of wax. When the lar
vac reach the pupa stage, at
which time they remain inactive
until their development, they cut
their way out and are ready to as
sumo their duties.
The first brood that comes forth
usually is composed of workers;
about the middle of the summer
eggs are deposited which produce
both small females and males. ALI

duce the large females or queens.
On the approach of winter, all ex-
cept the queens, of which there are
several in each nest, die.

Mrs. Sentry what lay between them.
Linda, her point won, yielded to his
desire to delay the disclosure for a
while.
The day of their departure for
Cleveland, Phil was in the office in
the forenoon, said good-by to Linda
there, then went home to finish his
packing and 60 directly from the
house to the afternoon train. When
old Eli drove him and his mother
to the Trinity Place station, Phil
was surprised to find Linda waiting
on the platform.
"Just some papers for you to look
over while you're away, Phil" she
explained; and she handed him a
long envelope, unsealed. He saw
that she had written on the outside:
Open this when you are alone.
And she explained: Routine
things. Don't bother with them
now"
So Phil thrust the envelope into
his pocket, end they all stayed talk
ing together till the train pulled in.
Mrs. Sentry went first up the steps,
and she did not look back, so Phil
was able to kiss Linda before he fol-
lowed his mother aboard. He saw
through the windows Linda move
along beside the car, keeping pace

swung shrewdly toward him before
he could speak, and his courage
failed; and she smiled at nothing
and said:

pass the time"
It was hours later and he was
in his berth, undressed and about
to turn out his light, when he re-
membered that envelope Linda had
given him, still in the pocket of his
coat on the hanger here beside him.
He reached up and got it and drew
out the contents. There was a note
from Linda herself:
Dear
Take all my love with you. Phil. This
letter came to the Office addressed to
you after you left today. It's from Mary.

to you, I thought perhaps she didn't

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Scorch Marks. --Bicarbonate Of
soda is useful for removing scorch
marks from white silk. Make into
a paste with cold water and leave
on the stains until dry.
Beautifying the Hands.-After
using lemons, don't forget to wipe
off your hands with the skins.
They will remove all stains from
vegetable pairing and soften and
whiten the skin.
To Whip Evaporated Milk
Evaporated milk can be whipped
by this method: Cover can with
two inches of cold water, bring to
boil and boil for five minutes.
Then cool and chill the can thor
oughly, pour milk into cold bowl
and whip with a cold beaten.
Squeaky Carpet Sweeper. - If
your carpet sweeper squeaks, APP
ply oil on a feather or from a
small oil can. Use the oil on the
bearings and around the wheels.
Then run the sweeper over a pa
per to catch any surplus oil SO it
won't drip on your rugs.
Care Of Aluminium. -Aluminum
is one material which is apt to
warp if cold water is run into it
after it has been removed from
the fire and is still very hot.
Either wait a bit before putting
the pan to soak or run boiling hot
water into it for soaking.
Shining the Stove. - Before
blackening the kitchen stove 60
over it with cloth dipped in vine
gar to remove all the grease.
For New Griddle.-To prepare
a new aluminium griddle for use,
first wash well in warm water
and soap suds and remove any
labels. The griddle is hot enough
on range when small piece Of
paper placed on top will brown.
Lower the heat and start baking.
Cakes often stick if the griddle
is too hot. Wash the griddle after
it has been used in plenty of hot
soapy water and wipe perfectly
dry before storing.

HINT OF THE DAY
Importance Of Sleep

There's much wisdom in the adj
vice of Kitty Carlisle, lovely sing
ing star of the stage and screen:
Enough sleep and not too much
alcohol-and you can keep your face
looking IS right up to the day you
are 35."
BY way of taking her own medi-
cine, Miss Carlisle averages nine
hours sleep a night. She is equally
religious in her exercise and has de-
veloped her own method for specific
exercises.
"When I do an exercise that
makes me sore, then ! know I've
hit the right muscles for that spot. I"
she explains.
One of Miss Carlisle's favorite ex-
ercises is designed to benefit the
arms and shoulders. You place one
clenched fist in the palm Of the
other hand and then hold the hands
at chest level, elbows out at either
side. Push against resistance and
force the hands first to one side.
then to the other.
AS for keeping the waistline slim
and the tummy fiat, here's the ex-
ercise recommended by this star:
Lie on the back on the floor with
hands braced at either side, and
flop both feet back over the head.
Keep the knees straight, legs to-
gether, and slowly lower the feet
back over the head until the toes
are on the floor. The trick is to
lower the legs very slowly, and if
you can do that you are not so rusty
on exercise after all. Return to the
original position and repeat the ex-
ercise three times.

last. "You-sound bitter. Mad.
That's not like you."
Her lips twisted; he thought they
quivered, too, and there was thick
ness in her tones.
"Why shouldn't I be bitter, and
mad?" she demanded; and then
she said: "Oh, I know I've no one
to blame but myself" She stepped
on the throttle viciously; the car
leaped ahead. Goodness knows you
didn't encourage me! But like a
fool kept hoping"
you're hitting sixty, Lin!"

81 want to hit seventy, eighty!"
The car was racing.
"Stop it, Lin!" he insisted. ''Slow
down." And he said, "I'n cut the
switch, unless you do"
"Oh, all right" She dropped to a
fifty that by comparison seemed like
crawling; and she said:
"I've hung on, and hung on, hop
ing some day you'd want me so bad
you'd forget your father, and your
mother, and how much she needed
you, and everything. I guess I was
a fool, that's all. Your mother
doesn't really need you, and Bar
bara doesn't. Nobody needs you
but me-" Her voice broke. 81

me-"
He said, staring straight ahead:
81 love you, Lin, God knows. But
it isn't only that mother needs me.
It's-that nobody-that ! can't mar
ry anybody"
She drove on, and he watched the
road, and the road sped to meet
them mile on mile. Mile on mile,
and she was an automaton, like one
frozen, at the wheel; and his eyes
were bleak on emptiness; and the
road raced toward them like a rib
bon, dove beneath them, so was

green half mile ahead; saw it yell

They were close. They were upon
it! He cried in quick alarm:
''Lin! Red light"
Her brakes bit-just in time. They
slowed and swerved and skidded to
a stop with screaming tires;
and a car slid across in front of
them with bare inches to spare. The
driver bawled something, furiously,
and was gone.
The lights changed. Linda, still in
that stony silence, meshed her gears
and crossed the intersection. She
picked up speed; and then Phil cried
suddenly:

She obeyed, staring at him.

"Crazy? Phil, what do you"

Her eyes, probing his, quickened

a cross-road, of rough gravel. She

Your Shoe Tells
The Story

To begin with, good shoe has
straight inner line which keeps the
big toe straight and prevents bum
ion from forming. It should be wide
enough to give your toes ample
room for gripping when you walk.
and the heel should allow good pos
ture as well as comfort. Learn
whether you should wear a long
vamp shoe or a short vamp shoe.
Choose a model with strong arch
support and don't let style or color
influence your purchase. Just any
shoe which is pretty, is the wrong
philosophy-in fact that is flirting
with ruined health.
For general wear, I advocate a
heel no higher than one and three
quarters inches. The pretties, with
heels three inches or more, should
be kept for times when you are not
depending upon your feet to get you
there! Or for dancing.
Ignorance of foot care is another
offender to foot beauty. Regular
treatments by a registered pedia-
trist. or a chiropodist. are strongly
commended if you have the means,
otherwise you must learn to exer-
else your feet at home, daily, and
give them pedicure at least once
week. Walk around bare footed or
sandal shod, as frequently as posi-

drawing attention) sit with your feet
