Indians Honey Bee Was
Called White Mans Fly

The honey bee is not native to the
United States, but was introduced
here 300 years ago. There was no
word for honey bee in the American
Indian language and bees became
known to the Indians as the white
mans fly, relates writer in the
Chicago Tribune.
Authorities say that honey bees
were introduced into New England
in 1888 and that they likely were
brought from Holland. These first
bees were of the small type, COM
monty called black bees. They are
common, but are not so popular
among beekeepers as the larger
kinds, such as Italian bees.
The fact that wild honey bees have
, been found in hollow trees and in
caves in widely scattered areas of
this country during the last 300
years has led to the popular belief
that they are native. But those ia
miliar with the history of the honey
bee say that the first wild ones
in America were swarms that left
their hives in New England apiaries
and flew off into the woods. AS civ
ilization spread westward across the
country the honey bee went with it
and often preceded the settlers.
Beekeepers refer to the different
kinds of honey bees as races rather
than breeds or varieties. There are
many races and they are divided
roughly into three groups, the East
ern, the European, and the African.
The race most often found in api-
aries in this country is the Italian.
These bees first were brought to
America shortly before the Civil
war. They are found wherever bee
keeping is practiced commercially
and are considered by majority Of
keepers as the best of all races.
They are credited with being easy
to handle, good honey producers,
and more resistant than other races
to disease, especially European foul
brood.

Britain's Constitution
Not Like That of u. S.

Great Britain does have a consti-
tuition, but it in no way corresponds
to ours. It is mainly unwritten and
customary, but its development is
marked by certain outstanding and
fundamental laws, the principal
ones of which are the following:
The Magma Charta, adopted in
12l5, which secured annual parlia-
ments and the equal administration
of justice;
The Habeas Corpus Act, adopted
in 1879, securing the liberty of the
person;
The Act of Settlement, in 17Ol,
providing for the Protestant success
sion to the throne;
The Act of Union with Scotland,
17O7;
The Act of Union with Ireland !;
1900;
The Parliament Act of 1911, which
enabled the commons to pass GER
tain acts without the concurrence
of the other chamber;
The Government of Ireland Act,
1920, and the Irish Free State
(Agreement) Act of 1922;
The Westminster Act, 1881, bring
ing to an end the control once ex-
ercised by parliament over the Do
minions, and recognizing their
equality of status with the British
government and cabinet.
The constituent parts of the Brit
iSh constitution describe the SOW
ereign, the legislative, the executive
and judiciary.

How Some Spiders Travel

With some spiders the method OF
travelling is a novel one, for when
quite small it will let out length OF
silken line from it's body and this
floats in the breeze. When suf-
ficient is released the baby spider
is lifted and carried a mile or more
to a new haunt, says London Tit
Bits Magazine. You will often see
a spider waiting patiently in the
center of its web for food, day fol-
lowing day and no fly entering the
trap, but the spider appears to grow
and thrive. Certain spiders, after
a good meal, are able to store a
supply of food in their bodies, and
the large garden spider has been
known to live for Is months with
out touching any outside food.

an illustration of his eagerness to get
ahead.
One day promoter Karl Ogren re-
Anderson wanted to come to Amer
lea. The same day Ogren cabled
him an offer. The next day he re-
ceived an acceptance and Immediately
cabled back money for tranSporta-
ton and the next day-just two days
after negotiations opened-Anderson
was on the boat and headed toward
the United States.
He weighs 205 pounds, stands six
feet-three, hits like battering ram
and loves to fight
He is amazingly fast for a big
fellow.
Of course, he's green. He won't be
ready to fight top notchers for two
years; but, when his time comes,
watch him.
Conn Comes Up.
In the national scene, most inter-
esting fighter of the day is Billy Conn,
the Pittsburgh light heavyweight.
He used to be middleweight and
beat everybody in that class. The
first time he moved into the light
heavyweight division he beat the
champion of that class.
They say he will be heavyweight
within a year. If so, he will be a
hard one to handle for he is light
ming fast and one of the cleverest
boxers the game has had in some
time
One observer compares him to Jock
Malone Just imagine what heavy
weight Jock Malone would be. He'd
box the big fellows dizzy.
1t is probably true that Conn is the
most polished all around fighting man
of his day.
It's just a question of whether he
will get big enough. If he does he'll
be a champion.
First Sign of Fall.
First warning that the football sea-
son is coming along is the rush for
tickets to Minnesota's games.
VI have
come to the ticket office.
Most of all the fans want to see
Minnesota play Northwestern. Sec
ond most popular game is the Wis
consin game and then Ohio State
Purdue ranks fourth, Arizona fifth
on the Gophers home schedule.
1t is already indicated thousands
of fans will follow the team to Ann
Arbor where possibly the most i'm
portant game of the Western confer
ence season may be played.
The Gophers have had the better
of Michigan for years now; but this
year it's an even thing; and when
Minnesota and Michigan are evenly
matched there can't be more thrill
ing game anywhere. Ninety thousand
will see it.
POfahl to Cubs.
Not in years has Minnesota bred
baseball player moved ahead as SEN
sationally as Jimmy Pofahl who
learned his baseball as member of
a Junior American Legion team at
Faribault.
After two years of seasoning in the
American Association he will un-
questionably be sold to the major
leagues this fall, and I'm willing to
stake plenty that he will make good.
Most likely guess is that he will
go to the Chicago Cubs. They need
a shortstop and are willing to pay.
Their need is so great, in fact, that
they are pretty certain to outbid any
other team.

Before buying, prospective
