viii be pure. This strict selective-
ness Of insect diet gives the world
some distinctive honey, such as the
Greek honey of Mount Hymettus and
the American brands favored with
star thistle or purple alfalfa or tulip
tree blossoms.
The bee that has acres of blooms
which she prefers within easy reach
naturally fattens the honeycomb
more quickly than the insect with
only an area Of assorted wild
flowers available. Clover is the
principal raw material for the
honeymakers in the United States.
California Leads Nation.
California, where the American
honey tide rises highest, encourages
the bee with fragrant orange and
sage blossoms. Michigan and Ohio,
however, (the states next in honey
production) have miles and miles Of
clover for their bees to drink. Iowa
and New York are also chiefly clover
states, but their hives produce such
variations as raspberry and buck
wheat honey. Texas turns its bees
out to feast on cotton blossoms and
mesquite, with results that place
the state among the half dozen larg-
est honey producers.
The bee is a tidy little European
immigrant that has made good in
the United States. Her secret for

Putting the honey bee to work

pollen from one flower to an
other on their day-long honey
hunt. Singing out crop which
does not ordinarily tempt bee appe-
tites. Soviet scientists extracted
syrup from the flowers and fed it

It is astonishing to see the lengths

clusion of three questions. He made

a MATEUR boxing as sport
= ranking equal to football, bas-
ketball, hockey or any of the others
has been long advocated by Ed
Haislet, director of Golden Glove ac-

one of the most ardent boxing enthu-

Haislet fathers an ambitious pro-
gram which is backed by the Min
neap0lis Star-Journal, co-supervis0r
of the Golden Glove tournament in
Minnesota. He believes every
school should include the sport on
its athletic program; that every
fighter should wear a protective he'll
met, and that thumbless boxing
gloves should be used by amateurs.
The helmet protects the head and
eliminates caulifiOwer ears. Eyes
would be protected from gOuging

It is Haislet's claim that boxing
will make better men of the partic-
ipants; that no other sport can
