Several instances of prowling if not ac-, tuai t hievery in homes, left unocclipied have occurred recently in New Trier vil- lages ,vhile the owners were awav 0o1 vacation. Which calls for the oft reiter- as recreation cari be enjoyed at such a ,ridiculously low cost and without serious curtailment of play facilities. What ap- plies to Wilmette must certainly applv in similar measure to Kenilworth, Winnetka' and,,Clencoç. that he sould have refrained f romn that effort and confined his activities to the' police station blotters, leaving apiarian reporting to those more conversant with that scientific industry. However, the story intrigued me, and 1 sought diligently for the reason, which for sonie time quite eluded, me,- comb 'my memniory as I might. Theni it came to M e, and 1 cannot stand the strain of silence. 'lo elucidate.: heMore "Hooey" About HoneyBecs Testory reminded me of.costly litigation I once lîad with a person .of no -particular standing-over a honey.bee. For your information, I will state that 1 am an apiarist of international reputation, ai- though, having made a fortune at thîe busines-s~-I- arn now retired and in politics. My apiary was prob- ably the mfost extensive ini this 'country,..consisting of ýseve>ral'thousanid colonies, or "stands," Of bées. My stock wvas of the finest strains.of'the aristocratic Egyptianbee, scientifically known as A pis fasciata. I neyer bothered with the common or plebeian.varie- ty.known 'as Apis inellifica, upon which your Mr. Zi.bble appears to be wasting his time. As a means of protectinig my-,valuable propety Y had branded> my bees on the. left hind l.eg with the "Bar-X" made famfous by Zane Grey. This, of course, wvas quite contrary to the practice of ordinary apiarists, most of whom brand on the right shoulder, althougli some stili follow the older 'custom, of punchIng holes in the ear.- * A isitStor's ane Aongaide Titis: One day while driving inmy automobile I passed a farmi some :miles from my apiary, and chancing to glaiice toward the house, which stood back several hundred yards f rom ýthe rüad, 1 espied', sitting on the fence which surrounded the yard,. One of, My, tavorite bees which had been missing for sorne days. 1 immediately turned anid upon approaching the house demanded of the owner that . he restore to me rny lost bee. He refused. 1. therefore appealed to. the courts and had a writ of replevin issued, thereby regaining possessioni of my bee. The case was stubbornlv contested, but the "Bar-X" brand proved conclusively that the bee was mine, and it was awarded to mie hy the jury.. The judge, \N,1) was Cockney, released the fellow and told him to he've"himself ini future. You se kevm hes whnsw them. [t wasprecy silly for you to say that thebees were "PuÉring." Bees do not purr.

Aside rrom these purely sentimental considerations, let us Ponder the practical value of mud'dy water: (1) It coats the 'swimmer's hide se that it is imper- vious to sunburn; (2) muddy water soothes the Itch- ing caused by bites of beach insects; (3) muddy water makes the use of eye-wash, mouth-wash and' hair-washi a necessity and thus aide the business upturn by stimulating, the sale of these ptoducts. -.W.
