The Beekeepers
IF you have not already read Maeterlinck's "The Honey
Ree" and reread all or parts of it. you have overlooked
one of the finest things in the French or the English lan
guage, and if you have not enjoyed Jean Stratton Porter's
last book, finished just before she met death by an automo
1 bile accidents you owe it to yourself to get that book and
carefully read it t
You probably saw the screen play based on Mrs. Porter s
honk. "The Keerer of the Bees."
The finest philosophers
studied bees- But science and invention have in recent years
made advances vastly beyond the ken of the ancients, in both
Vnnwledcre concerninir the life habits of honey bees and the
care of them as they toil their short lives away that is, the
females of the species for the profit and delectation of
mankind.
The members of the Oregon Beekeepers association in
annual session in Salem, at least the leaders among them,
could give even Maeterlinck
Porter pointers
For theirs is a highly progressive occupation, as well as
being one of the most interesting of all the studies and em
ployments of men and women. The honey bee is the super
insect of all its tribe. The average reader would question the
veracity of the writer if he attempted to relate half the mar
velous things that are true in the lives of the "virgin sisters
of toil," to say nothing of the drones and their queens.
One cannot think of a beekeeper without feelings of re
spect. No true follower of that occupation could be either
ignorant or dishonest or unsympathetic.
Beekeeping for the Salem district is a necessity. Our
fruit blossoms cannot have sure pollination without honey
bees '
And one day Salem will be the bee center of the world,
for this will be the best honey country on earth, as soon as
we attairv our full development, with the sweet clovers, al
falfas and vetches and other honey bearing plants and bush
es and trees that will provide an abundance of late bee pas
ture, because our early honey flow is now the best known to
any country.
This Dangerous Age
A LTHOUGH this is the age of scientific improvementyet
Jt. it does not seem to grow
gests- As fast as we devise some new method for saving
life, new ways of losing our lives are discovered.
The National Safety council is doing much to train peo
ple to meet modern dangers. Its annual congress last year
was attended by over 6000 delegates, and its safety publica
tions and posters go throughout the country. The safety
movement has progressed so far that thousands of schools
ndw teach accident prevention to their children, and safety
methods are generally introduced in factories.
In the big Salem paper mill there is a trained nurse con
stantly employed; equipped with every appliance and facility
of first aid
And in the largest fruit canneries here there are similar
provisions, to say nothing of most of the rest of our indus
trial concerns.
The motto of the age seems to be, "take a chance." Safe
ty methods help, but people have to learn that gambling with
modern perils does not pay.
Let George Do It
ALMOST complete election returns show that while the
total was the largest in the history of the country, and
the percentage of the electorate was higher than it has
been for a long time
Still only a little more than 55 per cent of the nation s
qualified voters went to the polls.
If this were not so serious, it would be a joke. We
might propose to leave our elections to the Literary Digest,
or "let George do it."
But it is no joking matter that, after the hotly contested
campaign this year, with the aid of the radio and the mov
ing picture, and all the other newiways of getting the atten
tion of the people, about 45 per cent of those entitled to "the
franchise neglected to exercise their rights.
Perhaps voting ought not to be made compulsory; but
almost any one will agree that "something ought to be done
bout it" .
Peru Does Handsome Thing
IT has long been supposed, and from many indications that
have constantly come to the surface, that the countries of
Central and South America resented the application of the
Monroe doctrine by the United States
Looking upon it as a somewhat paternalistic measure
and even more as a method of coercion whereby the will of
the United States is imposed on the smaller republics
Peru makes a gesture to indicate that no such feeling
prevails just below the equator on the Pacific side. That
country is honoring the memory of James Monroe, the au
thor of the famous document, by unveiling a portrait of the
American president.
After the good-will visit of Mr. Hoover, no doubt such
gestures will become common in the Latin-Americas
And sincere, too.
Veracity Verified

A dinary mortals in their
catches two big fish, but larger one makes good its getaway."
That's nothing new; it's an old, old story. But this time we
have the veracity of a president-elect and the Associated
Press to question and we cannot argue. .There must have
been a "larger one' !
A new dictionary of American biography is being pre
pared, the first volume of which is ready. It will include 20
volumes, 12,000,000 words, the biographies of 15,000 persons
and will take 10 years to complete. Few people will believe
that there have been that many Americans who have done
enough to warrant a biography or that there are that many
words with which to tell their stories.
Postmaster General New announces that postal clerks
are going to get their Christmas holiday this year that not
a single person in the postoffices of the United States will
be obliged to work on that day. Which means to buy 'em
and send 'em early, unless you want your presents to arrive
after Christmas.

GOING ON
When Axel Gulbransen, a yel
low haired Norwegian boy in tho
city of Oslo, went to work at
the age of 13 sandpapering pieces
of wood in an organ factory, he
probably had not thought far
enough to imagine that he would
some day be at the head of the
largest piano factory in the world
a business worth 15,600,000.
Although he did not think that
far this boy doubtless did more
thinking than the ordinary lad.
He evidently made up his mind
early that he was going to be
somebody and get somewhere.
He started in to do the best sand
papering he knew bow. And so
he went on tip always putting
his full capacity into every Jon.
The difference between the few
who get ahead and the great
number who do not Is Just this:
One thinks of a Job as a stepping
stone to something bigger. He
begins by making his own job rv"
big as he can. The other thinkr.i
with half his mind on the job.
With the other half of his mind
he thinks of what he will do as
soon as the whistle blows.

REAL DISCOVERY
Less conspicuous than finding
the North Pole or a new contin
ent or a new race of people are
the discoveries in another line.
But the - less spectacular discov
eries may effect more people for
good or evil than all the adven
tures of explorers from now on.
We learn, for example, from the
late Lord Haldane. that .the total
amount of phosgene gas required
to -put the city of London "out
of business" could be carried bv
enemy aircraft. In case of an
other war defense preparations
heretofore unknown would have
to be provided.
We learn that the radium in
dustry is in the hands of a Bel
gian monopoly, but tlyat speci
mens from a mine in South Aus
tralia have been -examined and
found excellent. This may put
Great Britain in the radium busi
ness. All the time discoveries of
which we hear little are going on,
and the future of mankind is be
ing profoundly affected.

Some one asks this question:
"Just how much praise would the
busy ,bee get if he spent his
time storing up something men
Lcouldn't steal?"
The fellow who wrote that is
thinking in the time of the dark
ages in the bee industry. Men
do not steal honey any more
that is modern bwketjpers do
not. They just go halvers witn
homes and working conditions
under which they can both pro
vide better for themselves and
give half or more of what they
produce for their rent. The bee
keeper saves their lives from dis
ease and guarantees them against
starvation in case their food sup
plies run short. It is a case of
quality production, an American
idea, with benefits all around.

Post-election statisticians get
much satisfaction from showing
what might have happened. First
they proved that by changing
250.000 votes in certain states
Smith instead of Hoover would
have been elected. Now they
show how by changing 275,000
votes Hoover's election in the
electoral college would have been
unanimous. The results of the
computations would seem to in
dicate that there are only about
525,000 votes that count for any
thing in the country. The rest of
us are mere supernumeraries
whose votes swell the totals but
don't change results.

Recipe
for fried ham
A famous cook gives these simple directions
V
teaspoons of granulated sugar on the exposed
side, keeping the flame low so that the sugar does not burn. Then
turn the ham and sprinkle two teaspoons of sugar on the other
side, keeping the flame low until the sugar is thoroughly dissolved
and absorbed into the ham. When it is finished, you will have a
delicious ham flavor such as you never found before.
The uses of sugar in bringing out and improving the flavors of
foods are practically unlimited. Sweeten cereals and note how
much more children enjoy them. Add sugar to grapefruit or any
other health-giving fruit that may be harsh to the taste. Sugar
does not injure the beneficial acids and vitamins in any- way.
