BEES' HONEY FATAL
Baghdad Via MEA The
stingless bees of Baghdad pro
duce honey. But they don't
need to worry about its being
stolen because it may be
poisonous.
That is what the owner of
one of the city's beautiful gar
dens told me as we watched
some bees entering and leav
ing a crack in an old wall. At
first we thought they were
wasps, but after he captured
one as it emerged from a near,
by flower we could see it was
a stingless bee.
As to the possible danger
in its honey, the reason is that
bees of this type do not feed
onlv uron flowers and Mns-
soms. They sometimes visit
the vilest refuse, even the de
caying bodies of dead animals.
That doesn't mean of course,
that the stingless bees honey
is necessarily dangerous. Ex
periments with artificial
hives of stingless bees in the
United States have shown
that their honey can be high
ly satisfactory. But in those
countries where sanitary mea
sures have not been so wide
ly adopted as in ours, it has
been found wiser to use honey
of the usual type.
Horizontal Layers
The stingless bees, incident
ally, generally build their
honeycombs in horizontal ra
ther than vertical layers, and
the hive is usually entered
through a long tube.
Before we go out of the gar
den we caught sight of a
group of the regular honey
bees swarming. They were
forming a heavy mass of the
trunk of an old willow tree,
and the beekeeper, his turban
ned head shrouded in a heavy

veil, was advancing purpose
fully upon them.
They were of a kind known
as Caucasian honeybees. They
had a grayish cast to them,
quite unlike those I remem
bered at home, and their re
action to the beekeeper's ap
proach was moderate, thor
oughly in keeping with their
reputation for having a gen
tle temperament. .
I saw no bumbleebee in the
garden. Humblebee rather, to
give them their proper name.
There, are two main rea
sons why the humblebee, is
called that. One is that the
queen among the humblebees
is less class-conscious than her
counterpart among the honey
bees. The humblebee queen
will pitch in and. help the
workers in their duties about
the hive. The honeybee queen,
on the other hand, devotes all
her time to the business of
laying eggs. The second rea
son is that the humblebees
live in the ground instead of
above it.

Portland (DPD Retail bread
prices went up two cents on
the one-pound and one-and-one-half

would be general throughout

Bakers attributed the high

other manufacturing costs.
The raise here followed a
similar increase in Washing

A run of luck by gamblers,

for the casino closure.
Although the casino had a
bankroll of half a million dol

with stockholders, most of
whom are in Chicago.

"In the field of ethical (prescription) drugs especially,
the public has a right to expect and demand a degree of

Morse Named to

Washington, D. C. Sen.
Wayne Morse (D.-Ore) said he
was "pleased and gratified"
by the first meeting today of
the Special Foreign Relations
subcommittee on Canadian
American affairs, of which he
has been appointed a member.
The purpose of the subcom
mittee is to study the desir
ability and possibility of es
tablishing a permanent, regu
lar body through which mem
bers of the United States,
Congress and the Canadian
Parliament can discuss mat
ters of mutual interest to the
two countries. The subcom
mittee members will explore
with their Canadian counter
parts the setting up of such a
body.
Morse said he intends to ad
vocate and work for an inter
parliamentary body of this
kind for Canada and the
United States. The senator
continued, "Our inter-related
defense problems, our inter
related foreign policy, our inter-related
trade, make it
highly desirable, in my opin
ion, that Congress keep in
touch with Parliament on
these matters by exchanging
views and ideas on them."

ASSAULT AND BATTERY
Martin and Wright were in
a violent quarrel. Martin
pulled a pistol from his
pocket and in a threatening
manner said to Wright, "I'm
going to kill you?" Martin
knew the pistol was not load
ed but Wright did not. Quick
ly Wright jumped through the
window and ran. Wright is
now suing Martin for $5,000
damages for this "assault."
Should he get damages?
Yes, Martin should get dam
ages because an "assault"
was committed here. In law
an assault has three elements.
(1) It must be an unlawful
threat or attempt with force
or violence to do physical
harm to another. (2) The
threat or attempt must be
coupled with the ability or ap
parent present ability to exe
cute it. (3) And it must be
done under such circum
stances as to cause a well
founded fear of immediate
harm.
Well Founded Fear
Wright didn't know the pis
tol was unloaded and he was
placed in just as much fear
as if it had been loaded. It ap
peared to Wright that Martin
had the present ability to kill
him and he had every reason,
under the circumstances, to
have a well founded fear of
being killed.
Quite often the words
"assault" and "battery" are
used together as though they
were the same thing. But in
most states there is a very dis
tinct difference. The actual
offer or threat to use' force io
the injury of another person
is assault, the use of it is bat
tery. It is true that in many,
if not most, instance the
threat is carried out and
there is both a threat and an
actual physical harming of
another.
In assault the threat must
be unlawful.. Some threat:

stant threat of bodily harm.
In boxing the threat is lawful
becaues both contestants have
agreed to this lawful type of
threat by entering into the
match. Sometimes it has been
said that there cannot be a
battery without an assault.
This is not true because in a
case where one is struck
while asleep, there is clearly
a battery but the person was
not placed in fear of physical
harm before the battery.

his home, his belongings behind him.
But 70,000,000 people like Varga still remain behind

come to them in one way: from stations like those of
Radio Free Europe. Every day, every hour, the 29
super-powered transmitters of this freedom network
are at work, overpowering Red efforts at "jamming,"
slashing through Red lies, renewing hope that free
