Bee specialists of the U. S. department of agriculture say the average bee collects several times her weight in honey in a season, but tfels is only about a quarter of an ounce, on the average. So, if a be# could live that long, it would take her 64 years to make one pound of honey. But while the bee is making her quarter of an ounce of honey, she is making untold wealth in the form of apples, melons, clover seed, and many other fruits and seed through her pollinating activities.

The area of the country measures 47,549 square kilometers, with a population of 1,126,413 (1934), averaging a density of 23.7 inhabitants per square kilometer. Estonians are a branch of the Finno-Ugrian family of nations and linguistically closely akin to the Finn* There is ample proof that they were settled in their present place of residence long before the year 2,000 B. C. The favorable geographical position of the country which enabled its people to attain considerable prosperity, has often tempted Estonia's neighbors to invade and subject her. • mix SCMJARI CAKI DISH for light, golden calces and bceadi.

When James Hunker strolled into the club that night for a drink he was told there was a letter for him. He opened it, examined the contents, and put the letter back on the rack. "It's not for me," he explained. "It's an overdue tailor's bill for the other fellow!" Later on Robert Hunker, younger and more spruce tix^n his namesake, came in, and was handed the envelope. Robert spread his legs before the fire, glanced casually at the contents of the envelope, and with a smile at his fellow-members, he sighed: "Silly little girl!" Storage of Canned Food Having a cool storage place for canned food is especially important. If jars are kept where it's warm, bacteria in them may grow and cause food to spoil. A dry place is best, because dampness may injure metal caps. And jars need to be kept in a dark place because light fades food and is hard on vitamins. Food in tin cans needs the same storage conditions, except that light doesn't harm it. If you are planning to build in Shelves for canned food, have them 10 inches deep for jars up to the quart size. A convenient width is 12 inches. This is wide enough for three rows of jelly glasses or two rows of large jars.

Here's the method employed by Heinz Meng, Cornell university graduate student in ornithology. First, he went to Maryland, because the Atlantic coast is a major migration route in the fall. Then be buried himself in the sand on the beach so that all that showed •was his head. And even that was party covered with grass. He held a pfgeon (for bait) on is chest, with his hands buried in the sand, and waited patiently for a hawk to be fooled. On the third day, the lure attracted a duck hawk. The rare bird dove 10 times, suspiciously eyeing the prey. "I could hear the swish of his wings as he flew past my face, faster than a mile a minute," said the ornithologist. Suddenly the hawk appeared directly overhead and came down on Meng like a divebomber, clamping his vice-like talbns onto the pigeon. With lightning speed, he snapped the lure's neck with one quick bite of his powerful beak. At that instant the ornithologist reached up and grabbed the hawk. He was not clawed too badly, he said, but still has the scars of battle. If you're still interested, you'll need a special permit to catch hawks. Meng says hawks have been the target of much false propaganda. About 90 per cent at all hawks jsre beneficial, he declares. MONET TALKS "I simply can't make the new neighbors oat," she said. "They have no car, no record player, no television! set. Her jewelry is a bunch of junk and she hss no fur coat." "Perhaps," said hobby, slyly, "they have some money."

Representative 111 ^ Brlgkt New Rests Api^ar Te kii Blory to fiartfent Names of the two roses selected as winners of the 1949 All-America rose selections are Forty-Niner and Tallyho. Both are hybrid teaa. These two All-America selections have come through the rigorous set of standards to which the many new hybrids are subjected each year. The roses schieved nearly perfect Scores in the 18 official test gardens where they had been under trial. They have demonstrated that they could flourish in any part of the country. Forty-Niner is said to be the moat brilliantly hued bicolored rose ever introduced. Its outstanding featyre is the color of the petals--a rich yellow outside which contrasts and yet harmonizes with a vivid red inside. The bud is a chrome yellow, sometimes overlaid with pink. This changes to straw yellow in the open bloom. The inside of the petals is an Orient red which turns cherry red as the blossom ages. Tallyho is also bicolored. It has an unusual tint entirely new to roses. The coloring varies according to the weather and planting location. The outside of the petals fluctuates from crimson to cardinal red, while the inside exhibits several shades of pink, including Tyrian rose, China rose, Phlox pink and Neyron rose Utile brother and sister were discussing their favorite colors. The little boy asked his sister what her favorite color was. To which she answered, "Pink and blue." That didn't please brother. "You can't have two favorite colors." "Blue, then. Now brother, what's your favorite color?" Little brother replied knowingly: "Plaid." Daydreaasa "My wife had a dream last night and thought she married a millionaire." "You're lucky.
