MAYOR MOURNS LACK OF CAFES, PRAISES LAZY Californian Declares Dry Law Stupid: Likes Europe. BY GEORGE KENT Cnitrd Pres* Staff Correspondent. PARIS. May 31. —The lark of ridewalk cases is what’s wrong with American cities, the United Press learned from John L. Davie, mayor of Oakland. Cal., the only American to attend the International Congress of Cities at Seville, Sp„in. "It’s nice to sit in a case and have something.” the mayor said. "It's comfortable. The sun shines. A gogetting stops panting. The world resumes its normal shape. “In America, there are no facilities for being lazy, and laziness is fully as important as diligence—in its proper place. Waiters flash the checks before the diner is half through with his meal "In Europe they do not care how long you sit Cases help the digestion and improve the philosophy. It there were more tables in the sun there would be more optimism.” 2041 Mayors Attend Mayor Davie, who attended the congress in company with 200 mayors of as many cities in various parts of the world, said that America could learn a lot from European cities. He though Europe, for example. handled traffic more efficiently than America. "True, we have semaphores and other trick devices,” he said. ‘ But Europe has cops. They control the vehicular come and go. The proof of the superiority of the European system is that there are accidents here.” Mayor Davie reverted to cases, deploring the stupidity of a "prohibition law which doesn’t prohibit.” He said that California was the greatest grape-growing country in the world and if prohibition had not interfered would be producing better wines than France. Before the war France was buying California wines and exporting them to America. No Harm In Wine “What harm is there if some people get together and take a few 6mall glasses of wine? It is positively beneficial. "But cases are not possible in America now. American cities haven't the space. Nor have they anything to ser/e in cases. You know, I like the way European cities care for their people. The large parks, the wide boulevards, the sidewalks with space for case tables ” BUSY BEE IS NOT SO GOOD: MANY STARVE Inspector Urges Keefer to Feed Colonies in S ate. The busy little bees art not so good, according to C. O. Yost, chief apiary inspector of the state conservation department. There are 200,000 bee colonies in Indiana and many of them are starving. Yost reports. "Unless beekeepers arrange to feed bees, serious losses will result,” Yost asserts. "Food should be prepared. Dissolve sugar in hot water, proportioned half and half and mixed thoroughly,” he said. “Give each colony a half gallon or more of the food at each feeding, until there is no longer any need of it.” Despite the numerous starving bees, Yost predicted a good honey crop, following a tour of the state.
