| MR, AND MRS. CHESTER L. GRAY SR. 5M0 Beechwood. ave., were no little surprised to read in The Times that their son, Sgt. Chester L. Gray Jr, Is en route back to this country on the West Point Victory. It's the same ship that took him overseas more than 22 months ago. Sgt. Gray, husband of Mrs. Geraldiné Gray, 126 N. Bosart ave, is scheduled to dock in New York soon. . . , One of the toughest & things Cliff Beeker had to do after resigning as chief of detectives was purchase a gun permit. He'd been toting guns for 23 years as a member of the police force and had yet to put out his first $1 for the permit, . . . One of our agents wonders if the G. C. Murphy § and 10 store didn't decide unwisely when it ordered a quantity of “For Rent” signs. The shore has more than 100 “House for Rent,” “Flat for Rent”, and “Rooms for Rent” signs mixed up with only a few “No Fishing” and “No Admittance” signs. The signs would all sell quicker if they turned them over . and made “No Vacancies” signs on the backs.

NN Came From Germany | - FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD Ernie Meyer attracts a lot Jof attention at the Tech high school athletic events. J It's the coat he wears that gets the stares. The huge J white sheepskin coat that almost dwarfs the Tech sophomore is a war souvenir sent to his sister, Charlotte, 949 E. Southern ave. The coat was sent from Germany and is the type worn by Germans in winter warfare. Ernie's been stopped by numerous people who wanted to know where he got the coat. . . . The sign on a W, Market street restaurant indicates that a quick repair job is being done. The sign reads, “Closed for Remodeling . . . Open 5 p. m.” +.» The way Indianapolis bus doors fold in helped one man get on an overcrowded vehicle recently, As the man was trying to get himself wedged in a tiny area left on the front step the driver yelled, “I'm closing the doors.” Then when the doors stuck half way the driver opened them again and called, “Hey, are you in?" The slightly bruised passenger squeezed up a little bit more and answered, “No, but just try closing the doors again and I will be.” The driver did and he was.

Bee Lore

i RANCHO SANTA FE, Cal, Jan. 31.—Nature is, of 1 course, wonderful; and I would be the last to detract from her wonders. But after a visit, yesterday, to the combined machine shop and apiary of Mr, Knofr —originally of Lodz, Poland, and now a resident of Rancho Santa Fe, Cal—my ideas of nature have undergone a certain amount of revision. I learned much’ about the habits of the busy bee. This little creature is not as bright as he appears to be. His is a communistic society, with a neat division of labor between the workers (who also fight); the stingless drones; and the busiest of them all, that egg-laying prodigy, the queen. T Arrayed in veil, gloves and smudge pot (and thoroughly scared!), I stood beside an open hive, watching the life of its 45,000 occupants. It was a scene of great industry. The honey gatherers came and went. The thermostatic squads beat their wings at the job of air conditioning and formed squirming masses, body to body, maintaining’ the grubs in a proper state of warmth. The queen | scurried around, laying eggs, and the drones took their ease, awaiting the royal summons to dalliance.

Doesn’t Know When to Stop IT WAS an impressive sight, but also a comic one. There was no shadow of suspicion in that toiling mass of how man was exploiting it. ' Left to himself, the bee stores only enough honey for his needs. On bad days, when he can’t work—or on good days, when he just doesn't want to work— a hive will consume as much as five pounds of honey. But the bee doesn't know when to stop.

Science

QF DIRECT concern to the people of the United States is the well-being of South and Central America. Consequently we must think of their health problems as well as our own. . There is the problem of malaria. In some parts of Bolivia infection runs as high as 15 per cent of the population. Another problem is that of yellow fever, which

§ FILLED! occurs in many sections of South America. Plague is a problem, especially in Ecuador. In Brazil diseases of the digestive system account for nearly 25 per cent of all deaths. Tuberculosis occurs with unusual freentory quency. In that country there are 45,000 persons suf-

fering from leprosy, or 100 lepers per 100,000 popula- . tion. . UNRRA is already working on many of the problems concerning the health of the post-war world. But there is room, of course, for the activities of other agencies, as well as governmental. One cannot mention world health without thinking at once of the magnificent job which the international health division of the Rockefeller Foundation has done over a long period of years in South America, Central America, China and elsewhere.

Trade, Health Related

I THINK it important that we realize that there is a very immediate connection between world trade and world health which will make itself felt in the immediate future. It requires little imagination to see how dependent are these improvements in the health of the world’s

My Day

LONDON, Jan~31—A lady who came to see me the other day said she really was ashamed to meet her friends nowadays, since she always seemed to be begging from them. I think that probably is the case with people in many countries today. Shortages of goods aré so great that, in devastated countries, people who ordinarily would not find it difficult to have things find now that buying almost anything is practically impossible. If that is so for people who have money, one can well imagine what the situation is: for those who rarely had more than their absolute day-by-day needs. They now are going without essentials and barely keeping body and soul together. If I were at home, I would have taken an active part, on my husband's birthday, in the culmination of the annual March of Dimes campaign for funds for the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis. -I hope very much that the research which goes on in the United States as a result of this foundation is made available to every nation,. because this dread disease is contracted throughout the world. There are many organizations in- the United States for which appeals go out daily, asking for, support of charities to benefit conditions in the warravaged countries. One small group sends packages to France. It is called Colis de L'Amitie Americaine aux Enfants de France. They try to put individuals in touch with each other so that, besides material help, there will grow up a kindly interest between individuals,

Letters Express Appreciation HERE IS a quotation from a letter which shows what results are obtained by this particular group. “Dear Mademoiselle: ‘I received safely your, package for my Mlttle boy and don't know how to thank you, for he had nothing left, seeing my husband was a political deportee just back and not well yet. ., . .

IN BRITAIN, to take an example by no means the worst, the population is living on a poor and monotonous diet, one adequate to support life but not an abounding health and energy.
