THEY STILL MAKE LOVE IN OLD FASHIONED WAY And Hearts Beat Now as in Olden Davs, Savs Writer. nY STl'AItT If. CAUKOLL. Miss Ceraldin' Farrar certainly started something when ho pavf to a reporter the following statement: "M'ui' rn young men er women, either on the stag or off, cannot make love because they have not the; souls. Thf-y lack the houIh for lovo makir g lucauHo they have r.ot been trained to soul rerspon.sivenci-s. Comedy, licht farce y s. But the deeper emotion, thry laek. Ive making is more than a mere ma'.ter cf encircling the form of another with one's anus. ' Amnni; the thing that CJeraldlne started was an outburst of denials by Billlo Burke, who is quite suro that her co-star is wrong. Miss Burke says: defines love. "Love la not i mad succession of 'I-lovc-you's, nor -of passionate kisses. It la a gentle tolerance, kindness and deep consideration; a burial of the eternal ego. E'jye embraces commands, jealousies and heartaches. Some of the world's greatest lovers have been the least pretentious." There we have the two sides of the controversy. Hither love making as practiced in the olden days is in for a rennaisance or the art still is the same though outward manifestations of it may have changed. The writer of these lines feels keenly hin utter inexperience in matters pertaining to emotions of the heart. He admits that at one time in his brief but allegedly checkered career he might have made the statement that he knew all there was to know about women. WAS AWFUL LIAR. He admits now in wistful earnestness that he was nn awful liar; and that time, aided to some extent by events, has shrouded his youthful omniscience so that he tells tho world in no uncertain accents that he doesn't know anything at all about the fairer (and sometimes warmer) sex. And so, beginning with the unqualified statement that the writer knows nothing he will write a few hundred words on the subject of love just to prove that he In telling the truth. rAvoits iuleie nuitKE. We that Is, the editorial we are inclined to vote for Billle Burke when she says that love is the burial of tho eternal epo. Certainly when a man has lost his heart, he forgets for a period at least, himself. His mode of living, his thoughts and his actions whether unconsciously or not relegate his personal self far Into the background. Ho thinks and acta as he believes his lady-love would have him think and act. He may not, to quote Miss Burke, indulge In a mad succession of "I-Iove-yous," though tradition has decreed that he should know how to pronounce each of thoso three momentous words. II may not again to quote shower her with passionate kisses, but to our humble notion the elusive kiss should certainly be a major In tho curriculum of love. 3LANT KIXDS OF KISSES. Of course there are many kinds of kisses." But in this article It la believed not wise to try and differentiate, the main reason being, that tho author thereof might place himself in a position from which diplomat that he in he may be unable to extricate himself. Returning to our subject maybe you know what it is. wo don't we also agree with Miss Farrar when she remarks that love making is not a mero encircling the form of another with one's arms. If any reader does not agree with this statement wo shall cite for him (or her) the case of Eddie McGluke, a lad who lost both arms whllo fighting in the Argonne. And we shall leave It to certain mademoiselles who live on Montmarto In Paris to testify whether Eddie was a lover oven if he couldn't encircle their slim waists with his arms. His reputation became so great that it was tho inspiration . for the song: "If he can fight like he can love. God help Germany!" LOVE COMPARED. But perhaps loving a French girl is not the same as low making in our own country. We believe, however, that fundamentally the heart of a maid on the Mouse or Marne is tho same as that of one who trips laughingly down Michigan st. in South Bend, Ind. Only fundamentally, you understand; and we refuse point-blank to discus In the rublic prints our opinion of the girls overseas. When we landed in New York ust one year ago, the first question hurled at us was "And what did you think of the French women?" Tho second question was: "But what did you think of the French women?"

That P. O. Marble, of New Carlisle, wishes to try his skill, science or secret communication with nature, or whatever it K at rainmaking in the inland empire of Spokane, Wash., is proved by a letter received by V. F. Remans, of th agricultural committee, and made public by the Spokane chamber of commerce. The letter In part follows: "I am going to ask you to give me a chance to ihow what I can do if the local rainmaker fails to get the rain. I believe that I am able to get results in one to four days aftr commencing operations. I have often gotten rain In one day when there was no indication of rain and when there had been no rain received for more than a month. "If you do not get the dt sired rain I will do what I can and I believe that you will get the rain within four days after I start work." In conclusion of the letter the writer stipulates, however, that there shall be no penalty if ho does not "dt'iv.r the poods." Charl-a M. Hatfield, a California "rainmaker." has been working under a contract with the Spokane Kphrat.a Commercial club. Bain came and many peop credited it to him, but riot enough came to win the $3.0 00 prize which he was to receive if two inches fell before July 10.

BEE-KEEPING IN COUNTY GETS BOOST FROM STATE BODY

One of St. Joseph county's growing industries received considerable attention last week from the state department of conservation, 'and Tho News-Times reporter who accompanied the expedition learned a great many things that most people don't know. For one thing, he learned that bees aren't at all dangerous if you treat 'em right. And, know all men by these presents, he sure treated them tho best he knew how. But that's merely a side Issue. The fact remains that tho bee-keeping business is growing in this county, nnd has already assumed more than respectable proportions, since it is estimated that some $15.000 worth of honey will be produced in St. Joseph county for tho 1920 crop. Although no census has been taken, it is believed that there are now about 100,000,000 bees engaged In this work in this county alone. Hives aro owned and operated by more than 120 men and women within a very short radius of South Bend. THE BOCAE ORGANIZATION. The St. Joseph County Beekeepers' association, which was organized only last winter, has now 15 members, and the visit of C. O. Yost, chief inspector of apiaries, division of entomology, of the state department of conservation, boosts the interest in this organization to a considerable decree, and by next season it is expected that more than 100 members will be enrolled. Herman Elbel is president of the association, whicn has jis its chief aim the encouragement of bee culture, and cooperation between the members so as to give all the help possible. Besides, membership in the association makes it possible to obtain advice from the state department, which cannot be distributed unless tho beekeepers interested are organized in some way so as to receive it. American foul brood, the chief disease enemy of the bees, as well as all other hindrances to successful bee-keeping, is combatted by the state department. Assistance in re-qucening. and in combining and separating hives, is also given by the experts employed by Indiana. MISTAKEN IDEAS. The average city dweller knows little about bees, save the mistaken idea that it isn't -safe to touch a bee-hive with a ten-foot pole. If he likes honey, the city dweller buys it, without a thought for the way that honey is gathered, or of the hundreds of thousands of bees who worked from early morning until late evening te make It possible for someone to have something else on his bread besides butter or, at present prices, perhaps margarine. The many problems which face the keeper of bees, the interesting social lifo of the tiny insects, the flowers which produce the most honey, the strange way In which the young bees are reared all these have little concern for the average man or woman. It is not the purpose of the writer to go into the Let him follow the trail of wood and field, And linger at eve, by tho camp fire's side. To learn of the life so full and free, Smell the birch log, burning, and dream. These lines written by "a scout" have a message for the man who has bundled a pack and hit the trail, and for the man who has never known the Joy of frying his bacon on a stick, according to Jo Taylor, the "boy scout man." Evidently the "call" found response when sounded In South Bend, for on Monday morning of this week 5 boy s-vouts will leave the city, vio the Inter-City trucks, bound for the boy scout camp at Birch lake, there for two weeks to abandon themselves to the Joy of living in the out of doors, an untried experience for many of them. And on two weeks from that day, Aug. I a second party of the same number will leave, destined for the same place. The joy of pitching camp will be experienced by neither of these groups for Mr. Taylor with his pioneer squad of eight boys has been at the camp site since Monday of last week "preparing the way." This lack sill be amply atoned for, however, by the pleasure und comfort of entering a camp all sp:ck und span, with the aroma of well cooked food scenting the atmosphere. The campers are scheduled to arrive at noon and the "pioneers" have promised a "fted" to be ready upon arrival. CAMP AT imtCII EAKE. The camp, which as yet Is unnamed, is located on the northwest shore of Birch lake, which is five miles cast of Vandalia. Mich., and one and one-half miles north of Williamsvllle. Scout Executive Taylor is in chr rgo and acting as camp director. He has as associate camp directors three scoutmasters who are in charge of different phases of tho work. Mrs. Taylor is to be camp mother and purchasing agent for the kitchen, while two negro men have bc-'-n engaged as lirst and second cooks. A large army range, or rolling kitchen, has been secured and stationed under its own canvas cover rendering it more pleasant for the cooks than the usual, rather hot. plan of placing the stove in a tent. A 14 by 16 shack has been erected for storage purposes, a 16 by 36 wall tent for the dining room, one of tho same size for an assembly tent, army pyramid tents fcr headquarters and camp hospital, and a 12 by 14 wall tent for workshop and tool house. Army bed sacks are to be furnished each boy, thesa to be filled with straw from a near-by farm. Each boy will also be given a navy canvas bed from which he will make a ramp cot. at least six inches from the ground. Each scout furnishes his own dishes and keeps them in his own tent which is of the open-front Baker tent type, four boys to a tent. Bealizing the anxiety to parents attending a boy's outing trip, especially if it be his lirst one. Mr. Taylor hns taken every precaution to render the camp "safe and pound." A medical man will be in attendance, a camp hospital has been equipped should it be needed in the event of Illness, and sanitary conditions have been made the best that can be obtained for a camp of this type: cook shack. latrine and sleeping tents are well screened. A well is to be driven about 100 feet from the lake, at which distance other p. --pie ar getting splendid water. To avoid any risk whatsoever this water will be analyzed before it is used. CAMP ACTIVITIES. While the camp activities will be largely in scout craft, a baseball, football, basketball and volleyball are part of the equipment and will help to occupy idlo time. War canoes have been furnished the camp by tha Kotary and Kiwanls cluts and aro expected to

A barrel raft will bo built by the scouts and equipped with springboards, and if necessary an improvised pier will lie erected. Lest you feel that time will lag for the tcouts, here is a list of the honor badges which those scouts who remain at the camp the full two weeks arc entitled to work for: Volunteer service award, for 100 per cent housekeeping for two weeks and for - uts performing two volunteer services each day: camp lire award for scouts eloing one individual camp lire stunt and taking part in two collective stunts; camp progress or fox heaei award for scouts who score 100 points on tho camp chart in scout craft, camp craft, wood craft, water craft, nature study and athletics; Good Indian award for scouts who receive the vote for this award by the entire camp staff for a period of two weeks. This badge exemplifies unselfishnc.-s, chivalry and manliness. Each award carries with it a symbol which is burned on a leather hat band and awarded at the last campiire of each pericd. The camp progress chart, 100 points on which entitles one to the second or fox head award, is all-embracing in the tasks and tests which it provides.

How Women Get Off Street Cars Patrolmen Say New Cars Make it Impossible to Alight Incorrectly. BY MARY FRANCES JONES.

Women have always been accused of utter disregard of safety regulations, street car regulations in particular, critics say seem odious to women. Who hasn't heard some irate conductor or sweltering traffic cop remark, "Isn't that Just like a woman" as he watches one get off with arms full of bundles and endeavoring frantically to summon a friend on the opposite sidewalk. But those days are past Now Mr. South Bend it's up to you to take a lesson from your wife for she knows how and is far more careful in getting off street cars than you are. You doubt it? Well, watch her tonight when you are stepping off the car to attend the band concert at Howard park. Sorgt. "Big Bill" Hcsinskl, who directs trafile at the city's busiest corners, thinks that the one-ruan cars have greatly Improved woman's method of alighting from street cars, for it Is almost impossible to get off such cars any other way, than correctly. "It's not in their getting off that 1 have trouble." sayi another guardian of the highway, "it's what they do before reaching the sidewalk. I can't tell what they are liable to do when a machine is coming their direction." Statistics show that the greater percent of street car accidents are to men rather than to women. Tha may bo partly accounted for by the fact that thA

the hive, that the male bees, or dones, do no work, and that the worker-bees are undeveloped females. But it is unlikely that most of thoso who read this know that a good queen bee lays from 3.000 to 4,00 or less confused when they have been delivered while 197 bees are sitting on as many different portions of the anatomy ol" the listener. Furthermore, any encyclopedia will give a fairly complete account of tho boe family, including nil of its many cousins, brothers-in-law andn aunts. Hence tho present article will deal only with such items of beo life as are particularly interesting because they appeal to that queer curiosfggs a day, or that any female larva, by proper feeding, can be male into a queen bee. MANY BEES IN HIVE. The average bee-hive, or colony, is made up of some 20,000 to 30,000 bees. Most of these, by far the largest part, are the worker-bees, who make countless trips in a day, each time bringing in a drop of honey about the sizo of a match head. During a season, one colony can produce as high as 200 pounds of honey, and in some cases more than this amount, so it is easy to see that the hackneyed expression, "as busy as a bee" is indeed applicable. The queen bee lays her eggs In the empty cells of the brood-comb, and after three days the worker-bees begin supplying these cells with honey. At the end of five days more the cell is sealed over, and 13 days later tho young bee eats its way through the seal and assumes its duty in the complex social organization in which it finds itself. Strangely enough, the queen bee is capable of laying any sort of egg she desires queen, worker, or drone. Tho queen beo larva aro fed especially, and tho cell is much larger than those accorded the less royal members of the family, as one of the photographs which accompany this article shows. When tho young queen and her brothers and fisters are sufficiently developed, the queen leads her subjects out of the hive, and then follows what is known as a "swarm." The young bees seek a new residence, but, in the case of domesticated bees, are usually caught without much difficuluty and introduced to a new hive. This is done by placing the queen in the new hive, and dumping the others on the ground in front of it, whence every one of them marches In and takes possession of the new hive. During the honey-flow, which lasts practically all summer, extra storage space for honey is provided by the bee-keeper, who employs what are known as "supers," or comb-holders which are super-imposed above the brood chambers. These are removed as rapidly as they aro filled, and empty ones substituted.

To win the nature study award one must observe nnd identify 25 birds; point out 15 trees; point out three constellations; identify poison ivy; pick, press, and name 25 flowers and photograph birds or animals. MANY PHIZES OFFERED. A suitable priz-i will be given for taking first, second and third place in the number of points earned on the camp pro-press chart. And in addition to all this the scouts will take caro of their own tentu and police tho grounds daily. Two (CONTINUED ON PAGE NINE.) street cars are used daily by a proportionately larger number of men, and partly to the fact that women are learning to be more careful. Another telling feature is the influence of the fashions upon the alighting method. In 1317 when short billowy skirts were the vogue there were fewer surface car accidents than the year when long tight skirts were in style. This fact will doubtlessly be interpreted differently, according to the personal opinion of the prevailing mode. Two factors which play prominent roles in this getting off car aet are destination and disposition, these two are lntrical'y connected and mutually dependent. A woman is much more apt to watch her step when she is on a shopping expedition in search of a choice millinery morsel than she is when the gas office cr city water works department is her destination. It would not, however, necessarily follow that we advocate static ns for free millinery (ju?t as there are free air stations for motorists) as an inducement to the feminine population to watch their step. Though some enterprising young office seeker might find himself electud if he did have such a plank la his platform. There is an old adage that variety is the spice of life, and though Mrs. South Bend is cautious, she likes a little of the spice of life sprinkled la even so humdrum an act as getting off of ird cars.
