Aug. 4.?Ever rence a bee census was ordered in Goshen, X. Y.. metropolis of the buzzing honey makers, tender hearted persons have been shuddering at the thought of the danger assessors might undergo in plucking each bee from its workroom or don and counting it. Rut they might as well stop worrying, for VV. E. Thorndyke, who knows hoes from stem to dreaded stern, said today that all the census takers would have to do is count the hives. "Even if they did have to r.umoer each bee. it wouldn't be so bad." he said. "Some men could count them one by one and never have to use a i, r\c - i ^ nuian.

Girls with perfume and men who use hair oil, smelly pomades or scented talcum better get out of the way , whenever they see a bee coming, Mr. Thorndyke says. He has a theory that the little honey-makers just naturally dislike certain odors. When a bee likes an odor it noses hight in to gather raw material for its manufacturing plant. but it turns its back ( on disagreeable smells.

Shepherd, of Columbia Un vorsitj %'ew York, in a recent lecture at the University of Berlin. Dr. Shepherd | irged greater appreciation of the im-| portance of I.at in- American nations in the counsels of world powers, dis. uss.ng the subject "The Republics of Spanish and Portuguese America and iaeir International Relations." The lecture was the first formal event of its kind since 1914. It was attended by a distinguished company of some lot) persons, including the American and Japanese ambassadors; representatives of the South American diplomatic and consular offices; members of the government, and a number of noted professors of the university. The latter comprised nn imposing list of famous educators who have appeared in American university lecture rooms, such as Professors Friedlnnder, Bonn, Brandl, Penck, Vogi'l, Spranger, Sternfeld, Brinkm.ann, Sering, llegmann and Koeb oner. Professor Shepherd was given a hearty reception when introduced by Dr. Walter Nernst, Rector Magnificus of the university. Dr. Shepherd roughly outlined the historical development of the Latin-American nationruin the close of the 18th century when there existed '"the greatest colonial enipire ever struck off by the hand of man, the Empire of Spain.' Decades upon decades, he said, the countries to the south of the United States have boon neglected by Euronpean immigration and European capital, two factors which he deemed fundamentally vital to the progress ol New World lands. These two elements have been required by the United States to brinji ;t to its present flourishing condition Dr. Shepherd said, adding that when they had been < btaincd by the nations to the south the future of those lands vvov.ld be assured. The speaker urged greater cor.sidoration for th? status of the L; in Ameiicati states in wot Id'politics. H, expressed the belief that "the quan. titative method of determining actual world is just as unfair when applied 10 nations as to individuals." Professor Shepherd delivered a seeend lecture the same day before tin English Seminar, speaking on the eonneetion of Europe with modern tivligation. During a week's visit in Deri n he was the guvst of honor at a umber of social functions. Rain and Sun Producing Bountiful Crops in Russia Moscow, Aug. 3.?Mother Nature appears to be trying to make up to Russia for what she did tc her.last year. Accurate estimates of the grain crop of 1922 still are lacking, but f i nni nnovUr A - uviu IJ ;?V4 %v |/1UVUICC It'puri'j four in to Moscow that not in man;years have such growing crops been ccen. , When rains wore needed, they came 1 his spring- in a profusion that made up for last year's drouth. When sunshine was necessary it was on hand Unless some unprecedented weather condition develops between now and time of the harvest, practically every bushel of seed that was planted last tutu it u. and 'his spring seems sure to bear fruit. Rye fields higher than a man's head the ears fairly drooping with kernel , are waving and browning throughout the Volga and cennal Russia, while the wheat if? coming up in good shape in Siberia and the Ukraine. T'otatocs and other vegetables are flourishing Cattle which looked like SKoletons in the winter are fattening on rich gr^er pasture land. In some localities stricken last year by the drouth an unusual phenomenon has b^en noticed. Grain sowed in the spring of 1021, which failed to sprout at all last summer has come up thi?year to swell th<* small sowings which wore available in the spring of 1022. In other places, where the grain was so short and undeveloped last autumn as to be unworthy of harvesting, these dwarf plants dropped (heir seed and this, too, lias esproutod under the rains and sunshine. Generally speaking the ground eems to have pained strength during Lhe famine year, and the rich nitrate? .vhich a big 1921 crop would have exhausted were left in the soil to fatten he kernels and strengthen the stalk>f this suniniei's grain. The? areas sown this year perhap.U'i? i< than .a ;t in many provinces nit the crop itself is so pood that tin eld expected to b,. more than three nd a half billion poods of grain for .II Russia, a billion more than last ,aar. (A poo.I is 'W pounds). If the surplus of fruitful region ran bo transported to the cities and he non-produetive localities, and if he peasants do not hoard it, Russian flficials express the conviction that amine will be practically dead and hat after October full stomachs wili ucceod hunger for most of Russia' copulation.

Columbia police were advised yesterday of the theft of 120,000 Chesterfield cigarettes valued at approximately $300. First arrivals at the depot yesterday morning noticed that robbtrs had torn up a section of the floor j.ad an investigation showed that 12 ^ases containing 10,000 cigarettes in sach case nau disappeared.

American Goods Flood the "Thieves Markets" of Europe Riga, Aug. 3.?The so-called "thieves markets" of Europe arc today crowded with the product of Am erican factories. When the Ameri ; can army went home, enormou* I stocks of equipment of various 'kinds . were disposed of in France and Ger. many, by sale and otherwise, and , much of this surplus has four.d its . way to the many open air gatherings . of iho continent where men and wo> men bargain for a miscellaneous mass . of articles under the tacit underI standing that one must not inquire . whence the things come. In the market of Riga, covering an j area of two blocks, there are offered r for sale daily large quantities of United States army paraphernalia, . particularly clothing, and sanitary :%r: tides bearing the names of different American relief organizations. Ami erican phonographs give daily con |?iTis ui ^murican airs, wnicn ;i \a:jriably attract the crowds from the rr.umc of c irnpotitorr with tho'r Oev. ir.an''tr.nchinr.fi playing I'usrian tunes .A rci'-an sewing mnchmcf, to-., are ?.n sale in some stalls, and in others . there arc American made knives and I forks vicing with German, Polish and I Russian manufactured goods of the same kind. Also there are thousands . of old and worn collars, still carrying the mark which gives their birthplace as Troy, New York. The purchaser takes his pick at his i own price, provided he can reach an understanding with the polyglot storekeeper, who will bargain with him in any one ofr the four or five languages now current in the streets cf Riga. Another Nobleman Feels The Pinch of Hard Times London, Aug. 4.?The Duke of , Northumberland is hard up, as are many other members of the old nobility in these days of excessive taxation, and is compelled to retrench like many untitled folk in order to make both ends meet. lie has sold many of his northern properties, including several large hot Is. To a wealthy Paris art dealer | iit, recently rented nis magnificent mansion on the Thames, near Kew. It is one of the biggest residences? in the country. And still the Duke feels the necessity of cutting down expenses. He has decided to close Alnwick Castle, which has b<-en the Northumberland home of the Percys sim-e early in the 14tr. century. lie will retain only n few rooms in t.he castle for use when he and the Duchess are in the north. The rest of the place will bo shut up. The shooting on the estate is to be let. Rome Considering Drastic Measures to Curb Speeding Motorcars Rome, Aug. 4.?Confronted with the difficulty of controlling speeding automobiles within the city limits, Rome is considering a device which will prevent the car to which it is attached from travelling over ten miles an hour. The more the driver "steps on it," the slower the car will run. This automatic speed regulator is the invention of Ernesto Fragano and Ettore Villa. An indicator is set at the number of miles an hour desired as the maximum speed. An application of centrifugal force interrupts the working of the motors if the driver attempts to go beyond the limit. In P.ome the narrow streets in the older quarters of the city; the numerous hills, and the inequalities in the pavements of many streets make fast driving particularly dangerous. Drivers are prone to disregard existing ^peed regularities, so the city authorities nre giving thought to making obligatory the use ot this automatic speed regulator.

Wormld's Future None too Secure Warps English Writer London, Aug. 3 ?Sir Rider Haggard is of the opinion that Western civilization is by no means so secure us many Westerners believe. "We have an idea that the West is going on forever," he said, lecturing before the Norwich Rotary Club, "but can we be quite sure of that? Those who have studied and know the East; its enormous powers of reproduction; its simple habits-of life on the land, and its system of moralities which make every woman think it her duty to have children, know that it contains an enormous potential power which must one day break out. "Whether it ;can be curbed I do not know, but I have grave doubts. I shall never .forget my friend, Theodore Roosevelt saying when talking of Japan, 'Look out for your Australia; it will bo .the first place to go.' "If or.ee Japai secures the control of Ch; the outlo-ik for the Western World will be very cloudy." The speaker suid he thought our existing civilizations in the and prob-' ably would go the way of other civilizations that had preceded it. "Who would have thought a dozen years ago," he asked, . "that there would be such horrors in the world as we have recently seen in Russia.

Chinese Students Financially London, Ahgt'-Sh^-TKe Washington government for 14 years has been expending its share of the Boxer *n demnities from-China for the benefit and support ot Chinese students in the United States. Japan has now come forward with a similai proposal, and Great Britain may follow suit. A departmental committee, of which Sir. JohncJordan, former British minister at Peking, is chairman, is considering the idea of Great Britain foregoing hef indemnity installment, due this year, provided China expend it for educational purposes i at home. The government is thought to be favorably inclined. Japan also has said she was prepared to forego her share of the Chinese money under the same stipulation. There.is no question of foregonig the right to th^ Boxer indemnity, either by Japan hr Great Britain, and the present proposals materialize the two governments would see that the money is actually used by the Chinese authorities for the stipulated educational purposes. The Boxer indemnities were exacted in 1901 by.' the powers for the attacks in China tin 1899 and 1900 upon foreigners, and native Christians. A total of 11 countries, ineluding Great Brithin, the United States, France, Italy, Russia and Japan, receive yeatly allotments. The extinction date of the indebtedness is 1945. . - t, Japanese Prefer To go to Germany I Tokio, Aug. 4.^-Enquiry on behalf of the Rockefeller .Foundation as to the possibility o& arranging an interchange of American and Japanese medical students lws elicited the reply that Japanese-students much prefer to go to Germany for the?i postgraduate courses.,. There are two leasons given for thi?, the first that most of the Japanese doctors have had German or Austrian graining and secondly, that owing to ?he.

Tho students claim thj^, in Germany they 1 can save half their-allowance so that at the end of the three years' course they come home with 6,000 yen. On the other hand reports have been 1 made to the government that some of the student* in Germany find themselves with so much. money in? their hands when they exchange their yens I for marks that they have acquired ex. i travagant habits ai>d charges of 'riot- i oua living' have, been made against t them by some of the Japanese news- I papers. 1 J! i .

One London blMifiess house still contains the s?n).q^)ttyres that were placed there in lflWT < Mrs. Bessie Rogers Drake It seems p^tural that since women' have th,e right to vqte, that they should ask for a abjure luthe government. There was unoe a time, and it' is not so far in the past, when the' only profession open to women was!) that of teaching. But recently wo-i men have demonstrated their ability j to hold down all kinds of johs, and tho world is beginning to acknowledge their skill, . judgment and efficiency along lines of work ttut have hitherto been open to men only. The department of education, continues to offer the most inviting field for women. Since the great body of teachers in So.uth Carolina is made up mostly of women, it is proper and fair that a woman should be at their head as state superintendent of education. Th,ere are, doubtless, many women in the state who could fill the position worthily but we know of no one better fitted than Mrs. Bessie Rogers Drake. An honor graduate of Winthrop College, she taught for a number of years in her native county and in Chester. Mrs. Drake comes from a* family that has always stood for educational progress, and she herself has taken an active interest in education, and all farms of social and civic improvement, both before and since her marriage. There are 7,000 Winthrop Daughters who are solidly behind Mrs. Drake in her candidacy for state superintendent of education. This is partly due to pride in one's alma mater that prompts felow students to stand by one of their number who is worthy of their support. But there arc many persons, both men and women who have been favorably impressed with Mrs. Drake, as she has gone from town during the campaign. Her personality is charming, and she has a clear cut way of speaking and altogether her manner and her liberal views have won for her many admirers among both sexes. In this election, the first in South Carolina in which women are candidates for public office, there is no question of men and women beihg arrayed against each other. Men will vote for women and women will vote for men. But there are more women in the state than there are men, and if all the women vote for a woman candidate we will have a woman state superintendent of education which is "a consummation devoutly to be wished."

Hamburg Merchants Seek To Revive German Trade Hamburg, Aug. 3.?Preparations for Hamburg's "Overseas Week," August 17 to 27 are rapidly going forward under a board of management comprising men whose activities are known throughout the wgtrlfl. The board includes such well-known persons as Wilhelm Cuno, managing director of the Hamburg American line; former Foreign Minister Wa!ther Simons, and Max Warburg, international financier. "Overseas Week" will constitute an international economic congress devoted to a study of the reconstruction of Europe. Commercial representatives are expected from many parts of the world, as well as leaders in finance, shipping and transportation, industrial and technical trades, applied arts, medical science and hygiene, science and art. Opportunity will be given to inspect dsplays of goods and to attend discussions of vital questions. Particular attention will be given to the moans of re-establishing business connections . destroyed b the war, and to steps for removing obstructions to international commerce. An organization with these purposes in view was founded here recently by prominent economic leaders of the city under the name of the "Overseas Club." Speakers at thj organization meeting emphasized the necessity of more freedom in international trade; called attention to the alleged hindrances imposed by the Treaty of Versaillles, and urged the importance of a large international loan for Germany. Modern Plays to be Staged In Ancient Roman Ruin Florence, Italy, Aug. 3.?The old Roman theater at Fiesole will this autumn, if present plans are carried out. be used again for the purpose it was originally so well constructed many centuries ago.

Je Weevil Infestation Irregular ( Weather Conditions Favorable to Weevil Development ?? Continualinn rlf Pnntrnl ManfliirPtt l Advised. Clemson College, July 31.?"Thej most striking feature ift the boll wee-1 vU situation is the irregularity of the i pifibunt of infestation, not only In the' various counties but on individual farms and even on single fields," said JPjoo^. A. F. Conradi, entomologist, at the weekly boll weevil Conference here today, after hearing rfepdrts from the field specialists who were present for the conference and from the county agents over the state. j At the close of the conference the following statement was given out: j The weather during the past week,] while hot, was moist and generally favorable to weevil development. It should be explained that hot and dry weather is the weevil's worst enemy, but with the exception of a few localities we have had no such weather during the past week. Showers have been 1 frequent and the atmosphere moist, . which offset the benefits that would have been derived otherwise from hot weather. The percentage of squares infested varies, as shown by the reports, from a small percent to GO or 70 percent. This condition frequently is very mis. ieading to farmers who arc giving the credit of low infestation to one or other of the control measures they are attempting, when as a matter of fact the infestation was not there to begin with. We know this to be the case, because there have been accumulated over a period of years a series of most elaborate data in experimental work showing what results may be expected from one or the other of these various control feasures under* ~ the best conditions. Square collecting when done thoroughly on the plant and on the ground is still advised throughout the Piedmont section, and in other sections and areas where light square infestation occurs. Frequent shallow cultivation should be continued so long as cotton does | _ not sufficiently overlap for this to bej injurious. It is very necessary that the labor | siuation be controlled during August, for the yurpose of square collecting' and cultivation. Failure to have labor available may mean much loss. Fruiting over the state generally is very good. But it frequently happens that individual fanners havp a small crop of fruit set at this time, a condition which would hardly be due to natural conditions but probably to poor soil and poor seed. It must be kept in mind that good soil and good seed are two things most necessary before one may expect profit from any operation for boll weevil control. Frequently we are asked to advise whether dusting should be undertaken where square infestation has reached upwards of 60 per cent. This depends on: 1.^Whether the farmer is Dreoared to dust immediately. If so, then wel advise him to dust, but there is no time left now to secure dusting machinery and poison, knowing that weevil dispersion is about to begin, I 2.
