SIOUX CITY, Iowa, March 24.— (By The Associated Press.) — Flood danger as a result of ice gorges in the Missouri river is believed to be at its helght tocay.

Aleardy water held back by a mon- ster ice pack, 11 miles in length ex- tending between the Floyd monument near Sioux City, and several miles soutfy of Sergeant Bluffs, has inun- dated several islands in the river and overfloweé onto the ldwlands of the surrounding valley. ‘The Floyd river is out of its banks et several places in Sloux City due to water which has backed up from the Missouri, but has not done great damage. A report from Omaha that 1,000 hogs and 50 head of cattle had been drowned on an inundated strip af land In the Missouri river between Homer and Dakota City, Neb. was denied by tho fire chief at Homer. He stated that a small ice gorge in Omaha creek had been dynamited late Frifay night although there was no need for it, and that Homer was not threatened. ‘The postmaster at Vermilion stated that river conditions there are the same as they usually are in this sea- son of the year and that there was nothing to be feared.

CHICAGO, March %4.—With no aggressive buying in evidence, wheat showed a tendency to droop in price} today during the early dealings. For the most part, demand was confined to pit speculators. What purchasing 2 for this class of traders appeared to be bascd chiefly on re- ports of alternate thawing and freez- ing of the soil in sections of the win. ter crop belt. Opening prices, which varied from unchanged figures to %e lower, with May $1.20% to $1.20% and July $1.15% to $1.15%4, were fol- lowed by a slight setback all around. Corn and oats were relatively firm owing in some degree to word that exporters were after conto be shipped by way of the Gulf of Mexice. After opening unchanged to %c off, May 73%c to 73%c, the corn market scored slight general gains. Oats started a shade to 4@%e higher, May 44%c. Later all de- livertes showed a little advance. Provisions eased down in line with the hog market. Property valued at thousands of dol- lars, Attempts will be made to dyna- mite the gorge at Vermilion today Un- less the jam is broken a repetition of the flood of 1881 in that section feared. Charges of dynamite were exploded but failed to burst the gorge near On. awa. Honeybees Lazy At Times, Say Experts WASHINGTOD March To speak of boneybaet loating may seem parafiiical, but the alleged in- dustry of honeybees {s something of a myth, declares H. F. Phill'ps, de- partment of agriculture apiculturist. “The average worker bee in the hands of a poor beekeeper makes only a few trips a day for nectar,” mud Mr. Phill’¥s recently. “When the bees are rearing a brood the bee keeper must manage the hive so fin- ished work {s either removed or properly placed, Otherwise loafing will result. Finished work near the brood slows down f'eld(work. Proper conditions within the hive causes the bees to make additional trips to the fields. and thus to increase the honey crop.” Upwanis of 1,000,000 peopie in the United States. keep bees, it ts est! mate®, and bee colonies number about 8,000,000. In spring these co!- onles average about 15,000 bees each and after broodrearing they number 7000 or more worker bees. Honey production adds about $50,000,000 an- nually to the wealth of the nation and provides a valuable addition to the diet of tho people. The {dea that bees work for noth- ing and board themselves in quite erroneous, according ty Mr. Phillips. During the main honeyflow the ef: fictent beekeeper must be on the job daily and hourly, as highly skill ful work is required of him. The modern beekeeper finds bees more productive than Cid his predecessor, yet he earns al! he gets, Mr. Phillips believes, and in these days of low honey prices he earns more than he actually receives. ae es Silver NEW YORK, March 24,—Foreign bar silver, 68; Mexican dollars, 6..

Although at the beginning of the week, a sudden cold wave led to fears of crop damage and lifted the wheat market to the highest prices reached tn more than a month the bulls soon lost their advantage, houses with western connections selling freely on opinions that no injury of com: sequence had been done.

Orders on unload wheat afloat here and also to unload rye on board ves- sels here counted further to make numerous holders uneasy, and con siderable liquidation in the wheat en- sued, an impression being created that no dearth of breadstuffs would be witnessed in Chicago during May. Indications of enlarged domestic trade in flour acted, however, as a stecdying influence on the market. Corn and oats followed the action of the wheat market an !n addition the feed grains were depressed by a substantial enlargement of the visible supply of corn.

One system of thoroughfares will be restricted to Ught, rapid-moving vehicles and another’ to heavy slow: moving «mes. The wdith of the streets will be adjusted to the types and volume of traffic they will be called upon to bear, and pavements of all streets will be especially de: signed to accommodate the kind of traffic that will use them. An ingenious color scheme has been proposed which will compel traf. fic ty use the proper streets. By this scheme anyone at any time can tel! instantly whether a vohicle is on the Proper street, and. if not, can re port the violation of the ordinance to the proper c'ty authority. The idea ts that all trucks of similar capac'ty all bear easily distinguishable g'gns of the same kind. For instance all vehicles of five tons capacity would bear a red plate or sign. The streets oves which such a truck could pass would be marked by signs bear ‘ng the same color. All concerns using vehicles of any description would be marked by signs bearing the same color. All concerns usin# vehicles of any description would be furnished with a city map showing by similar oolors the classification of every thoruughfare tn the city, and the allowable weight of loads on the ifferent clases of pavements. The cost of installing street signs and of maintining an adequate force to compel compliance with such reg- ulatory measures until the system becomes self-operative, would be but @ small fraction of the annual sum naw alleged to be wasted by the destruction of pavements long before they should have outlived thelr uso fulness, according to the plan. Light traffic streets would be paved with less expensive pavement than now demanded to bear their traffic, an¢ often the width of the pavement cotild be decreased, result- ing in still more saving to the tax- payer and the city in general. At the sme time the commission belleves, the traffic and other needs of the clty and its peaple could bo much better served than ts possible at present.
