He says there is no warrant of law for his detention.

Failing to get Congress to act, she appealed to the great com- . monwealth of Virginia, where again she failed. “As a last resort she appealed to the patriotism of the women of the United States. and then, and not until then, did the rays of hope begin to shine out, and after heartbreaking trials, which seemed endless, she lived to —_— L3 SCARCITY OF BLOSSOMS FELT BY DISTRICT BEES Effects of Late Spring Result in Lean Honey Year Here. ‘Washington’s bee population, after producing a ton of honey, approxi- mately, in 1920, has had an extremely lean year during the present season, on account of the late spring and the failure of blossoms. And Washington is the greatest bee city in the United States, on account of the great num- ber of parks, trees, flowers und plants which produce the nectar and pollen essential for honey. This statement was made today by ‘Richard F. Green, bee expert, mission- ary, evangelist and vice president of the Samaritan Army, Inc.. who takes issue with the census bureau. which reported that there were only nine. teen hives in the city during 1920. Personally, he declared, he knew of more than 100 hives, and through friends in the bee industry he esti- mated there were approximately 400 hives in the city today. Although census figures said that 315 poundg of honey were produced by bees here in 1919, Mr. Green declared that a_year later, in 1920, at least a ton of honey was produced in the city. He cited the case of Lem Carter of 336 M street southwest. whose bees pro- duced about 850 pounds of extracted honey and more than 100 pounds of fine beeswax. Mr. Carter himself, according to Mr. Green, has twenty hives, while there is-a man in the northwest section who has thirty-four. The latter's little stinging workers produced 900 sec- tions of comb honey during the 1920 season. Honey is not the only thing bees are good for, he says. They're better than doctors for rheumatism. When the little stinger inserts itself into the flesh, a bit of poison is squirted into the blood. Since it takes poison to fight poison, the bee poison starts a battle with the rheumatic poison and generally comes out the victor. And that’'s not all. After a person is stung a few dozen times, he begins not to mind stings at all, and rather to like it. Sufficient stinging makes a man immune to rheumatism and clarifies his blood, according to Mr. Green. But regarding this lean year—the ‘bees could not find pollen or nectar juice, and, as a result, there will not ‘be so much honey or beeswax in the District. The bees are really having @ hard time to find enough to subsist on, let alone working to create food for new residents of the hives.

Finally Congress did pay the grand sum of $7,000 to the associa- tion."™ The_ letter concludes by pointing out that Mount Vernon cannot be disposed of, “no matter how willing Congress may be.” It says that the common- wealth of Virginia has granted a per- petual title to the ladies’ association, which contains a clause stipulating that only in the event of the association ceas- ing to exist can the property revert to the state.

Fieldston Senior and Junior Schools to Open Here October 4. Organization of Fieldston College, a new Washington institution of higher learning for women, has been completed, and it will open October 4 for its first year, it was announced last night by the officials. The institution will com- prise two separate schools, to be known as the junior and senior colleges, each with its own faculty and equipment. ‘The junior college will have its tempe Tary quarters in the building at 14th and Monroe streets, known as the Stratford Hotel. The location of the senior col- lege was not announced, but it is under- stood that it will be in the heart of the downtown district. The junior college will be devoted largely to studies in the liberal arts. The senior college will be devoted pri cipally to studies related to professional and technical pursuits. Students at the institution, it was said, “will have in- stead of a major subject a major ob- ject,” and it will be the duty of the leges to see to it that studles directly bearing on this objective shall be se- lected. Fieldston College is an incorporated body, owning its own buildings, which are regarded as temporary. Plans are now being drawn for the erection of permanent and more .adequate struc- tures in the future. Enroliment of the college will be restricted for the initial year.
