uug m m New York, Aug. 20.—It will come as a sad, sad shock to most women to learn that the one quality which they have been sure they possessed to a greater degree than any mere man is actually the one quality in Which mere man most demonstrably •xcels. Mein have more tact than have women. The authority lor this statement Is, strangely enough, a woman— Marjorie M. Malsbury, who contrib utes an article supporting her con tention to the September issue or “Plain Talk.” Miss Malsbury has worked exclusively with women and exclusively with men. Always, she found, women are the ones who tread the hardest on toes. Thougn her sex considers her a traitor, she feels it her duty to reveal this start ling discovery and to explode the heary theory that the fair sex. what ever its faults, has an abundance of tact. consider me men ana -women today meeting life on equal basis co-workers in business, the arts and the professions,” suggests the ‘‘Plain Talk" writer. "Are the women no ticeably possessed of greater tact than their masculine colleagues? They are not. They are possessed of less—sometimes quite a lot less. Why aren’t there more women diplomats? Tact is a first requisite there. Women may know how to make in dividual man feel nice, even benevo lent, especially when they want something of him. They have had generations of practice at that, to say nothing of Instinct. But the Intelligent employer doesn’t batik heavily as a rule on the tact of his women employees. In fact, he does n't dream, of trusting a woman a job requiring special tact. Employers toast time-fallowed virtues of wom anhood on "appropriate occasions, but take care to have a man with the taetful fariety of intelligence and a deep, soothing voice handy when the star client's feelings get bristly or other delicate situations bob up. Even the department store folks, whose chief duty Is to calm irate customers, are men.” Miss Malsbury points out that most husbands have learned from painful experience that their partic ular womenfolk are sadly deficient in tact. They only fail to realize, •he saya. that their womenfolk are not isolated exceptions but quite according to Hoyle. “Tact,” continues Miss Malsbury to “Plain Talks,” “is a man's spec ialty—along with watch repairing, the finest cokery and other of the more delicate operations.” The rea son, she feels, is that men are far more sensitive than women. “Inva riably, I have found the men quicker to get their feelings stepped on, likewise more mniMM your sensitive spots, rtrtmr*n#!W8 not to step on your pet prejudices, more conscious of what la due everyone’3 dignity. In short, both are more tactful and more in need of being treated with tact.** . . ’ All this, Mies Malsbury fears,.will come as a considerable blow to jhost women. If there is one thing they pride themselves on more than an other It is their tact. "Tell a woman she is cruel, ruthless, vengeful, a vampire, a'gold-digger, even a fem inine Don Juan, and she will prob ably manage to forgive you in time. Or even thank you on the spot. But just Intimate that she hasn’t tact and the chances are she will find tome way of getting even with you *r spend the rest of her life think ing up how.” - . - .i--1 hhli-J-jui. „jl Bogey Man in Eastern Football Here's “T.

(luternatlooU Nawcreal) I .T-M-' — JU." .V, ' .-.=., , ■ States Produces Two Million Dollars Worth Money In Year Tulip, Clover, Sourwood And Asters Furnish The Principal Source Of Nectar For Bee Travelling all over both Carolinas. cjne seldom sees any more an old fashioned bee hive, made from a part of a hollow log. There are two reasons for this: Firs^, the apiaries, that is, the yards where the bees are kept, are usually located back from civilization in the wilds and woods; aecond, owing to the splendid work of C. L. Sams, bee specialist of the State college at Raleigh, with the help of the coun | ty farm demonstrators, the old fashioned bee-hive or log "gum” is rapidly going out of existence in favor of the modern bee-hive, a t rectangular two story affair, more adapted to commercial honey pro i duction. The log gum is not profit able from the standpoint of surplus honey, for the little honey that can 1 be produced in it has to be dug out | with a spade entirely unfit for the ' table and uninviting In every way. In the modes® hive the honey is produced in the upper part—clean, pure, and appetizing. A colony of bees consists of a queen bee. a few hundred drones 1 and from twenty-five to fifty j thousand workers. The queen is the j only perfectly developed female in ! the hive. The drones are the male bees. They do not gather honey for they have no tongues suitable for the work, and they cannot sting. The workerbees are undeveloped females. They rule the colony, build the comb, gather the honey and elevate and seal it in the celts. Is a Big Industry There are about 190.000 such col onies of bees in North Carolina alone. These bees annually produce more than 160 car loads of honey, worth $2,000,000, most of which is consumed right in the state. There are 100 counties in the state, 18 of which are mountainous. Bee-keeping is carried on in every county from the swamps and low lands in the east to the mountain regions around Asheville and clear on to the extreme west. The chief honey producing plants of the coastal plain are the gall berry, huckleberry, holly and gum. In the Piedmont region the tulip poplar, clover, sourwood and asters predominate. In the mountain re gion, the tulip-poplar, clover, sour wood, basswood and aster furnish most of the honey. It is possible to distinguish between the different flavors and colors just as it is pos sible to distinguish between the dif ferent varieties of apples or peaches. Sold In Three Forms Honey is sold in three forms (1) in the comb which the bees mage More Power at^rt* it • 9jj^^rWuuu g^^^r (UoliM.’ How mnch for tirrjT When did your battery latthaoo water?

With other well-known oils, the number of revolutions per minute had dropped fifty per cent at the end of the fifty hour*. With “Standard** Motor Oil not only was the initial speed five per cent greater, hut this speed was maintained throughout the test. Since this test was at idling speeds* the motorist Can appreciate that it indicates less friction and motor i wear in starting — leas wear in ' continuous operation • in the small square boxes (2) In the comb which the bees make in larger frames from which it is cut in strips and packed in glass Jars or cans, (3) in the liquid form. This is just as pure as that in the comb. The cappings are sliced off and the comb whirled in a machine similar to a cream separator. The honey flies out to the side of the machine leaving the comb empty and ready to be filled again by the bees. Because the bees do not have to build their comb over again each time, the liquid honey is usually somewhat less expensive than the honey sold in the comb. There is no such thing as artificial or manu factured comb honey. This is a pure product and always genuine. It cannot be made by machinery. It never has been and never will be. The principal magazine an bee keeping, Gleanings in Bee Culture, will pay one thousand dollars for a single sample of comb honey that looks like the genuine but that is made artificially. Hen’s eggs and, strawberries cannot be made by ma chinery—neither can comb honey. Honey Is Always Pure Even the liquid honey, since the passage of the pure food law, is al most universally pure. There have been only one or two Instances of adulteration of honey in the whole United States during the last twenty years. Most honeys will granulate or crystallze in time. This is not an indication of adulteration for it is natural for honey to assume the solid form. Honey is a pure product. It is nature’s only sweet incite orig inal form, unaltered’ by man. Honey is the safest sweet known. It does not tax the digestive organs as proven by the fact that it can be fed to young infants with safety. It is just as suitable for babies as sugar or milk. In Europe today, honey is widely recommended for children and even young infants. It does not ferment in the stomach and never causes bloating as other sugars frequently do. Honey is Heaiuuui The per capital consumption of cane sugar in the United States to day is about 117 pounds per year* It would be vastly better for every one If a larger part of the sugar consumed could be replaced by the safer sweets such as the sugars found in ripe fruits and in honey. The disease known as diabetes is killing more people than automobiles are killing. High living, over-eating and over consumption of cane sugar are responsible. Honey is a partially digested sweet, and since it is not a tax on the digestive organs, it does not cause diabetes. Specialists who have made a study of honey and its effects on the human sys tem usually permit diabetic patients to have moderate quantities of honey. Honey In a concentrated form of sweet. Maple syrup ordinarily weighs 11 pounds to the gallon. Honey weighs 12 pounds to the gal lon. Owing to its greater concentra tion, and also to the fact that it has a rich aromatic flavor, a smaller quantity satisfies. For example, honey is just about twice as sweet as the so-called corn syrups. Since a smaller quantity satisfies, honey is therefore not as fattening as most other sugars. Some Uses As Medicine Upn£y is the safest heart stimu lant known. When you are ex hausted, a tablespoonful of honey taken with a cup of hot water re lieves exhaustion almost immediate ly, and there are no bad after ef fects—no reaction of any kind. Honey has long been used as a safe remedy for colds. A hot honey lemonade is almost a sure cure for a cold if taken in the early stages. Honey and butter mixed, especially if a little lemon Juice Is added makes a splendid remedy for coughs, and there is nothing ^armful about such a remedy—nothing there to upset the stomach as so many so called cough syrups do. Speaking of honey and butter mixed, this makes the finest spread for children. It spreads easier than the butter alone, costs less and chil dren universally prefer it. Just mix the honey and butter in any pro portion and watch the kiddies go after it. It makes a better balanc ed ration besides, than the butter and bread alone. Milk sweetened with honey is a splendid drink for growing children. The honey supplies the energy pro ducing elements that the milk alone lacks. Moreover, children will drink more milk if honey is added and at the same time will not have such a craving for cane sugar and candy that most children have. It is na tural for all children to love sweets. Supply that sweet by giving them honey, nature’s most healthful i sweet. Is Body Builder Besides being a pure sugar re 1 sembling the sugar of ripe fruits, honey contains valuable body build ing minerals—iron, sulphur, etc. Many of our foods have been de vitalized ‘today by the elimination in manufacturing processes of the valuable minerals. Honey helps sup ply these minerals which we now lack through the eating of so much w'hite flour and refined sugar. The business of producing honey i is rapidly becoming an important commercial business in which both men and women participate.

But do not forget to eat honey, natures safest sweet. Freak Eggs Into Smith’s Gift List Albany, N. V.—Eggs and poetry, horned toads and cigars figure in the donations that make the home life of Governor Smith one of dis turbing diversity. As a Democratic presidential nom inee. the governor is the recipient of dally offerings in the way of .gifts for his well being and his good luck. Every day brings its collection of gifts from well meaning unknowns all over the country, and Mrs. Smith is daily rearranging the ex ecutive mansion to find proper places for the additions. A freak egg from Alabama was among the first offerings to th« nominee after his selection at Houston. At the end of the egg the coloring matter had formed a per fect “A.” A short time later came another egg from one of the south ern States bearing the letter "E,” In j natural formation. Horned toads from Texas and turtles from all states that raise them bid fair to make quarters rath er crowded in menagerie in the back yard of the executive mansion. The governor has had to refuse' in numerable offers of large animals because of the lack of accommoda tions. Good lUck trinkets have had their 1 fair share of representations. Two i enormous four leaf clovers, pluck ed by a fair feminine hand in In diana. one for the governor and one for his wife, are scheduled to bring “all the luck." & -- FOR BEST BAKING RESULTS \ • MAGE M OFiQtlHA* CtfU>Lfft4 MADE SUPERLATIVE PfjQUR.
