Honey Bee* Making
Home Brew Liquid
Burlington.— Andrew Lealh. a
dry of desert aridity, Is worried
about his bees. They are industri
ously manufacturing home-brrw
honey
Mr Leaih is more than a tem
perate man. his friends say, and it
is needless to question what he says
During the spring nrtd summer
months when the flowers are bloom
ing he enjoys watching his bees
work. Just as he enjoyed in years
gone bv the sparks from the white
iron he fashioned at hts trade His
bees hate worked hard this sum
mer. One day he took a look to see
how much honey was in storage
"It was blaek It. smelled like
home-brew It tasted like home
brew It is unfit for anything," Mr
Lea tit said
Mr Leath believes .hat hts bees
are foraging some place where
home brew slops are poured out. re
turning home loaded with supplies
that, simply ruin their effort. He is
considering selling his bees, unless
they quit, the homebrew racket, for
he will have nothing to do with it
and doesn’t want his hives "pinch

Economist States
Country On “Dole”
Babsnn Declares Politicians Bene
fit From “Relief Racket And
Wants Attention On Men.
Silver Bay, H. Y , July 22.—De
scribing all politicians high and
low" as the chief beneficiaries of
the "relief racket", yesterday told
members of the Silver Bay institute
that the United States today la as
much on a dole as England and as
serted that, until public attention
is focused on men instead of mon
ey, "the world will continue to suf
fer.”
"Money." said Mr Babson, "will
no more succeed in getting us ou*
of the depression than it succeed
ed In keeping us out. Nor does the
solution lie in building more non
productive public works but in
getting the unemployed back to
their old productive jobs."
"Organised relief," he said, "is
benefitting the politician more
than the distressed unemployed. It
is the biggest racket in the country
and all politicians high and low
are its chief beneficiaries ”
Mr Babson urged a "quota plan'
for bringing business back to nor
mal and pointed out “the real task"
was to balance production and con
sumption so as to get everyone
back to work He said a simple
remedy would be quota the unem
ployed against employers and those
already employed
"This could be done.” he said, "by
having each community budget the
number of its unemployed and
quota them among corporations,
partnerships, families and individ
uals at a wage to be fair to all par
ties concerned. This would be only
the reverse of wartime practice
drafting men into Industry Instead
of out of it."
Blind Man Now Sees
But Questions Worth
Earl Mnsaelman, On First Trip To
New York, Acquired New
Fear
New York, July 20 — In some
ways Earl Musselman Is worse off,
now that he can see, than he was.
when he was blind
The 23-year-old Allentown, Penn,
youth was given 30 per cent sight
in one eye by the creation of an
artificial pupil a year ago during an
exceptional operation in Philadel
phia
This week he was Is New York
for the first time since he has grown
accustomed to seeing things. While
gazing at the wonders of skyscrap
ers subways and ships, he explain
ed the tremendous handicap which
now faces him.
He has lost the ways of the blind,
and still has not yet gained the
confidence of vision. When he ad
ventured forth into New York as a
blind youth, he came alone. This
tune his uncle, D W. Laubach.
Philadelphia optometrist, guided
him by the elbow.
‘Before I was able to see,” Mus
selm&n said. "I had no fear of go
ing anywhere. I always went alone.
I could guide myself by feel and my
sense of direction, ,
' But after I was able to see I got
afraid. I could see how fast auto
mobiles and street cars went. Ever
since then some one has had to go
with me and lead me when I go out
Into the streets.” •
Pearing it would be years before
he gained full confidence in his new
power. Musselman was worried about
an occupation. James H. O'Don
nell, a showman and brother-in-law
of Con Colleano. famous tight rope
walker, who had been brought up
In Allentown, came to the rescue.
He knew' Musselman played the
saxaphone, and that he had had
two pals in the Overbrook, Penn
Institute for the blind who else
played musical instruments.
So the two blind youths, Ralph
Sterner and Charles L-ichtenwalner,
and the youth who now sees, form
ed a musical trio.
That is what brought Musselman
to this city of wonders, the speed
of which terrifies him.

Seek To Settle
Large Estate Of
Smith Reynolds
Musical Revue Star’s Father Sends
Request To Co-Guardian Of _
Dead Youth.
Winston-Salem— Libby Holman,
widow of Smith Reynolds, has ask
ed his uncle. W, N. Reynolds, to be
executor of his estate,
| Alfred Holman, Cincinnati at
torney and father of the musical
I revue star who left Broadway to
i become the bride of the tobacco
I fortune heir, transmitted the re
quest in a letter to Reynolds, who
disclosed It here.
Reynolds' disclosure was prompt
ed by reports current here that a
New York legal firm had been ap
pointed executor of the estate.
He said that so far as he knew
there was no truth in the report.
Informed of the report in Cincin
nati, Holman said:
"I am my daughter's only attor
ney.”
The elder Reynolds was co-guard
ian of his 20-year-old nephew with
R E Lasater of Winston-Salem,
Reynolds Was Minor.
Young Smith Reynolds, shot to
death on a sleeping porch of his
home here two weeks ago, was a
minor when he died. Eight years
hence he would have received a
share of hi* late father's estate,
estimated at around $15,000,000.
The young aviator’s personal for
tune was relatively small.
A court fight may be necessary to
determine if the former Libby Hol
man has claim to dowel rights in
the $15,000,000 or In her husband's
personal fortune.
Attorneys here have said that if
Mrs. Reynolds has a child, which
friends say she is expecting, It
could share in the inheritance
along with Reynolds' child by a
former marriage.
Meantime .no legal steps have
been taken here looking towards a
disposition of the estate.
Has 30 Days.
Mrs Reynolds has 30 days from
the date of her husband's death to
apply for a letter of consent to act
as executofc After 30 days. other
members of the Reynolds family
can apply.
The matter must remain open for
20 days after application is made.
The Reynolds shooting claimed
national attention for more than a
week after the wealthy young play
boy was found dying from a bullet
wound at his home here
After officially recording the
death as a suicide, Coroner W, N.
Dalton summoned a jury and or
dered an inquest. The jury held that
Reynolds came to his death at the
hands of a person or persons un
known.
Mrs. Reynolds, bride of only a
few months, figured prominently in
the testimony and several times
was subjected to gruelling exami
nation
Since the inquest she has been In
seclusion at a sister's home near
