Bees Make Whoopee
But Little Honey
! McALLEN. Tex.(U.R)—Bee keep
ers of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley in Texas are faced with
a problem.
Their bees, instead of keeping
their minds on honev-making,
are sipping too frequently of fer
mented dates and raising merry
hallelujah.
The trouble starts when a bird
pecks a date, puncturing the
date ferments and the bees
knock off work for a few quick
ones.
Then. they fall to the ground
in a drunken daze. Often tnej
don’t get back to the hive a'
night, but spend the night un
derneath the tree in an intoxi
cated orgy. _

, OR DAVEY PORTRAIT
1 r COLUMBUS, O.—More than
light years after he left office,
an official state portrait of
former Gov. Martin L. Davey is
to be painted and hung in the
state house.
The incumbent governor,
Thomas J. Herbert, a Repub
lican, has approved an order re
leasing .750 from the executive
department’s funds to pay an
artist for painting the picture.
Gov. Davey, a Democrat, died
last year. He had refused to
have a portrait painted of him
self, after he left office, con
tending that '.500 appropriated
by the state legislature for the
purpose was inadequate.
Playful Ghost Plagues
Ancient Inn
RYE, England — Mine host
of the Standard Inn here is wor
ried by a poltergeist—mischi
evous spirit — which has been
overturning tables, scrambling
bedsheets and scatterng dotti
ng after lockup tme nghtly.
Experts from the Society for
Psychical Research are watch
ing the inn in the hope of wit
nessing the phenomena, which
superstitious folks hereabouts
ascribe to the ghost of a mayor
of Rye supposed to have been
murdered on the inn doorstep
in the 14th century.
The landlord of the ancient
hostelry, A. T. Eastwood, fears
that his poltergeist may decide
to open the beer taps, or even
drink some of the brew — and
beer is in short supply.

Soviet Scentists Turn
Quicksand Into Stone
LONDON —Soviet scientists
after long research have succe
eded in converting quicksand
into solid foundations for build
ings or preventing its formation
under existing buildings, Radio
Moscow ‘reports.
The method consists of intro
ducing under pressure two solu
tions — the so - called “liquid
glass” and calcium chloride —
into the sand. The first, the
radio report said, displaces
water from the sand and en
velops the sand grains, and the
second, reacting with the liquid
glass, forms a hard compound
which solidifies the ground.
Within ten days the quicksand
is converted into artificial sand
stone hardly distinguishable
from the natural variety.
Raising Chinchillas
Beats Dentistry
CHARLESTON, S. C. —Dr.
John T. Green has a chinchilla
“farm” in his dental office here
and says that on paper the little
animals promise more profit
than his drills and picks.
He started last April 15 with
three pair. They doubled by
Sept. 1 and should double again
by Christmas.
“Since good chinchillas cost
from $1,000 to ! 1,600 a pair, you
can see that my potential pro
fits are adding up rapidly,’’ Dr.
Green said.
He keeps the pets in a spare
room in his office suite and
feeds the babies goat milk from
a bottle.
Major effects on the human
body at high altitudes are caused
by the decrease in atmosphere
pressure rather than lack of
oxygen.

i Co-Ed Enrolls In Course
For Football Coaches
ANN ARBOR, Mich. <U.P.)—Miss
Beverly Bussey set a precedent
at the University of Michigan
when she enrolled in Wall
Weber’s class on fundamentals
' for prospective football coaches.
Miss Bussey, who weights
about 100 pounds, said she does
not plan to play or coach foot
ball. She merely wants to be
come a sports writer and
aspires to qualify for reporting.
Football knowledge isn’t her
only aim in the sports field. The
young co-ed took a course on
fundamentals of baseball last
spring and during the comi n g
winter semester plans to take a
course in basketball.
Finland and the Balkan states
import most of their petroleum
and its products from the United
States normally.
