The United States has become the

passes that does not see art treasures
of the old world sold on the block to

United States. A great auction was re-
cently held in New York which Includ-
ed the household furniture and art ob-
jects from some of the oldest homes In
Great Britain. A brawny young man
of Canada dressed in rough tweeds
was present at this sale and when an
English refectory table’ was offered
for sale he put in the first bid. Other
bidders appeared, but they did not
have a chance. The Canadian got it
for five hundred dollars, S - i

It is too much to ask of a hard

the interior of the hive is too hot and
poorly ventilated. “One remedy is to
tip up the front of the hive one inchi
from the base board, using a taper-1

side," says A. C. Burrell, extension 1
