EXPERT WARRIORS
'LOS ANGELES, May 19.—'Bees are
past masters in the art of making
War, according to .Michael W. Bar'
retit, who has been studying and ex
perimenting with them for *5 years
and is rated as an authority on the
subject.
What the 'bees know atbout rapid
mobilisation to repel invasion, says
Mr. Barrett, is illustrated by the
tact that a hive is so organized that
its entire population Of 50,000 to
100,000 responds almost instantly to
a call for Conflict when an invader
approaches.
“Next 'time you go near a heo
blve.” Barrett suggests, "look
closely and you will find several!
bees flying around it in wide circles.
If you attempted to advance on the
hive some of this group would at
tack you and the rest woould hurry
home to warn the hive of the enemy's
approach. If you persisted in your
advance, an army of thousands of
bees would swarm out to the attack.
"The bees constantly flying outside
the hive are scouts or lookouts. They
ere the exterior unit of the bees’
superior fighting organization. This
organisation lhas its vanguard of
shock troops. Its regular fighting le
gions, fts chemists, engineers and a
hundred and one other kinds of units
Urait go to make up the complete
war machine."
■As en illustration oif the efficiency
with which the .bees go about van
quishing an unwieldy enemy, Mr.
Birrett cvtes the case of a snail
which tried to rdb a hive of honey
iinJer the protection of his sting
proof shrill.
In this case, says Mr Barrett, who
watched th9 encounter through a
pane of glass set into the bees'
stronghold, “the leaders of the war
forces held a quick consultation,
while tlhe main army threw up a
wall of bees around the snail. Then
(lie ibees formed in lines a dozen or
more abreast and hurried from the
floor of the 'bee box tip into a sec
lion where wax wax stored, where
each soldi or took «s muoh wax as
could be carried and hurried back to
the spot where the snail was com
batting the wall of bees around him.
There the bees dropped their loads
of wax near the enemy and hurried
back for more. In an incredibly short
time the soa'il was stuck to the floor
of the 'box, 'burled under a coating
of wax—and the war was over."

FRESHMEN UNDER:
WING OF PREXf
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.,
May 19.—'Condemning existing me
thods at housing and earing for fresh
man students as both unfair and|
wasteful, President Ray Lyman Wii-i
blip of Stanford University recently,!
brought to an end a aeries of meet-1
ings with campus sltudent leaders at i
which ho announced 'the univerJJty's
intention to putt all freshmen students,
under one roof and to prevent their j
being "rushed" 'by fraternities and1
other organizations for a nine-month
period.
When carried into effect this plan
will rovoliHtfonize the present housing
and social system at Stanford. En
eina Halil, for 35 years the center
of non-fraternity life, and in which!
600 men are now quartered, will
next year became a freshman dormi
tory. The upperclassmen who now
live there will be transferred to
Toyon and Bran nor halls, new dormi
tories erected by the university and
the Stanford Hoard elf Aithletle Con
trol this year. As soon as the ulti
mate plans are financially possible,
existing fraternities will be moved
out of their present quarters into
dormitories holding four fraternities
each, especially built for that pur-!
pose. All living groups will thus,
be centered about ithe new points of!
expansion in ihe university, doing1
away with the present isolation oft
groups 'Which is i*> disliked by uni !
versity officials.
President Wilbur plans to house'
nearly a hundred upper classmen in!
F.ncina Hail with the freshmen ns1
'mentors.” Those men will be ex-i
peeled to advise freshmen and to I
give such assistance as seems neoes-i
sarv with their studies In an effort!
to do away with the large mortality
lis>t caused by ]>oor scholarship in
Ihe first year. A comnVt'tee of campus',
leaders, including three ex-editors or!
the Dally Pal'o Alto, the student1
newspaper, two major sport captains !
the dean of men and the controller of
the university, have been appointed!
to select the mentors for the first
year under the new system.
The president declared that while
he was willing to concede ground in
some respects, he would not give in
an inch in 'the case of freshmen, for
whom “he was going to fight and
upon whom he depended to bring the
university out of its present athletic;
slump." He stpoke of "an unsocial
attitude toward freshmen" by upper
classmen as one of the major causes
for “casualties" In scholarship.
