It was Marge's turn to have the Win-
ter bridge dub at her place and she
had set her heart on giving them
the chocolate cake her mother used
to make.
But what was that recipe? She had
forgotten it! And Mother was in
the city, fifty miles away.
Marge was almost in tears. Then a
happy thought. She ran to the tele-
phone with pencil and paper. A
minute later, she was talking with
her mother and the day was saved.

keeping say that high moisture con-
tent in the hive Is fatal to the bee
since it causes dysentery among
them. Let us assume that the air in
a hive is very moist, say at a nor-
mal temperature, and the tempera-
ture goes down several degrees ow-
ing to inadequate protection or in-
sulation about them, and see what
happens. The result is exactly the
same condition we all have, often ob-
served on the outside of a water jug
tilled with cold water and set in warm
air. Moisture congeals on the outside
of the jug, and it becomes cold and
clammy and the water drips from it
and makes everything else it touches
wet. Likewise the dew is formed.
The physical reason for these phe-
nomena is the fact that cold air can-
not hold in the invisible or vapor
form as much moisture as warm air
r^an
Same of the moisture held at high
temperature must appear as drops of
water at the lower temperature, or
In other words there is a rain, and a
rain In a bee -hive is a serious mat-
ter, but it can be prevented by con-
trolling the temperature inside the
hive. Herein exists one or the most
important uses of the insulation
about the hive. Other reasons why
an loculation should not absorb mois-
ture are that moisture increases the
conductivity of the insulation for
heat and alto makes it more liable
to deterioration and decay, A good
