Busy Bee Goes To War
By Producing Beeswax
For Plane Motors
The busy little bee has been
drafted for war.
Working on a buzzing swing
shift, bees are producing wax for
airplane motors, shell manufactur-.
ing, and electrical insulation, ac
cording to Professor E. J. Ander
son, bee specialist at the Pennsyl
vania State College.
"Beeswax is finer and more im
pervious to water than paraffin,"
he stated. "For this reason it is
highly prized to protect airplane
motors against the action of sea
water, to protect and lubricate
sholls, and for electrical cables."
Other uses of beeswax are in
glass manufacturing, polishes,
dentistry (where it is used in mak
ing molds), in pattern-making,
tree-grafting, and in making a wa
ter-proof and chemical-proof paint
for containers holding photogra
phic solutions.
"We need much more wax thin
the bees can produce," Professor
Andersbn said in urging beekeep
ers to salvage all the wax they
can. Only about two-thirds of a
pound of wax is produced by a
bee colony each season, he point
ed out. Important ways to get
more wax include saving scraps,
culling combs, killing the wax
moth, and collecting wax from hiv
es which are no longer used.
Alpha Chi Omega Elects
Alpha Chi Omega recently elect
ed the following officers: Margaret
Good, president; Patricia Hallberg,
vice-president; Suzanne Sickler,
recording secretary; Julia McFar
land, corresponding seer et a r y;
Nora Catherine Clouser, treasurer;
and Jane Gleichert, historian.

ble to take their physical ex

Student Soldiers Show
Variety Of Reading Tastes
Student soldiers at the College
already have demonstrated that
they possess a wide - variety of
reading tastes.
Since the coming of the mili

1. Current issues of philosophy
periodicals.
.2. Recent books on marriage.
3. Critical articles on symphonic
music.
4. Complete .works of authors
like Thomas Wolfe, James Joyce,.
and E. E. Cummings, and
5. A copy (of "The Wild Party,"
Joseph Moncure :March's poetic!
treatment of the roaring twenties.‘'

asked for a book on Pennsylvan

sought information on the Library
of Congress—and then Aflabber
gasted the attendant . by saying
that he once worked there.
