“TIME brings all things.”

Bee

In Red Oak, Iowa, Bannery Shay Jr., protected by netting over his head and long gloves, set out to shoo a swarm of bees from a tree. A limb of the tree broke, carried the swarm to the ground. The queen bee, followed by others, crept up Shay’s trouser-leg. He yanked the top of his trousers away from his middle, stood stock-still. The bees saw daylight, crawled out, buzzed away without stinging Bannery Shay Jr.

Sulker

In Los Angeles, Irwin Meyer took three girls for a ride in his automobile. Resentful because they resisted his advances, he drove the car petulantly into a telephone pole, injured all three. When the girls sued, ill-humored Irwin Meyer contended they should have known better than to ride with an ill-humored driver.

Bolt

In Charleston, W. Va., a bolt of lightning destroyed the lower half of Bailey Scott’s false teeth. Bailey Scott was unhurt.

Shoo

In Enid, Okla.. H. Young found five of his hens gone, a letter addressed to Lewis Burdick lying in the poultry-pen. He tok! officers that one of the missing hens would fall over in a fit if someone said “Shoo!” The officers went to Lewis Burdick’s poultry-pen, said “Shoo!”‘ A hen fell over in a fit. Burdick was arrested.

Son
