Sperry Brothers Divide Their Time Between Football And Bee Feeding
The Sperry brothers have shifted from football to honey.
Bryan Sperry, end, and Ken Sperry, guard on the University football team for the past three seasons, are expanding their small-scale honey business into a full-fledged commercial enterprise.
Plans have been made by the two College juniors and another brother.
Corwin, to increase the number of their hives from 125 to 2,000 within a few years. Already the hives require four yards, one each near Eudora, Lecompton, Topeka, and at the Sperry farm northwest of Lawrence.
Each yard has an adjacent lot on which sweet clover is planted. The bees like the nectar of sweet clover and it makes a good-tasting honey, Ken, a botany major, explained.
When asked if he'd ever been stung, Ken smiled. "Bees do get angry at times. Their temperament depends on the weather and the amount of nectar in the fields." Honey should be extracted between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. of a warm, sunny day, he said.
Ken and Bryan, a mathematics major, became interested in bee keeping after their discharge from the service in 1946. Today they sell honey to stores and individuals in the Lawrence vicinity. They also do their own extracting and bottling
The Sperrys hope to develop a pure strain of Italian bees, which is recognized as one of the most successful type of honey-makers. Ken estimated that one hive of Italian bees could produce 500 pounds of honey in a season, although the average yield is 100 pounds. Honey season in this part of the United States begins around May 1 and ends in October, they explained.
Honey may be used in cosmetics, golf balls, and ice cream cones, Ken remarked. Dolmar Waterson, College sophomore, interposed laughingly, "Some crude people even like it on hot biscuits."

Miss Wolfe Explains 'Problem Of Dido'
Miss Frances Lee Wolfe, instructor in mathematics, explained "The Problem of Dido" to 26 advanced students and faculty members at the mathematics colloquium Monday.
Miss Wolfe gave the historic background of Dido's connection with the isoperimetric problem (determining which closed plane curve of given length encloses the greatest area).
"Dido left her native Tyre to escape the tyranny of her brother, the king," said Miss Wolfe. "She sailed to the shores of Africa where she bargained with a native chieftain to get as much land as could be enclosed by the skin of an ox. Dido then cut the hide into narrow strips which she fastened together and enclosed a hill. There she founded the city of Carthage."
Miss Wolfe skillfully explained the problem's solution through a group of complicated theorems known as Fourier's series.
Confirm Pact Or Face War, Dulles Declares
Washington, May 4—(U.P)—Republican foreign policy expert John Foster Dulles said today he believes "war would be highly probable" if the United States repudiates the North Atlantic pact.
If the senate refuses to confirm the pact "in view of all that has happened," he said, other signatory nations might change their plans. In that event, he said, "it is quite likely that there would come a war."
Mr. Dulles told the senate foreign relations committee that the present form of the pact is not so "imperative" as its ratification, because of the effect the signing already is having on Western Europe.
He made that statement when Sen. Beurke B. Hickenlooper (R.-Iowa) asked if war would be "inevitable" if the United States did not ratify the pact.
Earlier, he said the United States "probably" would have to help build un armed bases in Europe under the treaty but still would be able to cut military spending.
"War is highly probable if we do not go into the pact," Mr. Dulles replied.
But the Republican foreign affairs expert told the senate foreign relations committee, however, that the cost of helping to rearm Europe "should be more than offset by economies made possible by the pooling on defense resources."
Under the pact, he said, "The most effective collective defense will probably require us to help to build up military establishments abroad, particularly on the continent, where a dangerous vacuum exists."
Mr. Dulles said earlier the European program has "done extremely well to date" but that "most people in Europe are unaware of the extent to which they are beneficiaries" of Marshall plan funds.
No Entries- No Art Exhibit
Reasons advanced for the small number of entries in the Delta Phi Delta art exhibit ranged from the nearness of spring finals to the lack of publicity given the event. The exhibit was cancelled when only 19 entries were received.
James Cunningham, president of the organization, said that the Engineering exposition, Kansas Relays and Music Week festival also cut down the number of entries.
"Students just didn't have time to work," he said.
Mall subscription: $3 a semester, $4.50 year, (in Lawrence add 1.00 a semester postage).

Entered as second class matter Sept. 17, 1910, at the Post Office at Lawrence, Kans., under act of March 3, 1879.

Colonel Shumate said he was especially impressed by the performance of the Pershing Rifles group.
Col. J. B. Shumate, of the Kansas military district of Topeka, said that University R.O.T.C. units appeared in good form at a formal inspection Monday.
Colonel Shumate judged the marching units on appearance, marching form, and ability to follow commands quickly. Members of the unit were quizzed Tuesday by the colonel and his assistant officers on subjects taught in the R.O.T.C. classes.
"The hard thing to do is to make bodies do what minds want them to, and the Pershing Rifles have done this to a high degree," he said.
The colonel's assistants were Maj. P. J. Handley, field artillery, Ft. Riley; Capt. R. A. Schafer, 10th division, Ft. Riley; Lt. Col. N. S. Cobb, 10th air force, Indianapolis; and Mai. F. D. Tomkins of Wayne university, Detroit.
