E "Iibbens. report. Jerry Bland, who was ill last week, was unable to return to work, so left for his home in Harrisburg. His son John left on a business trip to Wil- liamsport on Tuesday. Lieut. John Hume came home and reports all is well in New York State. He left for Lock Haven on a business trip, expecting to be gone several ays. He is now better, so says Skating is Universal. Without a doubt skating is the king of winter sports, and has ever since primitive man flew over the ice shod with the bones of animals. It was in 1862 that one Alexander McMillan invented the club skate, the name being derived from an old New York Skating club, where it was first employed. About this time Jackson Haines (originally teaching the art of Terp- sichore) went in for skating, succeed- ing so well that abroad he was known and even buried (he died in Finland) as “The American Skating King.” Not only did he create a furore over there, he actually made the Continen- tal style. It is not quite easy to predict just what the skating outlook may be. A year or so ago there was a madness for skating, ice rinks mysteriously springing up in hotels, clubs and res- taurants. What next! Last year the boys in uniform had it all their own way. They had but to appear on any sheet of ice, and even a mediocre performance was applaud- ed enthusiastically. Not that their skating was likely to be mediocre. A Jackie out in Fairmount Park one one morning made the cognoscenti sit p. To show what valuation those in power at warm-weather resorts put on this sport one has but to recall that many of the California pleasure grounds have added this attraction, and last winter it was reported that even Palm Beach was taking such a ring under consideration. An expert says that when the sim- pler steps have been mastered fairly well the skater is on the high road to excellence, and may defer for a time the difficult, though simple, eights, He also declares: “It is worth noting what is the se- cret of the back eights, as also of progression on back edges (semi-cir- cles as opposed to the circles of the eight)). This secret is swing, which, explained, is a transference of mo- mentum and balance to the other foot. It is on two feet what the continuous movement is on one. To get this Swing; say, from inside back, you should, just before putting down the free foot (which is done in front of and over the other), let your body come round so that your back is turn- ed to your direction and your weight toward the outside. “In the same way with the change of foot on the outside back, the free foot here being put down behind the other. Here, too, of course, the body swings so as.almost to face your di- rection. All that this means is that the weight comes round with the trav- eling edge before being placed on the other foot, and it cannot be done un- d less your balance on the edges is pret- ty good “The rule which applies to striking applies to these more difficult forms of striking as well as to steps and turns. This rule is that the new curve should begin parallel to the old, not cut across its line. Otherwise there is friction and loss of momentum, obvi- ous enough. As already mentioned, the foot which leaves the ice should have the toe pointing out and downward as soon as you are comfortable enough on the new edge to do it. . “When your balance is good, it is interesting to let the free leg move of its own free will and see what hap- pens. You will find that it follows the principles of skating, which, of course, are based on nature. _ “Especially in the turns you will no- tice that the free leg assists the move- ment by a sort of sympathetic action. It helps to keep the balance, to guide the momentum of the body as the di- rection is changed, and to facilitate the turning foot. “As in the change, so in the turn, the original curve must be sharply emphasized just before the foot turns round. The hip will do its work with- out your thinking about it. Your bus- iness is to turn the foot as far round as you can in the same sort of way as You turn it on the ballroom floor. on’t listen to those people who tell you that the foot comes round of it- self as soon as you have got the body into position. The foot must be con- sciously turned with a kind of con- cealed spring.” But skate! You may not become a star, but ractice early and as often as there’s ice. At this sport ’tis hard to beat the Dutch, for they play as well as work when shod with steel, a husky young- ster tearing off to visit his sweetheart thus accoutred, or pushing a keg of schnapps or his grandmother on a sled, as the case may be. Abroad, indeed, they’re much more excited about it than are we. Not only from the naturally frozen ice of the Scandinavian peninsula to the Swiss resorts, but even in old London an artificial ice rink (Prince's, of course) has long been a favored ren- dezvous.—F.

The area of the United States is nearly twenty-five times that of Ja- pan, but the population of Japan is almost six-tenths that of the United States. Within an area smaller than California, Japan has a population of twenty-two times greater density. To every square mile of the Flowery Kingdom there is a population of 370 souls—almost five times that of Chi- na. And the inhabitants of Japan are increasing at the rate of 850,000 a year. Such are some of the facts, substantiated by works of reference as authoritative as the Encyclopedia Britanica. Before the present war the prob- lem of congested population in Eu- rope found solution either in emigra- tion or in colozination over seas; after the war the problem will be less acute. America opened its doors to Europe— and besides this outlet, all the great European powers had colonies in oth- er hemispheres. But whereas with European na- tions, emigration was a convenience, with Japan it is a growing and im- mediate necessity. In all Pan-Amer- ica, with the exception of Mexico, Asiatics are unwelcome.. Australia has shut her doors against Asiatic em- igration. In Northern China there are large tracts of land not so thick- ly populated, but the European world holds jealous interests in this area. Speaking of Marriage. A representative said in the course of a heated argument about the Lib- erty motor: * “We don’t know the whole truth yet, and from half truths optimistic and pessimistic conclusions can, with equal justice, be drawn. This brings you nowhere. It’s like the two club- men. “Marriage,” said the fat, optimis- tic clubman, ‘is a preventive of sui- cide.’ “ «And suicide,” said the lean, pessi- mistic clubman, ‘is a preventive of marriage.” ” Will Stop that Cou D GUARANTEED EE CHICHESTER S PILLS £54 ‘Ladies!

William's friend Karl, who got the pink envelope some weeks prior to William, was also holding down a splendid bunch of “situations” when the crash came. Among other things he styled himself “King of Jerusa- lem” although there were several other royal claimants to the posi- tion, not to mention Gen. Allenby. He was also Grand Voivode of Ser- bia, although the Serbs probably wouldn’t have admitted it, and Grand Duke of Tuscany, or at least thought he was. He also signed himself Apos- tolic King of Hungary and eight oth- er different and distinct kings, an archduke, two grand dukes and a rince. Both William and Karl, however, ran second to the late Nicholas II, of Russia, whose titles when in power took 21 newspaper lines of nonpareil type to set forth, most of the names being entirely unpronounceable.

Swift & Company's 1918 Earnings How They Affected You During the twelve months ended Nov. 2, 1918 (its fiscal year), Swift & Company trans- acted the largest volume of busi- ness on the smallest margin of profit in its history. Profits of the meat business—under regulations of the United States Food Administration — were limited to a maximum of 9 per cent on capital employed but not to exceed 274 cents Swift & Company in the regulated departments earned 7.57 per cent on capital employed and 2.04 cents per dollar of sales, out of which had to be paid interest on borrowed money and Here is how these earnings .

Swift & Company made a profit of only a fraction of a cent per pound The sales of our meat departments were 4,012,579,000 pounds on which our earnings were less than }% cent per capita consumption of meat in the United States is given as 170 pounds.

Rev. Frederick C. Hicks, of New York, has compiled figures on the cost of the war. These show the com- bined expense on both sides during the first three years amounted to $98, 500,000,000 and that this vast sum will be increased to $160,000,000,000 if {ie mar continues until August 1, This means that the entire cost of the American Civil war is being du- plicated every 85 days and that the cost of the Franco-Prussian war is equalled every five weeks. Reduced to comparisons, this enormous sum of money would construct fo Panama canals. It would build a railroad long enough to encircle the earth at the Squelor 92 times. It would purchase 360,000,000 Ford automobiles. If put into one-dollar bills, placed end to end, it would make a chain of greenbacks that could reach around the world 757 times. Four years of the present war will cost more than seven times as much as the total di- rect cost of the six greatest wars in the 126 years previous to August, 1914, although one of these lasted 21 years. It cost the United States more than $50,000,000 a day. These amazing statistics give an illustration of what civilization must pay as the price of Sermany'’s madness.—Kansas City tar. | | FINE JOB PRINTING o—A SPECIALTY—o0 AT THE WATCHMAN OFFICE There is no style of work, from the cheapest “Dodger” to the finest: BOOK WORK, that we can not do in the most satis- factory manner, and at Prices consist. ent with the class of work.
