Demorealic; Wad, Bellefonte, Pa, January 28, 1921. | ENGLAND HAS A NEW CLASS | “New Poor” Is the Problem There Now—Humdrumness of Life Is Their Tragedy. i England has no nouveau riche—the | “new poor” is the class most referred | to in England today, according to Miss | Clarissa Spencer who has just re- | turned from London as representative | of the overseas department of the Y. | W. C. A. In addition to England | Miss Spencer visited European coun- | tries to further the work of the Y. | W. C. A. in explaining their peoples | one to the other through the medium | of their women, i “Not starvation, nor homeliness, but : the humdrumness of life is the tragedy | of a great portion of English young women.” Miss Spencer says: “Young | men are few. “For most of the girls who had been engaged to be married and for ! many who had just married at the opening of the war, life now holds little but the long years ahead. Some of them, of course, will marry. But many more will brave the endless suc- cession of days, each the same color as the last.” Few English girls are idle. Most of | them earn their living now. What | has struck Miss Spencer so forcibly is that work, food and shelter become | meaningless to the vast number of England's girls who no longer look ahead to homes of their own. Miss Spencer believes that not so many English girls are coming to this | country as are going to England's own | colonies. TELESCOPIC CAMERA IN ANDES Largest Photographic Apparatus in the ' World Has 24-inch Lens, The South American station of Har- vard university’s observatory, tucked | away in the Peruvian Andes. near the city of Arequipa. in the old Inca em- pire, boasts of the largest photo- graphic apparatus in the world. It is a huge telescopic camera with a 24- inch lens which has been of great aid to sclence in its observations of the southern skies. The station was founded 30 years ago, and is located ncar the base of ! the famous Andean volcano, Misti. “The Arequipanian Indians, descen- ; dants of the Inca civilization, fre- quently speak of themselves as the sons and daughters of old Misti, It is | said the Indians in the surrounding country still worship the mountain with much reverence, regarding it as the source of earthquakes which oft- en are felt in the region. The volcano erupted seven years ago. Superstitions in regard to the moun- tain date back to prehistoric times. The ruins of the ancient pagan tem- ples, a writer says, have been found in the crater of the volcano, and even to- day near the top may be seen a great ° iron cross. placed there in 1677, when a party of Spanish priests exorcised and pleaded with it not to erupt again | and destroy their cities. | The clear atmosphere of the Arequi- pa region is said to have afforded an excellent site for an observing station. German “Booby Traps.” At the start of the reconstruction ! work in the devasted coal region about Lens, I'rance. the French were : taught by several disasters that the | retreating Germans. before flooding | mines, had concealed along the walls unnumbered “booby traps,” says Pop- | ular Mechanics. Consequently, in or- der that the divers. charged with pre- ! Nminary inspections, may “look Dbe- | fore they leap,” the government re- | gently purchased from England an in- | teresting apparatus for submarine phetegraphy. Lowered down the flooded shaft, this apparatus illumi- nates a ten-footl zone; then, as switch- | es are pressed at the mouth of the | shaft, it photographs simultaneously each of the four walls. ! rte “ The Best Thing He Did. » A melancholy looking man entered the establishment of a photographer. “I should like to have a picture of myself weeping beside my wife's grave,” he explained. * “I fear I have not the necessary accessories here,” said the pho- tographer. Then he added, faceti- ously, “Couldn’t we arrange to have the portrait made at the grave it- self?” “No,” said the man; “that's in New York state. It would be too expen- sive to go there. Just you fix up some kind of a grave here in the shop. I could weep on that. It’s no ; trouble for me to weep anywhere.”— "Everybody's Magazine. 5 Revised Version. { Little Bert had been to Sabbath stool by himself.

A marked increase in the amount of crude rubber imported into this country is shown by figures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1920, com- piled by the National City bank of New York. During the year 600,000, 000 pounds were imported, as com: pared with 132,000,000 in 1919.

Harrisburg, Pa.—District Forester Bartschat, of Milroy, has notified the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry that the beaver colony established in Green’s valley is thriving. Last week he found several trees more than six inches in diameter had been felled by the animals. During the high water period late in the fall, the beaver | saved their colony by building a sluice way that carried off the superfluous | -water and prevented destruction of | their dam. Rangers on the Penn State forest { them open and painting the trees thi. | winter. The absence of leaves makes { the work very much easier to do at i this time of the year. Forester Bartschat and forest rang- er Wirth recently attended a meeting of road viewers in Brown township to consider the advisability of vacating a short length of road leading through Cooper’s gap to the Penn State forest. About 65 persons attended, represent- ing more than 200 individuals inter- csted in camp sites in that locality. According to Forester Bartschat, it was generally agreed that the Penn- sylvania Department of Forestry was doing its best to protect the forest i from fire, and that some way would be found to continue the protection if the i road were vacated. The final decis- ion rests with the court. Forest Ranger McKinney finds that i deer are still plentiful in his section i of the Penn State forest in spite of { the large number killed during the TL last hunting season. three to nine deer are frequently seen near his house.
