SHOULD I JOIN THE PENNSYL-
VANIA LEAGUE OF WOMEN
VOTERS? YES!
It is not enough that I have the
right to vote. I will, by joining the
League, learn how best to use my
vote.
I will be supplied with information
as to candidates, facts as to legisla-
tion, and data on all sorts of govern-
mental activity, so that when I vote,
1 will know what I am voting for.
‘As a member of the League, I am
enabled to “see at a glance” just what
is going on in politics, government
and legisiation.
The Leagne was a real and decisive
factor in the most important primary
in a decade.
This is what the League’s June
Bulletin said: “The extreme close-
ness of the vote between Mr. Pinchot
and his unsuccessful opponent, Attor-
ney General Alter, almost conclusive-
ly shows that but for the entrance of
an entirely new factor, the old State
organization, broken up as it was,
would have brought about the nomi-
nation of Mr. Alter. The question
may well be asked: ‘Would the result
have been what it was had not the
League equipped, trained and organ-
ized 'a great army of independent,
thinking women voters Jee
Women voters played a big part in
the Republican primaries; they can
play as big a part—in other issues—
in the Democratic party—in the next
Legislature— if they are forcefully
trained along League lines.
They will be interested in the 1923
Legislature, no matter what their par-
ty, in the League's Legislative pro-
gram, which includes:
Proper recommendations by the
commission for reorganization of the
State government.
Passage of a county tax revision
and assessment law.
A call for a constitutional conven-
tion.
Opposition to repeal or emascula-
tion of the direct primary law.
A NOTE TO PARTY WOMEN.
Women voters do not function
through the League only.
They will be trained in the League
and act through the parties.
The League provides women with a
common meeting ground for discus-
sion.
As members of the League, women
are stronger and more powerful Re-
publicans or Democrats.
The League is the only all-partisan
organization in existence for the po-
litical education of women.

MOUNTAINS FLOAT ON
EARTH'S INTERIOR.
Mountains float. Cubic yard for cu-
bic yard mountains weigh less, not
more, than the valleys. The moun-
tains are held up by the lighter ma-
terial of the earth’s crust flowing un-
der them. This has been proved by
researches conducted by the division of
geodesy of the United States coast
and geodetic survey, under the direc-
tion of Dr. William Bowie, chief of
the division, and his predecessor, Prof.
John F. Hayford now with the North-
western University.
It has been found that the earth’s
crust is about 60 miles in thickness
and near that depth, probably below
the material is yielding to forces
which act for long times.
The earth’s crust floats on this
yielding material. If the earth’s crust
were cut into blocks by vertical planes,
with the base of each block at a depth
of 60 miles below sea level, and the
area of the bases of the blocks were
the same and as large as 100 miles
square, these blocks would have the
same mass, that is they would weigh
the same.
By means of the geodetic observa-
tions by the United States coast and
geodetic survey, the weight of these
blocks have been found to be approx-
imately equal. This result had been
suspected for decades, but Dr. Bowie
and Dr. Hayford have proved it.
Geological science will be profound-
ly changed by this discovery, for now
we know the mountain masses are due
to the presence of lighter material in
the earth’s crust under them, and that
the ocean bottoms are low because the
material under them is denser or
heavier than the average.
Dr. Bowie concludes that there is no
tendency for mountain masses to
break down through the earth’s crust,
as they are not extra loads. They are
like the portions of icebergs project-
ing out of the water, which are held
up by the ice which is below or in the
water. The iceberg floats and so does
the mounain.—Ex.

Will Prevent Much Sickness.
These enervating days are fraught with
danger to people whose systems are poor-
ly sustained. This leads the makers of
Hood's Sarsaparilla to say, in the interest
of the less robust, that the full effect of
this good old family medicine justifies
calling it, not only a blood-purifier but
alse a tomie. It is sustaining. It gives
strength, aids digestion, promotes refresh-
ing sleep, and will prevent much sickness
at this time of year.
Hood’s Pills, which are gentle and thor-
ough, may be taken with jt, in cases
where there is need of a cathartic or laxa-

The Man Who Built the Humes Mill.
Writing from Louisburg, Kan., Mr.
0. P. Bell says:
“A friend of mine sent me a copy
of your paper and in it I saw an ac-
count of the burning of the Humes
grist mill. My father, William Bell,
built it, and if I am not mistaken,
quarried the stone on his own farm
and dressed them himself. I was a
boy about six years old when the mill
was built and as I am now in my sev-
enty-third year, it can be seen that the
mill was built about sixty-seven years
ago. My father also built the stone
milk house and the wall around the
spring.
«] hear that great changes have
taken place in that section since I
left. Mann’s Axe factory is a thing
of the past, the old Valentine furnace
has been wiped out and the Curtin
furnace closed. The picture of those
old industries is as vivid in my mind
today as it was in reality when, as a
barefooted boy, I played about in that
locality.
“The Fourth here was very quiet.
Our band went to 2 neighboring town
to furnish music for picnickers. We
are having fine weather and the wheat
has been cut and awaits stacking.
Some growers claim it is not well fill-
ed and others are troubled with the
chintz bug.”

The tree commission has taken
the trouble to go over the principal
streets of Bellefonte and make an in-
spection of the trees, as the result of
a complaint made at 2 recent meeting
of borough council as to the low limbs
overhanging the streets. The mem-
bers of the commission found many
trees the limbs of which are too low,
not only over the street but over the
pavements, and property owners are
hereby notified that such trees must
be trimmed. If the owners fail to do
so the commission has authority un-
der the law to trim the trees at the
owner’s expense.
