PLEASANT GAP.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Keller and
daughter are guests at the W. H. Noll
Jr. residence.
Mrs. Philip Seaman and daughter
Mary Elizabeth, of Asbury Park, were
visitors at the Hugh Crumlish home
the past week. Mrs. Seaman Is a SIS-
ter of Mrs. Crumlish.
A surprise party was tendered Mrs.
Ammon Kerstetter last Friday even-
ing, at the Kerstetter residence. It
proved a genuine surprise. Twenty
guests enjoyed the interesting occa-
sion. Mrs. Kerstetter thinks Mr. Am-
mon was the sly instigator.
Mr. and Mrs. Ammon Kerstetter,
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. William
Kerstetter, drove over to the Seven
mountains with a view of inspecting
their hunting camp and to have every-
thing in an inviting shape for the
opening of the hunting season Decem-
ber 1st.
Last Saturday evening twelve
guests were present at the H. J. Grif-
fith home, to celebrate the 8th birth-
day of their daughter Betty. White
and yellow was the color scheme; one
dozen each, of white and yellow chrys-
anthemums was the table centre piece.
Betty was the recipient of many love-
ly and useful presents, and was high-
ly elated over the most agreeable
events of the evenihg.
Pleasant Gap is surely highly fa-
vored in a business point of view. We
have three milk dealers supplying the
public with milk daily. We have two
butchers, two garages, not side-shows
but legitimate garages. They will sell
you a machine or repair the same any
day of the week, Sunday not excepi-
ed. We also have two good general
stores, both succeeding admirably
well. The only thing we are deficient
in is a blacksmith. We have a well
equipped blacksmith shop but no
blacksmith to operate it.
A lady propounded the following
question to me. Why do people
smoke? Because they want to. This
is probably as satisfactory an answer
as can be given to this oft repeated
question. Why did they ever begin to
smoke? It would be more interesting
to trace the habit to its origin, but un-
fortunately there are no very reliable
records from which to gather the de-
sired information. Will they ever
quit? No fellow can find out. How-
ever, the strong probabilities are that
man will smoke as long as tobacco
grows on the face of the earth, or un-
til something better can be discover-
ed. Tobacco is a queer sort of weed
anyway. The excessive use of tobac-
co in any form cannot help being more
or less harmful. About all that can
be said in its favor is that it affords a
great deal of satisfaction to those
who have become used to it. On the
other hand, somking fouls the breath,
injures the sense of taste, vitiates the
atmosphere of a room, and entails un-
necessary expense. "Chewing is more
filthy than smoking, but not as ex-
pensive. Physicians differ in their
opinions as to which is the more
harmful.
There are a great many things to
find out yet before the world is as
wise as it may be, and one of these is
why women are not humorous. They
enjoy fun to its fullest extent, and are
the best patrons and friends of funny
men; yet, when they come to write,
they are almost universally sentimen-
tal, prosy, and heavy. Probably more
than half the books written by women
are negative in character; that is, they
are devoted to finding fault with the
existing state of affairs rather than to
pointing out and advocating a better
way. The remainder of their books
are made up of poetry, fiction, cookery
and such like. Even their poetry is
largely of the melancholy type, and
about as suggestive of the flatus of
indigestion as the inflatus of poetry.
Just there is a tender point. To say
that women are not witty, is to offend
the entire sisterhood; therefore, it
were better left unsaid. Indeed, it
would not be strictly true if it were
said, although there is but little on
record to show that any of them have
ever distinguished themselves in that
way. It must be admitted they have
a better record as wits than as humor-
ists. Humorists are born such.

miles while the new county bridge is
being built. During the Pennsylva- |
nia Day season at State College he
cleaned up about five hundred dollars
in his tolls, and now his purchase of
the Cramer farm looks as if his ven-
ture has turned out to be a very pay-
ing proposition.

WILL KEEP HIGHWAYS CLEAR
OF SNOW.
Harrisburg.—The State Highway
Department during the coming win-
ter will keep 1711 miles of state high-
way clear of snow. This is a greater
mileage than ever was attempted by
the Department. It covers the State's
most important roads.
As rapidly as state highway roads
are durably improved, they are in-
cluded among the roads kept open for
traffic during winter months.
In its snow removal activities the
Highway Department will employ 125
snow plows, 66 road machines, 140
trucks, 14 tractors and several hun-
dred drags. Snow fences will be
placed at those locations at which
past experience shows that drifts
form. The roads whici« will be kept
free from snow during the coming
winter are as follows:
i The Lincoln Highway in its entire-
y.
The William Penn highway from
Ebensburg, Cambria county, east to
Harrisburg, Reading and Philadelphia.
The highway connecting the Wil-
liam Penn highway at Ebensburg with
the Lincoln highway at Jennertown,
Somerset county, via Johnstown.
The route extending from the Mary-
land line of Emmittsburg to Williams-
port, Mansfield, and to the Gettys-
burg, Harrisburg, Sunbury, New York
line at Lawrenceville.
The road connecting the improved
systems of Ohio and New York via
Erie.
The thoroughfare from Philadelphia
through Easton, Stroudsburg and
Scranton to the New York line south
of Binghamton.
The road connecting Philadelphia
and Allentown via Quakertown.

phia and Morrisville via Langhorne
and via Tullytown.

Horse Not Displaced Yet by Motor
Truck. ;
That the horse is still an important
factor in the commercial activities of
the United States is shown by the
statements of Wayne Dinsmore, sec-
retary of the Horse Association of
America, that the number of horses in
New York city has increased 100 per
cent. in five years.
More than 15,000 horses are in com-
mercial use throughout the United
States by one company alone.
The American Railway Express
company, credited with being the
largest commercial user of horses in
the world, still is finding the horse an
important factor in its work. On Ju-
ly 81, 1922, the company had in its
service 15,254 ~ horses. The average
number of horses kept showed an in-
grease from 870.4 in 1917 to 1725.3 in
1921.
EPISCOPAL HEALING.
The ratification by the House of
Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
church of the action of the House of
Deputies indorsing healing by prayer
marks the formal recognition of faith-
cure methods by this church. But it
is important to quote the exact
phraseology of the authorization.
Clergy and lay members who believe
they possess powers of healing are
permitted to prepare themselves “by
care and prayer and theological and
medical study for their proper and
safe exercise;” and provision is made
that those engaging in the ministry of
healing shall do so only with the writ-
ten approval, “after due consideration,
of their Bishop and in sympathetic
conference with qualified Christian
physicians.”
In the discussion of a proposed
amendment of the prayer for the sick,
one delegate objected to “putting
Christian Science into the Episcopal
prayer-book.” But it is patent enough
that the Episcopalians have not put
Christian Science into their scheme of
spiritual healing. It is not by theo-
logical and medical study nor yet by
sympathetic conferences with quali-
fied physicians that practitioners of
that cult do their healing. Nor do
they attempt to overcome disease by
individual powers of personality.
These are the very things which are
anathema to Christian Scientists,
whose reliance for their cures is on
the spiritual understanding of Biblical
truth.
How much spirituality there may be
in the Episcopal plan of a ministry of
healing is open to question. It ap-
pears on its face to be an attempt to
couple religious faith with medical
practice. But whether or not the
vogue of Christian Science has inspir-
ed the policy, it is devoid of any sug-
gestion of adopting the tenets of Mrs.
Eddy’s school. It is not Christian Sci-
ence in any degree.—Harrisburg pa-
triot.
