Delectation of “Watchman” Read-
ers by a Corps of Gifted
Correspondents.
AXE MANN.
The Garman’s ideal home has been

come here to enjoy themselves and to
breathe the good country air.
Mrs. Ellsworth White, having been
:a patient in the Geisinger hospital, at
Danville, for a week or ten days, has
returned home and is somewhat im-
proved.
Bond White has been making some
wonderful improvements on his fill-
ing station and the surroundings,
which adds greatly to the appearance
and will no doubt attract many mo-
torists to stop for a brief rest.
Mr. and Mrs. Fearon Hughes, of
Niagara Falls, are visiting among
their many friends and relatives in
Bellefonte, Lewistown and Axe Mann.
They were formerly residents of this
place and since moving to Niagara
Falls with their family have been
very prosperous.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Meese and
daughter Ruth left on Sunday for
their home in Wilmerding, after
spending ten days very pleasantly
with Mrs. Meese’s mother, Mrs. John
Rote. A part of their time was also
spent with Mr. Meese’s mother, Mrs.
Alice Meese, at State College, while
their son, Edward Jr., will remain to
spend a few weeks with his uncle Ned
and wife.
An automobile party consisting of
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Culver, Mr. and
Mrs. C. E. Corwin and son William,
with several of their friends, motored
over from DuBois on Sunday and
viewed some of the interesting places
along the way, among them being
State College and Penns cave They
stopped off for a short visit with Mrs.
.Culver’s sister and her husband, Mr.
and Mrs. William Johnstonbaugh, ex-
pecting to stop at Mr. Culver’s home
in Moshannon, en route to their home
the same evening.
LEMONT.
Fred Reitz caught a fine 17% inch
trout Tuesday evening.
Paul Coxey has accepted the agen-
.cy for the Fuller Brush company in
this vicinity.
Mr. and Mrs. Wallace White, of
Linden Hall, transacted business in
town on Monday evening.
Mrs. Vera Homan and children, of
Centre Hall, were guests at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. William Reish, last
week.
Charles Faxon returned from a six
week’s stay in Maine, coming by way
of Albany, N. Y., to bring his daugh-
ter Hazel home after a visit with her
aunt, Mrs. Maxwell.
Rev. and Mrs. W. J. Wagner, Mrs.
H. O. Barr, Mrs. Harry Markle, Mrs.
Elmer Houtz and Miss Anna Sweeney
attended the Lutheran missionary
conference in Centre Hall last week.
Prof. Cyril Zechman, after complet-
ing a successful term of school at Av-
onlea, spent several days with his
parents, ’Squire and Mrs. J. F. Zech-
man, returning on Sunday to Pitts-
burgh, where he has accepted a splen-
did business position.
Mr. and Mrs. Leonidas Mothers-
baugh went to State College, Monday,
to visit their son Charles and family.
Mr. Mothersbaugh, who has been in
ill health for some time, became ser-
iously ill Monday night and at this
writing is not much improved.
Which is the Fastest Animal.
People have often wondered which
animal is the fleetest. Some have
thought the rabbit the fastest; others
have thought that the race horse was,
and still others believed that the fox
was the best sprinter.
_ But they were all wrong, as invest-
igations have proved that the grey-
hound can outrun them all. It has
been learned that this dog can travel
at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour
in short distances of not over two
miles. Next to the greyhound ranks
the race horse, trained especially for
running; pronghorned antelope; hare;
jackrabbit; common fox; coyote; fox-
hound, and gray wolf, in order named.
The speed records of these animals
were obtained by counting the number
of leaps each animal made in a speci-
fied time measured by a stop watch.
The wolf and fox can make the best
time on a long run investigators
learned, but the greyhound outruns
them for short distances.

Freight Trains to Sea.
It reguired the exigencies of war to
make the English recognize the value
of the American practice of taking
freight trains to sea.
Now the English war train ferries
have been made available for ordinary
traffic. They are unwilling to discard
an innovation that is an improvement.
Thus it is now possible to send a car-
load of English goods intact to Con-
stantinople. :
Americans have long appreciated
the advantages of the great ferries
that transport freight cars between
Key West and Havana and across the
Great Lakes, and also all of the pas-
senger and freight trains across the
Mississippi at New Orleans and Vicks-
burg and the Overland Route across
the Sacramento River. But Britain,
the greatest maritime nation, was
slow to realize the advantage of
ferrying its freight cars over to the
Continent.
During the war, doubtless inspired
by their record of success in America,
car ferries were established between
the English warport of Richborough
and Calais and Dunkirk and also be-
tween Southampton and Dieppe.
The peace-time car ferry route has
been established between Harwich,
northeast of London, where the Mid-
land industrial region can also use it,
and Zebrugge on the Belgian coast
where lines diverge to France, Ger-
many and Holland. The transfer slip
cradles and the boats of the war
routes have been used.
It is eighty-four miles between Har-
wich and Zebrugge and the ferries,
each carrying fifty-four of the little
trains, make the trip in nine or ten
hours.
Future car ferries from Hull to
Scandinavia are now being discussed
and enthusiasts speak of the time
when the links between England and
India will be built and that long
route open. The Cape to Cairo will
also be open by that time.
Although the airplane will carry
much of the mails and passengers of
the future, the law of gravity will al-
ways operate to make the freight
train a necessity. Where there is but
a short water carry, it is good busi-
ness to eliminate the cost of transfer
from car to boat and again to car
through a train ferry which preserves
the low cost of water transportation
without breaking bulk.

Labor Situation Still Serious.
Despite the optimism of the various
employment bureaus throughout the
State, the unemployment situation in
Pennsylvania is still unchanged—
tending toward the serious in many
sections.
This conclusion is based on the semi-
monthly report of nine bureaus to the
Department of Labor and Industry
made public today.
Although outside work in building
and construction and Highway De-
partment work has absorbed some of
the common labor, the situation in
this class is as Johnstown reports—
“a serious one.”
The demand for agricultural work-
ers has not increased generally, the
report says, although more work is
possible because of better weather
conditions. Some sections report a
large number of men ready to accept
employment on farms; others a re-
turning of the men to farms because
of little industrial work; while still
others say few men seek farm em-
ployment.
Bloodless Surgeon Urges Sun Bathing
“Get to the sun where and when
vou can” is the advice given to all by
Sir Herbert Barker, famous bloodless
surgeon.
“] have just returned from the
most gloriously beneficial holiday I
have ever had,” says Barker. “I have
spent two months in the sun at Mon-
tego Bay, Jamaica, bathing practical-
ly all day in the sea, and am literally
a new man. My outlook on life is al-
tered and I am literally stored with
warmth and energy.
“I believe that sun bathing will be
one of the great curative or restora-
tive treatments of the future in med-
ical science.
“Tt will not surprise me if future
governments provide sun baths for
citizens as they now do open spaces.
“City dwellers need something of
this kind to make them really well
and happy.”
Girls Lose Their Baby Teeth before
Boys Do.
Girls lose their baby teeth and cut
permanent teeth before boys do, and
all children show their baby teeth
from the lower jaw first. This is
shown by a survey by the New York
Association for Improving the Con-
dition of the Poor.
The survey indicates that a child’s
phycical development influences the
order in which it loses its baby teeth
and cuts its permanent teeth. It also
asserts that under-developed children
are slower to lose and cut incisors and
certain of the canine molars.
Pennsylvania Tree Planting Breaks
Record.
Concrete evidence that reforest-
ation of Pennsylvania has taken hold
with the citizens of the state is shown
in the report from where 9,160,569
trees were distributed this spring.
Last year 5,989,279 trees were ship-
ped and the nearest approach to the
record for this year was in 1918 when
8,220,659 were set out.
It is estimated that this number of
trees have reforested about 350 acres
of idle land, and in fifty years this
planting should yield approximately
12,250,000 feet of lumber.

An Exciting Chase.
A negro boy, a regular visitor to a
certain library, was noticed by the
attendant always to take the same
book, open it eagerly at the same
place, and then laugh heartily. Curi-
osity being aroused, he followed the
boy one day and watehed him open
the book. Glancing over his shoulder
he noticed a picture of a small boy
being chased by a snorting bull.
He was about to ask what there was
to laugh at, when the negro chuckled:
Golly, ’e ain’t cotched him yet!”
BALDNESS AND FAT CAUSED BY
GLAND LACK, DOCTORS
TOLD.
Are you fat?
Are you bald-headed?
That’s just the gland!
Yes, sir, there’s some hope for the
fat ladies and the bald-headed men.
Doctors who attended the seventy-
fifth annual convention of the Amer-
ican Medical Association in Chicago
were told so at a gland clinic presided
over by Dr. William Engelbach, of St.
Louis.
“Trow away your bottle and get a
gland.”
That, in effect, if not word for
word, was the message of hope held
out to the legion of the obese and
hairless.
“Usually if obesity is not due to ex-
cessive overeating we can trace it to a
deficiency of the thyroid or pituitary
glands,” Dr. Englebach declared.
“In this case administration of
glands, either by capsule or by hy-
podermic, will often greatly aid in re-
ducing weight.
“Falling hair can also many times
be traced to deficient gland develop-
ment or function. Gland treatment
will aid this.”
Dr. Englebach, who works in co-
operation with Dr. James H. Hutton,
of Chicago, in gland experimentation
and practice, declared that rejuvena-
tion by gland treatment was “possi-
ble, but not permanent.”
The doctor said that nothing which
came in a bottle, that is, a patent
medicine, could help baldness or obes-
ity.
Oh, yes, bottled thyroid extract
might help, but, on the other hand, it
might make one a nervous wreck un-
less you drank it under a doctor’s
care and advice.
Another point of interest was the
demonstration of the electrical steth-
oscope, a newly invented instrument
that is expected to simplify in great
measure the difficulties which have
beset physicians in medical school in-
struction.
Through the use of this device, de-
veloped in the research laboratories of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company and the Western
Eletric Company, as many as 500
physicians can listen to the same
heart beat through telephone receiv-
ers.
The machine is an amplifying de-
vice consisting of a microphone, a
three-stage amplifier and a group of
electric filters and receivers.
The White House Mail
The mail of the President is of such
proportions that he cannot, like the
average business man, read all his
letters as a part of the morning’s rou-
tine. By a carefully developed system,
however, the contents of the White
House mail are, in substance, laid be-
fore him each day.
The work of doing this falls upon
a corps of confidential clerks, who
open the letters and give them a first
reading. They then are carefully
sorted. Many of them, of course,
need not go to the President at all,
since they are simply recommen-
dations for office. These, after court-
eous acknowledgement, are referred
to the proper departments of the Gov-
ernment, and placed on file until they
may be taken up for consideration.
Many of the President’s letters are
purely formal, or contain requests for
something that cannot be granted.
These the clerks answer and the Pres-
ident’s secretary signs. The requests
for charity are so numerous that a
special “form” has been drawn up for
answering them. :
Such communications as the Presi-
dent ought to see are made as short
as possible. A slip is pinned at the
top of each letter, and on this is a
typewritten synopsis of its contents,
telling who the writer is and what
he has to present. If after reading
the brief, the President deems the
subject important enough, he reads
the whole letter. Sometimes the
communication is referred to the pro-
per cabinet officer, in which case a slip
s Johan at the White House and
ed.
When a large number of persons
write on the same subject, the letters
are bunched and the brief at the top
gives the names-of those who present
one argument, and in another list, the
persons who offer a diferent view.
Every effort is made to conserve the
President’s time and strength.
‘Mine Car at College.
The U.S. Bureau of Mines car
with its staff of men giving instruc-
tion in mine rescue work is at State
College this week where a group of
young miners from central Pennsyl-
vania are qualifying for the certifi-
cates. The regular short course for
miners started Monday with a record
enrollment of men preparing for
State examinations for fire boss and
mine foreman which will be given at
State College July 16 to 18.

More Girls Being Born Than Boys.
More girls are being born than boys
this year.
This from the Department of Vital
Statistics.
And there are more children being
born this year than in any year since
the war.
Only two boys are born this year
to every three girls, the department
announces in its bulletin which states
that 109,973 babies were born in this
State in the first four months of the
year.
Flivver No. 10,000,000 Starts Across |
Country.
With horn-tooting by its older bro-
thers, the 10,000,000 car turned out
at the Detroit plant of the Ford Mo-
tor Company started hence on Tues-
day morning from New York on its
way to San Francisco.
A battalion of Ford owners and
drivers, escorted the 10,000,000th
flivver from Times Square to a Jersey
City ferry. Although a racing driver,
Frank Kulich, is at the wheel, there
will be no speed record attempts on
the transcongnental hop. In each
city visited the car will stay for a
celebration in honor of the first auto-
mobile of any make to break in eight
production figures.
J. Newton Gunn, president of the
Lincoln Highway Association, gave
Kulich the signal to push off. Kulich
carries a letter from Mayor Hylan to
the San Francisco mayor.

Japanese Outbursts Unimportant.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.
The attitude of the Japanese a few
months hence is of more importance
than at present. Outbursts now are
to be expected and may mean little.
Those who manifest their displeasure
in a riotous way probably are not rep-
resentative. What will be the sober
thought of the nation is that in which
we are interested, and that is not yet
apparent.
