TODAY.
So here hath been dawning
Another new day;
Think, wilt thou let it
Slip useless away?
Out of eternity
This new day is born;
Into eternity,
At night, will return,
Behold it aforetime
No eye ever did:
So soon it forever
From all eyes is hid.
Here hath been dawning
Another new day;
Think, wilt thou let it
Slip useless away?
—Thomas Carlyle.
NATIONAL SONGS
OF ALLIED NATIONS.
With the sounding of the first notes
of “The Star Spangled Banner” any
American audience instantly rises to
its feet and remains standing until
the last notes of the famous song,
written by a young Southerner, dies
away. It might fare badly with any
one who remained seated, deliberately
refusing to pay this tribute of respect
to the song and the flag. Only very
old people or some crippled person
would be excused for not rising when
this song is being played. No doubt
the national patriotic songs of other
lands receive the same tribute of re- |
spect and honor when their airs are
played. Just now “The Star Span-
gled Banner” is being sung even more
than the great national anthem,
“America.” No doubt this is partly
because “The Star Spangled Banner”
is more distinctly a war song and the
flag is flying all over the land as never
before in the history of the nation.
“fhe Battle Hymn of the Republic,”
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe’s immortal
song, is probably being sung more by
the soldier boys than either ‘“Ameri-
ca” or “The Star Spangled Banner.”
This is perhaps in part because of the
fact that the air of the “Battle Hymn
of the Republic” is what many would
call “catchy” and it calls for martizl
music, Its
“Glory, glory, Hallelujah!”
has something about it that appeals to
the boys in khaki and they sing it with
tremendous vigor if they are in the
singing mood. They have added to it
what they call their “hike songs” and
they sing it when on the march.
The British national anthem, “God
Save the King,” is sung to the same
air as that of our “America” dnd it is
being sung today throughout the
length and breadth of Great Britain.
Its first stanza is as follows:
“God save our gracious King,
T.ong live our noble King,
God save the King!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the King!”
“L Marseillaise,” the national au-
them of the French people is a stir-
ring song to which the people of
France thrill as they have not thrilled
before in many a year. The first of
its three stanzas is:
“Arise, ye children of the nation.
The day of glory now is here!
See the hosts of dark oppression,
Their blood-stained banners rear
Do ye not heed? Roaring the tyrants go,
Scattering homes and peaces.”
The chorus of this national song of
the French people is well calculated
to stir the blood of the French people
today:
“To arms, ye warriors all.
Your blood battalions call.
March on, ye free!
Death shall be ours,
Or glorious liberty!”
Very few people in our country are
familiar with the words of the Rus-
sian national anthem which is enti-
tled “Bog Vse—Ustrahayusheh.” It
has but three stanzas of four lines
each and they are as follows:
“God the All-Terrible, Thou Whe ordain-
est,
Thunder Thy clarion and lightning Thy
sword.
Show forth Thy pity en high where Theu
: reiguest,
Give us peace in our time, O Lord.
God the All-Merciful, earth hath forsaken
Thy holy ways, and slighted Thy word;
Let not Thy wrath in its terror awaken,
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
God the Omnipotent, Mighty Avenger,
Watching invisible, judging unheard;
Save us in mercy, and save us in danger,
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.”
Never was there a time when the
people had greater reason to pray for
peace since the land is so threatened
and beset by foes from without and
within that its future is a matter of
the greatest uncertainty and the out-
look could not well be more ominous.
It will no doubt be long before the
prayed-for peace will reign through-
out the land and the cry of the Rus-
sian people may well be—
“Save us in mercy, save us in danger.”
No country has so short a national
anthem as has Japan, since its nation-
al anthem, entitled “Kimi Ga Yo,”
has but these four lines:
“May our sovereign Lord remain,
Rooted for a thousand years and then
again
Until rocks,
stone,
Until moss never more is thickly grown.”
vast and solemn, rise from
The national anthem of Italy is
called “The Garibaldi Hymn,” and it
has but two stanzas, the first of which
18:
“Come arm ye! Come arm ye!
From vineyards of olives, from grape man-
tled towers,
Where landscapes are laughing in mazes
of flowers;
¥rom mountains, all lighted by sapphire
and amber
! from cities of marble, from temples and
marts,
Arise, all ye valiants! Your manhood pro-
claiming
Whilst thunders are meeting, and sabers
are flaming,
For honour, for glory, thy bugles are
sounding
To quicken your pulses and gladden your
hearts!”
The natioznz! hymn of the Serbian
people is probably known to very few
of the people of America. It is enti-
tled Srpska Narodna Himma, and it is
as follows:
“God! who in the bygones past saved us,
Thy people,
Great King of Justice, hear us this day;
While for our country, for Serbia's salva-
tior,
We wiih devotion unceasingly pray,
Onward! onward lead us ever
Out of the shadow into light.
'Till our ship of State be anchored,
Thro’ the mercy of Thy might;
Till our foes be spent and scattered,
On the fullness of the Light,
Serbig’s King, and Serbia's land,
Guard for evermore!”
«Ia Brabanconne,” the national
hymn of the unfortunate people of
suffering little Belgium, must have a
note in it akin to mockery in these
days of bitter trial and tribulation. It
may be, however, that the stout-heart-
ed people of the land sing it in the
hope that its words may be true in the
near future if they are not literally
true today. The first of the two stan-
zas of the Belgium hymn is:
“The years of slavery are past,
The Belgian rejoices once more;
Courage restores to him at last,
The rights he held of yore!
Strong und firm his clasp will be,
Keping the ancient flag unfurled,
To fling its message on the watchful
world:
Tor King, for Right, and Liberty.”
The national hymn of the Rouman-
ian people has the proper titie of
“Roumaniz.” It is in these twelve
lines:
“Long be thy reign, O King!
Loudly thy praises we sing;
Thou to our land shalt bring
Honor, peace and glory!
May our Lord bless thy sword,
Bring aid to all!
Strive with might for the right,
Ne'er may'st thou full!
Lord God, oh hear us!
Je Thou still near us!
Jail Thou Roumania never,
Guard our crown forever!”
The title of “Portugal” kas been
given to the national anthem of the
Portuguese people. In its first stanza
it makes this heroic appeal to the peo-
ple:
“All ye who love our nation,
I'or the faith put forth your might!
Be it ever your inspiration,
The law divine all hearts to unite,
The Law divine all hearts to unite!
Chorus.
Lead us onward, holy banner!
Guide us ever, immortal tuith!
Every man will follow proudly
On the way to viertory or death!
Ou the way to victory or death.”
No person of truly patriotic feeling
can sing or hear sung the national
hymn of his native land without feel-
ing a quickening of the pulse and a
desire to be true to the land of his
birth. Love of country is inborn in
all good men and women, and this love
and loyalty finds expression in a beau-
tiful way in some of our national an
thems.—Reformatory Record.
KEEP FARM ACCOUNTS
FOR BUSINESS SAFETY.
Knowing where the dollars come
and go in 19256 may mean the differ-
ence between profit and loss for many
farmers of Centre county.
At this time of the year business
men of all lines of work are taking
their annual inventories and closing
up their books for the year. Farmers
of Centre county will find it to their
advantage to take an inventory of
their business some time within the
next month and start an account if
they are not already keeping one.
Farming is as truly a business as any
other line of endeavor and methods
used by other business men can be
profitably employed by farmers.
“There is more necessity now for
farmers to keep accounts than ever
before” says E. L. Moffitt, farm man-
agement extension specialist at The
Pennsylvania State College, “because
of the competition between farmers,
and between farming and other busi-
nesses, and because of the narrow
margins between costs and selling
price. When we have accounts of the
operation of the farm we know where
the extreme costs and leaks in the
business are. If we constantly elim-
inate these and lower our costs, more
money will be made for the labor and
investment tied up in the farming
business.”
An example of this is quoted by
Moffitt. Two farmers in one county
each grew seven acres of potatoes.
One used good seed and fertilizer and
sprayed eight times. He received
286 bushels of potatoes per acre, rais-
ed at a cost of 39 cents per bushel.
The other farmer used common seed
and a small quantity of fertilizer,
and he did not spray. He received
only 89 bushels of potatoes per acre
at a cost of 70 cents per bushel. Even
if the potatoes were selling at only 75
cents per bushel one man would make
a profit of 3G cents per bushel and the
other only 5 cents per bushel. Farm
accounts showed these farmers where
they stood.
While it makes little difference
when the account is started, Moffitt
explains, usually this time of year it
is easier to start because there is less
material on hand te inventory and the
farmer has more time to get the ac-
count started and in operation before
the rush of spring work begins.
“It takes very little time or effort
to keep accounts on the farm if one
has a convenient book and makes up
his mind to do it,” declares Moffitt. A
book that many farmers in the State
have found to be very satisfactory:
may be secured from the local county
agent at Bellefonte. He has a supply
on hand for distribution at just the
cost of printing the book which is 45
cents, ;

SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THESE.
If your ears burn, some one is think-
ing of you.
If your nose itches inside, you will
be pleased; if outside, you will be kiss-
ed, cursed, vexed or shake hands with
a fool within an hour.
When you sneeze, count “Once a
wish, twice a kiss, three times a wed-
ding.” Or:
“Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger;
Sneeze on Tuesday, kiss a stranger. |
Sneeze on Wednesday, sneeze for letter: |
Sneeze on Thursday for something bet- |
ter. i
Sneeze on Friday, sneeze for woe,
Sneeze on Saturday, a journey to go.
Sneeze ou Sunday, see your lover tomor-
row.” !
If your palm itches, “Rub it on
wood, It’s sure to come good.” It is
reputed to be a sign of money coming
to you.
Never kill a money spider. If sev-
eral people are together and a money
spider is seen, see upon whose hand it
will erawl. It is a fact that when sev-
eral people were present a money spi-
der would only crawl up one person’s
hands, and that person had a large
present of money a few days after-
wad.
To drop the cutlery foretells that
visitors are coming; if a knife, the
visitor will be a man; if a fork, a
woman will come to see you; and if
a spoon falls, a child.
“They say” that, if when you wake
on your birthday, you say the first
man’s name that comes into your
head, that is the name of the man you
will marry.
Of course, everybody must know
how to count cherry-stones, but in case
“everybody” doesn’t, here it is. Count
them, saying “This year, next year,
some time, never,” and the word that
comes on the last stone tells you your
fate; to find out what profession your
fate will follow, say this when count-
ing the stones, “Army, navy, doctor,
divinity, law.” :
Put wedding cake under your pil-
low, wear a borrowed wedding ring or
put a ring on the fourth finger of your
left hand, stand your shoes in the
form of a T, and you should dream of
your future husband.
Highway Department after the “Road
Hog.”
Secretary of Highways, Paul D.
Wright, Saturday warned motorists
that observance of the motor vehicle
law with respect to driving on the
right hand side of the road was being
viloated and that patrolmen will be
called upon to enforce this provision.
The “road hog” is the particular of-
fender -at whom the highway chief is
aiming this “gentle reminder.” Driv-
ing or pausing in the center of the
! quake of the previous year, the list of
, sions, tornadoes and other visitations
"was long and the loss of life was
: heavy. The Red Cross was kept busy
road is prohibited by law where free |
passage of other vehicles is prevent- |
ed.
“It is particularly important that
operators of heavy vehicles remain as |
far to the right of the pavement as |
possible,” said Wright. “There is no
appreciable crown on our modern
roads. The driver has no more eaze
driving the center than he has the
sides.”
It would appéar from this state- |
ment that certain truck drivers have
become offenders of the law quoted
by the Highway Department in the
warning.

A very small telescope, or even ik

DAILY THOUGHT
Music is the first, the simplest, {the most
effective of all instruments of moral in-
struetion.—Ruskin.
Shoes in Paris have taken on a cur-
ious new sort of heel. It is rather
higher than formerly and, while
straight on the inside, it curves out-
ward a bit on the outside. It is ex-
ceedingly smart in appearance.
An interesting Parisian dinner frock
is of black velvet with a rounded neck
and the merest hint of sleeves. Its
one trimming is a long and narrow
front panel of chiffon lightly but bril-
liantly embroidered with rhinestones,
which falls straight from the neck to
a point three inches below the hem.
Long sleeves are to stay for ‘the
winter at any rate. The newest ver-
sion is very long and decidedly nar-
Yow.
Among the attractive sports coats
for young girls is one in deep rose col-
or, in a shaggy woolen mixture. The
rese has a dim black and green plaid.
A big American opossum collar of the
shawl type is the finishing touch.
A shade-known as copper rust is
new for street wear. Shutter green is
also good, and for such accessories as
wrist bags, gloves and stockings there
is the delightful somble rose.
It is strange, but true, that we see
no signs of the vogue of the imperti-
nent little felt hat lessening. On the
contrary, it has practically routed the
larger shapes from the streets, and as
the collars of our coats grow higher
and fuller, the wider hat will be less
One of the chief reasons why the
scarf has had such a long reign and
why women are so loath to give it up,
is because it does such flattering
things to the neckline.” This is the
opinion expressed by a leading de-
signer not long ago, and I am certain-
ly inclined to agree with him.
The woman, no longer young, with
a throat which whispers her age all
too plainly, can wrap a beige scarf
nonchalantly about her serawniness or
her double chin, and take years from
her appearance. She used to do it
with ‘a length of floating chiffon, but
no one else was wearing chiffon and
her purpose was all too apparent.
Now, however, when old, young and
middle-aged wear a scarf, she is fool-
ish indeed not to take advantage of it.
. When it can be a part of the frock
it is far better, for the separate scarf,
simply because it is so often seen, is
in grave danger of being common-
place.
I noticed a very stunning scarf
treatment worn by a matron who is
as charmingly gowned as she is smart.
Her frock was black rep, very fine and
lustrous, a straight line affair and as
amazingly short as all the newer
French gowns ave. Its yoke, comin
out over the shoulders, was of a very
becoming shade of beige crepe, and a
scarf of the same crepe was woatnd
about the throat, with the ends iinish-
ed in beige dyed squirrel.
One must consider the neck you see.
But the greatest mistake any woman
can make is to add a little white: col-
lar to “soften the neckline.” This is a
trick of the amateur, and nothing
stamps a gown as amateurish so
quickly as this. If the collar doesn’t
belong there, away with it!
One can sometimes build the neck-
line which is unbecoming up or out,
as the case may he, with harmonizing
embroidery or fur or a fold of con-
trasting silk, repeated elsewhere on
the frock.
A most charming evening gown of
gold and white from a famous Paris
designer was found to have a wretch-
ed straight-across neckline, which the
buyer could not endure. The modiste
calls in her assistants and together
they evolved a V-shaped piece of rare-
ly rich gold and green embroidery
which came from the shoulders and
ended down around the wish bone. The
effect was marvelous and might easily
be copied if your frock isn’t right at.
the neck. Unless you have a lovely
neck and shoulders, the model which
ends below your armpits and is held
up merely by straps is not for you.
But with the addition of this V of em-
broidery, preferably in metal threads
or jeweled, it may easily be worn.
The V-neck is very popular for din-
ner and dance frocks. Certainly this
is a godsend to the woman whe has
struggled so bravely to look charm-
ing in a bateau neck, which is so. very
harsh and hard to wear. Bateau necks:
softened by a fold of gold or silver:
lace are frequently seen. - And a dash-
ing little model of brown satin crepe
from Walls has a very narrow gold
lace collar outlining its bateau neck.
Perhaps it was this desire to soften
a harsh line which led to the adoption
of the small collar, smaller than we:
have ever seen, which is smart at the
moment. But the woman with the: too:
thin or the too long neck must evade:
it as she would poison. For lier, the:
collar with rolls across the back is her
best friend. But it should not end in
a Directoire closing unless it is done
by an artist, for this tends to lengthen
her face and neck.
There is no doubt that the collar:
which was banished from the realms:
of the smart for so long is in favor:
again. A tour of the smart Trench
houses shows many distinctive collars.
Cheruit 1il-2¢ the Directoire cravil
with its aristocratic black satin shaan.
Jenny has a little round collar of 1' ce,
topped by narrow velvet ribbon k:iot-
ted under the chin and falling in un-
even lengths finished with tabs of
gold. Capucine collars are lied and
Vionnet has a elassic model like (he
lines of the roman toga at the neck.
A salad sandwich is served often as
the main dish of a luncheen or supper.
Chicken and lobster salad sandwiches
are especially good. Su too, is the
club sandwich, which may be served
hot or cold and contains chicken, ba-
con, lettuce and maycnnaise. Tomato,
cucumber or celery is added some-
times. For these sondwiches the bread
should not be cut too thin, and toasted
bread is better than plain.
